Food was terrible. Pasta was clearly from a box, sauce was watery, mushrooms from a can. They are clearly over compensating with the decor and the glassware but the food was nothing to write home about. Won’t be back. (Servers were wonderful)

Food was nice that's about it. Ordered food, went toilet and came back and starters where already on the tables. Ate that once finished was asked if we where ready for mains, asked wait 10 minutes. After about 8 minutes asked if we where ready. After food had a coffee first cup had a finger nail in it, got sent back and a new one returned, this new one then had an eye lash. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to next doors dog

The food was amazing, so lovely, and presented lovely. Just the service was the let down from my experience. The staff were quite rude and straightforward, felt quite uncomfortable at times, especially due to the constant glares. My table had ordered drinks, and my drink had came but my friend’s drink had not came until she had to tell the waitress that she had ordered a drink after the food had came to our table. I understand this can happen but the restaurant was quiet and had just recently opened for the day, and the waitresses had been standing in front of us on their phones. We ordered the £12.95 meal - two courses. But I believe that they had not put it on the receipt and it has came out a lot more expensive than it should have been, but when I wondered this, the waitress said “is there an issue? in a rude manner. At this point I was just fed up of the rudeness and wanted to leave. In the end, we just left the restaurant. I did question whether the waitress had an issue with me and my friend as she was polite to the rest of the customers in the restaurant, sad really as the food was great.

The place didn’t have Italian vibe at all. The menu didn’t seem purely Italian either and pasta wasn’t Al Dente…. The steak was good but a bit over cooked (we ordered medium rare and it was more medium than medium rare). The service however was really good! We were served by a lady called Masha, she was very professional and asked about our allergies and food preferences, she took care of serving everything fast. She would stop for a quick chat to ask if all is good etc and she really made us feel welcome! Masha found out it was my birthday and she made a surprise by bringing us a peace of a cake and the staff sang me happy birthday! It was really nice and touching! Thank you Masha 😂

Noisy atmosphere, however, just right if you like it like that. Thought it was a little on the expensive side but I suppose it is far from a greasy spoon, staff are very efficient, cheerful and courteous. Absolutely lovely.

Italy in the heart of Liverpool - is it possible? That's how it is in Al Dente. Nice place, large and spacious, with many places to eat. The service was very nice and helpful when choosing from the menu. Most importantly, delicious food that will take you to Italy in a second. I recommend

We went to lunch to celebrate my two children's birthdays. The evening was short because the service was very attentive but it felt like they were in a hurry to serve us, clean up, and get us to leave. The food was delicious 😋 and with very good portions. It is the best Mediterranean / Italian food place in Liverpool that I have ever tried.

We stopped by Al Dente for lunch while visiting family in Liverpool, and I’m so glad we did. They have a fabulous lunch menu for a great price, 2 courses for £12.95 or 3 courses for £16.95. We opted for the 2 courses and had halloumi fries and bruschetta as the appetizers and spaghetti carbonara and salt and pepper king prawns as the mains. The spaghetti carbonara and the salt and pepper king prawns were incredible! The restaurant is very beautiful, with many windows, pretty lighting and a beautiful patio with outdoors seating. I will definitely visit again!

Would like to start with the positives. The staff are lovely and the cocktails are great. Because of this I had high expectations for the food and I was so disappointed. The Caesar salad had broken up breadsticks in place of croutons, some lettuce, sauce, sprinkle of cheese and what looked like one frozen chicken breast sliced on the top. For the price of it I expected MUCH more. Also the chips aren’t homemade and weren’t cheap either. Would come again for drinks but not food. Just in response to the reply, thanks very much for taking it on board. I will take you up on that if I visit again.

Love Al Dente and as always had a fab meal and wonderful service. However, as we were celebrating a 21st birthday and were very disappointed to be placed on a long table by the kitchens and toilet. Hardly the best place to be to celebrate your 21st. We did request to be moved and the waitress was so helpful and asked but was told there were no more ables available to seat 10. Because we do like the atmosphere of the restaurant we will go again but wlll ensure we know where we will be seated when booking. Would like to say our lovely waiter was wonderful - just disappointed in whoever did the table planning

Objednala som si pizzu, nevedeli ani zavolať, že si po ňu môžem prísť. Bol problém s online objednávkou, ani sa neozvali, zistila som to až keď som si osobne prišla po pizzu. Komunikácia nula bodov.

Excellent place to go for somthing different, we really enjoyed the food and atmosphere of Maray. The prices are reasonable to. The food came out pretty quick and in no particular order, which wasn't the best as the carrots came out last after we finished everything else. I'd recommend upstairs as you get a good view of the dock, especially as it's going dark. We was a little disappointed the ox cheek wasn't available, but still enjoyed everything else.
