Bar Dante Alighieri

We stumbled upon this fabulous place while staying in Radda in Chianti, and now that we are back home in the USA, we dream of it every single day. The owners and staff are so incredibly kind and welcoming, so as soon as you walk in, you are greeted like family. The first night we dined here, we couldn't believe our great luck. It was so delicious we returned early the next morning for coffee, a sandwich for my husband and a pastry for me. The same thing for the next morning. The appetizers of bruschetta alone could have been a meal, but I had the mushroom lasagna ... best ever; my husband had a chicken dish. The food was so mouth-watering that it pains me to write about it now that we are so far away. Our wine was so yummy that we bought some to have shipped to us. We are planning a return trip to Tuscany, JUST TO EAT HERE AGAIN! You will love it! Don't miss out on this wonderful place, with such wonderful people.

We visited Bar Dante quite a few times during our week long stay in Radda in Chianti. The owners work long hours and we have really enjoyed their service and visiting with them! All the food has been really good, but do try the cinghiale ragu, and ask for the cheesecake! Great ingredients, great service, great mix of tourists and locals.

We went last night as a group of 4, and it was a great experience. We were able to be seated quickly and a server came up to us very quickly. They have a nice mix of dishes to choose from on the menu, different types of pastas, salads and meat dishes. Our server did a lovely job. He was kind, funny, and was great at explaining anything we did not fully understand. They also serve great wine that is straight from the region of Tuscany. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area.

Great food and wine for good prices. The owners give every guest the attention they prefer. Would recommend! Many guest that stay for a few days in town keep coming back, that always tells a lot!

We've enjoyed a very pleasant dinner at Bar Dante Alighieri! The staff was very enthusiastic and willing to help us quickly and professional. The risotto, lasagne, and fitting Barlettaio wine were amazing. Thank you for having us. We would certainly recommend this to anyone!

Claudio and his wife are outstanding! Their restaurant is a beacon to all who come whether locals or like us visiting. This was our 3rd time there and could not have had a better experience. The pasta dish with a delicious sausage was amazing. He also recommended the best bottle of crisp refreshing white wine perfect for the hot day. I highly recommend stopping here for a warm and welcoming time, wonderful home cooked meals and great atmosphere. Bruce and Amy 2025 Seattle, WA

We enjoyed cannelloni and pasta of the day with local wines. Service was warm-hearted, location is great (if you do not mind occasional cars and motorbikes driving by) and we appreciated the small information details of the wines. Hats off to the Italian cheesecake as dessert! Best cheesecake we've had. Highly recommend!

Excellent food, friendly, fast service! We have been coming to Bar Dante for over 15 years, and now with new owners we just visited with a party of about 20 people. The food was incredible, and they catered for all of us so well and efficiently, Bar Dante is better than ever!

Stumbled into this place due to our first choice closed down on us -- but we were happy as DANTE delivers good food and service. Thanks to our English server Caroline! I had a Panini and the g/f loved her Tuscan Bean Soup. For desert, loved the Tiramisu and Apple Cake (Yes, we got two deserts). Nice patio too.

We drove from panzano and interested to go to pizza pie next door which was closed. Bar Dante seemed to have a good crowd and we decided to get dinner there. The food was so so good - their bruschetta platter and eggplant parmigiana was phenomenal. Also for their house wine and can't go wrong in Chianti. One star less only because the caramel tart desert was meh! Stop by for a good light dinner when in Radda!

Great lunch with some classic Italian entrees. Great outdoor seating! The eggplant parmigiana was amazing.

Unbelievable food. Stayed in town for three days and came here here probably 5 times. Best is the Bruschetta in the world. Coffee was traditional. Loved the pasta. Atmosphere was great as it looks over the town. Ask for the owners book it will add to your trip.

This restaurant is quaint with beautiful flower boxes. It is not fancy but the food and service were terrific. We stumbled upon it for lunch as we were staying near Radda. The eggplant parmigiana was the best of any we had anywhere. The prosciutto and buratta were so fresh. Specials are incredible. We are food lovers and went back twice because the food was so good. Sandwiches and pastas, especially anything they have on special for the day were fantastic. Highly recommend Bar Dante.

We stayed at Relais Vignale hotel which is just steps away from Bar Dante. This little cute restaurant has the absolute best bruschetta we have ever had!!! So yummy! Also there parpadelle Pasta with wild pig was amazing. The service was also great and homey. Highly recommend for lunch!

This place is awesome for lunch or dinner! I have come 3 times since visiting! The bruschetta is my fav! Also the tiramisu I had it twice :) the staff are so nice and helpful!

We went there for a quick lunch. Really enjoyed the food and also their friendly service. We will be back in case we are around.

Great place with lots of good options. We stayed at Il Borgo di Vescine down the road from Radda and came in for dinner on a Sunday. Happy to see this was open and bustling. Ordered pasta and pizza and everyone loved their food. They ran out of tiramisu before we could order but it's supposed to be quite good there.
