Dino’s Italian Bistro on Memorial Highway is your one-stop shop that will satisfy your pasta, pizza, and hoagie cravings, plus much more.

The staff is pleasant, the restaurant is clean, and the food – at least the pizza – is very good.

As I mentioned above, Dino’s has a diverse menu of dishes, with salads and appetizers thrown in the mix. Hours vary, so it may be prudent to call in advance if you’d wish to dine in, or check in after shopping the stores of the strip mall where this...
Read moreMy husband and I got a late start on a 7 1/2 hour return trip and were hoping to find some excellent food. We were truly blessed to find this treasure! Brian and Guyano, the owner taking over for his Dad, produce superior quality, made from scratch sauces using his Grandmother's recipes. The pizza was top-notch New York Pizza made to perfection. The sausage and peppers was so rich with flavor and made my Staton Island, NY born husband recall some of his best memories for his years growing up. I had the chicken parmesean and it was amazing to have it with fresh sauces and not taste the preservatives and cans or jars like other places.
