Dante's Pasta Vino - Barrington

You won't find a better place, great pepole service and food. Always a favorite on Wednesday nights. If you don't feel welcomed here you may need help!

Anytime I go, I have a great meal and a cocktail made without a count if you know you know. The Carbonara is the bomb.

I'm so sad to be giving Dante's a bad review as they were so good several years ago. The stars are only for our nice server. I’d give the food zero if I could. The quality has clearly gone down the toilet. Our food was bland, greasy, and just ick. Won't be coming back ever again : The AOP had no garlic or flavor and was just drenched in oil- like a solid 3/4 cup of oil. They blacken the chicken on a grill now and burnt char flavor overtook the entire dish, disgusting. My husband got carbonara which was just a mess of soggy bacon and pancetta, no egg, no peas, no finesse- just gloppy. Like Alfredo with a ton of bacon. Even my kids wouldn't touch the red sauce which tasted like Prego. So disappointed, I used to clean my plate here!

Worst Italian food I've ever eaten. Had the carbonara, the bacon is supposed to complement the dish, not drown it.

Thanks to RYAN for our great first Dante’s experience!We came in on a whim with 8 ladies, and had no plan. Ryan was so patient with us, and his amazing sense of humor kept us laughing the whole time.We had wine (try their yummy Italian reds) and entrees- see pics. For my GF friends- they have gluten free ziti! I got it with the bolognese.Loved the decor and the vibe. Menu had great choices and didn’t break the bank. Looking forward to going again!PS Thanks Ryan! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pasta is available!
