When my family wanted to try one of the area's new restaurants, we decided on dante after enjoying the chef's work at blu. We had a great experience and want to highly recommend it. We were seated on the patio on a warm Saturday night, and it was lovely to be near the river; we could even hear bits of music from a concert at the Hatch Shell. Our waiter could not have been nicer or more knowledgable, really enhancing the evening's experience. All of the food was delicious, from the chewy bread and crispy crackers, to the appetizers that we shared--an onion tart and to-die-for gnocchi. I may have a full order as an entree next time! I had the crespelle, which is phyllo wrapped around vegetables. I had tastes of the juicy chicken that came with a stuffed pepper, and the scallops. All were very flavorful with lovely side dishes. From the beginning of the evening I had announced that I would be having dessert! and I ordered the most delicious, creamy lemon encased in something coconut. My sister ordered fried dough with four dipping sauces, and that was equally yummy. We are from outside the Boston area and found it very easy to drive to the Sonesta, with parking right next to the restaurant. The restaurant stamped our parking receipt and the cost of parking ended up being inexpensive for a night out. Do try dante and order some gnocchi with your dinner!
Pros: Food is delicious. Easy to drive to.
