How did I not know about this place sooner?? I finally noticed Dino's when they moved to their new location. The restaurant inside is really nice and clean. We ordered a few different items: fried ravioli, spaghetti with meatballs, and pizza. Everything, and I mean everything, was the best Italian food I've had in a while. Full of flavor & fresh tasting. The meatballs were amazing and the pizza was spectacular. Our waitress was really friendly and attentive too. I love that this is a family owned business, and you can tell this restaurant is their passion. So glad we have this gem in AJ. read more

What a surprise! This Italian Deli and Cafe has some of the best authentic pasta around! Having never been there, we didn't know what to expect. This place is clean and friendly. Our server, Brie, made our whole evening! Brie really knows her menu and her service did not miss a beat! Not to mention, she was the only server, but made you feel you were the special attention table! I had the eggplant parmigiana and it was outstanding! Perfect! My husband had Shrimp Scampi! We brought half of our meals home for another meal. The meals come with a fresh salad and garlic bread! Full bar and so enjoyable! We went early and luckily got a table! If you don't make this your go to place, you will really miss out! read more

From the time we sat down until the time we left our service was Awesome! Our server Haley was very friendly and checked in often. Best service I have had at a restaurant in awhile. Also the food was Awesome! I definitely recommend Dino's and will be back, read more

I can only give it one star as we didn't even get to taste the food! Put in an order for a pizza and was told 30 minutes for pick, okay no big deal...only to get down there and then tell us they didn't have our order and if we'd like to wait another 30 minutes to make another pizza...no thanks! read more

We just went with our 5 yr old, Ashton, and everyone was so sweet. The food was amazing and our son even stole some of his dad's Chicken Parm! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality and good food! read more

Had dinner last night. Chicken Marsala should have been called garlic chicken; very little Marsala wine in the sauce. Clam pasta didn't have a good flavor. Both salads were drowning in dressing with wilted lettuce. The pizza was the best item we ordered but not outstanding. Overall a waste of $100 for dinner and 3 drinks. Disappointed given the Italian heritage of the owners. read more

It is nice to have an old fashioned Italian deli right here in AJ. Along with good food who could ask for more.

We are out of towners and wanted some great pizza but had no idea what was good. SO GLAD we picked up food at Dino's! We had their sausage and mushroom and pepper pizza. Excellent and the other reviews were right on--such good crust! We also liked that the pizza came in a long paper envelope thing and not a box. Less waste! read more

We are from out of town, staying with a friend who recommended Dino's to us. We went in and each of us ordered Chicken Alfredo. The waitress that waited on us brought our salads and waters and then disappeared for a while out the back. Another person brought our meal to us. The food I must say was excellent. When the waitress came back she went over to the drink area and fell asleep at the drink fountain. It was apparent that she was on some type of drug. She also had a bad body odor. I went up and informed another employee that something was wrong with their waitress as she was nodding off. I was informed that she was aware of the problem and there was nothing she could do. We will go back as the food was very good however if the same waitress is there we will not stay. read more

We ordered take out from Dino's. I got the Chicken Parmesan with Alfredo sauce as I cannot eat red sauce. We also got Spaghetti and Meatballs and Chicken Vesuvio - all were excellent. We had to get the cannolis and tiramisu - both we really good. When i talked to the person taking the order. She kept saying "gravy" for the Spaghetti and Meatballs. It finally clicked in my head what she meant by "gravy". =) Thanks for being local in AJ. We will return.. for sure! read more

This place was very sketchy. The waitress disappeared for at least 15 minutes in the back while we were waiting for garlic bread. The bartender was yelling at some people as they walked in and eventually kicked them out. Not a place to go for ambiance. read more

Three time I've been in for three different items and it's my go to place for EVERYTHING ITALIAN!! I'm an east coast Italian, so was brought up on the best, (nuthin against Chicago) and Dino's reminds me of my youth. read more

This is our new favorite spot! The employees were amazing and the food was phenomenal! You get a large portion of food for a wonderful price. Everyone was so kind and personal, it felt like home! I can't wait to come back and eat at Dino's! read more

True Chicago Italian deli! Boy, oh boy, oh boy! Now thatza what I call sandwich! Stopped in to try another restaurant that was close to home and had great reviews. It was also on my list of places to try so went for it. Doesn't look like much from the outside but as soon as we walked through the front door my senses brought me back to a mama and pop's good old fashioned Italian deli you'd find in Chicago. Few booths surrounded by Chicago themed memorabilia from professional sports team, Cubs and White Sox, Blackhawks and the Bears. Numerous Chicago skylines are on the walls as well as some news articles. Brings back fond memories for we Chicago natives. The deli area is small and simple with employees busily taking orders and the counter and others constructing the sandwiches ordered. I had decided before even arriving I wanted to try Nana G's Italian sandwich/sub and hubby decided on the turkey with American cheese. I also wanted to try their olive salad, but alas, they were out of it. Now keep in mind we walked in 20 minutes before close so I wasn't surprised. It took a bit longer then we expected to get our to-go order, but the bag was big and heavy for 2 sandwiches. My mouth was watering the whole 5 minute drive home thinking about my sandwich. Upon unwrapping the sandwiches my eyes widened as they were HUGE! Stuffed full of all the meats, cheeses, lettuce and tomatoes in a soft Italian sub roll! It was difficult and messy to eat but every bite on my sandwich was so good! Hubby liked his but only negative he said was that since the sandwich filling is layered and stuffed on a roll that is cut but not completely, rather opened like book, once folded close it's difficult to bite through and get everything in the sandwich in one bite. So you get some meat with lettuce one bite, some meat and cheese in another and so on. He likes to taste it all together. As for me I'll eat it anyway the bites come and savor each one. This is a place definitely worthy of checking out if you have a hankering for some good Italian deli sandwiches! read more

I have taken over 60 people here for lunch and dinner. The best Chicken Marsala I have ever had. The ravioli's are awesome. Italian beef sandwich great. And now they finally serve pizza. The ambiance is total dive, the food is 5 star. We have done many family style dinners here. All of our guests can't believe the quality and value of the food. Don't forget to try the Italian sausage and the meatballs. read more

My husband and I love Dino's. The best Italian beef in Arizona. Amazing cannoli with pistachios. So fresh. Great family owned restaurant. They are always friendly and remember your name... cause you keep coming back for more!!!! read more

Good, thick deli sandwiches but very pricy, even before Bidenflation kicked in, and they don't even throw in a bag of chips.

What can I say, we love it here. Great atmosphere, phenomenal food, and the best people! We normally sit at the bar. We absolutely love the bartenders, Wendy, Kristi, and Julie. While we don't typically sit at tables, Brie runs the show with a great sense of humor, drive and positive demeanor. And then there's Heather... no matter how much chaos with the busy surges, she's always collected, with a smile. Even Cindy and Rick from the kitchen will pop their heads out and have some fun. All this say, Dinos has a great atmosphere, equally good food, and even better people. It's great to know family businesses like Dino's still exist. read more

Ordered online based on the reviews arrived to pick up food not ready when promised now 30 minutes later we are still waiting ordered 2 sandwiches and fries an hour and half later still not ready no apology no offer to refund or even a discount on next order.....first time ordering and will definitely be the last another lady has waited an hour she asked for a refund 15 mins later still no refund read more

Really great beef sandwich, tasted amazing and is a must have when in the area! I have gone back for it again and they have a half sandwich for 5$ so it's greatly priced. The onion rings and fries are always tasty home made and good also. I don't think anything on the menu will disappoint. read more

Paladino's Italian Eatery - Chicken Parmesan and beef/Italian sausage combo. - Delis Near Me - Apache Junction, Arizona

Ate their yesterday and had the pastrami sandwich and RC. It was not the best pastrami that I have had. Did not think the add ons were worth it. You have to pay for cheese and sour Kraut to go on your sandwich. It needs to rework there menu and add all the things to the sandwich with having to charge so much. It should not cost 14 to 15 dollars for a sandwich. You can almost go and get a steak for that kind of fee. read more

A real prize in Apache Junction, Dino's Italian Deli. Real italian food that rivals anything i've ever had. Had the traditional spaghetti & meatballs, wife had the chicken parmesan. So flavorful and enjoyable even down to the side salad and fantastic garlic bread. Help them thru this pandemic by trying them for the first time or going back to an old favorite, you won't be disappointed. read more

Authentic Chicago food. Staff was very friendly. Italian Beef Sandwich and Pizza are very good

I found this place on google and can't say enough on how great the food is here. We recently had a catered lunch for a work function and everyone was amazed by how good it was. I eat here at least 3 times a week now. read more

Dino's is a great Italian restaurant and bartender/server Julie is the best!

Had a coupon so thought we would give it try. Drove by so many times but didn't even know it was a resturant till I saw the coupon in my book. We got the penne pasta with ricotta and meatballs and a spicy spaghetti and sausage dish. Sooo good! My husband finished his...even though he shouldn't have. I brought half home. They were very big portions. We will be back! read more

We love this Place you have to try the breaded steak sandwich it's fantastic and they also make a good pizza. I am from Chicago and moved here in 1993 and we go back every summer for our favorite foods. Well we found them right here in Apache Junction. We will definitely become regulars. read more

I heard about this place on a local Chicago Food group. The pizza is excellent - really good crust, and very similar to Chicago neighborhood style pizza. Also ordered order of spaghetti and meatballs, which came with bread and salad. Loved the meatballs, dressing and bread. I planned on having leftovers today, but found my teenager had gone back during the night to eat it. :) read more

This place is a GEM!!! Absolutely fantastic food for a really fair price! They have vegetarian food options, and an otherwise really varied menu. Everything is homemade. I'm from Chicago, this is a little piece of home. My family will be picking up from here very often for sure! read more

The chicken parmesan is off the hook! And my wife is addicted to the olive salad! Onion rings are awesome too. This place rocks!

My new fav. The Sicilian green olive salad is absolutely addicting. They have great hot Italian sausage that you can buy and grill yourself. Reminds me of the delis back home in the Midwest. The Italian beef sandwiches are to die for. The owners are very nice and friendly. I highly recommend this place. read more
