If you were thinking about dining at Al Dente, please prepare yourself for a hour long lunch wait and at least a hour and a half to receive your dinner. Al Dente is painfully slow with their service, which may have been a bit more palatable had the food been worth the price and wait, but I was quite disappointed with the food. I had hoped that the move to the new location would have inspired a new menu and a legitimate change in service, but it is the same Al Dente, (not a positive thing) in a new location. The lunch we had their was also absurdly priced (a plate of pasta , not home made, and some chicken cost us $16.50 after tax etc.) This place will not last the year if it does not change. Why are there no good Italian places here in Cville...some of these guys should make a trip to Richmond and eat at Mama Zu or Edo Squid....
