This restaurant is outright offensive!! If you order wine- especially the super Tuscan selection- The servers are instructed to pour house wine. Grey goose martini? I hope you can tell the difference- because he... (more)

Some food is OK, other is not up to standard. Price is most definitely overboard for what you get. Sitting close to bar is worst thing possible...noisy and obnoxious employees. Chief chef should also stop yelling in... (more)

Mediocre food passed on as original Italian. It's OK, but definitely not worth the prices they list. As others have also said, the wines are a ripoff in price....3rd rate wines at premium prices. You can do just as well... (more)

Il mangiare non e' veramente Italiano. Certo mangiare e' buono e certo fa schifo, ma tutto costa troppo. Il "chef" non e' un vero "chef" come uno pensa. Invece e' un cuoco di montagna. Va in giro come un coglione con una... (more)

The place is OK. But, nothing to write home about in terms of food quality and value. We have been there a number of times due to our home location and we have found that quality of food is very inconsistent from week to... (more)

It's ok, small, and overpriced. I got ripped off on the pasta with tartufo...about a spoonfull of pasta with a few cheap (probably Chines sourced) mushrooms they like to call "tartufos". Tartufo my a-s! They were... (more)

I tried it with wife and friends this past weekend. I loved the place. The food was excellent, service no problem, and a wonderful atmosphere. The chef greeted us at our table and prepared some wonderful food. We will... (more)

I have been going to this place over the past year. The food is not too bad and in fact it's sometimes very good. It seems to be inconsistent, maybe depending on who cooks it at any given time. Service is good. The wines are... (more)

I loved the food and the relaxed atmosphere. Great place to spend a quiet evening dining.. Not sure waht all the fuss is about prices. Good food is costly everywhere and this place is no costlier than any good... (more)

I have no affiliation with this resaturant and I have never been there before but i was curious who has the time to write all these bad reviews. They are clearly written by the same person. Even worse is the fact that this... (more)

Last few people got it right! Dante paisan is by no means a "chef", even if he gives himself that title. He can't cook much of anything with a few exceptions. He is not only rude to staff but sometimes to customers - we... (more)

Terrible food, service is weak and the BIG-SHOT owner Mr. Dante is a bad Italian joke. This wannabe pisan can't cook so he tries to schmooze around the joint trying to justify his overpriced menu. The bar is poorly... (more)

Not only is that stuff about the Dante chef-owner true, but his prices are out of sight considering what you get. The food is average in most cases but sometimes poor as his cook(s) don't cook it right....like cold veal... (more)

We agree with previous reviewer completely. Have eaten there twice and have also seen this Dante clown treating his people like trash. The guy comes around with a s - -t eating grin like a fool and thinks himself as our... (more)

Talk about overpriced!!!!! The food was fair and not hot when I got it. Service was average or below. Wine was cheap stuff and priced through the sky. Place is noisy. (more)

Ate there last Saturday, wouldn't ever go back. The manager "Dante" is a real idiot, arrogant and demeaning to his wait staff. We were embarassed for his employees. A classless bully who tries to impress the... (more)

Took my wife and her parents here for their anniversary, We are all Italian and her parents are as Italian as one can get. First comment: "Is this all the pasta they give in a dish?" . They were amazed that the place can... (more)

I know food, Italian food. We ate at Tartufo Friday night. My objective judgement is that the food was inconsistent quality, way way overpriced in many cases, a noisy place to eat, and fair service. Stay away from... (more)
