Dino’s Trattoria is more than just a restaurant; it’s a beloved institution in Lonehill, with a rich
history spanning over three decades.
For years, it has been a cornerstone of the community, where families have celebrated
milestones, friends have gathered over authentic Italian meals, and loyal patrons have found
comfort in its warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The restaurant’s commitment to tradition, quality, and a family-oriented dining experience
has fostered deep connections with its customers, making it a cherished dining destination.
When Paula and Dave, long-time regulars, decided to acquire Dino’s Trattoria, they did so
out of a genuine love for what the restaurant represents.
Their vision is rooted in preserving the essence of Dino’s—its authenticity, charm, and
dedication to quality—while infusing new life into the trattoria.
They have undertaken the task of modernising the interior, updating the furniture and kitchen
equipment, and fitting a new bar, all while ensuring that the heart and soul of Dino’s remain
intact.
Their goal is to restore Dino’s to its former glory and beyond, offering an even better
experience for both longtime patrons and new visitors alike.

Under new management, Dino's is impressive in every way.I have had two "Lunchtime Specials," and both were excellent.Recently, I had 'roast lamb', and this was very good.

My husband and I were out shopping with our newborn when he started crying because his formula was too cold. I rushed into Dino's and asked the barista if they could help warm up the bottle. Without even a second thought, they just said, "No, we don't have a microwave," and left it at that. No offer to help in any other way, no empathy… nothing.The place itself feels just as cold and uninviting as the staff. It’s dark, cramped, and honestly, I don’t know how anyone enjoys spending time there. Thankfully The Daily Coffee next door was a different story. They quickly gave me a container of warm water to heat the bottle, and our baby was able to eat peacefully.With such dismissive service and a gloomy atmosphere, I’m surprised Dino's is still around. This isn’t the kind of place that our community needs.

A very laid-back diner, with a huge positive atmosphere. Must congratulate the manager for his extra effort and friendly attitude. The staff are all on top of their game and extremely helpful. The food is amazing and the price is very fair. I will definitely continue to support Dino's

Had my Son's 21st at Dino's. What a fantastic evening. Rodrick, the manager, was an absolute gem in helping with the logistics. Dave and Paula, your staff rock. The service was outstanding, and the food was simply delicious.A massive thankyou to you and your staff for making my Son's birthday such a memorable event.

Good food with ample parking. The service was excellent. Will definitely visit them again.
Had a wonderful time at Dino’s.On Monday’s they have half price on all their pizza, which was yum as was the service too, the vegetarian pizza was super delicious.I’d say it’s a win.
