The location is incredibly unassuming, it's in the middle of a quaint neighborhood and can easily be missed. I was so glad my friend recommended it. The service first off was impeccable. We missed our check in time, but the host was too happy to help us and we got seated quickly. The server that took care of us could not have been nicer. She completely made it a point to check in with us and make sure we were taken care of, more than that she wouldn't let our drinks get too low. Now, the food; the appetizers were delish! We ordered the stuff mushrooms and lobster ravioli, which were both coupled with the perfect amount of garlic and butter. Our meals came out quick, hot, and delightful. I went simple with the Fettuccini Alfredo and broccoli (unfortunately, I had a rather big lunch). My friend had the Salmon Fellini and she couldn't stop raving about it. My dish was super creamy, and the pasta was cooked perfectly along with fresh florets that made the meal perfect. We ended up skipping on desert due to the amount of appetizers we ate, so we will have to come back and pick up a desert or two. Highly recommend for a special date night, or evening out with friends.

Very enjoyable time. Met with a group of friends to celebrate. Good food, good service, would definitely recommend Dino's!!!

It was a wonderful evening. My husband really enjoyed his Father's Day meal and our server Sarah was amazing. The only thing that was a bit of a downer was the little children screaming and running around and kicking the back of our booth. But that was to be expected on such a date where families were celebrating together.

It was extremely busy when I went, but I didn’t let that ruin a good time. Good restaurants tend to be busy. A long wait speaks volumes about the place. We had a reservation and were able to be seated early! Our server was overwhelmed, but understandably so, and ended up totally kicking butt.
As far as Italian food goes, this spot does it right. Nothing had that flavor of being frozen and everything was delicious. Fresh. Hot. The calamari was perfectly battered and fried, lobster ravioli came with a surprising amount of lobster meat on top!
The portion size of the main dishes were enormous - enough for lunch the next day and then some. The homemade lasagne totally blew my socks off and the meatballs and sausage were top notch. The ricotta was rich, flavorful and airy - some of the best I’ve ever had. Haddock was incredibly fresh and the green beans stole the show.
For the love of all things good, get the spumoni. Dino’s Spumoni. You must.
When the bill came, I was surprised again. Enormous portions of high-quality food at very reasonable prices. I’ll absolutely be back, and I’ll recommend it to others.
It’s tucked away and off the beaten path, in a quiet neighborhood, but it’s easily one of the best eating establishments in Worcester. Pushing 75 years of existence, I hope this place gets to 150!

Excellent food and it was a delicious way to celebrate 2 high school graduations! The arancini is amazing!

Atmosphere and ambiance was nostalgically amazing, food and service left some to be desired. Dino’s is in a class of its own, a dying breed. I hope it lasts another 60 plus yrs, Frank Sinatra on the radio and hoping to see a wise guy step out the back… everything the modern chains don’t have, class, history, grit.. God bless

The service was slow we waited a lot for our drinks and to out in our order and the longer for the food. The server was nice but it was just her for the whole section despite not being a lot of people the service was quite slow. The ambiance was cozy and noise level was good, the temperature in the place was quite warm. The food was overall ok. The tomatoes with the bread was as always delicious. Would definitely return as it is a family friendly environment.
Jennifer
Outstanding food & service. Complimentary bread with separate bruschetta topping was delicious & allowed for those who preferred butter to also enjoy it. Fried ravioli appetizer was cooked to perfection - nice & crispy outside. All entrees were good-sized portions and yummy. Only suggestion is that the fried ravioli were a serving of 7 raviolis and there were 4 of us, which meant one person could only have 1, so a serving size of 8 would be better. Definitely will return!

The restaurant was extremely crowded during our visit, and the server seemed overwhelmed, which affected the quality of service and overall attitude. Given all the positive reviews we had heard, we were a bit disappointed. That said, my family and I plan to return at a less busy time to give it another chance.

Took my wife and daughter there for Mother's Day. My in-laws came as well. The food was excellent. The staff was friendly and made sure we had a great time. Thank you Dino's Restaurant for a wonderful experience!
Great food in a welcoming, comfortable setting. Service provided by Emily was superb! Start to finish, we enjoyed our dining experience thoroughly. Mussels Bianco, Rigatoni Burrata, Stuffed Eggplant, Lava Cake, Cappuccino and Doppio Espresso! Hands down, one fantastic taste experience! Dino's never fails to satisfy!

A great hidden gem in the neighborhood for home cooked Italian dishes

Food is excellent! Wait staff was friendly and ambiance is an old school Italian restaurant

We have been coming to Dino's for many years. We have done take out for many family gatherings at our homes. There is some many items on the menu to choose from. Our favorite is the homemade cheese lasagna with meatballs. Other favorites is the eggplant and chicken parmesan with a great choice of pasta to choose from. The fish items are great as well. I don't think I can find a better Italian restaurant around.
