THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Osteria Dante Restaurant Review:

The front wall is a pair of glass-paneled French doors that open onto a dining patio with tables shaded by market umbrellas. Potted plants add color and separate diners from pedestrian traffic. Inside, a softly-colored mural of Venetian canals sets the mood. Whether seated indoors or out, diners enjoy the best that the restaurant has to offer which unfortunately is not the food, but the ambience. The fare is Mediterranean but is a pale shadow of that vibrant and colorful cuisine. The simplest dishes are the best and there are several worth trying. Select from the list of homemade pastas, or fresh pizzas. An especially winning seafood entrée is the sea scallops grilled with aromatic herbs and served over couscous. Service is friendly but not polished, which is an important point to remember if there is somewhere you need to be at an appointed time after dinner.
