Dino - Brooklyn

I haven't visited this restaurant in years, but it's still the same great place. I'm so glad they are still open. The simple elegance of this place never disappoints.

My fiancé and I went here for dinner on a Saturday night. They have plenty of outdoor seating to accommodate diners when it gets busy. Our server was very friendly and attentive to us. The food was good quality and flavor, at a very good price for the neighborhood. Overall, we had a positive first experience here :

This Italian restaurant is a reliable choice in the area. It offers reasonable prices, good quality food, and a great happy hour. However, the backyard is a haven for mosquitoes, so be sure to take precautions.

The food is consistently delicious, there is always a lively atmosphere, and the service is warm and welcoming.

Came on Happy Hour which has some good deals. Crostini is excellent (had the liver pate and wild mushroom selections as was the calamari perfectly cooked. Cheese plate was more boring than I hoped (rectangles of parmesan? ; should have tried more crostini selections instead. Service was great and I'll likely return for more crostini or to sample the dinner menu of pasta, as well as to try indoor or backyard seating options. The outdoor sidewalk seating can get a little loud because of the pizza place next door but thats certainly not Dino's fault.
