Everything was absolutely delicious!! Gluten free pasta option, too!! Yay! The owner was there and spoke with us about the restaurant, talked to our children, told us all about the menu and made recommendations! He is so nice and the service and food were both EXCELLENT! Can't wait to go back and eat there again!

Let me start by saying (as one other reviewer did) that I am an Italian food snob, and have never had a decent Italian meal in the 7 years I've been coming to PR. Maybe I'm setting the bar high, but I don't feel cheddar cheese belongs on my pizza or my pasta dish. So despite the good ratings on... More

Having lived in Europe (and Italy) for many years this is one of the finest Italian restaurants outside of Italy. Great service, location and especially the food!

Being from NJ I rarely eat Italian in the Caribbean...I admit it, I'm a snob about it. Al Dente was fantastic! I had the Veal Involtini with mushrooms and Marsala, also the chicken.

This place is great. Great wine list. Tasty food. Good and fun service. Can't go wrong. I ate hear three years ago and returned on my most recent visit. It was just as good the second time around.

The evening wait staff was very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was quiet and refreshing after the bustle on the streets of Old San Juan. The rice, spinach, cheese ball appetizer was so delicious. Do not miss the chance to order this unique dish. The mahi mahi was the freshest, cooked perfectly. I ordered it with extra vegetables and they... More

I have visited Al Dente three times for different occasions and have never been disappointed. The service has been excellent - bi-lingual staff, the food - various appetizers and entrees, delicious and the atmosphere - both inside and out, perfect (of course good weather helps the outside seating). I have recommended Al Dente to numerous colleagues and friends and they... More

We asked a local taxi driver for an Italian he directed us past 2 to get to this one. Very glad we kept walking. It's (apparently) the olds Italian in San Juan. Food was excellent. We only wanted a main course but they gave us a sample of the soup which was to die for. We ended up having 3... More
