loved my treats My cannoli was so yummy we made a quick run down(from the upper east side) the next day for another. My husband ordered pumpkin gelato and that was fabulous as well. Read More On CitysearchEMM42 10/12/2009

An after dinner treat. A bit pricey compared to what you would find on Arthur Ave, but Caffe Dante boasts friendly service, a variety of Italian desserts (including cakes imported from Italy), and a convenient SoHo location. The chocolate mousse cake was rich and smooth, but the chocolate mousse by itself was another matter, lumpy - a sign of error in preparation. Despite that, a solid choice for coffee, conversation a... Read More On CitysearchLisaGH 10/9/2009
Classic cafe survives This classic cafe that survives changing village. I'd get there before it goes the way of the Figaro. Service not great as you are paying for image but the pastries and coffee are delicious. Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 11/11/2008

Very elegant establishment when you walk in you think that you should have made a reservation but the staff here are great. They are Italian and the food here is excellent and the wine selection is the best. At the end of dinner you can have a nice espresso or a wonderful cream filled dessert, your choice.

Best Coffee House in Manhattan. I knew Cafe Dante since 1992, when I first moved in NYC (I am an Asian guy who lived in NYC) It's the greatest l'il Italian Cafe I've ever visit. The barista knew well what they are doing with coffee and coffee machine. Cakes are outstanding. Especially their Tiramisu. Oulala!!!! The new l'il resto next to this cafe? I've never been there tho. The waitresses are very nice and friendly. Read More On Citysearchsitigun 9/6/2007
My favorite Italian restaurant in NYC. Great food, great gelato, great service. And I don't know if she still works there but there used to be a Brazilian lady who worked there who was as pretty as they come. There's no better dinner value in NYC. For the quality of the food, the price is outstanding. Read More On Citysearchdoyliemon 3/30/2007
Delicious food. 'Cafe Dante' is a bit of a misnomer. The cafe exists, but it is only one part of the restaurant. The other part is a nice Italian restaurant. It is quiet, romantic, and offers delicious food. My friend ordered spaghetti, and I ordered the Chicken. The food was excellent and the portions were hearty. Best of all, the price for two came out to $35 without liquor. That's quite a bargain given the qu... Read More On Citysearchmr_meursault 6/14/2005
Completely captures the essence of Italy The mere fact that they didn't serve American coffee is enough for a standing ovation. If you are going to be traditional you might as well go all the way! The waitresses & bartenders speak Italian to one another, the menu is identical to what you'd see in any small town in Italy & the deserts & cafes are phenomenal. This place is a perfect stop after a dinner in SoHo. The one knock is that the r... Read More On Citysearchchris_malone 5/22/2005
excellent village italian maybe some will confuse the cozy little coffee-and-cake cafe for the restaurant next door (both owned by the same good owners), but dante is so much more than just a sweet little coffee place. its authentic italian food rivals much more expensive and celebrity-ridden joints (da silvano's food is nothing compared to dante's, but yes, you won't see de niro here...his loss.)

Terrible Service-Rude Manager The coffee was ok but was taken from us before we had a chance to finish.
They were in a rush to get rid of us and when I asked for an explanation I received the rudest response from the manager himself.
Even though I was a regular I would never set foot there again.I'd rather give my monet elsewhere. Read More On Citysearchpararap75 1/21/2003
8 For scrumptious, authentic gelato, Caffee Dante is the only place in NY to go. Read More On CitysearchAmyAxelrod 8/8/2002
