Dantes Bistro Bar & Grill

Our Story

Since 1991, Dante's Bistro Bar and Grille has been committed to serving delicious, authentic Italian meals prepared with the freshest and most local ingredients. Our passion for Italian cuisine and dedication to our guests have been the foundation of our success.

Locally Sourced Products

We source our produce from numerous local organic growers and strive to bring you organically fed, locally raised meats and fish. For our ground beef and Filet Mignon, we proudly partner with George Calef's Fine Foods, a local family business right here in Barrington. This commitment to local sourcing ensures that every dish is bursting with flavor and supports our community.

Inspired by Family and Tradition

The heart of Dante's culinary philosophy lies in the vibrant Spaghetti House of Montereale ~ ValCellina, Italy, owned and operated by our dear friends, the Meneguzzi family. Many of our iconic dishes were inspired by the traditional recipes passed down through generations in their renowned establishment. Each meal served at Dante's carries the spirit of those Italian dinners - a reflection of the warm hospitality, passionate cooking, and rich culinary heritage that define the cuisine.

From Newmarket to Barrington

Our move from our beloved Newmarket location to Barrington was driven by a desire to combine Dante's with our neighboring Adagio Spa. This allowed us to keep our sons, Ariodante and Dominic, close by, creating a fulfilling family life alongside our culinary passion. Being situated just a few miles from our home makes Barrington a perfect fit for us, and we hope the convenient location on Route 125 serves our guests well.
