Al Dente

TDLR: It's better than what the yelp rating would suggest. It's not the best pasta but it's good enough for a return trip and a recommendation. Truffle Flatbread: Fragrant, filling, and fresh. The bread's crust held the whole thing well and the insides were chewy. The truffle taste stayed throughout the meal, and I think this is a classic combination done well. Cajun Chicken Pasta: It's rich, creamy, and contain a bit of heat. The sauce is just teetering over the point of being too much but is still cut down enough by the pasta. The chicken was plentiful and solid, and the portion is something I won't complain about. Service: It's a to-go spot, so nothing out of the ordinary happened when conversing with the staff.Ambiance: The place is in a food park. So it's breezy, parking isn't an issue, and there are options outside of this one to try.

Just okay...The shrimp Alfredo was not it. The sauce tasted like flour. Not buttery and cheesy like it should be. I hate it when places skimp on the ingredients for Alfredo sauce and it tastes gross. I did not like the Alfredo sauce on the shrimp Alfredo dish. The Caesar salad was decent. Nothing special though. I picked off the chicken and gave that to my dog to eat. My dog enjoyed the chicken. I ate the lettuce with dressing on it. My husband had the pasta with mushroom sauce, and the spicy fusilli dish. He liked the spiciness of the fusilli fish. He didn't care for the mushroom sauce though. It was bland tasting. Service seemed fine. Everything was delivered in brown bags, and had utensils. I can't speak on the ambiance, as I ordered for delivery.

The food is so amazing, confident to say i have never had italian food anywhere else that's better, it just hits the right spot!! Service was good, and food was made pretty quickly but cooked well and stayed hot!!

Stopped by Al Dente during a recent trip to Steelcraft in Garden Grove and had a good first experience. They are the designated stop for Italian food on property and they do not disappoint. Our party was torn between building our dream pasta dish or ordering a flatbread, but since we were ordering several items from all of the vendors to eat and share, we went with a simple pepperoni flatbread. The staff was friendly and our order came out within a reasonable wait time given they were busy at Steelcraft that day. Our flatbread was everything to be expected in a good way. A nice, shareable size. A solid sauce to cheese ratio. Plenty of pepperoni. We were more than satisfied with this tasty and filling meal. The price was also very affordable for what we received. We would definitely return to Al Dente upon our next visit to Steelcraft in Garden Grove. I would love to create my dream pasta dish next time with the many options they have available.

This dish was absolutely delicious. Ordered on door dash, charged long distance fee and it was still hot & fresh on delivery. Pasta cooked perfectly, sauce real tasty with right amount of heat. I'd definitely go back.

Seriously have never had a bad meal whenever we come here (and we come here a lot) and it's one of our faves at Steelcraft. Had the bbq chicken flatbread last week and added some pineapple (fight me) and jalapeños - love that they didn't charge for extra toppings. Crust, sauce, cheese, and everything about it was perfect! It was a beautiful day outside at Steelcraft and we couldn't have asked for better service and weather! Must try items imo: bbq chicken and margherita flatbreads, any of the pastas but especially the pesto creamy and pink sauces!

Came to Al Dente while visiting Steelcraft since they were one of the only places that had salad in the entire place. I ordered a Caesar salad without any add-ons and it was quite expensive ($14 after tax and tip). The salad was very fresh, but the portion size could have been much bigger given the high price.

Service was fast but nothing special, you order at a window and are given a beeper that goes off when you're food is ready for pick up. Overall the ambiance is good, Steelcraft has many other options and entertainment. Today we had the spinach ravioli in pesto sauce. It was delicious. At first glance it does not appear to be much but halfway through you begin to contemplate whether you can finish or not. Would be perfect with one breadstick which they have as a side as a garlic bread.Overall I would have again!

This is the second time I've eaten from their lil shipping container and it's good. I would eat here again, if I'm already here, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here for a craving. The service was quick. Under 10 minutes for my meal to arrive. The ambiance is cute. I would say it's all slightly above average and a bit pricey. We ordered the spaghetti & meatballs with mushrooms and everything seemed like an upsell. After it was all said and done, I think the price doesn't justify the atmosphere.

The food was beyond delicious. Definitely a must place to eat. Enjoyed the open atmosphere and the speed of service.
