    New spot for my wife and I. We've passed this location multiple times and decided to finally stop by and check it out. Glad we did!! Food was fresh and HOT!! I don't particularly like just cheese pizza but this Ai 4 formaggio pizza is delish. Probably the best my wife has had (she stated). The fettuccine is wide noodles and Al dente. And comes with side of seasoned bread. We also ordered tiramisu which had had crunchy middle (not a fan of the soggy middle). Overall my wife and I recommend this Al Dente located inside the Dunedin Mix.

    The best pizza I've had anywhere.

    Their margarita pizza is the best I've ever had. You can tell the dough is homemade and the sauce is imported, Italian tomatoes, and the mozzarella is a step above everybody else great pizza.

    Sausage Ravioli with Vodka Sauce

    Great food! I greatly enjoyed my experience at Al Dente and look forward to my next trip! The pizza was great as well (forgot to take a picture)

    "margherita pizza"

    I feel bad giving a poor review to a new restaurant. I know it's hard out there for a new place but like... I don't mind "our take on ____ (traditional recipe)," if it's made really clear that it's a revisioning of the recipe. Their description says, "San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella, basil." So I was bamboozled into thinking the thing they market as a margherita pizza would have some similarity to an actual margherita pizza. It does not. It's a floppy undercooked cheese pizza with a light pesto drizzle. I originally wanted to order some other items but based on this I don't trust the rest of their menu. I would be embarrassed to serve this.

    Sausage and provolone boom!

    WOW got takeout tonight... the pizza bowled us over... we got the sausage and provolone. the flavors were amazing. this is now our go to pizza place hands down...yum... Updated an hour later... ok add the antipasto salad which explodes w amazing quality meat and sharp cheeses AND the bread is a great compliment.

    Gnocchi Bolognese

    Everything is a 10/10. I am obsessed with this hidden gem. These gnocchi were delicious. They make real italian food, not the typical italo-americano dishes and some people may not understand that. As an italian, i've been looking for a place like this for years and im so happy I have finally found real amazing italian food.

    We've tried this place a couple of times now and had overall good experiences…read more The service is good, the servers are friendly and the bar has a nice draft selection. The chicken Marsala needs improvement, the sauce didn't have great flavor and the chicken was not seasoned well. Using large (maybe portobello?) mushrooms provides a weird texture to the dish. On the other hand, when you cut into the Pork Chop, the heavens may part and angels sing. This chop is magnificent!!! We ordered on Wednesday night which offers a special Italian preparation with a tomato reduction sauce. The pork itself is so tender you can cut it with a fork. It melts in your mouth. GO for the pork chop! It's marvelous.

    Context: I'm here in Dunedin to visit my sweet 88 yr old Mom and my dear Brother. Cafe Alfresco has…read morebeen their favorite restaurant for over a decade. My Brother lives in St Pete and takes our Mom to eat there or calls in for take-out at least 2-3 times per month. We arrived tonight (Thursday) around 7:45 PM to bypass the dinner rush. Walking in to be seated, I noticed several empty tables that had not yet been cleared with several people waiting outside to be seated. I was told "there will be at least a 10-15 minute wait, to give my name, and to wait outside." I thought maybe there were enough people waiting already to take up the empty tables, but that wasn't the case. We sat outside in the cold waiting and watching the guy stand at the bar doing nothing to help bus the empty tables, some of which were right by the window. After 15 minutes or more, we were finally called in last walking by the same uncleared tables, led to another table as the table cloth was being placed on it, no menus, no apology for the extra long (unnecessary) wait outside in the cold. When we finally placed our order, we waited some more. Finally our server said "there was a mix up and our order had not gone through." When Mom's favorite seared salmon finally arrived, it was dry and overcooked. I have never written a bad review on Yelp in my life. But, I hated to see my precious Mom & Brother treated this way. Loyal customers should not be taken for granted.
