   I love this place. The food is consistent and always satisfying. The outdoor garden in the back is really nice place for a date. I recommend the spinach gnocchi. I'm not a spinach fan, or a gnocchi fan for that matter, but that just goes to show how great the food at Dino is. I always recommend this place to friends.

   Only a few tables. Cozy. Great Italian food (not traditional red-sauce place). Friendly, chill waitstaff. We went early; probably it's really tight during peak dining hours - which could be fine, since you can actually get a reservation and all!

   I enjoy this restaurant and tend to have the same delicious orecchiette along with kale salad. I even love the salad and feel good about having such a healthy meal..

   Waited a few min for a table. Food was out quick yet didn't seem rush. Dinner was delicious. I had salmon which was delicious and desert was lovely. This was a last min find on open table for a place and it was a good choice noted by my guests.

   This is a great neighborhood spot. The food is great, they take reservations (rare among the good eating spots in this hood), and the service is above par.

   The food was tasty, waitress was nice but the tables are so close together that the people sitting next to you are practically at your table. Also, at dinner time it is very loud and not good for conversation. Will go back for the food but not a fan of the atmosphere.

   The food was delicious. We started with the bufala mozzarella - it was very fresh and the tomatoes were large, juicy, and thick. I had the spinach gnocchi in garlic cream and tomato sauce, which was the best spinach gnocchi I've ever had. My husband had the rigatoni with meatball and sausage ragu, which was very tasty, and the waiter happily brought him some bread to sop up the extra sauce when he asked (they don't put bread on the table). Our table was in a bit of a tight spot against the wall, and they do squeeze some tables into the small space, but I wasn't uncomfortable being close as it was a celebration dinner. The ambiance was enough to forget that I couldn't move my chair back. Not recommended if you don't like "close quarters".

   We had a late night dinner in the back garden. It was quiet and cozy. We forgot we were still in Brooklyn. The menu had nice choices and the home made pastas were excellent. Our waitress was friendly but clearly did not know the menu and was very slow. I'm not sure if she was new, but we did not even get our drinks for a half hour and then our appetizers came at the same time as the dinners. I would still give this local another chance, though.

   When I told my son to pick a restaurant for his birthday he said Dino without hesitation. The space is small, but easily handled our party of 6. The waitress, whom my other son knew, treated us all like friends. We each ordered a different specialty drink and exchanged tastes. They were among the best I've had in years. We began with a wide assortment of appetizers, each one better than the next, and main courses were beautifully prepared and presented, and delicious. Due to a mix up my wife didn't get her entree until ours were gone, but she said it was worth the wait, and the staff couldn't have been nicer about it. All of this might have been a hard act to follow, but the deserts lived up to the standard. This place is a find.

    Went for an early dinner prior to a concert at the Barclays Center. It was a short, enjoyable twenty minute walk through the Fort Greene section of Brooklyn. Food and service were both excellent! Loved the cozy atmosphere of the place. We were early so it wasn't crowded; but if it was, the tables in front may be too close together. I definitely will go back the next time I have an event at the center.
