Thee is a pay lot across the street at the Stop & Shop (although we cannot validate for the lot). We do not offer valet parking.
Private Party Facilities: Oh no! Not another catered dinner at some soulless corporate restaurant eating rubber chicken. Well, at Dino, you never get “soulless” & our rotisserie chicken gets raves! Our private room holds 20 and we have a semi private area for 30. The entire 2nd floor holds up to 60. We specialize in family style feasts where your group is served large platters of the food Dino has become famous for serving: rustic Italian dishes made from top notch ingredients in a simple style! We let our ingredients speak for themselves. Antipasti, Dino’s famous cured meats & cheeses, house made pastas, platters of roasted or rotisserie meats and house made desserts will leave your guests full and happy. We can also match wines to go with each course or just pick a red and white for all. Our experience is that family style dining makes your evening at Dino convivial, fun & memorable. See our website for suggested menus & info!
