dante or il casale?

Birthday dinner on Monday-decided I love il casale and had a wonderful (and wonderfully priced!) meal a few months ago. I love the selection and the atmosphere. I still talk about the crusty bread and the amazing olive oil oh and dont even get me started on the gnocchi's with pistachio pesto.
Amazing light fluffy pillows...I said dont get me started.
Well, I just found out the sister restaurant is Dante, on the water in cambridge. The menu has a little more selection.
yelp reviews were not as friendly about dante as they were il casale.
I like the idea that dante is a little different and its on the water (not sure the weather will hold out tomorrow night).
What to do, what to do....
