Dino is a perfect retreat. The backyard garden, while cozy, is a fantastic way to enjoy outdoor dining without having to hear cars race by. The service is attentive, but not overwhelming. There is clearly a focus on letting guests enjoy the evening. The food is superb and it does not try too hard. That doesn't mean unsophisticated, just unpretentious and delicious. Not sure what else one could ask for.

To begin the evening, we were very delayed in traffic. We called to change our reservation, and the restaurant was incredibly accommodating in getting us seated as soon as possible once we finally arrived. Wonderful food in a tiny but welcoming setting. Had several things from the menu as well as a few of the specials and all were delicious. I honestly don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. One note ... for dessert we had an ice cream (home made cappuccino), a fruit tart, and a tiramisu. The fruit tart was amazing. The tiramisu was not very sweet - hubby liked it better than I.

Our group was at least a half hour late for our reservation, and we ended up having 1 more person than we had reserved for. The Dino staff was incredibly accommodating and nice even though they could have very easily said "too late your table is gone." (I'm sure it helped that it wasn't terribly busy.) We also had pre-purchased a drink deal, which added another level of potential annoyance to the staff, but they were still wonderful. The food was delicious. We each ordered something different ... from salad to eggs to omelets to burgers to ravioli, and we each absolutely loved our meal. We'll be back - for the service, for the food, and for the all around lovely atmosphere.

We recently moved to the neighborhood because of Hurricane Sandy. We are big foodies, and this is the third time we have been to Dino. Already planning our next visit.

Needed to find a place near Pratt, and we were very pleasantly surprised. Pretty much everything our party of five ordered was good ... fresh, good flavors, well made. We'll be back!

What a wonderful surprise this restaurant was. From the website and from customer reviews we were expecting very good food but standard Italian food, in a very nice but somewhat formal setting. The reality is a warm, cozy ambience, very friendly service, and some of the best food I have eaten anywhere in NYC in a while, Italian, but with very interesting notes. I would highly recommend this restaurant and would go back, even though it is a bit out of my way.
