Dino's Grill

Some of the best homemade Italian food can be found right here at Dino’s. It’s hard to choose our favorite dish(es) but we do tend to go for the lasagna and shrimp fettuccine most of the time. Atmosphere is wonderfully old school…and quiet. I can actually hear myself having a conversation with my companions…not blaring music. The staff are friendly and attentive!

You want a real Italian experience in Memphis? Look no further! Dino’s makes you feel like you really are in Italy. The family has been here since the late 1800’s, and they bring that old world feel with southern hospitality that is so authentic. I had the Italian salad, and it just exploded with flavor. Can’t wait to come back and try their other offerings; someone next to me ordered the lasagna and it looked divine. I can’t recommend this place enough!

How much more iconic can you get than having the street where your restaurant is bear the family name. Been here many times. Thursday night is all you can eat spaghetti if you’re looking to pig out. Great real Italian food anytime. Very old school. Owner at the cash register and the wait staff are either family or adoptees. Try and leave room for desert. It will be tough. Enjoy.

This family-owned Italian gem has been a local favorite for years. It’s not trendy or flashy—just a cozy, old-school eatery with a welcoming vibe. We kicked things off with ravioli and mozzarella sticks, both classic and satisfying. If you’re visiting on a Thursday, be prepared for a crowd—their all-you-can-eat spaghetti deal is a big draw (and they don’t take reservations that day). I went for the spaghetti with meatballs, which felt like a warm, home-cooked meal—simple, comforting, and no-frills. For dessert, we sampled the tiramisu, cannoli, and key lime cake. They were decent but didn’t quite steal the show.

Midtown staple with classic Italian dishes. Eggplant dishes have crunch and flavor with thin crispy slices. Pasta is solid. Italian spinach is perfectly prepared. Even the burger is excellent with fresh cut fries. Ended the night with a tiramisu but had to take it home since we were so stuffed. It's in the tops for sure. Cozy diner atmosphere and super friendly staff and owner.
