Aldente Pizzaria & Ristarantee Italiano

We should have been warned when we arrived at 7.10 pm and saw only one other couple dining. The Garlic and Rosemary bread starter was just okay, a small pizza with a touch of garlic and Rosemary. The Bride struggled to finish a small piece. She ordered the "Special" Crab and Prawn Papardelle, which turned out to be gluggy and not very enjoyable. She picked out the prawns and crab bits, leaving behind a lot of sauce and pasta. I ordered the other "Special," Basil Pesto Linguine with roast something or other, but it came out as Basil Pesto Linguine with whatever. The owner offered to cook something else, but by then our anticipation had waned and the Bride's meal would have gotten cold. I declined, as the rest of the menu seemed uninspiring. Overall, this was the worst Italian food we've ever had.

This restaurant feels like a second home. The food is incredibly delicious. The staff and manager/owner will go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied. I recently stopped by for some Friday afternoon takeout and was happy to discover some fantastic special package deals, which offered great savings. I have enjoyed every dish I have tried from this restaurant and would highly recommend it for a cozy dinner.

Located on the corner of the recently renovated Middle Park, you'll find this charming Italian restaurant and cafe.
