Ever changing menu – dante's. If you haven't run into Chef Dante around town yet you haven't been looking. The man inspires the same personallity in his menu as he does hosting a 7 deadly sins NYE Blow Out! I've been visiting the restaurant since August, it seems the cocktails are always changing, keeping me comming back. The menu changes seasonally though often features nightly additions. Catch a White Alban truffle dish if your lucky. Best way to experience Dante is with a Pre-fixe tasting. Extra special when Chef is in th... read more

Great experience – My friends and I had a wonderful experience at Dante for my recent Birthday dinner. The manager, Seth was very accommodating and the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. I have been to Dante several times and have had a great experience every time. The food is great, the ambiance is nice and I can't wait for the patio to open. Oh, and the gnocci are delicious!

Stylish hotel restaurant serves creative fare (andouille sausage corn dogs, homemade "potato stix") on one of city's largest riverfront patios. – Dante de Magistris, formerly of the The Sports Club/LA's blu, opened his first restaurant in the Royal Sonesta (in the former Cambridge Davio's), serving all three meals with flair. More than 200 seats are spread throughout eight different seating areas, including two lounges and a large outdoor patio that sports views of the Charles and Boston's skyline. Dante's lengthy menu consi... read more

Great food, amazing patio – I'm a frequent diner at "Dante". Our meals have been consistently awesome. I enjoy the ambiance and dining experience provided by "Dante". The waiters tend to be very kind and know the menu in detail. And the patio is fantastic come summer time. 3 things: 1. About the previous review: my family had brunch on Mother's day, and it was very busy at the restaurant. I understand the previous reviewer may have been unhappy with her service, but sometimes when you go to a restaurant on such a busy holida... read more

Try it before it is too busy to get in! – We've been twice to this upscale Italian restaurant in the Royal Sonesta. Each time the food has been outstanding. The original draw was that were able to get a reservation on a weekend night. If word gets out on how good the food is that shouldn't be true for long. We dined with our two children. Each of us loved every course of our meal. To start we were treated to an amuse bouche of risotto cakes, which made my children swoon. The waiter could see how much we enjoyed them and prom... read more

Delicious and creative menu. Lovely atmosphere – Our family was looking for a special restaurant in Cambridge to celebrate a birthday and enjoy Sunday brunch. We thought of Dante after having many delicious dinners there. We really enjoyed the brunch service and want to highly recommend it. Our group was seated at a comfortable banquette overlooking the Charles River on a beautifully sunny morning. We all agreed the atmosphere was perfect. Our waiter was a familiar face to us and, as always, could not have been friendlier. H... read more

Great Place for an Event – I recently discovered this new gem... perfect for a rehearsal dinner, shower, or brunch! It was recommended for my engagement party...and the food and service were exceptional! I thought it was going to be price-prohibitive, but it wasn't at all. The space is beautiful and because they have many different areas, dante can accomodate a party of any size. The best part was their gorgeous patio over-looking the charles river and boston skyline. I plan to coordinate my friend's baby shower on it this s... read more

A sophisticated New England 21st century version of the great Italian classics my Nonna in Rome used to make. – I recently had the great pleasure of dinning at Dante de Magistriss new restaurant at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge (across from the galleria). I am a native Italian who can count on one hand the number of Italian restaurants I have been to in 20 years in the US that have not disappointed, at the top of my short list is San Domenico in New York. After having tried the fare at Dantes I now have another additi... read more
