Best Italian Restaurants in University Circle

Waiter was pleasantly helpful. Food was delicious and plentiful. Ambiance was delightful.😊

great date night! food and ambiance were incredible

This was my first visit to Dante and I can assure you it will not be my only visit. I was impressed from the moment we arrived with a very kind and polite Valet. Phil welcomed us in and he showed us to our table that was set beautifully. Our server John came to the table with a tray of 4 glasses of champagne to wish my wife and I a happy anniversary. From there the culinary experience began and every course was truly delicious. The evening ended with a couple of desserts and me knowing that it will not be too long before I return to Dante. Thank you to Chef Dante and the entire staff for such a wonderful time.

Absolutely great service great food great ambience all the way around 100%

We have been coming to this restaurant for the past 25+ years, probably more than a dozen visits, and we have always walked away raving about the quality of the food and service. Tonight was no exception. Everything we had from Tommy’s Tomato Salad to the fresh fish selection to the veal Parmesan and beyond was prepared perfectly and tasted delicious. A special treat is always having a conversation with the owner and executive chef, Terry Tarantino, who makes the rounds of the tables serving up his own version of Cacio d’Pepe. It would be a disappointment to miss him and his hat. Lucky for us, he was there to oversee the goings on, as usual. The Little Italy neighborhood location, too, is a delight. Take some time and walk around while you are there. Tip: opt for Little Italy valet parking or expect to walk some distance from whatever parking spot you can find nearby.
