    Tortellini Alfredo is AMAZING. Their relish is great too (in tuna salad) and I really enjoyed the chicken parmesean sub. My sister is in a wheelchair and the very nice owner helped her up the steps.

    It's been 7 years since I lived in the North End and I still make trips back just for Dino's. Best chicken caesar salad around, and all the pasta dishes are fresh and delicious!

    Amazing pasta. Heaping portions made with the freshest ingredients, as good or better than what you'd get at many fancy North End restaurants for twice the price. Try the chicken parm.

    Such a little gem in the North End. Friendly service, inexpensive, and delicious. Go for a chicken parm sandwich or the lobster ravioli.

    This place has the best rolls. Get any one of their salads with grilled chicken on top. Only place I have EVER found that doesn't over- cook the chix. It's great!!

    Get the Capellini Pomodoro. The subs are huge...one is enough for two people. Real, authentic and not a huge price. And, the meatballs are melt-in-your mouth delicious.

    meatball sub is the pro choice. dino's is a quantity over quality place, so don't expect your grilled chicken to be seasoned.

    Cash only. The subs are big enough for two meals. Can't go wrong with the Steak Sicilia or Chicken Parm.
