==Description==
'''Al Dente's''' is an Italian restaurant chain advertised in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. The restaurant has several locations around the city, but the player cannot visit any location. Al Dente's slogan is "All the mamma mia you can eat" and serves "authentic" (heavily processed and deep-frozen) Italian cuisine the American way with large portions that are "tasteless and unhealthy". The restaurant is likely a spoof of the [[wp:Olive Garden|Olive Garden]] as both companies use a green colored cursive script and a symbolism of Italian cuisine in their logos. It could also be a spoof of [http://www.alfresco-restaurant.co.uk/ Al Fresco's] as both companys are Italian. A man in a radio commercial states that Al Dente's restaurants are conveniently located near strip malls, much like any real-life casual dining chain.
