Dante West Village

Negroni

Dante's signature Negroni — perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, the benchmark version

Negroni (classic or variation)

Dante's signature offering — the classic Negroni and its many riffs are precisely balanced, using carefully sourced vermouths and bitters that elevate the familiar formula

Spritz

The Italian aperitivo classic, crafted with care — light, bubbly, perfect for day drinking

Aperol Spritz

A benchmark version of the Italian classic — properly proportioned with good prosecco and a generous orange garnish, served in the traditional large wine glass

Burrata

Impossibly creamy burrata, simply dressed — a perfect pairing with a Negroni

Garibaldi

Campari and freshly juiced orange juice — Dante is widely credited with popularizing this drink in the US, and their version with fluffy, just-squeezed OJ is the definitive rendition

Steak Tartare

Clean, well-seasoned raw beef tartare — a classic bistro starter

Cicchetti / Italian bar snacks

Small Italian bites designed for aperitivo-style grazing — light, salty, and perfectly calibrated to keep you drinking without filling you up

Seasonal spritz variations

Rotating spritz cocktails that incorporate seasonal ingredients and Italian liqueurs — a good way to explore beyond the Aperol standard

Pappardelle al Ragu

Wide ribbons of pasta in a rich meat ragu — satisfying Italian comfort

Dante's Burger

The signature burger — a hidden gem on the menu that regulars swear by

Steamed Mussels

Plump mussels in a fragrant broth — a solid shared starter
