Expensive and less than mediocre. Also, the namesake is literal: the pasta is on the uncooked side of al dente. We came here for lunch and got the pesto linguini and the carbonara. The pesto had a subtle fennel taste (which I despise) and instead of parmesan cheese it had a kilo of salt. The pine nuts were actually very good. But the severely undercooked pasta and the heavily over-salted sauce were a death sentence. The server was friendly but rather frustrating: As he handed us the drink menu, he asked for our drink order; then returned about a minute later to ask for our food order. We asked for a few minutes to review the menu, so he returned less than 30 seconds later. read more

Best Italian food I had ever. I've been all over Italy and to many fine Italian restaurants in the states but this one has beaten them all. Fantastic octopus appetizer followed by a great linguini and clams. Tons of flavor and they even make their own delicious pasta. Wine list is expansive but may definitely on the high priced side. Even though I didn't have any, I hear the tiramisu is killer. The staff was also very courteous and helpful. They spoke English very well. I would 100% go back. read more

Aldente - Italian Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

I'll try to keep this short. What I ordered: Spaghetti aglio e olio. What I received: Thick, white egg noodles drowning in butter, with thick chunks of old-tasting garlic. I've been to Florence, Rome, Venice, and all over Tuscany, and that is NOT what a plate of of pasta should look or taste like. That plate of pasta was an insult to all who love Italian Food. Waiter was rude, too. Never again. read more

The food was perfectly fine. The alfresco dining was nice. The customer service was atrocious! At first i assumed it was the language barrier, however I noticed the servers treating all of the customers similarly, by ignoring them... So if you like mediocre food and terrible customer service, I'd recommend Aldente. Otherwise, avoid it. read more

I was on vacation in Prague and after eating the more traditional Czech cuisine for several meals, I began craving something different. Maybe it was all the Italian tourists I happened to see when I was walking around, but I decided to scope out an Italian restaurant. Aldente definitely did not disappoint! Since my friend and I didn't have reservations, we were seated in the downstairs area, which was very quiet and quaint, though a little dark. My meal here is probably one of the best Italian meals I have ever had anywhere! I had the spaghetti alla chitarra with guanciale. The homemade pasta tasted incredibly fresh and had a lovely texture. I also very much enjoyed the tiramisu, which was perfectly soft and moist and not too alcohol-laden. The staff was friendly, and communication in English was not at all a problem. I definitely recommend trying this place out! read more

This place is sometimes just amazing and sometimes I feel its just ok. I like to come here in the summer when the weather is nice and you can be watching the people passing by. Then, it really feels like Italy read more

Visited Prague for 4 days and ate there twice. Authentic and fresh Italian cuisine. Service is outstanding and helpful. We stopped by for lunch and a glass of vino. Tried the carbonara, cheese plate and the house tomato soup (amazing)! Dinner the next night, we enjoyed the risotto special, split a salad and mussels with pasta. Here's the deal, my bride orders the squid ink pasta and shrimp, however due to a slight language mix up she got the mussels and pasta...best mistake ever!! We both loved it! Great and affordable wine selection as well. read more

The food was great! The interior is so Italian, the service was excellent. Definitely recommend people, it's reasonably priced . What else would you want :) read more

After living in Prague for over a month this is by far the best meal I've had. Great environment, amazing staff with great english, and awesome food. With the help of the staff we had wine, appetizer, the nightly special and dessert and they were all great. The prices were great for the quality as well! read more

We enjoyed Aldente from the moment we walked until we finished our Meas and left. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS. MY My wife's salad was fresh,had a nice variety of ingredients and very lightly dressed..still crisp. I ordered scallops expertly cooked with wine and herbs We both ordered pork chops which arrived hot off the grill well seasoned and covered in fresh mushrooms. The waitstaff was attentive, but not at all I intrusive, The price was very reasonable given the level of service and quality of food. Treat yourself when you are in Prague. read more

Incredibly delicious meal this evening. I ordered the steak tagliata, which was flavorful and tender. My wife ordered the risotto marchere, absolutely delightful. An easy choice for Italian in Prague. read more

When we waiter said fish of the day and whipped out a fancy tray holding good looking whole fish guys I was sold

This restaurant was all style & no substance. The service was very slow, they messed up 2 of our orders, forgot our sparkling water and balsamic vinegar, the sauce on one of our dishes tasted like Classico with a bit of spice added, & it took forever to get our check. The manager did try to offer us free drinks on the house, but by then we just wanted to leave. Very mediocre, overpriced, & not worth your time. read more

Accidentally we came across this little jewel "Aldente". We had a reservation next door , But didn't like the mostly bar ambience and Stumbled across Aldente. Being from NY and San Francisco, we had experienced Quite a few good Italian restaurants. This Was phenomenal....from the humble mixed green and tomato salad to divine Freshly sliced prosciutto and incredible Pasta main courses... We were amazed And would eat here on a weekly basis Except for the distance. An unexpected Bonus was the waitress and maître de. Unbelievably gracious and warm... Plus, the food and wine prices are more Than fair. read more

Wonderful Italian food in Prague at a reasonable price. Great atmosphere outside on the sidewalk. Excellent service as well. Ordered 3 pasta dishes, all homemade and beautifully prepared. This is coming from San Francisco foodies. The gelateria next door Aldolce is owned by the same people and offers the incredible gelato. Best pistachio I've ever had, easily. That includes travel throughout Europe and Italy. Excellent service, too. So good we went back! Can't recommend either restaurant highly enough! read more

This place was awful. Tacky. Touristy. Fake. My pasta was not al dente, just raw. Someone else received giant chunks of sausage on her plate. The gnocchi was absolutely swimming in cheese like American mac and cheese. Couldn't find much seafood in the risotto, and the prawns were pretty gross and overcooked. The Sommelier poured one bottle of wine very fancy, and the other was served by a regular waiter. Strange. And the bill was horrific! The night before we spent half as much and ordered more. Don't go unless you're too stupid to find your way out of Prag 1. The people recommending this place as "real Italy" probably ate at chain restaurants on their Italy trips. read more

Somebody In this kitchen knows what they're doing. Dinner for 2 started with fresh foccaccio and two glasses of red. My lovely salad had a generous portion of tender calamari and fresh white asparagus both perfectly char-broiled. My dinner partner didn't offer me a taste of the tuna carpaccio (with julienned strawberries!) but he said it was great. We shared a whole sea bream paired with veggies, all simply grilled and presented with an excellent olive oil. Expert table side preparation and attentive service. This is a gem in Old Town Prague. read more

Went with my wife after a concert. Great find and great reasonably priced dinner. Attentive service, fresh pasta, good fish and fresh vegetables. Varied wine list. I recommend. read more

Aldente - Fresh bread and prosciutto. Yummy olive oil. - Italian Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

We just wandered in...and had a delicious lunch. Everything was fresh. Service was great. Highly recommend.

The food was impeccably prepared and fresh. Would highly recommend the buffalo mozzarella w/ tomato, rocket and truffle honey. Both the amatriciana and arribiata sauces had quite a kick from the chili flakes. The service was quite friendly but also quite slow. Would not suggest this place to people who are used to/looking for a very attentive waitstaff. For an excellent Italian meal though, it's worth the wait(ing). read more

I enjoyed my pasta here, fettucini with porcini mushrooms. I also had the green salad which I thought was just OK, and actually had a fair number of brown lettuce. In general, the service was friendly and warm, but the waiter who took our order was annoying. He tried to talk us out of the wine we ordered, and practically begged us, loudly, to get dessert. "Not even limoncello?! Grappa?!" Everyone was staring and it was kind of uncomfortable. The other waitress and maitre d were very nice, and the atmosphere was very charming, so I would go back. read more

Solid Italian meal with good service. We actually sat next to a family visiting from Italy, who seemed very pleased with their meals. I had gnocchi and my husband had the bolognese. Both were good. The chocolate cake was also a nice way to cap off the meal. Recommend for when you need an alternative to Czech food. read more

The food was good the wine was excellent, and the service too was excellent. The prices were fair, the dessert, which was a raspberry crostata was very good. read more

Aldente - DOCG Castello Verrazzano 2011 Riserva - Italian Near Me - Prague, Puerto Rico

Fabulous atmosphere, service and food. Great wine selection as well. Reasonably priced. Best restaurant experience I had in four day trip to Prague. Highly recommend! read more

Two stars for great wait staff and bread/olive oil. The food was bland. I never send back dishes but I did here. They offered only side dishes with certain main entrees, which I didn't understand. My risotto wasn't cooked through and the pork loin wasn't very warm and bland. The food was terrible. That said, it was late and they may have wanted to go home (we were there an hour before closing and there were a few other tables there). They may have had an off night. But I wouldn't come here because there are so many amazing restaurants in the area that are consistently good every time. read more

Lasagna was ok, carbonara was very bitter ! I guess coming from Las Vegas we get the best of almost anything .. not impressed..

Never been to an Italian restaurant as bad as this one. Absolutely tasteless!! The grilled salmon is OK, but the pasta and the viel steak are the worst ever. I didn't leave a tip for a 1st time since ages!! read more

Wow!! I am not sure why this place wasn't packed. The prices were great, the food was phenomenal, the service was good and the small touches of how things were served and plated made it a wonderful experience. I will be dreaming of this meal for some time to come. The lasagna was supreme, melting in my mouth with every bite. And the tiramisu for dessert was light and flavorful, begging for every bite to be savored. YUM!! Go. Now. read more

I was absolutely thrilled to find such amazing, authentic Italian cuisine outside of Italy. Ingredients were noticeably fresh (especially in the amazing bruschetta ) and the handmade pasta was unbelievably good. Service was so attentive and had a great sense of humor. The tiramisu is a MUST to top off an amazing meal! read more

The food here is outstanding, the service is great, and the the prices are insanely low for the quality. Definitely check this place out! Oh also, if you're from the USA, it'll feel like you've gone back in time because they have a smoking section. read more
