We tried the Pesto Alfredo with Shrimp (needed extra sauce), Lasagna, and the Half and Half (Ravioli and spaghetti). Everything was huge portions and tasted delicious. Warning: this is old fashioned Italian meat sauce that some refer to as a gravy, not your standard American spaghetti sauce.
Possibly the best mom and pop Italian restaurant in the tri state.

I could tell a lot of work went into the spaghetti sauce. It wasn't to my taste, but that's no fault of the restaurant. Most people would enjoy it immensely. Lots of garlic. If you live by the truism "there's no such thing as too much garlic" then this is the place for you. You'll love the sauce. I wish I did too, I just don't like garlic.The portion sizes are huge, bring an appetite. We could have ordered 2 adult meals and fed all 4 of us. The kids portions were more than I could eat, especially with the included garlic bread.Minus 1 star because the noodles were super over cooked. I was surprised how bad they were and I don't think it was just a personal taste issue. I'm not usually fussy about noodles. And the milk wasn't very fresh, my kids wouldn't drink it.Minus 2 stars for the lack of cleanliness. The eating areas were alright, but the back rooms and bathrooms desperately need work. The women's toilet rocks badly, and the bathroom smells like the toilet is leaking around the base. Based on the build up around the sink I can see that cleanliness is not a priority. I wasn't impressed with the glimpses of the food storage or kitchens that I could see on the way back.I gave one star back because the waitress was so nice and patient with my children. She made it a lovely time.Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating to children. The kids menu is sized-down portions of the adult menu. They provided cups with lids and straws.

Great place to feed the family after seeing the Zoo. Food very good and far less expensive than the Zoo's cantinas. It's worth the trip just for the food, but also, the 2nd dibing room contains a treasure trove of WW2 memorabelia. The current owner's father (Dino) was a WW2 combat veteran and collected a lot of really cool stuff. This place is a gem and I will definately be back.

Dino’s is always a great meal. Hot, fresh and delicious, always cooked perfectly. I especially love the sauce. Also a fave is the bruschetta, and toasted ravioli. Save room because the tiramisu tops it off nicely!

It was our first time and everything was good. We had Temale Slit and it was fire. We had two spaghetti dishes; Spaghetti with Meatballs, and Spaghetti with Italian Sausage. The meatball was good, soft and tasty, noodle and sauce cook perfectly. We did not really like the sausage, it was burned and salty. The place was clean and designed with old Italian style, which we enjoyed.

This is not where you go for Italian Cuisine. I had the spaghetti and meatballs. I had to ask for a bowl to remove all the water, which happened because the noodles weren't drained before putting them into the bowl. The manager or chef, walked by and said, that's too watery. I sat at the table with the waitress and drained my spaghetti into a bowl. So, he was aware. He didnt apologize, nothing!!!! As if the sauce was too watery. No, the sauce was thick. However, the sauce wasn't good either. I always try a restaurant proclaiming a certain cuisine as their specialty with what they should be SUPERIOR with. So, they proclaim Italian, I'm gonna try your sauce...I got spaghetti and meatballs. Never again!! I was gonna order some other food, like the mufaletta. Nope! I just paid and left. Also, they offer Turkey n dressing, etc. ???????? I think they should remove the whole Italian theme and just be a restaurant that offers all types of food. When you say "ITALIAN ". People are looking for just that. The focus in the restaurant is "ITALIAN ". Fresh breads, delicious tomato sauces, TASTY and tender meatballs, delicious pasta.
Always good service and excellent spaghetti.
