Club Dante

I've been twice now, both experiences were excellent. On my most recent visit I had the Ribeye Bolognese over linguine and it was truly incredible. The meat in the sauce was so tender and delicious, all perfectly topped with a sweet balsamic glaze. 10/10. The space is small, with 6 or 7 tables and about the same number of bar seats but don't let that stop you as they do both takeout and delivery 😋

Amazing addition to the neighborhood! Perfect date night spot or chill bite with friends. excellent pizza, a menu of upscale comfort classics and killer cocktails. Perfect!

Easily one of the most authentic Italian restaurants I've been to. It's an amazing spot to have the perfect meal. From the music to the drinks- Club Dante has always been a breathtaking experience. I would highly recommend this place! 10/10 service, food and staff!

The tastiest food! Everything is made fresh, the chef actually puts his heart into every dish and all the the food literally tastes amazing. It’s such a cozy spot to sit and enjoy or you can take it to go!

Delicious food and service. Homemade pasta was perfectly cooked and flavorful. Will definitely be coming back!

Hands down my favorite Italian place in Boston. Everything from the pizza to pasta to arancini - some of the best I’ve ever had. Cannot reccommend highly enough. Small business, definitely support.

This place is awesome, small interior but cozy, great atmosphere and lighting, the owner/chef was very helpful and it was a great experience. Cocktails were deliciously crafted. Food was tasty and good size servings for what you pay.

A small atmospheric with lots of character and great food! Every time I eat in or carry out I pretty much order something new and I’m never disappointed. The baked penne is particularly spectacular!

Best hole in the wall! Small place. Great mixed drinks, wine list. Very little seating , more takeout. Excellent pasta, pizza and Parmesan! Jazz Monday night . A neighborhood favorite

Truly a hole in the wall but the food and service were amazing. The owner was extremely helpful and accommodating of our questions. The eggplant Caprese was incredible. The Buratta arugula salad was delicious. The pasta is homemade and every dish was amazing. The gnocchi was perfectly cooked. Our favorite was the linguini Madonna. There is very little seating so come early if you want to eat in or just order take out.

This spot deserves awards. Chef Dave has an amazing story of resiliency and maintains an impressive menu. Crispy Eggplant Caprese busts with flavor and the scallop bacon pizza is unmatched!

Cute little spot in Brookline! The food was all good but a little pricey for a casual spot, and the service was not great, we were a little bit ignored at around 7 on a weeknight where there was only one other person eating there. I've seen that they randomly have a DJ some nights of the week which doesn't really fit the vibe in my opinion, but when they don't have it it's a cute casual spot to grab a bite.

this pizza was just OK. I thought it was slightly undercooked. The crust was in great. I think three stars is generous Pinos Pizza and rock city is far superior. I would not repeat just because they're a better choices. The menu does look great and I will try some of the pasta dishesin the

I had heard a ton a really good things about the food and especially the vodka sauce so I was super excited to try the food and it did NOT disappoint! Our server was very nice and attentive! We did go on the earlier side so it wasn't very busy but they did have good music playing and it wasn't too loud which we appreciated because we were able to chat across the table without feeling like we had to be too loud! Very excited to go back!!

This place makes great pizza. The vibe is a little strange. The night we were there they were playing techno and it seemed like it wanted to be a club, hence the name... but it's a pizza place. It's something different I guess? Overall, I'd go back. I wasn't blown away, but the pizza was great. And I think it would be really nice in the summer with the window open.

food is delicious, great retro ambiance, and the service is very friendly and accommodating!

Krispy Reviews Espresso Martini: 6 out of 10 Friendly staff and great bar open late at night

Love this place, and now they have a bar!! I have never had a disappointing bite here... Staff/family business owners are very friendly too! I was all about the pizza until I tried the pastas and sandwiches, and then my life became more complicated... Some standouts have been the spaghetti and meatballs, Italian and Cuban sandwich, and the lemon vodka gnocchi , but plenty more to try. I'm also digging the true Detroit style pizza and bar vibe so I can sit and have a drink while I enjoy the eats from the source. Mangia!

Without Fail my #1 go to spot in all of Boston -- will not be missing Dave and club (formerly pizzeria) Dante any time I visit Boston. What more could you ask for? Food is 10/10 and the environment, energy snd time is jsut as if you are enjoying yourself at home. Goated.

Great pizza, great pasta, and great atmosphere. You can tell that heart is put into each dish. The dough on the pizza was light and crispy with fresh toppings. The bolognese had a rich meaty flavor. The famous onion rings are really tasty. Definitely recommend them with ranch dressing.@ The decor is inviting and sets a great atmosphere. The owner and his mom make it feel like you're eating in their home. As someone who was visiting from California, it was such a pleasure to find this place.

Excellent because good sized martini. Friendly place. Customers friendly. I'll be back.

Cute and cozy place in Brookline with great portions of pasta and pizza. Quite the gastronomic experience. Martinis were strong though, forewarning. I recommend the pasta dishes. The people work hard for a small spot and small staff, attention and service was also great. Loved the experience here!

This little place is a gem. The food is wonderful, freshly prepared from scratch and beautifully presented. I had chicken francese which was buttery, lemony , subtle and complex flavors I rarely finish a full meal but kept taking " just one more bite".. My husband had the chicken Marsala, also wonderfully tasty. We were pleased the owner came over to greet us, as we had not been in for awhile. The bartender was terrific, and the drinks were great. This is a great place to sit and enjoy a drlink and the street scene outdoors. You won't get your food in a hurry, because each dish is carefully prepared; no fast food here, definitely worth the wait. Club Dante could become our new go- to place. ( can you tell that we liked it?)

I ordered two slices of pizza from here. The slices of pizza tasted old, almost like they were cooked and reheated several times. My pizza was also burnt. The location is really great, and the service was good. Perhaps, my two slices were just a fluke?

All lasagna lovers - this is the place to be! Especially, the vegetarian ones. It is difficult (note: almost impossible) to find lasagna without meat in restaurants. Not to worry, Pizzeria Dante to the rescue. They make delicious meatless lasagna. It's layers of pasta sheets smothered in marinara sauce and cheesy goodness - almost perfectly seasoned (the marinara can be a little tart). It comes with a side of bread. It is delicious too! I always request a little extra to soak up all the marinara while I clean my plate. If you don't have a hearty appetite, you'll easily be able to share the lasagna or at least have some leftover. I have not eaten in the restaurant, it's always been takeout. I'm talking one star off because I haven't tasted anything else off their menu. And I don't know if I ever will because whenever I think of ordering from here, I cannot resist the lasagna! Also, if you order online on their website, you get 10% off your first order.

If you're a lover for Margarita Pizza and want to feel like a VIP this is the place to go! Dave and his staff are so friendly and really go above and beyond to make you feel good and the food is unbelievable! It's honestly thee ideal place for any occasion. The inside is gorgeous and not only is the place so different from everywhere else, it makes you want to take photos for the gram! The white Chocolate Martini tastes like a night on a roof top in Nantucket! Definitely more then 5 stars this place sets the bar higher!

The pizza was alright, slightly doughy, not much flavor, not bad though. I placed an order for pick- up over the phone and was told 25 min, I got there right on time and there was only 1 customer there. It was clear they forgot about my order so they started on it right away and I waited another 15ish minutes- it happens, the workers were friendly at least, but might have to give it another try, hopefully it was just a one off!

This quaint spot in Brookline is a must try! The atmosphere, ambiance, bar, is all 5/5. Chef Dave makes you feel like you're having a meal in the comfort of your own kitchen! Be sure to try a few cocktails and the caesar salad is a must get. The dressing is delicious! Will definitely go back. Thanks again.

This place is very disappointing. Ordered some pasta dishes for takeout. The prices suggest this will be a high quality, authentic seeming/tasting pasta dish. Olive Garden blows this place away at half the price. Ribeye bolognese was just tough over cooked chunks of steak mixed into a bland tomato sauce. Seafood scampi was swimming in butter, which was the only flavor of the dish.

This experience was a little weird, but then again I've only been here once and I am shy. I came at night to get some drinks and late night pizza, the drinks were not very good (just super strong tasting) but if you're into that, this is your place! The cocktails also weren't TOO pricy, about $11-$15 ish if I remember correctly. The atmosphere was different from how I expected. Small place, lots of people were there. They had to move tables and chairs outside to make enough room for everyone standing around this small DJ set up. I didn't vibe with this at all, but I could see how more social people would (I just wanted to chill). The pizza however, was so good. I am not picky, but this is my favorite pizza I've had so far in the general area of Allston/Coolidge (I've had nothing in Brighton!). I had a white sauce pizza. The girls next to me said their pasta was to die for. You could tell the guy running the place knew what he was doing, how to run a business, how to make good pizza and pasta, and was trying to get better at bartending for the night. He was wicked nice and I will be coming back just for pizza during the day.

Food is so delicious! You can tell it's so fresh and made with love. We got the meatball app, eggplant caprese, rigatoni limone anda pizza. Yum!

I've tried Dante's twice. The first time we got a pepperoni pizza. It was okay, but not great. The crust was so thin that the grease soaked through. They put aluminum foil between the pizza and the pizza box to catch the grease. Maybe improve your recipe if you're finding that's it's necessary to do that? The flavor was okay, but not particularly good. I definitely prefer Regina's (or those $1 slices you can get in NYC). The next time I tried a cheesesteak. I lived in Philly for 6 years, so know a good cheesesteak. This was not it. Instead of using the traditional thinly sliced steak, they used thicker steak, which they overcooked significantly. Why not use traditional Philly steak meat (which is cheaper...) and cook it correctly? It will cook quicker over high heat, so the outside won't get charred. They also did not put nearly enough cheese and put on way too much onion. Both my husband and I thought the sandwich tasted like charred steak and onion. Not what you want. You can find better cheesesteaks from food trucks in Philly for $5 or $6. This was over $13.

Deviating from our go-to (and next door) pizza place, The Boy and I decided to give Dante a try. We ordered a chicken parm appetizer. The chicken parm was seriously unreal, each but was bready, cheesy goodness. Since we love spicy foods, we decided to give the Inferno Pizza a try. This white pizza features bacon, jalapeno & cherry peppers, mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Overall, the pizza texture itself is great, not too soft as I've grown to find Boston pizza tends to be. This pizza ran a little salty to me though and the jalapenos were mild; the cherry peppers - not exactly evenly distributed are what brought the bursts of spice. Would definitely order from Dante again, if not for the chicken parm but also they have some pretty appealing sandwiches too.

This place just rebranded and is f**king delicious. Best pizza in the Allston-Britton area by far. I'm from NYC and holy sh*t. The owner is supper nice as well. They are opening another location down the street apparently. Graffiti pizza?

Just happened upon this restaurant when I was getting donuts from Union Square Donuts, just down the way. It was pretty early but the restaurant was so cute and the pizza smelled so good we decided to get an early dinner - so glad we did! We got the chicken bacon ranch pizza. I highly recommend it. I love dipping pizza in ranch, so this was the perfect pizza for me. You can't go wrong with this flavor combo! The restaurant seems more like a takeout/delivery place, but I recommend eating there! The restaurant itself is small and cozy with a great aesthetic complete with marble-y tables and decorations fitting for an Italian restaurant. There's a counter facing the street, and it seems like they leave the large window open on warm days so I can see it being a nice summer spot to grab a bite to eat.

The fun place open till 1 AM the tomato sauce is fabulous. The clientele are very nice friendly. I am getting a spinach calzone and I'll give you a rating after I try it I'm so excited it has a window that rolls up in the front so you're like in California style here. Open air to the front and large couch seat and some tables out front.

Cute spot with an amazing chef that puts his heart and effort into making every dish amazing. There are a lot of options and good for vegetarians especially the eggplant parm! Everything is made fresh and so tasty can't wait to go back!

The best chicken Parm, I've ever had the chicken was moist and tender, and a generous porch ion this place is a hidden gem I definitely will be back!

Very attentive and friendly service. Food was excellent and tastes homemade. Also very electic artwork and pleasing atmosphere and ambiance.

We've been going to club Dante for 10 years since it was called dantes pizzeria. Dave, the owner has really turned it up several notches. Reppretty much get our pizza from there every Friday night but the last few weeks I've been getting some positive dishes and dining in. His Bolognese is phenomenal and last night I had a dish that I can't remember the name of but it was squid ink pasta with scallops, a lemon cream sauce and some pesto. It was out of this world. Of course the pizzas are great too and if you get the chance to sit down and hang out for a while I highly recommend it.

Nice place good thin crust pizza and excellent drinks clean and bright and open till one o'clock

What a delightful surprise this spot was! Great service, cocktails and food...will definitely go back

Came back to Boston from California just to eat at Dante's!!!! The very best! Found Dante's over 10 years ago. David and his Father, Dante, welcomed us like family. We only wish we could get to Boston more often so we could eat here. We have brought family and friends and everyone thinks it's one of the best restaurants ever! You will love everything on the menu. If you want something different they will create it. You will be so glad you came to Dante's. Oh, and great specialty cocktails too!

Pizzeria Dante (now called Club Dante) looks small at first, but the place has a huge menu. I'm never sat on comfortable island bar stools, but the white leather ones in there were exceptionally roomy and perfect. I had the arugula salad with steak. The greens were fresh and it had extras like goat cheese and nuts and homemade dressing. I also had chicken wings, which were amazingly crisp and juicy. The glass of Malbec I had was as good as any I've enjoyed in fancy restaurants at twice the price. The real shock was the bathroom. No one expects much from a family-run restaurant bathroom, right? I stepped into Italy in the 1960s with black walls and classic Italian Goddesses, and handsome men with slicked-back hair and excellent suits covering one entire wall! It was clean, too! It was filled with locals, except a guy who asked for a slice, and came back for a second. Being gluten-intolerant (darn, darn!), I can't comment, but he seemed to enjoy it. It looked fantastic. Pizza, a full bar, gorgeous Italian food, comfortable seating, and an interesting bathroom worth the trip. What's not to like?

This place looks like it was transported from Brooklyn to Brookline. The owner/chef is a one-man army and despite a busy night, made everyone feel welcome and at home. The food was out of this world delicious. Everything was made from scratch and the attention to detail really shines through in everything we ordered. Also, he makes a solid cocktail too. Don't let the small size fool you, this place it top notch. Had an absolutely wonderful time and I'm looking forward to going back.

I was glad that I stopped by there. At first I called to make some orders. Then I arrived little bit early and took long bit of waiting. I was impressed with the manager of this pizza place, took his time to come and apologized for misunderstood my order. So they gave me free salad and a free pizza (that was mistake). I took home with good ones and our family was impressed the taste of pizzas. Thanks manager for being integrity.

We ordered a pizza and we were told to wait 45 mins. After an hour, we call to follow up and they say someone already signed for it. I let them know that the someone was certainly not me. After 5 mins of back and forth the--what I can assume to be--manager gets on the phone and tries to convince me that I never called. They have no record of me placing an order. Someone there took my credit card info over the phone. "So a large 'roney and a Diet Coke; 45 mins." We all make mistakes but to try to tell a customer that they "never called" and "you have the wrong restaurant buddy" is awful.. if I can check my call history to verify that I called them at a specific time than they can take four seconds to check their caller ID as well. The nerve to tell a customer that they "never called"...how about exhausting all options on your end to find out who made an error instead of insisting to a customer that they "have the wrong restaurant". Good pizza but, in this case, glaringly poor management.

Authentic Place . Amazing Food. Great Prices When I first visited Boston, I excitedly went to the North end and I left feeling I had fallen in a tourist trap. Then when I permanently moved, I continue to give it second and third and even fourth tries out of my love for Italian food. I always had a great time, but the food was never memorable. This wonderful little place on the other hand has REAL Italian food and all the charm of a small neighborhood. You will be welcomed with warmth and they will fill your bellies until you feel like rolling home (their "small plates " are not small, which I love ). Also if you live near the area they offer delivery at a WAY MORE AFFORDABLE price then UBER EATS, you only need to call them. This to me shows that they are a business that cares and values their customers during a time when pandemic has limited the eating out experience. I will continue to go and I totally recommend everyone to try it.

Good, solid, reliable pizza. I've gotten delivery from this place 4-5 times now and every time it's been spot on. The food has always arrived hot and in ~45 minutes. The delivery is 5 stars every time (plus the drivers are always in good spirits). I would knock it down a star because the food is consistently good, but not great. The salads are good and fresh, the mozzarella sticks are very greasy and pretty average, and my only complaint for the pizza is that it's a bit chewy/tough (I would prefer it a bit crispier, but hey, that's me). But after trying delivery from most of the other pizza joints around me, this is the only place that I go back to.

Meh. Pizza got here fast and it didn't give me heartburn. Tasted ok, but the experience was marred by a soggy crust

I have been looking for a good pizza place in Boston for years and finally found it. I just got the pepperoni and cheese and it was delicious. Looking forward to trying the others.

We just had another great takeout meal from Dave and family at Club Dante. I had the chicken pesto sandwich and my wife had the Marsala. She said that this was o e of the best Marsala meals that she has had in a very very long time. She considers herself a Marsala connoisseur. Go get your food from here!!! Get a drink while you wait!!

A few issues and thoughts i need to share... first I ordered at 8 pm and the delivery cane at 9:45! I called the restaurant around 9:15 and the women unconvincingly told me they were working on it now. It sounded more like they forgot the order and had to start it then. On to the food, the pizza was edible (thank god) but not good. I'm disappointed with the experience and the quality. For that reason i gave a 2

Saw they were offering 2 slices and a drink for $5.50, so I decided to get a whole meal along with it! The slices themselves were delicious, perfectly cooked cheese with spices and a fluffy crust. We also got the chicken parm with penne and baked chicken ziti- the large parm was enough for 2 whole dinners and amazing, but the ziti was more like Alfredo topped penne with some chicken chunks. Overall a great price and yummy take out meal!

Great veg pizza. This is always my go-to the night before a big trip - easy no-cooking dinner and then take the leftovers on the plane. Dante's slices have travelled all over the map with me and saved me from airline food many times. However as others have pointed out in the reviews here, there's something really bizarre going on with the staff of this place. Very spacey, distant, and unapologetic about things like late or forgotten orders. Only happened to me once though. Still would recommend.

Horrible service. I called for delivery, ready to order. I inquired about the price of a pepperoni/sausage pizza. The lady asked me what size. I said, "I am not sure, what are the prices of them". Instead of just telling me she, again demanded to know the size. I replied, "O would like to know the prices of all your sizes". She said, "I will tell.you the price of a large." She told me $21. After an awkward silence, I asked, "Can I have the price of a small too please". With irritation in her voice, she told me. Then, immediately, before I could choose and order, said, "Whe you know what you want call back". And hung up on me. WOW. No pizza is that good, that a new customer deserves that.

Called having a few questions and the staff was so welcoming, and the food was so yummy. Def coming back!
