The area around where Usishkin Street meets Bezalel Street, the seam line between the neighborhoods of Nachlaot and Rechavia, hosts several charming cafes and restaurants catering to the neighborhoods' eclectic denizens. Included in that number is Al Dente, a tiny and cozy Italian restaurant/cafe tucked into a house-like building in a nook of Usishkin between a lock-and-key store and the parking lot of the Gerard Behar Cultural Center. You'd almost miss it if you didn't know it was there, and that would be a shame. Al Dente specializes in kosher dairy Italian cuisine, which means you'll be presented with a standard selection of salads, spaghettis, fettucines, lasagnas, focaccias, pizzas and other mainstays of the Italian culinary experience. And since Al Dente doubles as a cafe, you also have you choice of coffees and other hot beverages, which you can enjoy sitting in the comfortable interior or outside on the porch.
