Let me start off my saying they don’t even deserve 1 star—Dining at Dino’s Villa Mare was truly one of the worst restaurant experiences we’ve ever had. From the start, we waited over 45 minutes just to have someone take our order, and didn’t receive our food until 9:55 PM — despite being seated around 8:00 PM.
When we calmly brought up the excessive delay and asked if some sort of discount could be considered, my cousin tried to handle it respectfully. Instead of addressing the concern with basic professionalism, one of the owners — who I assume is the wife — came out of nowhere and started yelling directly in my cousin’s face. Naturally, my cousin responded — and honestly, her reaction was completely justified.
Then, what seemed to be the husband, also an owner, came from behind the counter with an aggressive, confrontational demeanor, puffing out his chest like he was ready to fight. He got in her face and even pulled on the door she was holding in an attempt to intimidate her — a level of aggression that was completely uncalled for.
To make matters worse, this all seemed to be entertainment for them — the owners were laughing, and even a table of customers joined in like it was some high school spectacle.
What really stood out was that right before we received our bill, the male owner was seen arguing with two men, and his tone and demeanor were completely different — far more controlled and respectful. The contrast was glaring and added to how uncomfortable and disrespected we felt. & Yes the cops were called.
At no point did we imply we wouldn’t pay the bill — we simply voiced valid concerns. Instead of customer service, we were met with hostility, intimidation, and mockery. The owner is absolutely disguting as he also called my cousin fat & ugly.
Oh — and the food? NASTYYY. After all the waiting and stress, it wasn’t even remotely worth it.
Avoid this place at all costs. No one deserves to be treated the way we were. The behavior of the owners was not only unprofessional — it was disgusting.

Good rest stop if bakery on the Corner is not open. Pastrami was enormous and on point! A bit pricey at $19.50 for area deli, but size is good for 2.Fast & courteous service. Not many spots open here on Sunday. Enjoyed coffee outside at table with 5 other cyclists. Is it worth the trip? That all depends if you need to refuel or not ?

This restaurant isn't in a busy location but draws alot of locals. And I found out why! Server, Jackie, is attentive, friendly and knowledgable. And she makes amazing martinis!
The Insalata Tri Colore salad was colorful, crisp & beautifully balanced. All dressings are made on hand and are yummy! No aftertaste of fillers.
Their Gluten Free pizza with pepperoni was fresh & delicious.
A must try!

This place is great!, the staff is also really friendly. You can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is pretty good, some italian classics and some twists, and for their prices it’s 100% worth it.
I always recommend this place to my friends.
We’ve ordered their catering menu numerous times for events we’ve had at our house and every time it’s phenomenal. I rarely take the time to do restaurant reviews but I wanted to for them because it’s that good. Every time we’ve ordered everyone always asks where the food is from. I’d give more than 5 stars if we could.
Dinos Villa Mare
Great pizza ; fresh seafood

Their hot pastrami is better than Lido, service is fast, prices are good, good slaw and pickles. Dino’s is also great at large catering orders ?? Will return

Shimp parm is the best we ever had. We go there frequently, never disappointed. Brick oven pizza is terrific.
