Al Dente Ristorante

Welcome to Al dente Ristorante, central New Jersey's masterpiece of genuine old-world Italian cuisine. Host and Chef Carlo Orrico caters to savvy, sophisticated diners with excellent standards of food and service, and as his lunch or dinner guest you are sure to enjoy a traditional yet creative meal and first-rate service by an attentive and gracious staff.

As Al dente's executive chef, he prepares and serves traditional Italian fare that is representative of the major regions of Italy. Menu items are widely copied but never duplicated - each is prepared using the freshest and finest-quality ingredients, cooked to order and certain to please both the palate and the soul. In addition, Al dente's award-winning wine list offers an extensive array of choices to complement any dish and enhance your dining experience.

Al dente's main dining room and the private banquet areas provide tastefully elegant surroundings with imaginative decor that is reminiscent of a 17th-century Italian villa. The newly enhanced outdoor patio provides a pleasant atmosphere for alfresco dining with a privacy fence, awning, radiant heat and soft, subtle music.
