DINO'S Italian Cafe Lounge Stanley Common in Erewash

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.

Become a bit of a regular in Dino's over the last 5 years. Great atmosphere, food and drinks. Staff always pleasant and adds to the experience. Can't be faulted to be honest

We have been for a family meal here today on the recommendation of my Brother and wife.We met up with them and had a lovely meal. The food was excellent, Its a little Gem.The staff was so polite and nothing was to much trouble for them Everything was perfect.Thank you

Lovely looking place, bar area is especially nice. Seating wasn't great in the restaurant though. I was sat at a table that meant my seat encroached on the stairs between the bar / ladies toilets and the restaurant so I had to shift my chair a few times and deal with coats and bags knocking against me. We ended up shifting the table back a little but we couldn't move it too much as there were people in the corner behind us. Staff came across as uninterested & not smiley at all.Food was mediocre. Two of us had lasagne which was clearly home made but tasted like a frozen meal. Also the mayo that we were given was really funny which might seem a bit silly to mention but is there anything worse than poor mayo when it comes to condiments? 😆My other friend ordered the stuffed chicken breast from the specials board. It was a huge breast stuffed with thick slices of English ham which was a bit odd. It came with a 1/3 of a plate of very pale fries (or Frys according to the chalkboard) and a pile of undercooked carrot chunks. It did not make for an attractive plate. We did all agree the twice cooked chips were nice though.Overall, it didn't make us want to go back.

Good food friendly Staff. Good value for money

I have eaten at Dinos 3 times ,the food is always very good and nicely cooked. The vibe is always relaxed and a pleasure to their , all the staff are attentive and friendly. I will definitely be back thank you.

Our favourite go to restaurant in Nottingham.The food is very good.All freshly cooked to order and they always have some great daily specials.Good food at a very reasonable price.Highly recommend a visit if your in town and support independent businesses.

Loved it! The food was great and the services was just as amazing.It was my first time there. I was walking past, hungry and randomly decided to eat there. The ambiance is very nice in the bar and in the dining area.My server Chloe made excellent recommendations that I truly enjoyed; Broccoli & Stilton soup to start and the Beef Lasagna for my main dish. Along with a nicely paired red wine.I will definitely be back. Get place for a date!
