Rachel SheppardAugust 19, 2017Love it here. The black linguine, the wine, the amazing owners. It's perfect and cozy. Nice garden and upstairs private room for events!
Anya SacharowFebruary 9, 2014Authentically Ft Greene and Italian-- pasta in big bowls, burratta, chicken liver crostini, home-made gelato. Antique, dim-lit background w/ multi culti crowd and reggae on the stereo. Just right
Pretty much everything is good. For brunch, try the savory farro porridge, the eggs Benedict (amazing!), or the steak and eggs. Dinner menu is also great. Pretty decent wine selection as well.- Jordan MJanuary 12, 2015Can't really go wrong with this darling Fort Greene spot. Be sure to ask which of the pastas are made fresh on-site.
The sautéed calamari is a Must. Can't go wrong with their specials altho their main menu is pretty awesome too. Had the Saffron Risotto w/asparagus+ scallops tonight. PS Chris is the BeSt bartender!!
for dinner, order the kale salad and riccia. sit outside during summer or inside for a cozy night. you can get pick up orders to go also!- try the savory farro porridge, dino french toast, crispy bacon, and a latte. all were savory & sweet, while hidden flavors unraveled from each. easily one of the best cups of coffee in brooklyn 👍
Gianna NebbiaNovember 16, 2017Packed on a Monday means it’s gotta be great- and it certainly did not disappoint. Classic Italian with a slightly modern twist on certain dishes 😍
Tara BreeJune 28, 2017The rigatoni ragu was awesome. Especially the sausage. Cute atmosphere with outside seating. They also have a separate room upstairs for private parties.
Ashley AlvarezJanuary 8, 2015Fresh pappardelle with lamb ragu and a kickass chianti when it's 7degrees out can't be beat. Walked in at 830pm with no issues for a party of 4.
I often have massive cravings for the BLT on focaccia w/garlic aoli. It's a little messy because they roast the tomatoes, but don't be precious about it. Just enjoy!
Samantha HendersonSeptember 30, 2016Rigatoni with meatballs and sausage is all you'll ever need in terms of comfort food. Great in person and via delivery.
Fernando EscuderoAugust 11, 2015You'd think that not getting pasta, and instead ordering a burger, is a mistake at an Italian restaurant that seems to specialize in pastas, right? Not at Dino. The burger was amazing!
Shiv ShankarJanuary 1, 2016Black Linguine is good, so is the fried calamari. Order both and your in for a calamari overload, no complaints. Cocktails are boring and expensive, I'd stick with wine.
Katie FrickNovember 9, 2014Absolutely obsessed with their Spaghetti Lemone. The zest of the lemon and the richness of the creamy Parmesan - it's perfection.
Mia MilovcicNovember 9, 2014amazing food especially burger. to recommend for! go there hungry and try at least 2 items from menu specials
Tobias KSeptember 30, 2017Great vibes here. Reasonably priced, some standouts like the limone pasta. Def stands up to the nearby competition.- Chris MarottaFebruary 14, 2016All of the pastas are great - my favorite is the Rigatoni Ragu but the Spaghetti Limone & Fedellini are close seconds.
Favorite restaurant in Fort Greene! Get any of the pasta dishes, you can't go wrong!
Archana ManiApril 1, 2015Love their special, butternut squash lasagne (surprisingly crispy) and pear gorgonzola salad (refreshingly tangy)- Lee SimpsonFebruary 25, 2017Probably the best Italian in Brooklyn. The lemon pasta with anchovies is insanely good.
Celestine MaddyAugust 11, 2018Kid friendly Italian menu and stuff for the grown ups too. Suggest the ragu. It’s a classic.
LukeMarch 15, 2015The fresh, perfectly cooked pasta stands above the other more rustic Italian spots in the neighborhood
Dino has the biggest pours of wine in BK. An amazing place to sit at the bar and get a wine buzz after work.
Stephanie MNovember 10, 2019The artichoke parmesan dip with garlic bread was unreal, could eat that all winter long!
Daniel ChangDecember 31, 2015My favs are the orecchiette and the rigatoni. A bit pricey but super yummy.- Good solo meal = sit at the bar, order whatever red wine they have featured and eat a kale Caeser and sautéed calamari.
Zach AaronsJanuary 1, 2012Very good #pasta and a beautiful outdoor garden. Worth checking out on a nice spring evening. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
We just popped in for some cocktails which were great. The menu looked good too
ReneeJuly 15, 2013Delicious pasta...sit at the bar on Friday night and Sunday brunch with Anthony for a good time
Yianns LianoglouNovember 19, 2011Fantastic take on the BLT, if you're here for brunch. Sadly, the side salad is astoundingly boring, though.
Quick and simple. Pasta was solid, veggie sides were great.
Patrick WrightJuly 20, 2013I was not impressed. It was a hot Friday evening and my expectations were too high. Quaint space, bar service was great, server was kinda rude (typical NYC service). Frozen pork patty was not cute.
I’ve tried this a couple of times and I’m still pretty disappointed. Food is average and the service is very inconsistent.
ericofthedead hAugust 13, 2012I heard mixed things about this place, but the food blew me away. Very tasty, hearty and authentic Italian treats.
Aleah NicholeSeptember 19, 2017Patio was loud with air conditioning unit and no music. Inside service was better, food was okay. Eggplant special, Tasted good but too much sauce!

"Get steak! Pasture raised meat that's aged 40 days. It's one of the most tender and flavourful steaks I've ever had. If you like steak get the largest piece as everyone in your party will want a bite!"
Sergey Morozov - 8.8
"Menu changes daily, but everything is amazing. Try a couple of the pastas. You won't be disappointed."

"The fried carciofi, agnolotti, lasagna are all incredible! Round up the meal with their home made tiramisu. Most authentic Italian food in brooklyn"
