Al Dente was a bit inconsistent. My whole evening I was tottering between rating it a 3 and a 4. The service was attentive and yummy appetizers (order the mushroom) arrived promptly = 4. Entrees take FOREVER and server's jokes are no longer funny = 3. Generous portion of creamy pasta = 3.5. Server forgets 1 order of dessert = 2. When dessert arrives, it is heavenly (chocolate cake) = 4. Prices are very reasonable for Vegas (~$12/13 for pastas) = 4.5.
So there you have it. Wait, I really didn't like the dim lighting; maybe I should take off for that. Oh what the heck, I felt classy and didn't have to pay up the nose for it. I'll take that.
