I love going to Dante. Dave is absolutely awesome! I was waiting for a take out order one night and you can see how much love he puts into cooking the food. I love his food. His food is so tasty and well priced. You get a lot of food for your dollar! I highly recommend going there you will not be disappointed!

Got take out.Professional, friendly service. The Inferno white pizza is delish and just spicy enough--not too spicy. Eggplant parm was legit and absolutely yummy. The House salad is very fresh and the house made balsamic dressing is perfect! Will have to go back soon for dine in and their NEW cocktail menu! Stay tuned.

Picked up pizza and pasta a few times for kids I babysit and the food is good but they don't make it easy to order. I've placed orders for pickup over the phone before, but the last two weeks I tried calling several times and the phone just keeps ringing and no one answers. So I had to go elsewhere :( they also don't have an easy way to order online, sad to see them miss out on good business.

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!

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

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.

The best meatball I've had since my mother's. The pasta was perfect. The thin crust pizza is out of this world. We never eat the crust and we ate the crust!
We've come here every night we've been town. If I lived in Brookline I would come every day. And David is very friendly and knowledgeable. Fantastic spot.

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.

Some of the best pizza in Brookline. All of the dishes I have very much enjoyed. I recommend the lasagna, and they always have an amazing special. Service is fast and their attention to covid health risks is FANTASTIC. Outdoor dining is available but limited, but on nice days they open up the front garage door to make the whole place functionally outdoor. Amazing place, Love it

One of the best pizza places in my life. I'm from NYC and I have had so called the best pizzas in NYC area. But to me, this place is THE best. All ingredients are fresh and authentic. All the foods are made by honest and sincere minds. There is no deception in its tastes. And they really respect and care about their customers. In the second visit, the owner already remembered me. His attitudes toward customers are awesome. Simply the best.

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!

Pizzeria Dante is our "go to" party caterer for all of our events. From Pasta trays, salads, custom pizzas, kids platters, they have it all! My guests are always raving about the food! They are fabulous for eating in or takeout as well! The best house salad hands down. We always have the best meals here and the owner is amazing! Friendly, personable and so sweet. A+ all around!

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
