What locals are saying . . .

Dante is a landmark. It originally opened in 1915 and even in 2019 remains one of the top bars. The cafe has undergone significant transformation and has some relatively new owners. Its historical integrity and sense of community remain firmly intact but now complemented by an elevated selection of modern Italian cuisine, world-class cocktails, and an award-winning bar program.
