Had a wonderful experience at Dinos. I ordered a Black mushroom starter, it was prepared to perfection. Main course was Oxtail and it was heavenly, meat was so soft and tasty, it melted in my mouth! Please do yourself a favor and pay them a visit!

We love Dinos; a little gem in Lonehill. They always have a daily menu, besides their standard menu. Food is absolutely delicious. If you want to go to an unpretentious relaxing grown up Italian restaurant with good food, - service and a varied wine list Dinos is highly recommended.

Dinos is a charming Italian restaurant with a delicious menu. Reasonably priced. Fresh ingredients, generous portions. I had a calamari starter with plat bread and garlic butter. My husband had a starter pancake with duck. Fresh Kabeljou with crispy fries- delicious. Service was brilliant. Owners welcomed us. We will be back soon.

Dinos was a regular haunt of mine many years ago, but I moved to the Cape so I havent been there for at least 12 years, until last week. And I wasnt disappointed. Same owner, that tells you something. Great pizzas, great service.

Went for the Monday 50% off pizza special that have for lunch. Both of us ordered the Dinos special (Yes, thats the name of the pizza - It contains Cheese, tomato, salami, onions, peppadews, green peppers & olives), and it was pretty good and decent size. As the pizza cooled down the cheese went rubbery so dont expect to enjoy it when its cold.

Just a really great family friendly restaurant with some great food. The chicken or veal schnitzel is unbeatable. Caesar salad to die for. Some amazing seafood for everyone to enjoy. You have to stay for the dessert to!

Such a lovely place & such a great atmosphere. Service was remarkable & food was divine! Absolutely loved this place especially all the art pieces & phrases displayed on the walls. It has a type of old school set up & that is my favourite! Will definitely be back for more!

This is a good place for a quiet and personal dinner with family or a date. The atmosphere is unpretentious, warm and honest. The service by the waiters is slightly slow, but I prefer it that way; you need to sit down, relax and slowly sip on time at this place.The chicken liver starter was superb and even though their pizzas are somewhat simple, it did not disappoint. The wines are a bit unreasonably priced, but at least the house wine is very good quality (Boschendal). We will definitely go back.

2 Things. 1 this place is next level expensive. I am talking mad expensive. Average R400 per person. 2 the food is amazing. The menu may at times feel limited, however they do what they do well. Service is fine. I am however worried, alegedly the waitrons pay a commission on their tips when you pay via card.
