Taste the Passion
For more than 30 years, families have relied on Dante’s to bring an authentic taste of Italy into their home. This casual restaurant serves up gourmet salads, homemade pastas and mouthwatering dishes made with the freshest ingredients. You can taste their passion in every bite!
 
Cheese, please!
Dante’s medium-sized appetizer menu features large portions of your favourites that don’t break the bank. Discover huge portions of bruschetta served on French bread with basil-marinated cherry tomatoes. Perfect for sharing is the calamari served with sundried tomato aioli and fresh lemon. For a blazing kick, regulars adore the steamed mussels with roasted peppers, sautéed onions and spicy tomato sauce. A handful of gourmet salads steal the spotlight thanks to mouthwatering ingredients and homemade dressings. Among the standouts is the gourmet cheese salad loaded with lettuce, cherry tomatoes and heaps of bocconcini, goat cheese and smoked provolone.
 
What a Clam!
When you’re short on time but don’t want to sacrifice taste, order a hearty Italian sandwich topped with marinated red peppers, mozzarella cheese and black olives. Some standouts include tender veal and breaded eggplant simmered with tomato sauce. Pasta lovers are also in luck thanks to Dante’s specialty spaghetti made from scratch. Try the tender gnocchi simmered in authentic tomato sauce and baked with mozzarella. If that doesn’t catch you fancy then linguine with tender baby clams will! A tasty selection of chicken and veal dishes round off the menu. For a sweet ending, order a decadent dessert of vanilla gelato topped with hot steamed espresso. Or how about a slice of three-layer chocolate fudge cake topped with chocolate ganache?
