Excellent food and quality service. Will definitely be going back.

We had a very enjoyable meal on Saturday 17th Feb 2024.Very hard to find Porcini Ravioli in London so I was pleasantly surprised. My wife enjoyed her Fegato Veneziana. The service was friendly and efficient.

We were so lucky. Just passing by, needing our dinner but not having much time to spare, there was this restaurant full of empty tables with two people standing inside looking as if they were waiting for something. The calm before the storm I think. We'd not booked but they managed to squeeze the two of us in as long as we weren't planning on staying too long. Fantastic freshly-cooked food. A lovely, welcoming and friendly atmosphere with convivial company at the next table. It was nothing like empty when we left and for very good reason. Totally authentic, both in its Italian-ness and its welcome. We will definitely come again and we'll definitely book first next time.

We were actually looking to book an alternative restaurant when we came across a review recommending Dante instead! So we decided to give it a try. It's an authentic family run Italian. The staff were welcoming and receptive. The food was delicious and made with love. Our only complaint was there were no profiteroles left, gutted! But we will come again another time :)

ADULTS ONLY restaurant. The owner was not happy to let us in with our 3 year old, because, according to him, kids run everywhere and cause annoyance. We left the place, speechless. We ate somewhere else.

I've been to Dante's a few times but last time was around 2019 so thought I'd go back for the first time in years. The service was incredible, funny and friendly staff. One staff member adjusted a cocktail to my liking. The food was delicious and moreish, I had two desserts because I simply couldn't decide. The lemon cheesecake was to die for - the most lemoney lemon ever. Even opened earlier for us so we could get finished before a show. We'll be back!

Maybe my friend and I are just piggys, but we were still hungry after our meal and had to go into spoons next door to share a bowl of some chips! We had a pizza which had 4 small slices and the cannelloni, which only had 2 and a half pieces of pasta in the sauce. It was all very tasty but just not enough! ☹️

Starters were very small portions. Veal al limone was almost inedible. Very gristly, presentation reminded me of school dinners, one choice of vegetable. This was not Italian food at its best to say the least.

Ate here last night. We haven’t been for ages! We used to come quite frequently but we rarely eat out now. Well .. the food was absolutely delicious!!! Really good authentic Italian cooking at its best.
Absolutely amazing service from Emma, I had the seafood special/risotto which I'd highly recommend. We visited with family and my 8 year old son, a must visit. Thank you Dante!

We moved to Potters Bar recently and have not been impressed by the local restaurants. Finally, we found Dante down the road and it has become our favourite restaurant here. It has home cooked Italian food which makes it a home from home place to go and have dinner. Without a doubt, the best restaurant in Potters Bar.

Pizza was tasty, but the risotto lacked flavour. I would return for their pizzas.

I had a great time at Dante’s, the food was good, lovely ambiance and great service. The staff were really pleasant and I’d love to go there again. Unfortunately I can’t remember what my meal was called but it was one of the chef’s specials that day. It was octopus and prawns in cherry tomato sauce with squid ink pasta. This was my first time trying it and I was pleasantly surprised. I’d give it a 7/10. I like spicy food and this wasn’t spicy for me hence the rating.Their fried calamari was excellent, i just wish the portion was more than what we got. It was very fresh and crispy.Something to note when you get there, the door is not in the middle and doesn’t slide open ?? depending on where you come from it’ll be on the far right( just for anyone like me that expects all doors to automatically open for them)
