So glad I finally got to meet Neil and Josephine after getting this pie delivered to the pudding street job I was on last year about seven times in six weeks. A work of art. read more

Dante's Trattoria - This is, without a doubt, the best pizza within 50 miles of where I live. Seafood pizza w/ sauce, a little extra time in the oven - Pizza Near Me - Mahopac, New York

I will be honest, this restaurant is a solid 3.5, and in my opinion closer to 3 than 4, but my family insisted on 4. The interior is old-fashioned looking, with sad furniture and dying poinsettia plants on window sills (this is March). It is clean and well lit though, so that's a plus. We ordered different things for lunch and honestly the food is average. My daughter had penne ala vodka, and the sauce was bright orange, with pasta swimming in it. My husband's chicken parm was okay, he didn't enjoy the sauce that much. My daughter liked her chicken salad, and chicken tasted particularly good. I had a caprese panini and it was a bit runny and overly salty. The prices for lunch were reasonable. The service was friendly and helpful. The waitress kept checking in on us and even packed our leftovers for us. Much appreciated. This place is good if you are feeing nostalgic and want that old fashioned Italian vibe. Honestly, it is not my cup of tea, but my mother in law swears by this restaurant as it brings back memories for her. To each their own. I would not be back personally. read more

The food is fabulous and Josephine always takes care of us. My husband and I moved out of the area and still drive 30 min to enjoy delicious Italian food. read more

I was surprised to see so many low ratings for this wonderful restaurant. My experiences have only been positive. Even though I live a half hour away, I come here as often as I can, either for lunch with friends or for dinner with my wife and sometimes with other couples. We can't eat gluten, and Dante's is one of the best places we've found when it comes to having a variety of gluten-free options. Unlike some other Italian restaurants, they have gluten-free bread crumbs, so we can get fried calamari, mozzarella sticks, chicken or shrimp parmesan, and many other dishes. The service is friendly and competent. The servers take our gluten concerns seriously. The food is very good, the portions are satisfactory, and the prices, especially in our current climate where many places are charging outrageously, are fair and reasonable. If you're looking for a fancy place, this is not for you. It's a typical trattoria. It's clean and presentable, but interior decorating took a back seat to food and service, which is something I appreciate. I feel comfortable there, and I feel welcome. I recommend that locals as well as those with celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity check out this fine establishment. I think that you'll be pleased. Oh, regarding gluten-free options, you won't find any listed on the menu, but the owner as well as the staff are enormously helpful and will direct you. read more

I ordered a tray of meatballs in sauce for a party and boy did my friends enjoy them. They kept on saying, these are the best meatballs. And Yes, they were delicious. read more

Dante's is everything you'd want your go-to neighborhood spot to be. Fresh, delicious food, fair prices, and most of all, wonderful hospitality. Josephine and her staff are always warm and welcoming - there to greet you when you first walk in, making families with children feel comfortable, and always doing their best to accommodate their customers. We love their chicken parm, penne vodka, paninis, grandma slices, and garlic knots - you can't go wrong. My kids always look for Josephine's pasta fagoli, and she always seems to be ready with a bowl for them. Great place, even better people! read more

Last week I went to Dante's and ordered a patter of gluten free chicken franchise.(pardon me if that is spelled incorrectly) with gluten free pasta. The two dishes were absolutely the best Mt daughter has to keep a gluten free diet Josephine is simply amazing Great experience Thank you Henry Holden read more

My family and I went out to dinner and ordered chicken dishes and they were all horrible but the worst was the Chicken francaise so I complained to the owner and she was very unprofessional and very rude she did not want to take the food off the bill she argued with me until I finally told her no you're taking it off she is always like that the food is nothing to brag about so she really has no reason to carry on like that and from what I understand and see all the reviews it's always about her with her attitude read more

I have been to Dante's a few times and the food was always good. Tonight I ordered a sandwich and a calzone. I was bringing some food home. When the calzone arrived it was not cooked. The ricotta cheese was solid. I took a bite and it was terrible. I told the waitress that I didn't want it because it wasn't cooked and it tasted bad. She took it back. When the bill came the calzone was not taken off. I asked the waitress and she checked with the owner. She came back and said they would not take it off the bill. I didn't argue but I will tell you,I will never return to this place again. It wasn't about the $7 that I paid, it's about the owner. Very disappointing. I lost $7 and she lost a customer. read more

My family and I have been coming to Dante's since I was a little girl. The food and service has always been amazing! You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Josephine and Pasquale make you feel right at home. We love coming here. Definitely a hidden gem in Mahopac! read more

I just had another fantastic catering order! We had 7 half trays - Chicken Marsala, Chicken Franchise, Eggplant Rollatini, Sausage & Peppers in a red sauce, Penne Vodka, Farfalle Bandiera & Sautéed Mixed Veggies. I was not expecting 3 loaves of sliced bread - being sliced was a huge bonus for me. Also, I did not order Garlic Knots but they had given me a large tin. Wow!! I was pleasantly surprised and super appreciative!! My guests, who I must add are tough critics, loved their meal!! Thank you Dante's for always providing the most delicious food! read more

Consistently amazing food FOR YEARS. Everything is quality. Always look forward to coming here when I'm home from California. Such a welcoming staff. Great specials and lunch menu. Surprising how good the prices are for the portions read more

Dante's is one of the original pizza places in town and they still are simply the best! Dante's has been here since my family moved to Mahopac (about 20 years ago) and everyone we know speaks highly of this restaurant. The pizza is always great and so is the service! They have a good diverse menu of pizzas & entrees to choose from so be sure to explore a bit. The toppings are very fresh and, of course, they have the basics down to a science (aka crust, sauce, & cheese). I can also vouch for the Meatball Park Wedge, it was excellent. Keep it up, Dante's! Cheers to the next 20 years! read more

Went here on Saturday May 13th, as a party of 20, after a funeral at Yorktown Funeral Home. We went towards the back, which is their party room. Food took an awfully long time to cook, but maybe it seemed longer because we were hungry, and it was busy for mother's Day weekend. Appreciate them for accommodating us, as many other places were booked. Because we were in the party room, it was a limited menu meal- so only 3 options were listed and available. The training server gave us a hard time because he didn't know if the meal came with anything, nor explained the menu. it was also our first time here, so apologies for not knowing the menu! Other server seemed a bit nasty too, but someone in our party wanted their meal to go, and probably talked to the manager, and the server was better after that. We started with an appetizer of fried mosseralla, fried zucchini, eggplant parm, and clams. We had to ask what the food was when it first came out though. It's important because what if someone had a fish allergy and didn't want the eggplant touching it? we also got salad. I asked for my dressing on the side, and got it when it was ready, but the server was kinda nasty about it. I put my dressing on the side because sometimes there is too much dressing! the dressing was delicous though. We also were served Penne ala vodka, which was pretty good. As far as our entrees, we had a choice of chicken parm, flounder franchuze, and steak. many ordered the steak and the chicken parm. I ordered the fish, however, it would help to explain what the dish looks like, what it comes with, including any opinions like is it cheezy? i liked my fish, but it was kind of salty. i ate all of the string beans and the fish though. the potato croquet that was served was very cheezy, didn't like it, perhaps would have preffered more string beans if it was offered. Finally, we were served some pasteries like carrot cake, something that looked like an eggclair, chocolate cake, neopolitan, and some coffee. again, would have helped explaining what the food is, some is obvious but others, eh. Anyways, overall pretty good food, and maybe sometime we'd check it out again to order things from their regular menu. read more

The pizza was great, their sauce was unique and authentic. I also enjoyed the way staff treated me during my experience eating in. Down to earth people and delicious food! read more

the counter girl up front was so kind i went in here this past wednesday they seemed a little busy but were able to manage everything perfectly my food was great and full of flavor and the chicken was cooked perfectly! 10/10 recommend this!! read more

If I could give a zero I would. This restaurant is so unprofessional and upsetting. The customer service was disgracefu, all of the employees were rude to me and gave me nasty looks. A counter girl Nicole rolled her eyes multiple times and gave me the wrong order. I left with the wrong order and the food was disgusting. I do not recommend. read more

The food here is and always has been excellent. BUT I stopped there this afternoon and the woman at the cash register was not wearing her mask correctly (not covering her nose) and then a young woman walked out from the back wearing her mask completely off her face and under her chin. I asked each of them to put their masks on and they complied. But when I mentioned to the woman at the cash register, she claimed she was wearing it correctly and I had to explain how it was supposed to be worn. She said she's been wearing it for six months to protect herself and her customers. I said that's great, but it's important to be worn correctly. I also mentioned that the young woman working in the back wasn't wearing it at all. The older woman said that's because it was hot in the back. I explained that it isn't a reason not to wear it. It was an awkward exchange on all levels but I do hope they heard me. It shouldn't be the customers responsibility to enforce wearing masks. I know this is a complicated subject. I know there are different opinions on this... But when your opinion has the ability to make me sick and contaminate my food, that becomes a larger issue for me. read more

The food is great and the customer service is amazing. We had a miscommunication on a door dash order, because of special instructions and they were quick to fix it by sending an entirely new meal in a very timely fashion. read more

Just ate a couple of slices. Hands down the best pizza in the area. On top of that the service was great. I will be back. read more

Gave this place a try for delivery after a long day of working on our house and SO glad we did! Everything we ordered was delicious and they were super helpful about gluten free options on the phone. Apart from individual GF pizzas and GF penne, they have the mythical, rarely seen dream of GLUTEN FREE RAVIOLI! I got it with vodka sauce and it was so good. Definitely would reorder. My partner loved the GF chicken Francese (never seen that before) and the chicken Cobb salad way exceeded expectations. The chicken was so tender and flavorful and all the components were generous and fresh. Two happy customers! read more

Ordered delivery of Zita with meatballs and Veal Parm. Veal was delivered without pasta. I called to ask about it. Owner told me I should've indicated what kind of pasta I wanted. When I told her I used an app to order and there was no choice given, she just reiterated I should've specified pasta type and hung up. She made no effort to make it right. We order delivery a few times a week. Since they are just a mile or so from our home, we decided to try them. This will also be the last time we order from there. Our bill was $52 altogether. Too much for that poor quality. We'll go back to Eduardo's or La Villetta who both make excellent Italian food. Update: The owner called me back and offered to make things right. While a bit late, I do appreciate the gesture. I also realized that when viewing the menu, the person in the car with me that did the ordering didn't see the pasta choices. That was our fault. read more

Hi I'm a local doc here in this area however, I'm very new to this area and I ordered again the spaghetti with meat balls and it was by far the best that I have ever had! I totally recommend that you try this place! I have met the owner a couple of times and she was really professional and nice! If she reads this I would like to say thank you for welcoming me to the area... Dantes will be a local spot for me and I will use this restaurant for my clinic as well... Sincerely, Dr. M..... read more

The food and service was amazing! Would recommend this to anyone looking for home cooked Italian food. Josephine was amazing ! I also had food catered from there and had amazing praise for the food. Highly recommend. read more

Pizza was ok, but the regular food was really good. Pene vodka and chicken Frances's was on point, would def order from there again

I haven't gotten a decent chicken, Parm here, and I tried three times. I even went and talked to them about how terrible it was. I didn't want to put it online. Ate there with my girlfriend and it was ok. Tonight I gave up. I went in asking if any of the rolls came without peppers for my daughter and I was dismissed with a shrug, and then the lady behind the counter, walked away and offered nothing else. Done with them. read more

My fiancé and I order from Dante's at least once a week. Their chicken scarpariello is to die for. It is the perfect amount of spicy! My fiancé gets the chicken casalinga and cannot say enough good things about it. Their soups, salads, and desserts are all delicious as well. Definitely give them a try! read more

I have ordered a few times from Dante's especially since I work at Acme so it's very convenient for me. The first couple times I ordered a sausage, pepper and onion pie and this last time I ordered a Hawaiian pie and it was great. They are also very reasonable. Some places in Mahopac are overpriced and the quality has gone down. I definitely will be going back to Dante's. read more

The food is weak, and the service was crazy poor. The atmosphere is white hospital walls, and the room was so noisy I couldn't hear my friend speak. I will never go back! read more

This place is right across the street from my grandmas house, I just love eating here. We also had her 80th birthday party here. Great environment, great staff and fab food. I had one of the chicken specials which was very delicious can't remember the name of it but spinach and grilled chicken are always a great choice for me. We also had the mussels fradiavolo app, the sauce was so delish not to spicy but spicy enough for the taste. My grandma had the chicken francese which she loves and always enjoys. read more

Dante's has become my new go to place for everything! Their pasta is always great, dinner dishes delicious and pizza is perfect. Their burgers have no right being as good as they are coming from an Italian restaurant. The skirt steak is the best around. My only criticism is the chicken wings. They could be better but everything else has been amazing. Delivery is fast and hot. The delivery people are very nice. I couldn't recommend Dante's Trattoria more highly! 17 stars. read more

We had a private party for about 70 people on a Sunday. Management: Very accommodating and flexible when possible. We changed our party size several times but the manager worked with us and made sure we had the right space without overpaying. Food: Everything was great and the price more than reasonable for our party. Food was served in courses, everything was fresh. We had filet of sole, chicken francese and parmigiana as our entree options, all delicious! The package included salad and pasta and we ordered apps. It was great to be able to offer our guests a 4 course meal. Service: Professional and very pleasant. The staff did a great job and were particularly sweet to all of our guests. I really enjoyed this place, we already are looking to set up another party there. read more

Don't overlook this culinary gem! The staff make you feel at home. Their eggplant Parmesan is out of this world, and everything their home made pasta sauce touches is pure gold. Great value for low prices. Hands down my favorite Italian food in the neighborhood read more

I've always heard good things about Dante's restaurant, and I was not disappointed when I finally visited. The chicken Francese was among the best I've had anywhere (including on a trip throughout northern Italy). The staff was very friendly and attentive and the owners are always there to greet guests as you enter. Not many place combine a very friendly and warm atmosphere with delicious authentic food. read more

I have ordered many times over the past year and a half from here since moving to Mahopac. Their catered wedge sandwiches by the foot are to die for! The chicken one, all my guests go crazy for & I never have any left even after ordering extra!! Prices are beyond reasonable as well! The owner is a sweetheart. I would highly recommend. I have never tried any other place since because we have never been let down. read more

Got a slice it was the first slice I've had since coming back to New York. Great Pizza! Highly recommend it.

Next to the A&P on Route 6, Dante's has a big room with a pretty mural. It's owned by a family from Italy and according to my brother who's spent a lot of time in that country, many of the dishes are authentic Italian, not Italian/American (not that there's anything wrong with it!) The menu is large and the food is tasty. It's a "family restaurant" and lots of pizza is served--the dough is excellent, I buy it and take it home to make my own. If you're in that part of the world and want fresh, flavorful Italian food, you won't be disappointed Gnocchi bolognese was the best I've ever had. read more

Dantes Trattoria, Baldwin Place... these guys have messed up my delivery for the last time... For the fifth time in a row... they have screwed up our home delivery order. We called,, spoke to the owner, complained, and she agreed to send a corrected, replacement order. When the delivery person arrived, he presented me with a bill, a new check, for the corrected delivery..I asked the delivery guy to wait. closed the door, collected the original (incorrect) order, opened the door, handed the old dinner order to the delivery person and told him to tell his boss to shove them both up her ass. Enough is enough... stop ordering from these incompetent, greedy butt-heads. They don't care... they think they are the only game in town... WRONG!!!! End this business now! read more

We ordered trays of food and a big wedge. The food was bland and nothing special. Sad to say that the best thing was the huge cold cut Italian combo that we had, and I'm not even sure if they made it. We won't be going back. read more
