Food was SOOOOO GOOD! I will dream of the gnocchi forever.
I planned a large group dinner (15 people) and reserved the private space upstairs. The entirety of planning was so seamless. They worked with me on some dietary restrictions (some gluten intolerance at a pasta restaurant was a risk) but all of their recommendations were so good! We had assorted crostini, Caesar salad, gluten free rigatoni siciliana (it was with the GF penne and honestly no one could even tell that it was GF), spinach gnocchi pomodoro (EVERYONE’S favorite WOW it was so pillowy and delicious), and assorted desserts all of which were fantastic. We had 1 waitress for the group for all of the drink orders which worked out nicely, and she let us play our own music and everything.
Again - whole planning process was seamless, dinner itself was seamless and the food was fantastic.

We had our engagement dinner at Dino last October, and it was honestly perfect. I can’t put into words how grateful I am to the entire team for making the night so special. From the moment we arrived, the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and taken care of. Everyone — from the hostess to the servers — was so kind, organized, and genuinely invested in making sure our evening went smoothly.
The upstairs room was exactly what we hoped for: warm, cozy, and intimate, the perfect setting for our celebration with close friends and family. We arrived about 30 minutes early to set up, and the staff immediately jumped in to ask if they could help with anything. It was such a relief and made the whole experience feel effortless.
The food was incredible — every dish came out perfectly timed and absolutely delicious. The servers were attentive without being intrusive, kept the wine flowing, and made sure every guest felt taken care of.
It was one of those rare nights where everything just felt right. Dino made it unforgettable, and I’m still smiling thinking about it. I can’t recommend them enough for anyone looking for a beautiful, welcoming place to host a special event. Truly, they made our night magical.

What a great dinner and vibe. We sat out in the backyard and were looked after by the lovely and attentive Diane. She was on the mark with her wine and food suggestions! I really enjoyed the orecchiette. Thank you for the great service. Would definitely go back!

What a truly lovely little restaurant. The fennel salad was excellent. And skirt steak cooked perfectly. Chicken Milanese was also very very good.

Reliable pasta spot with a great deal on deliveries!! I’ve spent new years here and also enjoyed just casual meals. Great spot!!

Unfortunately the ventilation was really bad so the air was filled with smoke in the back of the restaurant

Had a surprisingly underwhelming (but adequate) experience at Dino on a Saturday evening.
We made reservations same day and were able to get in with no wait. Staff was quick, helpful, and friendly.
We were sat in the back patio which is fine, but cramped. The strange fence surrounding the back area is painted a light beige color and is not appealing to the eye - makes the space seem clinical and strange. The fence would use another color and/or some décor.
The food and drink was very mediocre for the otherwise decent experience. I ordered a Lambrusco which came out barely chilled - not cold at all.
On the specials menu was a zucchini and mint soup, with the option to get it hot or cold. We opted for the cold version, but it also came out barely chilled (as if in a refrigerator for 5 minutes). The bowl was not chilled either so the soup ended up being extremely underwhelming (in presentation as well as flavor).
I ordered the orecchiette which was bland in flavor and also not super warm/hot. The dish wasn’t warmed here either, making the poor temperature of the food stand out even more.
My companion ordered the Cacio e Pepe which was very good.
Overall a very mediocre experience from a promising restaurant. Might return again, but there are likely better options based on the experience I had.

I had high hopes for this restaurant, but unfortunately, our experience fell short. I ordered the pasta aglio e olio, a simple dish that should highlight quality ingredients and flavors, but I was disappointed. The pasta didn’t have the al dente texture it should have—it seemed like it had been re-boiled, which affected the freshness and flavor. Our other dishes also lacked the depth and seasoning we expected, especially for the price. We appreciate the ambiance, but overall, the meal left us wanting more---and a refund!
Delaying and confronting is not always convenient.

yikes! really wanted to like this place but… the fan in the back is crazy loud and food trucks out front are if possible even louder. not sure about dining in. ordered a butternut squash crostini and the squash had been roasted completely unseasoned. also the lambrusco was flat. we really wanted to have dinner here but the crostinis and atmosphere really turned us off:(

I love that Dino's is a consistently delightful dining experience that includes delicious Italian cuisine and exceptional service in a small yet very comfortable environment. I'm partial to anything bolognese, and the basket of bread is very tasty. I have been to Italy seven times, and Dino's comes close to recreating the ambiance of an authentic Italian restaurant.
