    Rigatoni Bolognese with added meatball. Comes with Garlic bread. Absolutely delicious!
    Kelly H.

    First time visit did not disappoint. I got the rigatoni bolognese with an added meatball. It comes with garlic bread. Fast service, very clean establishment. Friendly greeting on arrival too. Wow, wow, wow is it good! Creamy, meaty sauce. Piping hot pasta cooked perfectly. The garlic bread crispy on the outside tender and buttery on the inside. This is a must visit and great value for the price paid. I love Dinos Grill and will be back.

    Caesar Salad
    Ana M.

    This is one of my favorite spots to come eat at! I love how old school it feels and how it takes you back to the good old days. The food is amazing. How do you recommend the Caesar salad with chicken. The chicken tenders are also very recommended as well as the fries and cheese sticks. The service is amazing.

    Italian Burger
    D.wight L.

    Kinda strange little burger diner. Its been here a long time, so it is somewhat of a local fave. I've been here several years ago, but the food never really leaves a big imprint on me, so it was hard to write a review. Tried it a couple times more within this year, so lemme churn one out before it fades in my memory. Very classic diner lookin', checkerboard tile floors with white tables. Straight counter service where you order everything first, but the food does get brought out to your table. I've noticed a few times that old timers of the town like to hold little gatherings out in the parking lot where they showcase each other's vintage cars. I'm not into that sort of thing but I find good community value there. Now even though this is mostly a burger joint, they also do a lot of basic pasta dishes. But it is very suburban pasta dishes to me so it is just kinda meh. I'll elaborate a tad more in a bit. Lasagna ($13/4*) This was actually quite decent and a good slab of a portion. The layers are substantial and the proportioning of meat to sauce to cheese to pasta is very good. I'm not a fan when there is too much of any of those, we don't have that here. Came out super hot too but pretty sure they just microwave the portion as there were spots that seemed to have gotten too blasted, ya know kinda tough/hard spots. But nothing to get worried about. I did have to season it a bit at the table but I pretty much woof'd this down one chilly afternoon. Italian Burger ($16/3*) Again good portions, nothing will be skimpy here. This is a smallish cheeseburger in between garlic bread. No garnishments just burger and buttery garlic bread. And it is served with pasta in a basic meat/tomato sauce instead of fries. The burger part was alright, fresh burger served hot and melty. Not seasoned so again a little shaker action at the table. The garlic bread is quite rich and quite garlic-y which I applaud. But the bread to me is just to soft and squishy which made me go against most American breads as I grew up. Straight up grocery mass produced bread. The pasta part is a generous serving, I packed half for another meal. They use spaghetti and rigatoni together which you don't see often. The sauce is on the light side and very bland to me. Very little salt and couldn't really taste any herbage like oregano/basil. Even the tomato flavor is very muted. I think if you're an old timer with dietary restrictions then this may be your jam. But for me unfortunately left me hanging. They do serve a very unique soda from a local soda company so no Coke or Pepsi products here. I think it's from Alameda Soda Co and I found it delicious. I only drink sodas very rarely so I don't mind in indulging in a good quality soda occasionally. I tried sips of the rootbeer and the black cherry and both were solid. I bet they don't use high fructose corn syrup. So even though I didn't love it, I most certainly didn't hate it. If running errands in this part of town, I wouldn't rule out getting their lasagna again or maybe trying their mushroom burger.

    Greek Salad with Chicken Sandwich

    Went over to Dino's in Newark. I ordered the California chicken sandwich, my mom ordered her grilled chicken salad. The food was great friendly people glad to see this types of restaurants are still around.

    I enjoy this place when I want a plate of simple comfort food. It boasts a retro 50's vibe with bright reds and blacks. You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. Service has been friendly every time I've gone. We love that they offer soda from a local company based in Oakland in their soda fountain. This time we got the California chicken sandwich and a cheeseburger. Both were tasty and served with very very hot crispy fries. I've also tried their fettuccini alfredo- it was creamy and comforting. I believe they make their own pasta. Prices are reasonable and good comes out quickly.

    Garlic Bread
    Roneil S.

    Was craving some Dino's yesterday and ordered to go. Dino's is a staple in Newark and has been serving this community for quite some time. The family that runs this business is friendly and is more like family to everyone. I ordered the fettuccini Athenian - chicken and veggies in a white sauce. The portion size was pretty big and can feed up to 2 people. It comes cooked to order so it's piping at hot. It served with a side of garlic bread to dip into the sauce. I enjoyed my food and enjoy this place every time i come and visit.

    This restaurant is located in this small complex by Starbucks and the old closed down Lucky's (I…read morebelieve). There aren't many businesses in this complex so there's always plenty of parking. I inside of the restaurant was small but had plenty of tables. It was a slow day on that weekday early dinner time. We asked to order our items for take out. We waited not too long as I remember. How was the food? Fried Calamari- for only being a couple minutes away I wonder why the calamari was already almost cold when we ate it. It was pretty disappointing. Maybe they just had it in the box while they waited for the rest of our order. I don't know. Flavor was good. Pizza Primavera - It was good, I was okay with it. The pizza dough wasn't my favorite but it was fine. White Pasta - I honestly don't remember what the name was but it was an item my bf ordered. This was terrible. Like there was too much roux to make the bechamel. It tasted of flour. Not much salt, not much of other flavors. Not enough milk and cheese and butter. He took a bite and put it down. Overall, glad we tried it but we might not be coming back. With the economy now, it's disappointing when the food is terrible for how much we pay for.

    It seems like this place may have changed ownership recently since what we got was not at all…read moresimilar to the other photos on Yelp. Came here on a weekday for dinner and it was mostly empty. We got the chicken parm and the margherita pizza. With the margherita pizza, the dough was obviously bought premade and frozen. It was dry and hard as expected from a premade frozen pizza dough. Not sure if the whole thing was bought frozen. There was generous amounts of cheese with one sad basil leaf of each quarter. One positive thing I can add about the pizza is that the cheese does have a satisfying flavor, giving me a nostalgic flashback to school lunch pizza. As for the pasta, the chicken has a strange taste (maybe too strong on a vodka marinade?). There was way too much sauce for the amount of pasta, and it had a very light and bright flavor, not terrible but definitely lacking depth and any nuances of aromatics or herbs. The chicken was not breaded and instead grilled. Servers were attentive, but seemed to have a lot of staff mostly standing around.

The meal came with a 4 oz NY steak, grilled shrimp skewer, mashed potatoes, and vegetables. The shrimp were nicely seasoned and cooked well, and the steak was still tender and flavorful. I ordered it medium rare and it came out a little more done than I expected--closer to medium--but it was still enjoyable and not dry. One of the biggest surprises here continues to be the complimentary sourdough bread. It's actually served fresh and hot from the oven. This time I had to wait a little because it was still baking, and my server let me know that upfront. It was worth waiting for: just the right amount of sourness, soft inside, with a thin, crisp crust instead of the overly thick, hard crust you get at a lot of restaurants. They also score the loaf before serving it, so it's very easy to pull apart. Honestly, one of the better complimentary breads I've had at a restaurant. I also tried the $9 Caramelized Pineapple Margarita. It was definitely on the sweet side, including the cinnamon rim, but it had a noticeable fresh pineapple aroma and was a fun drink for the price. What really pushed this visit to five stars, though, was the service recovery. My server had checked on me a couple of times earlier in the meal, and when I later mentioned that the steak was a little overcooked, she immediately went to get the manager. I wasn't asking for anything--I was just giving feedback. The manager came over personally, apologized, and asked if there was anything he could get me. When I couldn't think of anything, he suggested ice cream and brought me some. The steak being slightly overcooked was a small issue, but the way both the server and manager handled it was excellent. Good service isn't about everything being perfect; it's about how a restaurant responds when something isn't quite right, and they handled it exactly the way I would hope. Between the excellent value of the daily specials, genuinely good fresh-baked bread, good seafood, and attentive service, I'm very happy with this place. I'll definitely be back--next time I'm especially interested in trying their Sunday cioppino or coming during Social Hour.
