Solid restaurant that's been around for ages. My parents love it because it's bring-your-own-wine. The pizza is a go-to. Pasta is made on-site.

Wow what great warm crusty bread, nearly filled up on it. Had the lunch special menu with a choice of salad or soup. I took the soup, tomato and lintels. Very good, not too salty.
As the main course, I had the Fazzoletti Con Arragosta. It's a GIANT pasta filled with lobster and ricotta cheese in a rose sauce. When I mean giant...think two lasagna strips folded over and closed. A bit too much sauce for my taste, but people who love tons of sauce would adore this. Skimped a bit on the lobster, tasted more cheese than lobster.
They advertise fresh pasta, it was definitely fresh pasta...cooked perfectly, just like the restaurant name "Al Dente" :) Would give it 4 stars if they had put a bit more lobster and didn't put so much sauce on it, but that's personal taste (sauce amount).
Would eat at this place again and try something else with less sauce in it. Tough to find parking sometimes because it is on Monkland, to find free parking, go on a side street off Monkland. Easy to miss the sign for the restaurant since it's "slightly below ground level". -

I went to Al Dente with my boyfriend and his parents because one of our friends told us it was excellent. I ordered the Risotto Primavera and was disappointed because it lacked flavor. My boyfriend had a different type of Risotto and I tried that to see if it was better but it wasn't.
will go back to try the pizza, because I think that might be better. -

NDG family restaurant packed to the brim with kids and aunts and uncles and such. The terrace out front is ground level with the street and has a very chatty neighbourhood feel. We made a reservation two days before and were seated with our chairs partially obstructing the hallway the waiters were using for taking orders out of the kitchen. The food was fine, fresh, very hot, quite tasty, not spectacular. The bathroom did not scream 'clean.' The waiter we had was amazingly prompt, attentive and friendly; and I was surprised to notice the owner of a great Montreal lunch place here having dinner with his entire family. Overall, if I lived in the area I'd probably find myself coming back, but I don't think I'd go out of my way to bring people here to eat if it was their first time in town.
