Dante in Ealing

Un restaurante tan especial italiano en Ealing. Y es tan triste * * que ahora se ha cerrado. No creo que el dueño nos dimos cuenta de la *muy* buena su restaurante era. Interesantemente, él no era Italiano, aunque yo sólo descubrió que en los últimos años. Siempre nos encantó visitar Dante - y ahora lamento que no vaya más a menudo. Pero mi esposa y yo ya no vivían en Ealing, y sólo nos volvimos allí en ocasiones. Ah, sí, había un montón de gente japonesa que disfrutamos de Dante - y el japonés realmente sabemos sobre comida muy buena. Quien compra la propiedad, por favor, obtener las recetas para las pizzas y pasta y ensaladas de Dante y el restaurante abierto de nuevo!

The food was very tasty, and the atmosphere was perfect for a Saturday evening. We will definitely return.

Nos alojábamos en el hotel Doubletree durante el fin de semana y mi pareja quería comer comida italiana así que busqué este lugar y reservar una mesa. Llegamos y recibimos una cálida bienvenida y como fue una noche agradable, entonces las puertas estaban abiertas que permiten que el sonido de una concurrida calle alta en la habitación, lo que nos gustó. Menú extenso y había muchas cosas para elegir. Sólo pedimos entrantes para comenzar con mi otra mitad no podía decidir qué para los platos principales. Los aperitivos estaban con rapidez y delicioso. La camarera nos ayudó mi pareja recogida su principal y cuando llegaron luego fueron sensacionales. Pasamos una noche muy bien y si volvemos a la zona, sin duda volveremos a visitar. Buena comida, personal agradable, ambiente encantador. Una gran noche.

I visited on my third evening and I should have visited earlier. I had the best fillet steak I've ever eaten! I was staying at the Hilton Doubletrees where the food is not very good. Dante is well worth a visit. Great food, great wine!

Tuvimos una noche espectacular en Dante es la noche antes de que nos casamos en Richmond. Todo el personal era muy amable y servicial, y la comida era increíble, como siempre. El tiramisú era delicioso. Hemos estado comiendo un Dante por más de 15 años. Mi abuelo y primo utilizada para visitar cada viernes y hemos usado como un restaurante para celebrar compromisos, el nacimiento de bebés y otros eventos familiares. Es un restaurante local que ha construido una reputación con los lugareños. La comida siempre es buena. No tuvimos más de 30 clientes en el restaurante la semana pasada y nos dijo que todo el mundo lo mucho que nos gustó el ambiente y la comida.

Estábamos cerca de Dante y decidimos visitar después de ver las buenas críticas. La comida estaba bien, pero no era nada especial y la pizza estaba fría. ¡No nos sentimos bienvenidos y nos sentimos como si estuviéramos en el camino como si el personal quería terminar temprano.

Visited last night with work colleagues. Staying at the Hotel at the end of the street. Ordered the fillet steak with cheese. One word - amazing!

Hemos visitado Dante en unas cuantas ocasiones durante muchos años. Ha sido abierto durante décadas! Las pizzas son, desde mi punto de vista, realmente * muy * bien - una de las mejores en Londres: finas y crujientes (pero no demasiado crujiente) y realmente deliciosa. (Aunque te proporcionan uno, no necesitas un cuchillo de juego para cortar ellos.) Nos gusta compartir una pizza y la ensalada, la cual es una gran combinación. Muy buenos aperitivos también. Probar los calamares. Tal vez el propietario podría ser un poco más amable, pero es claramente un gran restaurador. En general, muy recomendable.

Somos asiduos durante un año y nunca me ha decepcionado. Nos encantan las damas del servicio que son siempre muy dulce a nuestro hijo y no te importa "demasiado fría" jefe tocando el padre de Dios en la parte de atrás. Mejillones y pizzas son independientes.

The food was absolutely excellent, top quality. Will definitely be back on a regular basis! Had 3 courses and could eat more.

Excellent little Italian restaurant. Outstanding pizzas and delicious risotto. I strongly recommend a visit to Dante.

I had read about Dante on Tripadvisor but was not aware that it was within walking distance of the hotel. We had lunch there. I ordered a Margherita pizza and my friend had a scrumptious looking bowl of pasta with pomodoro sauce. We dined there on a Saturday and it was not that busy. Food was excellent !

Small restaurant, but with a really good choice on the menu, we arrived at 7pm and it was pretty empty, the owner (I assume) greeted us, he seems quite surly, but the 3 waitress's all seemed really nice and made it a good experience, both starters were tasty and well presented for main courses I had a fillet steak that I cooked myself on a hot stone at the table, great if you are fussy on his your steak should be cooked, my wife had ham shank, and in her words, it was so tasty and and just fell if the bone.By 8pm the place was nearly full and had a good warm atmosphere.

The food in here is absolutely beautiful with a great ambiance. I ate here twice and had Veal with a mushroom sauce and he medley of vegetables, It was to die for actually and reasonably priced at £14. I like quality and I will pay for it. My friend had the Carbonara and she was over the moon with it. Definitely worth a visit as has some thing for everyone.

I'm a regular in this restaurant, me and my partner love this place. It's a really cozy restaurant with a quiet and friendly environment. The waitress are all so nice and the food is great, try the funghi risotto! Don't expect luxury but come for a good meal out at very reasonable price.

An okay Italian at very reasonable price opposite Ealing Common underground station. The pasta was done just right but the Carbonara overall was disappointing, with very runny cream sauce that didn't blend with the pasta and bits of processed ham rather than fried ham lardons.Certainly not gourmet, but fine for a quick bite if you are hungry.Attractive décor and friendly service.

Une cuisine généreuse, des pizzas très correctes, un service attentif sans en faire trop, un cadre agréable : ce restaurant a tout pour plaire. Allez-y les yeux fermés.

行くと必ず日本人に遭遇する、駐在さんに人気のイタリアンです。ハイチェアもあり、子連れにやさしいお店です。パスタは普通に美味しくいただけます。ピザは・・・冷凍でしょうか。頼まないほうが賢明です。

On vacation we rented an apartment in the London Borough of Ealing and discovered this lovely restaurant around the corner. We enjoyed a wonderful Italian dinner, cozy atmosphere with excellent service.

This does not pretend to be a 'destination restaurant', only locals eat here. It is supposedly Italian but the owner is Eastern European and so are the charming girls who serve. When you greet them with 'bongiorno' they look blank. The decor is dark and Italianate with red tiled floor and rough white walls, and repro renaissance drawing on the walls, including some Sistine ceiling studies. The food is good. The menu is ambitiously long, but reliable with excellent pasta and sauces and thin pizzas. A new feature is a filet steak cooked on a hot stone at the table. I prefer the excellent grilled lamb chops with 'a medley' of al dente vegetables. The house wine is entirely adequate. The owner is a pleasant and amusing chap and always lets you sit where you want. I find it annoying when there are spare tables for four but the patron insists you sit on a poky table if you're a couple. If you find yourself near Ealing Common and don't want to spend silly money at the Hilton, and fancy a welcoming cosy place with a versatile menu, then this is it. The Eastern European flavour is prominent in this row of shops, there are Serbian, Macedonian and Montenegrin restaurants, a Bulgarian grocer and an Albanian barber. Acton is as diverse and inclusive as any neighbourhood in London, and on most nights you could brush up your Serbo-Croat with the diners at the next table in Dante.

We're one of the many local families who visit Dantes regularly. Do not come here for Michelin starred food and service, but do come for a good night out for an early meal when you're too tired to cook at the end of the week. Children hugely welcome, and it's good hearty food in generous portions, served very quickly. Very good value. The owner Var is a character, and I can imagine him shutting up shop early (as per some of the complaints) because they're so busy during the early evening, but he's always charming to us. We go there for all family birthdays and the touch of bringing out a small cake and candle is always appreciated. Knocks a well known chicken n' chips chain, opposite Dantes, into a cocked hat.

After reading the reviews, decided to try this restaurant and I totally regret it. The food was nice but I am shocked at the service and the owners attitude! The website and the closing time on the restaurant's door says 11pm closing but we were kicked out at 10pm. We were not asked if we wanted dessert or tea/coffee, the waitress just landed the bill on our table. We were rushed to finish our glass of wine (which I ended up leaving as couldn't drink it fast!). We asked the owner what time they close and he rudely answered 10pm. We nicely stated the website and the door says 11pm and the owner said 'Im not going to answer you' and walked away!! I am extremely upset and I can't imagine ever going back!

I held my "retirement lunch" here for 13 people. We ordered a variety of starters, pasta, pizza and salads for mains and a few deserts. Everyone enjoyed their meal and commented afterwards how good it was. The service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere for a lunchtime opening was good. It seems a great shame that I only discovered it upon my retirement. They have a very good website with lots of pictures and a virtual walkabout inside the restaurant. All for under £30 a head including drinks. Brilliant; couldn't ask for more.

Very authentic, the menu looked just like one from Italy, and the proprietor appeared to be from Italy as well. Prices were good, atmosphere was very "Italian", and food was good and served in a decent amount of time. Just a block from the Ealing Common station, very easy to walk to and from. Would definitely recommend this to anyone in the area craving good Italian food and atmosphere.

We have been regulars here for a number of years. This is our favourite Italian restaurant in Ealing.

We booked on the recommendations from other trip adviser customers. Emailed the restaurant to book and advised them it was for our children's birthdays asking if we could have a nice table. Very promptly received confirmation back from them. Typical italian restaurant with a lovely cosy atmosphere and full of diners. We were served quickly, lovely staff, lovely hot food and the house wine was very reasonable. To our surprise after we had nicely finished our mains, the lights dimmed and the manager brought over a chocoalte cake with two candles and everyone sang 'happy birthday'. What a nice gesture to say we weren't locals, It made our son's birthday as it was actually that day and our daughter's a couple of days later. Thank you Dante, we know where to come next time we visit London.

The messages/comments on their own website are clearly filtered.Theres no doubt the food is tasty, but nothing that you can't get elsewhere. But the service is terrible. Plus they advertise as closing at 11pm, but the number of times I've been turned away at 10.15 cos "we're quiet so want to go home" is ridiculous. Sometimes after a hard day, you drive a few miles to eat, thinking you still have an hour or so, and they just don't need your business

I took my daughter and two grandchildren (11 & 5) here for a pizza at the weekend. Service, though attentive, was a tad slow given that the restaurant was not busy, however the pizzas when they came were uniformly excellent, and rather larger than similarly priced pizzas served by a well-known national pizza brand that is represented elsewhere in Ealing.For a cheap, filling, meal, it's a great place to eat - we'll certainly be trying it again.

This is not a good place to eat. Uncomfortable seats and in need of a refurb. We ordered a bottle of wine. When asked if I wanted to try it, I said no, just wanted it to be cold. It was warm. The waitress just poured it anyway. We ehded up, putting ice in it. Turning to the food, we ordered Spaghetti bolognaise which was mainly spaghetti and was tasteless. Nothing good to say really.

This is our favorite restaurant. They provide us with good food and services in reasonable price almost eveytime.

After some decorating we were tired and just wanted looking after and feeding. My escalope of veal Milanese was pure comfort food. Delicious al dente spaghetti and a lovely breaded escalope. Chris had an enormous plate of tagliettelle which he really enjoyed. Pleasant efficient service, if you want traditional English/Italian food, this would be it. We came here a few years back, a couple of times, and enjoyed it then. They seem consistent over time.

Four of us went for a late night meal on Sunday night. The food was spot on and the service attentive. Just one little gripe. The restaurant closes at 10.30 on a Sunday and we were still eating at 10.15. The staff, who were laying tables for the next day, put chairs on all the surrounding tables and the owner put out the bin bags! Will I go again? Definitely for the food, but maybe a bit earlier!

We have eaten here a few times and seems to be hit and miss. We have tried a few different wines but not impressed with any of them. Food is ok but nothing special. Service is lacking, it was hard to attract attention to order and get the bill. Lots of people eat there at the weekends, maybe service is better during the week.

It looked busy but this meant little. The service was flat with no personality, the chairs uncomfortable and the table by the door in a draft. £8.95 for 4 king prawns in olive oil and garlic was just. It justified in the care taken on preparing them. Tasteless Brucheta and average main courses did not save the day. Shame as the competition did not look good and nearby Nandos was packed, they could be cleaning up, lazy London restaurant managing.

have been to this little gem of a restaurant four times over a two year period on our trips down to Ealing and can say we have never been disappointed with the quality of food or service. well worth a visit if you are in the area

While staying at Ramada Ealing, this restaurant is certainly a good option to the hotel's food. It is tasty and rather inexpensive.

The setting is cosy and respectable. The service had no thrills, just delivered without any added value. The food was lacking in any taste. We ordered two pizzas and both felt like they has been made with cheap ingredients. I only ate it because I was really hungry.

Arranged to meet a friend at Ealing Common, and my intent, given that she is Greek, was to try the Lantern Taverna. Found to my horror that it does not open Saturday lunchtime.I had previously tried to eat at Dante's a month previously but had a problem as (another) friend was on a timetable and needed a swift meal and this restaurant which I had planned did not open 15 minutes after its stated time, so we ended up at the Nando's- yuk).Arriving today and discovering that the Greek restaurant would not open on Saturday lunchtime, and realising that they claimed to close at 2 when my friend would not arrive until 1.30 I would be in trouble, but the manager reassured me.We both had grilled sardines as starter and different pasta dishes as main course. My friend commented that her pasta was beautifully al dente, and mine was also. To cut a long story short, the food was amazing, the service leisurely. Despite a very unpromising start I am more enthusiastic about this place than any I have been to in a long time. Excellent.

We've been here a few times now and it's never failed to please. Great value genuine Italian food. Especially the pizzas: crisp bases, good ingredients, and very tasty. The service has always been very friendly too. It really is a good old fashioned family ristorante in service and ambience. It just has a lovely feel about it. For wine the house red is certainly good for a few carafes. The white, you're better off going for the pinot as the house is slightly sweet.Overall, a really good meal and our favourite restaurant in Ealing.

Small place and not really trying all that hard but with tasty food and plain but pleasant red house wine. Table service came with smiles and was timely. Went back for more.

I've been going to Dante for years but must say that standards seem to be falling in the food hygiene dept- as my family always seem to get stomach upsets the day after!!

We could not believe how reasonable this was given the quality of the food! I had beautiful vongole - for £6-49 - amazing value amazing quality - cannot reccomend it enough!!

BEST PIZZA IN EALING. Service and ambience is perfect to take your family, friends or loved one's.
