About Al Dente

Ourselves? Not quite as much.

Al Dente — The Pasta House is a Canadian-founded premium fast-casual pasta concept created to make great pasta part of everyday life.

Our approach combines freshly prepared pasta, sauces and ingredients with the convenience of modern fast-casual dining.
