Real deal home recipe Italian food and home kitchen vibes. Serving Memphis for over 80 years, it's easy to see why they've been around for so long. I asked what the trademark food was and without hesitation the waitress said the ravioli. It did not disappoint. Nothing disappointed. Probably one of the best meals I had during my trip to Memphis. read more

Love this authentic family Italian place close to campus! Food was truly homemade and not chain restaurant style. You can tell this place has been around a while and has a loyal customer base. Very good quality and quantity for the price. Will be coming back when visiting my future in-laws again. read more

Another great meal at Dino's again. Just one of my favorite places in Memphis. Great food, great service, affordable ... and you feel like you stepped back in time in this Italian family diner. A hidden gem that's been here for decades read more

Service was wonderful. Very cute little neighborhood place with lots of local blue hairs. The food was not good, sauce was weird. We started with the fried ravioli. They seemed house made but they tasted weird and like the grease they were fried in. The pizza was so incredibly greasy, it's all you could taste. Literally everything here tasted like grease. Service was impeccable. It was just a waste of $40 read more

The Alfredo was amazing. Probably the best Alfredo I have ever had. Service was quick, and the area felt some home like. 100% recommend!

Very charming rustic Italian eatery. Basic food at affordable prices. Staff is very accommodating. Going back for another meal as soon as I get back in town. read more

Neighborhood establishment that wears its age with grace. It isn't much to look at but you're not there for the ambiance. Seat yourself but staff is friendly and efficient. The food is delicious and portions are enormous. Worth a visit. read more

This is a very atmospheric, neighborhood joint. I would recommend the chicken parmigiana, their ravioli (chicken & spinach), as well as the Italian meat sauce (gravy, made with celery, and other vintage ingredients). Their combination options make for a good deal. The prices are very reasonable. The homemade tiramisu is also delicious. Most everything in this restaurant is made from scratch, and tasty. I don't recommend the Italian sausage, as they prepare them in a manner that chars them to the point of being burnt black (yuck). The service was generally attentive and unhurried. I was especially lucky to speak with the owner as I paid at the register next to the front entrance. He's a really nice guy, and should be proud of his family's continued culinary tradition. Moreover, when I'm in the Memphis Zoo neighborhood again, I will definitely consider returning to try their other meal offerings. (The meatballs are calling to me!) read more

Best ravioli I found that is not homemade. The lasagna is delicious. I always get their toasted ravioli when I go.

The meatball sandwich was outstanding! Nice staff, retro decor. Fairly priced. Loved it!

Great atmosphere! The area makes you think about Memphis in the 50's and 60's. Food is very good. Not just known for their Italian food. Try their open-faced roast beef sandwich. Really good brown gravy, put it on your fries, too. read more

A hidden gem. First time here. Dino's is located right in the neighborhood cross street of McLean and Tutwiler. Parking is very limited on street and there maybe parking at nearby store. Once inside the restaurant it has that comfortable neighborhood mom & pop feel. Nostalgic movie posters and photos are the decor. Plenty of seating for both sides of the restaurant. I found the ceiling tiles interesting and remanence of my old house. The menu has plenty to choose from and a nice selection of desserts. I ordered the spaghetti and ravioli half and half which was delicious. A friend ordered the Italian sausage spaghetti which was equally tasty. Sweet tea was perfect. Not too sweet. I ordered bruschetta and the limoncello dessert to take home. Customer service was excellent. Food was fresh, hot and delicious. The bathrooms are located way in the back and be warned that they are definitely on the small side. Before you leave you must visit the next room a view the military collection. We struck up a conversation with the guy sitting back there (not sure if he was the owner) but the collection on the wall was his. It was great to hear about the items and his collection from the various wars. If you want a nice Italian meal with a nostalgia feel and a bit of military history this is the place. read more

AAA+++ Dino's never disappoints! Delicious, generous portions, and hopefully maintaining their prices. read more

Can't beat the sauce. Sooo good. Love the atmosphere too. Fantastic service. Plate lunch is great but honestly never had anything not outstanding. Leave room for dessert. read more

Dino's has been a favorite place to eat for a long time. I've been eating here since the early 70's. The food is great. Great Italian food. Best Toasted Ravioli anywhere. Not to the manager; please put more effort in to making the dining area look cleaner. Don't like seeing old food stuck to the walls or on wall art when you're sitting in a booth to eat. Just saying..... Otherwise I love Dino's and recommend it. read more

50 years of consistently good food. Fed me through college and beyond. No longer all that convenient for me, but I'll still make a run and pick up a few things. read more

Quiet little place in the heart of town. Not fancy, not fast food just good home cooking.

The pesto Alfredo was very good, but I wish it had a little more chicken on it for the price of adding chicken. The waitress was great but coworkers were very talkative, and she became inattentive to our table. (Completely missed the appetizer of toasted ravioli we ordered) Those are the only 3 reasons for 4/5. However - we will be back! I understand the atmosphere of a "mom and pop" restaurant can vary from time to time. read more

Not a fancy place but great food. Been eating there for years. Always great. Besides the house made ravioli they have a great muffaletta.

I've never had ravioli this good! Chicken, spinach and cheese ravioli along side my chicken Parmesan. I told my server I was hungry and she didn't steer me in the wrong direction on what to order. My lunch/dinner was delicious! read more

Amazingly great fettuccine and spinach .taste very much loved and enjoyed greatly. Can't wait to eat some again

The food was the best. Very timely service. Appreciated the Italian ambiance. Planning on using them to cater the Ladies Italian American Civic League Quarterly meeting this month. read more

Celebrating my 70th birthday with about 25 family members and was blown away about how good the food was and the service with 25 members of my family in attendance. There's no better Italian food in Memphis than what you can get at Dino's Grill. A old fashion family restaurant with many generations of family involved through the years. The meat sauce "gravy" is second to none and spaghetti and meatballs or Italian sausage is to die for. My wife loves the eggplant or chicken parmigiana and toasted raviolis as the best in town. The waitress was very attentive and took and served our meal expeditiously well. Rudy and Mario Grisanti did a great job accommodating our party of 25 and even put together a special menu for us at a great value. Appetizers, salads and entrees including garlic bread and fountain drinks or tea cost us about $22/each and it was more food than one person could eat. This place deserves two thumbs up! read more

Delicious food and attentive service. We haven't been to Dino's Grill since we moved out of town in the 90's. So glad it is still open and run impeccably by the same owners. In an age where new restaurants filled with stainless steel, faux tile and employees that wish they weren't there abound in any town it is a rare treat to walk into a historic, beautiful establishment with timeless architecture and servers that are attentive, informative, friendly and knowledgeable. Please stay the way you are, Dinos! Memphis needs you and so do we. Thanks read more

generations...a pandemic and Dino's is still going strong! Lunch today after church was great...a window seat to watch it snow, a delightful waitress named Grace, great lunch partner to break bread and share conversation, great booth at the window and the Muffuletta sandwich...OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD! ...but ordering a half is HUGE....people be warned (in a good way)...LOL. I cannot wait to go back and try more menu items. Next stop...the homemade ravioli. A p.s....The adjoining room is home to amazing familia and WWIi memorabelia...if you have time to linger...check it out. DINO'S is the real deal! read more

The food was phenomenal and for a great price! I got the spaghetti and meatballs and it tasted like coming home and eating a big plate of spaghetti that my mom cooked. My husband got the lasagna and said it was excellent. We got the tiramisu even though we were both full and it was out of this world and worth every bite! read more

First time here. My buddy, a Memphis native, brought me here for some spaghetti the night before a race. The place is awesome. Great food, friendly, fast service. And an awesome price. You should definitely get the toasted ravioli. Wow. The history in the place is just amazing. Apparently, one of the old WWII uniforms hanging there belonged to my buddy's grandfather. This place is a gem. Worth the trip. read more

We paid our first visit to Dino's. My husband got the stuffed shells and ravioli meal, and I got the chicken pesto alfredo plate. We sampled each other's food, and while we liked it all, the stuffed shells were our favorite. The homemade meat sauce was chef's kiss. I also enjoyed their tiramisu. read more

Food always great veal and spaghetti service is always fast and friendly ambience is great and cozy thank you

A family owned old school Italian. Got basic spaghetti .. and it was good . Going back to try others .

was lured here by the Thursday all you can eat spaghetti advertised on the dinos website for $9.00. I've never eaten here before so i thought i'd give it a try. it's not $9 it's $11.75 when i looked at menu. i ordered just regular plate of spaghetti and meatballs with meatsauce and a pepsi. right off the bat the pepsi had a fruity chemical taste so i traded for sweet tea and tea was ok to drink. when i received the spaghetti it was cold and no meat in the meatsauce. pretty tasteless. i ate it anyway without complaint. the garlic bread was good and fresh but barley any garlic on it. for the $20 price with tip i was still hungry when i left so i give it a 2 stars. parking situation is not ideal. i parked in the back and had feelings of not being safe. if i knew what style of pizza dino serves i would possibly come back one day and try it. read more

I may have been a little harsh on my previous review. Not much, but maybe just a bit. This is one of the oldest restaurants in Memphis and is a vital part of our city and its history. It's now the third generation. I did talk with Rudy for a minute after my meal and I was born the year he started this location. I do remember coming as a kid with my parents. I can't imagine what it would be like being stuck in the same building all those years doing the same thing every day. It takes a lot of work to stay open that long and I'm sure I'd get burned out. I'd never last this long. I was really wanting some lasagna, but I can have that every day. They are doing a meat and three deal, and offer different choices for each day. Wednesday is fried chicken, so I decided to do that not knowing what day my next visit will be. That fried chicken was nothing short of incredible. The skin and the breading really made it good. The pintos weren't special, but the stuffed potatoes and creamed corn were. And this time my partner and I were offered three breads, of which I only ate the cornbread. It's not iron skillet cornbread but it was good. Portion sizes were what I would expect for an adult and I ate every bit. I hope they know they ruined my dinner later that night. Some of the prices of the menu items are a tad bit high, but the daily special was very reasonable for what I got. I guess I had partly forgot about this place and haven't been in a while. I'll try not to let that happen again. I'm impressed by what I ate yesterday. Thanks guys. read more

Dino's was a "ok" experience. The service was ok, food was pretty good... it wasn't a memorable experience but it wasn't a bad one either. I would eat at Dino's again, if they were one block from me and I could walk. But wouldn't rate a drive with Memphis traffic to dine there again read more
