Dante Ristorante

The location is the best for this place. We weee referred by an old friend of ours to this place. The food was of substandard and taste as I felt it lacked flavor. I ordered Salmon with shrimp with Lobster sauce. I got a well done salmon with 6 pieces of shrimp that I could taste were frozen ... the lobster sauce absolutely didn't have any taste. The others in our party liked their food , so not sure if my dish was one off ! The wine list is good and so is the appetizers . As I said , the ambiance and the team is really good. Once can spend and entire evening enjoying the outdoors.The food prices are ok.This is a one time visit .

Great Italian restaurant in Great Falls. Couldn't been more pleased with the food and the wine. Will definitely be back.

Amazing pasta, amazing service, and wonderful atmosphere. I've never had a bad experience here.

We had a family dinner here when we were in town. The service was unbelievable. Paulo was our server and he took care of our every need. From the Caesar salad to the filet mignon to the amazing tiramisu, nothing could've been more perfect. Restaurant is set in a darling old house that has been renovated. I would highly recommend if you are in the Great Falls area to try out this amazing restaurant.

We enjoyed a fantastic meal at Dante's while visiting family in Great Falls. Attentive, personable servers. Quaint, comfortable setting. Nice size menu with a range of regular choices. as well as daily specials. I had the most delicious fettuccine with shrimp scampi. Thankfully, the shrimp was just perfectly cooked and light on the garlic. The homemade fettuccine was such a treat. Crème caramel dessert was on point. The cappuccino was an excellent punctuation mark in the whole evening. I'm already looking forward to returning.

Dante's Ristorante was a pleasant surprise on our journey to find great food in NoVa. The outside ambiance was beautiful, with a large patio that will be perfect for when the weather warms back up. The inside was reminiscent of an old Italian style restaurant, both charming and unique. We were taken to our table promptly, about 10 mins before our actual reservation time. The small dining room we sat in was cozy and quiet, ideal for an intimate night with a loved one or friend. We were greeted right away and ordered cocktails while enjoying an assortment of breads. We started off with an appetizer; a tower made up of crab meat, tomato, avocado and balsamic reduction. It tasted fresh and was a great start to our meal. We ordered the special, a risotto dish with scallops and lobster sauce. The risotto was tender and the scallops were perfectly cooked. The lobster sauce added a nice flavor and creaminess to the dish. The lasagna was also a solid choice. It was stacked with thin, crepe-like noodles topped with a delicious meat sauce. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate temptation, made up of chocolate cake, hazelnut cream with a chocolate glaze. It definitely satisfied our sweet tooth at the end of the night. Overall, I would rate Dante's an 8.5/10 (which is a high score in my book) for ambiance, service and our meal. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Every December I look forward to our holiday party hosted at Dante's. My favorite part to this restaurant is the friendly and hard working staff. All staff members are passionate with their service and never forget to ask how we are doing. There's not a moment I don't get food or drinks offered. The environment is very cozy and fitting to the dishes. The LAMB CHOPS ARE TO DIE FOR; So perfectly seasoned and cooked at the perfect temperature. Lastly, I wish I had photographed their desserts, but the panna cotta is a dessert I've been dreaming of since I had it. The softest and creamy texture balanced well with the berry purée. I definitely see myself coming back and would love to take my family there. Thank you for another amazing experience! Shout out to our bartender that night for entertaining us and making all of my aperol spritzers.

After a day of meetings my CEO brought his direct reports to dinner to unwind . For many years I have not been a fan of Italian food but that has slowly changed so now I know what to order and enjoy.This restaurant is in Great Falls very close to route 7 and Reston.Slightly tucked away in a corner you have to drive around and in as we found out when we all called Ubers to take us back home.Very nice inside atmosphere we were provided a room for of us which provided an intimate setting with a bar.For appetizers we had the calamari, mozzarella, Torretta and of course bread and oil. With green olives. All very tasty .For main courses it varied from the sole special which I had and was awesome cooked to perfection. Others had the lobster tail , veal, lamb chops . All enjoyed their food.For dessert cannoli and Pannacciulli cotta. Wine of course which accompanied the meal.Very quaint inside and I have several pictures.A definite recommend .

This restaurant is a hidden gem. The restaurant itself has a rich history and is beautiful. I had dinner outside and the view of the courtyard was really nice. The food was delicious, I ordered the lasagne and it was so good. The service was wonderful. The entire staff is kind, professional, and attentive. The prices are what you would expect to pay for quality food and service. I look forward to returning and trying other dishes.

I have dined here with my father many times ever since I was a child. The staff is quite friendly and attentive, the decorating is simple and charming, and the many different rooms make it quite quiet. The outdoor area has some lovely little fountains. The background music is mostly classical/opera. Everything about the place feels very classic and not kitschy like I find many Italian restaurants to be. Food is always delicious and presented excellently. Definitely one of my favorite places to go out to lunch.
