From Boston to the Beaches
When Mounsif and Christine Ghninou relocated to Florida, they brought more than just their love for sunshine. They brought the savory flavors of Boston’s famed North End. With decades of culinary experience and accolades to his name, Chef Mounsif founded Al Dente’s Ristorante Italiano as a tribute to authentic Italian cooking.
Chef Mounsif is no stranger to recognition, having earned top honors on a national independent survey’s “Best of the Best” list for Italian cuisine, not just once, but five times. His passion for traditional flavors, fresh ingredients, and modern presentation makes Al Dente’s a standout in the local dining scene.
