On a very busy Saturday night in North End, I was looking for a place to grab dinner, walked right in and was told to have a seat!
The restaurant itself is pretty small, it's also almost a fast food spot, since you have to go up the counter to order once you're ready. I ended getting a lobster ravioli and a Sicilian Steak with cheese.
Both came to the table super quick, within less than 10 minutes seemingly. The sandwiches are huge (16 inches) and the ravioli was pretty good, rich creamy sauce. Overall, I really enjoyed eating here and the prices are affordable! I definitely recommend stopping in for a casual bite.
Only thing is that it gets a bit cramped here with people having to move slightly aside to go to their tables.

It's a very small Cafe inside. There was a sharp, unpleasant odor. I asked for cheese and a steak. The steak had a bad smell like it was ruined. The cheese was not there. And there was only a cashier. If you have any questions, the cashier wasn't helpful at all.

Whatever we asked for she said sorry we don't have. We asked for ketchup, they had tomato sauce but she didn't offer. We asked for adding tomato or lettuce to just cheese and steak sandwich she said, sorry we cannot make it now. They mostly offer some complimentary if you don't like something or offer adding them as a side! She literally didn't know anything!
Nice, warm, small business, homey-feel, family-owned restaurant to eat at. The dining area was small, could maybe fit 15-20 people at once, but the walls were lined with pictures of the family that owns the business, gives you more comfort to be dining there knowing that the food is authentic. We ordered spaghetti, ravioli, and ziti. I ate my food before taking a picture hence the missing ravioli. It was so good. They have a wide selection of pastas and sauces, and they all were amazing! Food came out fast too. Good price for the portion you received. Amazing staff that checks on you throughout your dining. I would recommend eating here for those craving Italian food in the Boston area.

Dino's Cafe is a hidden gem you need to seek out amidst the sea of Italian restaurants in Boston. This little spot offers an experience that goes far beyond just good food. It delivers a true taste of authentic Italian hospitality.
The menu here is simple but perfect. The pastas and sandwiches are authentically prepared, fresh, and bursting with flavor. What makes this place even more incredible is the very reasonable pricing. You are getting genuine Italian food without breaking the bank.
The heart of Dino's is its staff, especially the owner. He is incredibly polite, funny, and genuinely makes you feel comfortable, as if you have walked into his own home kitchen. The hospitality is warm, welcoming, and memorable. The other staff members are equally welcoming and attentive, ensuring every guest feels valued.
We visited on a very busy weekend evening, yet the premises were kept neat and clean. Dino's is small. There are only about 6 or 7 tables inside, so if you visit during peak dinner or lunch hours, you should anticipate a wait time. Don't miss this place.
