Dino's in Nottingham

The meal was beautiful and the place was very clean. The staff were attentive but not obtrusive. The only reason not to give five stars was the inane music. Pleasant background music is fine, but this was obscure and to loud.

Friendly place made to feel very welcome when called in on the off chance. Great choice of freshly made dishes. Everyone around seemed to be having a lovely time as well as us. The food is worth coming for but the service was also top notch. Will definitely return

This place is so intimate, the staff are amazing and the food is out of this world. I highly recommend visiting

Perfect everything. We've not been for a while until tonight, but it is as good as before. We'll be back.

A lovely place to eat. Absolutely amazing food.

Our first time at this lovely little restaurant..and it definitely won’t be the last! Really cosy & welcoming on a horrible cold wet night..staff were friendly, smiley & attentive & the food was gorgeous! Would particularly recommend the pollo Toscana..the white wine & cream sauce combined so well with the sundried tomatoes & spinach.. Affogato (him) &cocktail(me!) finished the meal off beautifully.. We thought the prices were very reasonable too.. All in all a fantastic dining experience!😋😋

Never been before but always wanted too, staff were very nice and friendly, had bruschetta and prawns for starters which were lovely but mains not so great- bang average double cooked chips were soggy and hard potato in middle, lasagne and ragu pasta both ok- but pasta over cooked in both and definitely need to add in more seasoning, atmosphere is nice and nice venue but food is average!

Used to be our go place after work.. Great service and cocktails but the staff are now terrible.. So rude and looked as though they would rather be somewhere else.. So don't bother

Staff are surly.. Cocktails used to be great.. With great staff..crappy cocktails.. Crappy staff.. Couldn't have been more appalled with their attitude..

Such a nice place, friends took us there for lunch. Looks small but is bigger than you think from outside. Food was really good, had lasagne very tasty and with the best and biggest chips I have seen. I would book if you want to give it a try especially at the wkend, we went Saturday 2pm and was very busy.

The food was excellent and the staff were very helpful.

Excellent food and generous portions. Good cocktails too.

Lovely little restaurant nestled at the top of the Lace Market, had lunch with daughter. We had the Lasagne with twice cooked fries & side salad, the food was piping hot & delicious. Definitely would recommend the lovely little restaurant.

We visited Dinos on 31st January as a party of 16, and the service was excellent. The whole party was served very quickly and efficiently. The food was to a high standard with quality produce. The price was more reasonable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They were also extremely professional. The place has a wonderful atmosphere, especially for a rainy cold January evening. We will certainly visit again next time we are in Nottingham.

Great lunch. Food was tasty and plentiful. Staff very friendly and attentive. Only criticism was that the restaurant was a bit cold, but we didn’t say anything and if we had of done I’m sure they would have sorted it for us. Anyway the food warmed us up.

Did eat but loved everything about Dinos x

Went in on the off chance of getting a table for four. Even though it was really busy the staff sorted a table for us very quickly. Service was fast and the food was great. All of us really enjoyed it. We'll all definitely be returning in the future

Great place, great food, great atmosphere!

Nice food however cramped conditions and very small table

A gorgeous little restaurant where we had a lovely meal. Would recommend booking as they leave some tables open for walk-ins (which we were very lucky to get) but it gets very busy. Had a really nice mushroom risotto but would definitely recommend the beef ragu if that's something you'd fancy as I tried a bit of my mum's and I ended up a bit jealous 😂. Soft drinks very reasonably priced as well! Beautifully decorated interior and lovely atmosphere, would happily return (but with a booking this time!)

Have eaten and enjoy it here before, but booked on a Friday evening for 5:30, arrived with one other couple eating and we were put on the ‘after thought’ table, it’s been put there to squeeze in an extra cover, a fake plant is almost in one person face! Ordered the fajitas and had zero chance of it fitting on the table, restaurant was still 70% empty so I asked why we’d been put on this table when plenty of others were available, she advised it was due to other bookings, but we’d just seen one couple walk in, no booking and seated on a table for 4! No offer to move us but the waitress offered to take some items off the table we said yes and then she left without doing it! Shame as food was actually nice

This was our first time at dinos we have walked by it a few times and I've always wanted to go and see what it was like. As we were coming into Nottingham on Saturday to meet a couple of friends I booked a table. It didn't disappoint. From the service to the food was 1st class. Carnt wait to come again.

The front of house staff at Dinos deserve a special mention, their customer service in our experience is second to none. Being frequent visitors, we always receive a friendly service and welcome. It's good to see the Chips are back to their best and are untouchable 👌 We have now introduced a dozen or more family and friends to dine at Dinos and none have been disappointed with the food or service. Keep up the excellent levels of service and the Kitchen Team the high standards in producing quality food including the specials. Look forward to visiting many times in 2024 👍

Lovely place ,food always good . Slightly disappointed they didn't have seabass on the menu . Service really good . Would recommend.

Stopped here for lunch - delicious Italian food and great service. Recommend

Had our Christmas work meal here recently and was really pleased with the whole experience. They were friendly, efficient and the food was delicious.

Excellent food, friendly and attentive service all at a very reasonable price. I recommend Dinos to all my friends.

Regulars at Dino, love it. Always know your going to get really good food. X

Fantastic food, atmosphere and service from all especially Izzy. She was excellent and very knowledgeable. She was friendly and answered all questions with a smile. We were there for hours for a birthday celebration and enjoyed ourselves immensely.

First time eating here got to say food was outstanding.. staff friendly as always. Nicely priced cant fault it

Great little place, superb very reasonably priced food and relaxed friendly atmosphere. Have nothing but praise for this restaurant and highly recommend!!

Attended a birthday celebration. Food was delicious and staff were excellent and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Absolutely perfect. Venue,food and staff amazing. My favourite place to eat. Would recommend it to anyone without hesitation. Organising my next visit already.

A very regular visitor to Dinos, and the magnet being the fantastic Fat Chips, however, on Saturday 7th October the Chips have taken a turn for the worst. Instead of the standard Golden Brown soft long fat chips, they've become what appears to be cheaper fried chips and nothing resembling the original chips. Hopefully, the above will get back to normal ASAP to avoid further disappointment.

Little gem of a place. Tucked away down a little side street. Fab staff, good amazing. Can find fault with anything. Just perfect

6 of us visited for lunch and all had something different, everything was delicious and a struggle to fault. Staff were attentive and helpful Lovely atmosphere, decorated nicely. Will 100 percent be returning

Loved my experience at dino's tonight, can't fault the service. I shall be returning again at some point in the future.

We had a wonderful meal at Dino, the restaurant is small but bustling, quirky but cosy decor. The staff were attentive and served us quickly. The food was fabulous, the specials board made the menu more extensive and both of the meals we ordered were delicious. I had a chicken, bacon and mushroom baked pasta dish - it was stuffed with meat and the creamy sauce was divine. I couldn’t manage it all - and I’m good at eating. Just over £50 for two mains and a really nice bottle of wine - fantastic value. We will definitely be back.

Amazing food and atmosphere. Definitely not shy with portion sizes!

Impromptu visit this afternoon for food and wine. Fabulous food, great service, very reasonable prices.

Without doubt the worst restaurant food I've experienced in Nottingham for years!! I was genuinely astounded at the embarrassing lack of culternary knowledge, skills, and awareness present on the plate; sloppy lasagne, a watery chicken and bacon pasta dish, both accompanied by a bland, undressed side salad. The prawn starter had the same along with toasted baguette slices! (Does the kitchen know what 'fresh' bread is?) Its very clear that the chef doesn't understand the Italian dishes we ordered and how to cook them. AND they tried to charge us for dishes we didn't eat! That is poor service! The place is cute and this must be the attraction because If you know about food, and/or can cook there's no way you'd eat here!

Our first visit in years. It was early on a Thursday night and it wasn't busy. My wife had the smoke salmon starter which she loved. For the mains we both had a different pasta dish from the specials board, with a portion of the twice cooked chips. All very tasty and too much for me. I couldn't finish it. No complaints great service and food.

Excellent food and importantly piping hot , we all had different lasagne seafood linguine , sizzling fajitas , chicken&bacon pasta with most lovely white wine cream sauce , chips delicious . I brought friends who had not been before and they loved it . We will be back …. soon

Beer was off, lasagne was dry but nice atmosphere and staff.

A regular customer but just want to say what fabulous food we had today. No Fish on the menu but Hussef the chef said he could do salmon. It was beautiful and in a fabulous sauce. We are never disappointed whatever we have to eat not like many other restaurants in Nottingham. Victoria also very pleasant and helpful. Just a big thank you. Vicki , Elaine and Mum xx

Dined at Dino tonight for the first time and was really impressed! The decor was gorgeous and the service was so warm, welcoming and attentive. The food was delicious (I had the mushroom and leek risotto and double cooked chips that were actually from heaven!). Will definitely return!

Such a gorgeous restaurant with delicious fresh and authentic italian food, cosy and classy decor and really friendly staff (Ellie was a top waitress). Reasonable prices and great drinks too. Could become a new fave.

Fantastic food. Well.done to the chefs.

Great food and great service. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Everything was excellent. Food, service and value for money.

First time at Dinos , but won't be the last . Food was excellent, wife had steak , I had a bacon and chicken pasta dish from the specials board. Very reasonably priced and excellent quality

Very friendly and more importantly, noneed to wait at the bar bench for your drinks

Birthday night out with friends. Pretty average . Food average . Won’t visit again . 6/10

Enjoyed our meal here after a few drinks around the town.

Good home cooked food. Always a favourite and at very reasonable prices.

Cosy/poky restaurant, situated in Nottingham's trendy Hockley area. Great atmosphere. We had the fajitas and the aubergine melanzane, which, were sadly quite average, especially the former. We had two margarita cocktails, which were also OK.

Great bar/restaurant. Dipping the chips into the peppercorn sauce was amazing.

Food was lovely. Very reasonable prices, comfortable and cozy. The staff were all amazing which is the key for me. I'm looking forward to going again! Peak times are very busy so remember to reserve a table with their easy to use website!

Love this hidden jewel of a restaurant. Fantastic welcome, ambience and excellent food and service. Highly recommend Dino as a pre theatre dine, ladies luncheon and the seafood linguine.

Very enjoyable family celebration meal in a restaurant that has a great atmosphere. The staff are friendly and polite. Will visit there again.

Booked a table for six, one of our party has food allergies. The two waitresses were so accommodating. They slightly altered one of their original dishes to suit. All the meals we perfectly cook and presented. Reasonable prices too! Highly recommend 👍

This place is a gem. Great food and really good service from a very friendly and well trained team and very well priced compared to many places in the same area.

How lucky we were to get a table at Dino's at the last minuet. They fitted us in between other bookings. The staff were very professional and the kitchen team provided excellent food. The prawns in a spicy tomato sauce lovely and i was glad of the crusty bread to mop up all of the sauce. All three of use had a different main course and we all enjoyed the food very much. I thought that both the food and wine were reasonably priced. Thank you to the Dino's team for hosting us, I have already been recommending you to my friends and we will be back again.

Great food and attentive service. We visited after a show in nottingham, so didn’t sit down until 21:50, but that didn’t matter. Great welcome, food was fab and the service was great!

Eaten here on a number of occasions over the years and they have never failed to impress. Atmosphere is plesent, the menu is varied, food fresh and service impeccable.

Excellent meal. Superb well portioned food, wonderful ambiance great service. Party of 9 all meals served together! Brilliant. Highly recommend. We’ve found a new favourite!

I'm writing this review to say I have been coming to this restaurant for many years and have had some very fond memories with the service , food, and just to come and have a drink , But I don't really write reviews, but on this occasion I will , I dined in the evening with my friend , really looking forward to having a good evening , well we ordered the prawns to start , which came eventually and what a big disappointment,the prawns were totally over cooked , and looked limp, looked at each other and said sometimes chefs got this wrong , anyway ordered the wine went for the Riocha , my god the bottle came just placed no service,we opened and served ourself, my god I know times are hard , but to purchase a bottle @£25,...it was a insult it tasted like a bottle which they sell in Spain for a euro, Again very disappointing, our mains came I had the Involving di pollo, roast chicken breast with the trimmings, again dry breast it was just a waste , my friend had the Lasagne Al Forno, you might have just ordered burnt pasta bake just couldn't even look at it , called the assistant we said this food is totally unacceptable, the wine is vinegar, to cut a long story we got our coats and left with disgust .just a very big shame to one of the best hidden resteraunts which we will never come back to ,

Lovely experience. First visit and will definitely return. A little issue with one dish but staff were quick to deal with no dramas. Great food, lovely atmosphere, reasonably priced. Will definitely return

Lovely little restaurant, great food at reasonable prices for a city centre restaurant. Good service from friendly staff

Beautiful food, great prices, lovely staff. 10/10 best place to eat in Nottingham.

My first visit, came recommended by a friend. Lovely restaurant, with excellent friendly and very helpful service. Top marks to the chef and also to the two table servers who could not do enough to make our lunch time experience the best it could be. I have booked again with different friends for next week, as the food was so delicious!

I haven’t been to Dino since before lockdown so thought I’d book again. I reserved a table for 6.00 on Saturday evening and we arrived a little early but our table was ready. The service and the food were good and really good value for money. By 6.30 the place had filled up and it was very noisy. They had seated a table of 4 at the side of us and my husband was “penned in”. You could see the lady on the other table felt awkward, it wasn’t her fault but it’s not good having to ask her to literally get up and vacate her chair so that he could get out from the table. I would definitely visit again but earlier, say around 5.00 as the amount of customers and noise when we left made me feel uncomfortable.

Dino's is a wonderful restruant and now one of favourite spots for lunch in Nottingham. There fresh pasta dishes are fantastic, and the lunch menu is excilently thought out and priced. Portion sizes are large and filling and the food tastes amazing.

Food is good and portions are generous with the pasta. I would have enjoyed a bit more duck to be honest but it was nice.

Excellent,highly recommend this place great staff,great food and great service

Date night with my partner mid week to one of our favourite restaurants, we have spent some wonderful nights here and enjoyed amazing food excellent service for many years. Usually we had to book a week in advance to dine there so I was most...

Great food and lovely atmosphere. Staff are very friendly.

Do yourself a favour and visit this lovely place. 5 star service.The food is absolutely amazing – Absolutely the best seafood pasta we ever had . Highly recommend!

Went to Dino with 11 other people, including children, never dissapoints great meal, excellent service from friendly helpful staff.

Couldn’t fault this place. Lovely setting, cool music, boozy cocktails, tasty food and fantastic staff all of this at a great price. Highly recommend it 🤩

Great food, good friendly service

The food here was delicious! Cocktails here were very cheap and reasonable. The food portions were large and tasted great. Staff were lovely, I would highly recommend.

Food: 4 of 5 Price: ££ Service: 4 of 5 Good atmosphere and good food portion. Food: Way 4 and not 5... Tomato sauce!!! The tomato sauce flavour feels canny. French fries with Lasagna.? 🤔 The eggplant dish was really good..! 😀

I just thought I would review again as it’s years now since we first discovered this place & it deserves an updated review. I rate this as my number 1 place to visit for drinks & food. Both my husband & myself rate it as...

The food was absolutely fantastic, the aesthetic was on par. The place had a feel of history with the way the walls are plastered with framed pictures. My only problem with the place was actually the customers, you can't tell if the place is a pub or a restaurant, you could be having a nice meal for two, romantic meal and just on your left if a drunk party of 6 laughing and shouting at the top of their lungs. Overall the food was beautiful so it's a win.

Excellent food, service and cocktails. fabulous atmosphere in great surroundings x love this place

Great food. Definitely recommend

First time eating there after a recommendation. Great cosy décor. Staff really helpful. Ate off the lunch menu. Lasagne super, chips the same, and I really liked the haddock. Pricing pretty reasonable for Notts centre also. Will definitely return.

Very pleasant experience. Will be back

Beautiful and cosy. Helpful staff, lovely food and gluten free options appreciated.

Great service from a polite, professional Team, we were greeted with a smiles from the moment we entered. We all had the specials which were delicious (Roast Beef x2 and Seafood Linguine Marinara). Definitely Definitely recommend this hidden treasure in Nottingham City Centre.

Myself and the wife took mother out for lunch, we had soup of the day very nice ,wife had the lasagna and we had the roast lamb, very tasty and very generous portions. Staff were very friendly and helpful, a lovely cosy restaurant well worth...

It's one of those places if you wanted to impress somebody in a new relationship, Excellent food & a good atmosphere

Been coming here for a while now. Food is always delicious and the cocktails are great especially the espressotini ! The servers are all so friendly! Will be coming back.

The food was absolutely awful… I don’t understand how people have reviewed the food and praised how good it is. The beef ragu was literally a pile of slop on a plate, I would’ve rather had a school dinner than what was presented in front of me. If you have any standard whatsoever when it comes to food, then do not eat here!

We’ve been coming to Dinos for years for drinks and cocktails. Today we decided to try the lunch menu - fabulous, beautiful food and service : I had the chicken and wild mushroom pasta and partner had the chicken in a cream sauce. Lovely venue...

Great atmosphere, nice service, pasta a little bit stodgy !

First time here and wont be the last ,food fantastic good size portions great price and superb waitress service
