About this business
Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to remove the stilettos and formal jackets from your wardrobe. This old town treasure is elegant and chic and the perfect example of a pre-theater restaurant. The golden walls and the wooden floors make the décor welcoming and fancy, while the uncomplicated menu makes guests feel right at home. Try the pastas in different sauces or go for the thin and crispy pizzas with toppings of your choice. The non-adventurous can stick to the chicken dishes and maybe order one of the wholesome sal... read more

Terrible food. Period. – The food was terrible. Chicken balsamic was soaked in it. The chicken was over cooked. The potatoes were way overcooked to the extent they tasted stale. The waiter didn't bring any bread out and pretended to be italian, which was kind of stupid. I would say, save your money, go to the chipolte across the street. This place was some terrible italian food. I created this profile just to let people know because it was that BAD.
dinner at dinottos – As a huge fan of salmon, I try it in virtually every restaurant we visit. This was the first time that i was ever served burned and dried up salmon, which actually was so dry and black that it stuck to the parchment paper. I would have sent it back but no waiters came around until it was time to pay the bill. Service was very slow and non-communicative.
Nice atmosphere and service, but serious lack of flavor – Dinotto's started out promising - quick and friendly service, clean and romantic atmosphere, and tasty bread with a pesto butter. The good stops there. Our appetizers were average at best - eggplant parm drowned in cheese with minimal sauce and caprese salad (pretty hard to mess up) that was a very small serving for the price. Our entrees were dreadfully bland. The "crispy risotto with shrimp" was basically a rice ball in brick shape form with shrimp in a very dull ru... read more
Best Wine and Dine – Ok, I read some of these "poor reviews" and I wonder if they're done by other restaurant employees in the area. I've been to Dinotto's on and off on many occasions, over the course of the past 3 years and I must say that this is a great place, be it winter or summer. The food is excellent. The atmosphere is great, the drinks are wonderful and the servers are friendly. We recently went to celebrate my sister's birthday and we dined al fresco. My sister absolutely loved her birthday dinner. And the owners ... read more
AWFUL FOOD AND SERVICE - Sept. 7, 2008 – I was last at Dinotto in the winter. When walking out of the restaurant then I said to myself "I probably won't be coming back." It was so-so and there are so many choices around that I can avoid the "so-so" places. Last night a friend came into town unexpectedly and she wanted to go to Dinotto. So off we went. The restaurant was not packed, in fact I was surprised to see the staff / owners sitting down at the bar - taking up prime space. In any event, we were immediately welcomeed an... read more
50 - 50 Chance – It's unfortunate that the service at this restaurant is slow, because the food is great. I came on a Wednesday night, with reservations made, and while they promptly sat us at a lovely table outside - the gnats and flies immediately came to join my date and I for our meal. Be sure to wear insect repellent, or at least bring some to spray around you if you are seated near the gate facing the street. While the slow service didn't bother us (we had time to waste that evening), the fact that the "bottled waters"... read more
Great Food and Best Tiramisu ! – My wife and I wandered into this restaurant on a cold thursday night - we had good service and the food was great. We're definitely going back. She ordered the veal milanes (?) and i have their "famous" lasagna which was really delicious. For dessert we ordered the Tiramisu. We consider ourselves Tiramisu experts and I believe we just had the best Tiramisu ever outside Italy!
a gift cert. is not a promotion – My wife and I went to Dino Lubbat?s restaurant, Dinotto?s, in our neighborhood on a Wednesday evening. We were delighted to hear about their ? price wine that night. When the bill came, I presented the waiter with our $75 gift certificate, at which point he explained that Dinotto?s policy doesn?t allow gift certificates to be used on promotional nights (the ? price wine). Keep in mind, our gift certificate was not a coupon or some other promotion ? my parents paid Dinotto?s $75 for this gift... read more
Simply the Best! – Dinotto is quite simply the best that Chicago has to offer! I have been dining at Dinotto since it first opened years ago and every visit is a delicious and memorable one! The food is outstanding -- and the menu offers an excellent range of traditional Italian entrees and more creative dishes as well! Their grilled calamari appetizer is unparalleded and make sure to leave room for dessert because after seeing the dessert menu, you'll find yourself ordering "one of each!" Right along side the outstanding cu... read more
