Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
Greek Cuisine
Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.
For those who don't have time to enjoy fine dining should try tasting the famous souvlaki with pita which is type of meat dish, also a trademark Greek fast food. For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.

We stopped in a few nights ago with a taste for some Greek food, looking for something new with a sit down atmosphere. The Atmospere isn't anything special, typical, stripmall restaurant, however the service was friendly and attentive and kept my iced tea topped off. I ordered the gyro plate, it came with fingerling potatos, pilaf style rice, and fresh veggies, oh and I almost forgot the mountain of Gyro meat on a huge pita with plenty of tzatziki. it even came with soup or salad. The food was good, the vegetables were fresh, the gyro was more than filling. and reasonably priced. I didn't order desert but my mother in law who was with us did, normally she guilts me to help finish her desserts, but I said not this time, she guilted me into a bite though which was a very tasty bite though. it's not in our immediately neighborhood, but I would come back.

We spent $46.08 on a calamari entree, a lamb shanks entree, and a glass of red wine. We got plenty of food that was fresh and tasty. The calamari was tender. I liked its saltiness, but some people might have found that overwhelming. You'll feel like in you're New Jersey or on the Island (as in Long) again.

We are new to the area and decided to go eat at Picazzo's Organic Italian Kitchen in Goodyear this past weekend. Unfortunately it has closed due to the economy. We have eaten at the Surprise location several times and loved it. We noticed Dino's across the way from Picazzo's and decided to try them out. It was nothing special. Drinks were the only thing that was good..... We will not go there again!!!!!
(1)Stacey H.
I had the Gyro Pita and it was delicious. My husband picked it up and brought it home, complained it was a bit slow but other then that clean. My only real complaint is the french fries were terrible! Tasted like they had been left over and re cooked to heat up. Will try again but not the fries!
(4)Mr R.
It was average food, very salty, and the staff were friendly but service was terrible. Had to wait forever for food - there were only two tables with people in the restaurant.
(2)Dan T.
Tried the chicken and lamb sowlaki (skewers). Both were great, came with lemon potatoes, rice and veggies with soup or salad. Veggies could have been cooked longer, kinda hard but next time I will ask to cook longer. My wife tried the bolognese and added meatballs and she really enjoyed it. Went back again later in the week and tried the Gyro's........excellent. Desserts are pretty good too. Will be back again for sure........highly recommend. Service was very good too.
(5)Michael W.
One of my favorites. Always good food and service... Prices are fair. Try their Pizza and then have some Baklava!
(4)Eric B.
Very new and clean. Ok food. Gyro is like $15 (dinner) and at first impression looks huge. Until you realize under the gyro meat is a huge mound of shredded romaine. Never had lettuce served on a gyro. Way overpriced for what this food is. Good greek gyros all over the valley for half the price. Wife had Italian, again ok, but we could have went to oreganos for much better food and paid less. The service was absolutely terrible.
(1)Trina M.
I love Dino's! My favorites are Spaghetti Myzithra, Fettucine Carbonara, Spanakopita, Fish & Chips, Greek Fries, Garlic Prawns, Tzatziki, Calamari, Lamb Chops.....Geez, too many to mention. Last but not least, their Tiramisu is yummy! Great authentic food and great ambiance. In the owner's defense from a previous review, he is very meticulous (and takes great pride...well-deserved pride) in every aspect of his food and restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant.
(5)Ed E.
Great neighborhood eatery. We eat here all the time! We really like the Greek and Italian food, but last time we tried the steak special - what a great surprise! Best steak in town, who knew? The owner is always present , the food is great and the service friendly. This is the best restaurant in the area, by far.
(5)John V.
This has always been one of my favorite places since moving to Goodyear. It is nice to have a personal touch from the owner. Peter is involved in some communtiy events, but you will often find him chatting with the guests or in the back cooking. As for the food, I must say I am stuck on their Gyro sandwich or Gyro platter. My son and I visited Dino's yesterday for lunch and the Gyro is packed and he loves that pita pizza.. I usually get the greek salad. It is a tasty salad, but strayed yesterday with the fries, shhhh! I have been here many times. Well I am listed as the mayor on 4sq/Twitter. I will mention that sometimes Peter has trouble with staff 9getting good ones), but he has some mainstays in the restaurant that are good and fast, such as yesterday. There have been times though that I have gotten frustrated. The food has always been good, so I allow the annoying wait in lieu of a tasty meal.
(4)Amber G.
Went back with some friends to have lunch...had the gyro special for $5.95 (included fries). This was delicious....service was good this time, but my friends knew most of the employees.

The food was just ok. We ordered the Greek platter for 2. We weren't overwhelmed with the flavors and didn't think it was a very good value at the price. There were lots of sauces but only 2 pieces of pita and we had to pay for more. We were also there for happy hour but did not want to sit at the bar for dinner or sit outside in the cold. We wanted to be comfortable so we sat at a table where I could reach over and pull on a bar chair. The restaurant was empty except us, but they wouldn't give me a beer for happy hour price because I wasn't sitting in the bar. Really? I guess three feet makes all the difference. Ok I'll just have water. I don't know why some restaurants have this inane policy. The restaurant is EMPTY. I can see the server deflate every time I order water instead.

Best eggplant parm in the west valley.
(4)David D.
I had the gyro and the meat was good, the pita fresh. They skimped on the tzatziki sauce and the red onion was chopped rather than julienne style, so they kept tumbling out of the pita. The served steak fries, which was big bummer for me as I prefer the thin fries. However, I overheard another customer asking about the "old" thin fries, and they are coming back. I will get it a go again in a few weeks and try in again.
(3)Chad R.
Amazing food. Great service. Love the atmosphere.
(5)L M.
I loved this place. Great atmosphere, the owner came to our table the first time we ate there, but not the second. The gyro meat is excellent-so good! The wait staff is very friendly and prompt! The patio is nice to eat at when weather permits!
(4)Eric G.
Great food, nice and comfortable place to have a great lunch or dinner.. great staff and service is excellent.
(4)Kelly C.
This restaurant used to be 5 minutes from my house, so I was a regular before they moved. I was a little disappointed when they relocated because it's a longer drive. I finally decided to check out their new spot. It was well worth the extra driving time. My favorite item on the menu, the Greek Salad, is even better than it was before. Everything tasted very fresh, with crisp dark green lettuce. The calamatta olives and feta were also better than ever. Yum! I'm looking forward to going back...I may even try something else on the menu this time!
(5)Jean S.
Delicious Greek Food. They have the best gyro pita sandwich in town.
(4)Scott M.
Definitely one of our favorite restaurants. The gyros are the best!
(5)Jamie A.
We decided to go all out and ordered the Greek Platter for Two. It begins with the Greek salad, which was simple, but the dressing was thick and tart, just perfect! The platter arrived on an enormous plate! The lamb shank falls off the bone, and it is sweet and succulent, just melting in your mouth. They supply ample Pita, Tzatziki and shaved gyro meat to create mini-gyros, and it is all supremely delicious. The hummus was fresh and refreshing, and the greek potatoes were sweet and salty. This was my first time trying Moussaka, and it was spicy (not hot) and flavorful with savory crust and meat inside. The rice was average, yet tasty. I can't honestly speak to the Spanakopita because this version had lemon in it (allergic!), and the same goes with the Dolmathes. We finished off our Valentine's Day dinner with dessert...chocolate mousse for my hubby, and Baklava for myself. I've never had Baklava that was sort of spicy, but this had a strange, clove-like taste to it. I prefer sweeter, so it wasn't my favorite, but someone else might like it quite a bit. Now that we've found it, we will definitely eat there again. The cost was very reasonable, the staff was friendly and fun, our waitress was attentive without being annoying, the music was perfect Greek dance music, and even the owner stopped by to chat with us. I look forward to going back and trying more dishes.
(5)Art J.
Not a lot of Greek Restaurants in my area, so I was delighted to discover this out of the way place. Good food, reasonable prices, and friendly staff. Nice little place.
(4)Dave M.
My wife and I went there last night for the first time and we will go back again soon. The service was a little slow, but not annoyingly so. We both ordered Greek and it was excellent and plentiful. My wife had the lamb and it was tender and cooked to perfection. I had the moussaka and it was delicious. Because this was our first time there, the owner comped our baklava. Barely had room, but glad I ate it. Next time we'll try the Italian food. If you are looking for a locally-owned, reasonably priced dining experience, then try Dino's. You will not be disappointed!

My parents went to this place shortly after it opened. During their meal, their waitress went into the back, grabbed her coat, and walked out the front door. So, yes, their waitress quit during her shift. (Makes you wonder what my parents are like, eh? Hehe.) My parents enjoyed the food, though, so they decided to take me and my brother there to give the place another chance. We started w/the appetizer platter, which had dolmades (grape leaves), baba ghannoush (eggplant dip), hummus, tzatziki (yogurt dip), spanikopita (spinach and feta pie), meatballs, and maybe another thing or two I don't remember. It was all served w/pita. The huuuuge platter was more than enough as an appetizer for the four of us (although my dad didn't eat too much). Dill is a prominent player on the platter, spiking the tzatziki and even the hummus (a nice tough, as garlic is usually the overwhelming flavor). I don't typically like spanikopita, as I find feta too salty, but the spanikopita at Dino's wasn't heavy on the feta, leaving the pouch of pastry flaky and delicious instead of salty and inedible. Looooved the spanikopita enough that I'm still thinking about it, a week later... The pita was served in small wedges, and it seemed pretty bottomless based on the fact that our waitress kept bring out more for us. It didn't taste like authentic pita bread that they actually baked in the back. It wasn't actually pocket bread, but was rather thick and kind of spongy. But hey, this is Phoenix. Can you find *real* pita out here, anyway? My mom and I split the lamb souvlaki, which was two skewers of lamb chunks served w/rice, potatoes, and vegetables. The dish was just right for the two of us, and we even had a bit left over. The lamb was not gamy in the least, and the charred outside went perfectly well with the pink inside. This lamb was treated right. The sides are nothing special, but the roasted potatoes are prepared well and are flavorful. My brother had some sort of roasted lamb, which was also prepared just right. It too lacked the gaminess lamb can sometimes have. His lamb was tender w/a consistency almost like brisket. It was served w/the same sides as the souvlaki. My dad, unadventurous eater that he is, opted for the Veal marsala. He said the mushrooms were "cut just right" (that is, sliced fairly thinly--he hates when button mushrooms are simply plopped in). The spaghetti on the side comes w/meat sauce, but my dad opted for the marinara instead. The man had nothing left on his plate, so I take it he enjoyed his food! Our waitress was great. She joked around w/us and had a fun sense of humor. She answered our questions and was sure to keep our water glasses filled. Prices are very reasonable. I think the souvlaki was somewhere around $10, while the appetizer platter was maybe $12-15. The four of us ate for $80, which included a very generous tip. Plus, we had leftovers of the appetizer platter, the souvlaki, and the roasted lamb. The fact that my parents live on the boring side of the Valley kinda sucks, but I'm thankful that Dino's is just a five-minute ride from their house, as good Greek food is hard to come by.

Although I feel bad for having to say it, because the owner is really nice, this place is pretty underwhelming. The decor is nice, albeit a bit generic, but the service, food and drinks are less than mediocre. Starting with service: admittedly the place has only been open a couple months, but the waitress (really young girl) seemed to be more concerned with checking out the busboy than serving. Had to ask for a water 3 times when she kept returning to the table without it, she told us one of the sauces was a vegetarian brown sauce--but when we asked the owner (who brought out the food) she said it was a red sauce with meat. The drinks at the bar were REALLY weak, but priced pretty decently and the food was pretty good. Based solely on food, they probably would have gotten 3.5 stars, but service and drinks brought it down to 2. The chicken marsala was good, but skip the spaghetti that comes with it, try for a different side because the sauce tasted really old. Word on the street is the Greek side of the menu is much better than the Italian, unfortunately I went with the latter. Perhaps, as with most new restaurants, with time and fine tuning things will get better. Let's hope so.

The place feels nice, the people are nice. The food sucks.

Used to enjoy going to Dino's until they recently changed their menu. The Veal Scallopine has been deleted as has the Seafood Penne (which they will make for you, on request), our favorites. It was indicated that the cost of veal is now prohibitive, although they have added an expensive veal chop to the menu. As a alternative to the scallopine, I tried the Calamari dinner. The calamari was not very good. There was little calamari with much coating and it was overcooked, tasteless other than the oil in which it was deep fried. Could not eat it. The waiter failed to acknowledge when removing the plate, although the hostess earlier offered a doggie box (declined). I have had the gyros platter which is not bad, although for the price, it is a skimpy serving. All in all, it seems the quality and portions have fallen off and the prices increased in order to attempt to survive during these hard economic times.Will drive further to get better.

I absolutly love this place. It's family owned. The owners are there everytime i have come in for lunch or dinner. They really care about their customers and the quality of the food!! I even see the owner jump into the kitchen and actually start cooking himself!!! This place has a cute little patio where i can enjoy the weather, the sunset over the mountains and have some drinks with my friends. what else could you ask for. you say great service; well there is no doubt that Dino's has this as well. An all around great place. if you have never been here, stop by... you won't regret it.
(5)Katie L.
Ok! Enough People, first things first! It's a FAMILY owned restaurant HELLO people if your looking for a chain go down the way to applebee's or something. I absolutely love this place I try to go at least once a week. Ya the service can be kinda slow on a Friday or Saturday. By the way you picked FRIDAY AND SATURDAY!! The busiest time to go to dinner of course your going to wait for awhile. My suggestion is that you ask for the tall guy server with glasses he has been the best server when we go. The others are pretty new so give them a chance to get adjusted. On the food side, I found the food to be awesome I order the same thing every time the Gyro and Greek salad which I found to be really awesome don't forget the Blue Moon, Best Gyro in Town!. So my recommendation is that if you want a family owned not a chain cozy and buzzing with people and have no agenda than I highly recommend going.
(5)Sarah D.
I enjoy coming here for lunch. I try to come weekly. I've been coming to Dino's for years. Even when they used to be located on wigwam & Indian school. They're portions are large and the pricing is decent. The only downside is you can tell when a different chef is on staff. The food always tastes great, but sometimes the presentation is off.
(5)Marc E.
The food and atmosphere is really nice. The Greek Fries are really good and so are the Gyro's. Really fresh tasting food and they really deliver on service and quality.
(5)Kristen R.
My husband and I went here for dinner on a Friday night a few weeks ago. The restaurant was maybe 1/4 full the whole time we were there. We shared some "Greek fries" to start and then shared a pizza. I also got a side salad and my husband had a bowl of soup. Nothing we ordered was very good. Service was average. We like to try different places in our area but this is one place we will not be returning to.
(2)Nicole P.
I almost laughed when I looked at the prices on the menu. They have Yardhouse prices for Walmart deli looking food (not trying to be mean). The salad was warm & wilted and when I ordered a glass of wine, there were these small jelly looking balls in it, not quite sure what it was, but I didn't want to risk drinking it. I lost my appetite before dinner.
(1)Rob L.
Pretty good + huge portions Visited Dino's with some family in town. Greek salads were not all that Mediterranean, but still yummy. Pretty much everyone in our group went with the Gyro Platter, which is HUGE! None of us was able to finish everything on it. The gyro meat is what you expect, pita bread was soft and warm, and the rice was rich. The waitress was really pleasant, though we went stretches without visits. She was handling the entire restaurant and four larger groups were there counting ours. I'm sure she would have been more attentive if there were another wait person. Not remarkable, but still a good spot for a Greek meal in the Avondale/Goodyear area. And if you're looking for lots of food for your dollar, this is definitely a place to visit.
(3)Lucky T.
The good: Great bartender and great service. Cute place. Ok food--but not great food for Greek-Italian. The bad: Ironically, I am Greek and Italian, so have some expertise at this one. The lasagna...really? It is a bowl full of lasagna noodles, soggy with tons of cheese melted and some relatively bland marinara. The avgolemono soup is basically chicken and rice with a filler added to stretch it. Not much lemon flavor in it either. I've had better...hell, I've made better. And the tiramisu--which is made there--was great but where was the liquor flavor that tiramisu is supposed to be soaked in? All in all, I probably would never go back--unless it was for some fantastic appetizers at really good prices we had there first. Now that's why you go to this place: the appetizers and the bar = excellent. The dinner food rates a "meh" from me. Sorry...but I'll give it a 4 star cause the bartender was so great and the appetizers were wonderful looking.
(4)Tall D.
Came with the wife for Valentine's dinner. We started with calamari. It came hot and very fresh. I think the oil they cooked it in was not very hot as it was very oily. We both ordered the special; new york strip and lobster. The house salad dressing is very good. The dinner arrived. My plate was swiming in a clear liquid but my wife's was not. This had the effect of turning my mashed potatoes into a mash. The steak was under seasoned and the lobster was perfect. The desert was cheese cake with raspberry sauce. Wow was that good! The staff is very friendly and service is fast. Will give them another try for the greek food.
(3)Sabrina B.
My son and I loved it! The pizza was authentic Italian, yes I've been to Italy. I had the Tuscany pasta. The sauce was very flavorful and meats were tender. We can't wait to stop by for more.
(4)Michael P.
I saw the Yelp reviews and decided to try Dino's Greek and Italian Grill. The real driver for me was seeing that they had stuffed grape leaves, stuffed with meat. Most everywhere else I've tried only has the vegetarian version. My family made stuffed grape leaves when I was growing up, and it's one of my favorite dishes. We called it yabra, the Greeks call it dolma or variations of that word. The recipe I grew up eating has beef, lamb, rice and tomato sauce as the primary ingredients of the filling, wrapped in a grape leaf. Dino's version has beef and rice, and some sort of lemon juice or something. It was very good, and I'll go back for it again. I don't think it's nearly as good as the version with tomato sauce, but it's still better than any others I've found in a long time. I also had a lamb gyro. The meat was nicely cooked, and the portion size is about the same as most gyro's. The meat was in rather large chunks for a sandwich, and I ended up using a knife and fork to cut it into smaller pieces. The flavor was excellent. Service was excellent. The same person seated me and was my server. There was only a small lunch crowd, maybe 4 or 5 tables. She was attentive without being a pest, courteous, and got everything right. I'll be back to try some of their other dishes.
(4)Vanessa K.
Very happy with the food and service here! Got the chicken souvlaki and it was delicious! The pita bread was so fresh and the chicken was very moist. The French fries were also amazing!
(5)Joy G.
Our first time here.. I was expecting much! Wow what a pleasant surprise. There were 5 of us and we all loved what we ordered. I had a Greek Pizza and every tasted it and loved it. MIL had lasagna loved it, hubby had meat Pizza and loved it. SIL had Gyro and loved it! It was huge. BIL had chicken skewer (can't remember the name. He raved about it. Waitress was great, the owner came over to see where we were from.. Very pleasant man.

Reserved a table for Valentine's day for 7:30. When we arrived it was 7. We checked in with the crypt keeper, she snapped at me when I told her my name and what time I had reservations. Well I blew her of as I knew she was stressed. She had walk in diners and diners with reservations. I watched her take some crap from a walk up diners (6 people)with no reservations. Guess she knew she would make some fast cash off of big parties, 2 people parties like mine are not huge money makers. They Broke her balls, begging to be sat, she caved sat them, and forced people with reservations to continue waiting. When our 7:30 on the button time came, she freaked out as there was my reservation and another couple waiting at the same time. She offered a table in the middle of the room, that was very high traffic, she very bluntly said "take it or leave it, I won't force you to to stay". I let the other couple that walked in behind me take that table, I INFORMED the hostess that I will wait for a table that is away from hustling wait staff and patrons leaving. We eventually were seated. The atmosphere is that of a chuck cheese for old snow birds. A group of 10 or more snow birds took all the tables in the center of the room. Loud and drunk on their vodka tonics and heart meds, and smelling of hemroid cream, they were out of control. I was expecting a nice romantic dinner at a greek, medeteranian cuisine restaurant. I had to text my date in order to talk to her. Honestly I don't remember how the food tasted, we ordered the steak and lobster special. Our server was nice, she came by when she could (drop off drinks and drop off check) the rest of the time I don't know where she was. If you are going to put on a huge valentine's night dinner special, close the doors and allow reservation holders first pick. Sadly this place was chasing the dollar, allowing roudy retired adults to act like 3 year old drunks, place was to bright, drop the lighting to set the mood. I learned my lesson, next year Durants here I come. DINO'S can eat my ass, there is nothing remotely special about this garbage heap they call a restaurant. I also suspect the rude nasty hostess was the owner...anyone like that rocking an attitude and doesn't fear getting fired...has to be part owner or is banging the owner. So let me break it down for you Dino's. "YOU ARE FIRED"
(1)Penny Lane X.
A friend recommended Dino's to me. I'm glad I tried it. I'm picky about places I eat at. Gyro platter was delicious! Comes with rice and potatoes. Greek salad was delicious! The dressing tasted homemade. The tzatziki was really good too! Dinners are around $14. The portions are generous. Comes with a soup or salad, the salads come on a medium sized plate, not some tiny side plate. The ice water tasted fine. (I'm picky about my water!) Service was friendly and attentive. I will be back to try the lunch, because the prices are very reasonable for lunch here! I would recommend this place to a friend or stranger! I would eat here again, as long as it's consistent. Located next to Einstein Bagels.
(4)Liz R.
My salmon was perfection. The vegetables and rice were divine. Our service was good and we didn't have to wait too long for dinner on a weeknight. We will definitely go here as regulars.
(4)Jeny A.
My husband and I waited for a waiter to take our drink order at least 15 minutes. When we finally saw a waiter, he went to the next table who were just sat about 2 minutes prior. When we asked if he could take our order we were told to wait a minute more. Then we saw something extremely frightening. The waitress comes out with some plates and lights them up with fire. It would have been a good show but right underneath these burning plates was a small baby in high chair at the end of the table. Any small slip up and this could have ended very badly. Needless to say we walked out still hungry.

I like to go to restaurants and order the food that I can't easily make at home; you know either to complicated or difficult for my skill level. After ordering a meal here; I would have to say this place does not cut it at all. Everything I had here tasted like it was cheap ingredients just thrown together. I ordered the chicken cordon bleau and it was a cheap chicken patty topped with a couple slices of Canadian bacon and some cheese. Really makes you wonder if they know what the dish is supposed to look like let alone how it's supposed to taste. I won't be back; I tried something new and left feeling disappointed that I didn't go to Taco Bell instead.
(1)John E.
First time here, the food was great! The Fettuccini Carbona was out of this world. It's clean warm atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly. Definitely coming back for happy hour
(5)Amy C.
The best part about this place is the pita bread. It is warm, soft, and fresh. The hummus is way too garlic-y and the fried zucchini tasted like it was previously frozen. They have several vegetarian options. I had the Greek salad which was huge. The house dressing is good. There were way too many onions and not enough tomatoes for my taste. We skipped dessert since it looked like everything they had was in one of those rotating refrigerators you'd find in a cafeteria. It was a far drive but we were meeting friends who live in the west side. Unless we are out there again, we won't be back. If we are out there again, I think I would rather stick to Streets of New York.

I love Dino's!! I have been coming here for the past year and always have a wonderful experience. I have tried almost everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. Dino always takes the time to walk around and greet people. All the food is homemade. Dino will tell you how they are made himself!! The nasty comment about it being like Walmart food is crazy. And what real foodies would compare it to the yardhouse(gross, processed, overpriced) They obviously know nothing about food. Prices are a little high but it's because of the the huge portions. They have a $20 appetizer that would feed 4 people for dinner. It's actually my favorite thing on the menu. It's hard for me to read the awful mean comments from people who obviously have no class. Come try Dino's!! You will not be disappointed!!

I love that this is a small mom and pop place. The owner is always so nice, he comes to our table and asks how we are enjoying our food. The HAPPY HOUR drinks are a great deal, and the food is delicious... I highly recommend the DOLMADES... they are creamy and oh so tasty!

Very Good Greek food with a nice family atmosphere. I get a sense this place is family owned by the hospitality and time they take to explain the menu. Diner like atmosphere, outdoor seating and very clean. This very well may be the best restaurant (not just Greek) in Goodyear.

My husband and I would say that this place is one of our favorites but after tonight we will never go back !! We have never felt so disrespected anywhere and had a horrible experience. I'm truly saddened from this :(

Fun friendly place great bartender good food! Sydney loves the grape leaves! They are home made and wonderful. clam chowder? In a Greek- Italian restaurant?? Yes. I'm from New England and we make the best chowders in the world and I was hesitant so the barkeep Kristen said it was worth trying. She was right. It was good. Creamy and rich. My steak was a very nice 10oz strip. The Greek potatoes were excellent and veggies were too. Plenty of food for the price. Sydney had the salmon salad and she said it was really good! Service is above most in the area and is done by committee. Everyone is involved and welcoming.

Came here for dinner with 5 people this time, so hoping the experience was better. The food was good for me but on the pricey side for the amount of food I got. I got the baked pasta (Alfredo with chicken) and a piece of un-toasted bread. Two people from our group wanted the gyro meat well-well done. They said they could do it. When the gyro dinner plates came out, they looked like they were shaved off and served. We return 1 of the plates to make sure the meat was well done. It came back barely touching any heat. So the person in our group didn't eat all at. =( The service was friendly but lacking. Not sure if the server was not doing her job or was new at it?

Positive- service prompt, gyro meat in excellent. Neg- calamari horrible. Tasted half cooked with a hint of fish. Lemonade cold with not the typical city water flavor but actual sewer water taste. I didn't believe my Mom... But yes..very accurate description. Not coming back. Had to suck lemons to cleanse the palette

Great food, but go during lunch if you can it's a lot cheaper. Atmosphere was just ok but the food makes up for it

I made a yelp account for the sole purpose of reviewing this restaurant, I felt the need to warn others not to waste their money. So expensive, and the food is a 2 on a scale to 1 to 10. The rice taste like it's out of the box of Rice-A-Roni, even my infant wouldn't eat it. The potatoes were way overseasoned and after one bite you can't eat any more. The pizza was the worst pizza I've ever tasted, After reading positive reviews, I decided to go try this place out and boy was I disappointed.... The cheese was burnt so they covered it up with more cheese and burnt that too. The only positive thing I have to say is that the tazitki sauce was tasty...gyro meat was ok. Just okay, A total waste of $20. Smh

Saw a guy holding a sign on the corner of Dysart and McDowell advertising a Gyro deal and realized I had never seen the place before. Went in the next day and was seated quickly with a menu. Looked it over casually, knowing I already wanted to get a gyro since it seems difficult to find a good one in this part of town. Noticed they had calamari as an appetizer and ordered that with a gyro. The calamari was very good. A lot of places fry it to death and you end up with a chewy wad of batter. Theirs was excellent. The gyro was the 2nd best I've had in the valley, which is saying something considering how many I've tried and immediately forgotten. I will definitely be going back here again and it will likely be my go-to spot for gyros.

Great meal! We stopped here on a whim as we drove by and were pleasantly surprised. Our night began as an adventure across the phoenix metro area to Pei Wei to get one of their amazingly scrumptious looking lettuce wraps. When we arrived they informed us they were out of the pork and my boyfriend was so disappointed he insisted we leave and go somewhere else. Our date night was clearly off to a good start. As we drove away crushed we noticed a sign for Greek and Italian food and decided to give it a try. First thing I ordered was a pomegranate margarita - one was enough to get me buzzed! :) The hummus was amazing, pita was fresh and delicious. I ordered the salmon which was perfectly cooked! It came with the tomato basil soul which was drool worthy! My date ordered the gyro plate and it was so good he forgot all about the Pei Wei fiasco. The portions were large for the amount we paid (12 to 15 dollars for an entree and 5 dollars for a hummus appetizer) and we would have gladly paid more for what we received. Overall we were impressed and will definitely come back to Dino's!
(5)Timothy J.
I loved the atmosphere of this place, and the owner was very nice. The gyros were excellent and had plenty of veggies like I like. I'll definitely be coming back here with my wife.
(5)Kristine R.
I was really looking forward to trying this place out but I left disappointed. Ordered pizza and pasta and all anyone could taste was chili pepper. Spaghetti and meat sauce? Chili pepper. Baked pasta and cheese? Chili pepper. The cheese pizza was cold and bland. The one positive was the tzatziki dip. Now that was good. I'd definitely order that again. The restaurant itself was also pretty warm inside. And frankly, the food was entirely too expensive for what was served.

My husband and I made a reservation for Valentine's day-don't bother they weren't organized enough we had a choice of waiting a half hour or sitting on the patio...the patio was uncomfortable and the patio furniture was less than desirable. It took our waiter forever to acknowledge us-drinks took forever-when or salads came no silverware for us or anybody we noticed-we ended up walking out after waiting for over an hour for the food that never came-which is exceptional sad because we ordered off the PREPARED Valentine's menu! It was the worst dining experience in over twenty years!
(1)Ruth L.
First time visitor.....,Came to Dino's with my father and husband. Place was packed but we waited. I'm so glad we did. Food was worth the wait. Had bruschetta for appetizer that was delicious. Then for our dinners we tried pastas and steaks. All was good. Glad we came here. Service was also excellent!!
(5)Tamara G.
Overall good food. The salads are amazing!! I could drink the dressing by itself. The soups are amazing. Sometimes the meat seems a little over done, but I use the sauce to help with the dryness. I wish the place was a little more updated bc it doesn't feel very comfortable in there. This sounds weird, but the smell reminds me of a nursing home. But I keep going back (usually takeout) bc more often than not the food is good.
(4)Pat S.
I have been here a few times but have only had the gyros. Can not tell you about other foods but the gyros are the best in the valley. Taste great and each one has enough meat and veggies to make two. Would have given 5 stars but it is a bit pricey, not to bad I keep going back.
(4)Patti P.
Went to Dinos was very haapy with the food and the service. Was greeted with a smile from Matt the bartender and the other patrons were also friendly. We ordered Peters special shrimp. It was soooo good! The prawns wrapped in bacon and stuffed wih jalapenos and stuffed with chesse was cooked perfect. The bacon was crisp and the shrimp was not overcooked. I ordered the ceasar salad my husband ordered the greek salad very good all homemade dressings! It is a family owned business the owner Peter checked with us to see how the food was he really cared about what he was serving. I can not wait to return
(5)Anthony L.
Good service, good food, and portion sizes were great. Left dinner satisfied and full. Definitely will be returning.
(5)Luz P.
Worst experience ever!!! We went there for the first time and food was horrible. The only thing that was fresh was the tomatoes on my salad. We didn't go there to pay for food that we already have from walmart's freezer or in our pantry! We noticed there was an older man walking around greeting and clearing everyone's table ( perhaps the owner ) not once did he come and ask how our food/service was. I only took a couple bites of my salad and waitress took it back and never bothered to ask if there was a problem with it! My 4 yr old daughter didn't even eat her personal pizza and she loves pizza. We will never go back there again and will not recommend it to anyone!

Had been wanting to try this place for a while and after having read the reviews, I knew I had to. My best friend and I stopped by on a Sunday evening. The place wasn't busy and there were plenty of servers available. Which made me wonder why it took so long for us to have our drink orders taken (just an Iced tea and water). This was only the beginning of the issue with the service... They have a fairly large menu with a great selection of both Greek and Italian cuisines. We started with the hummus and pita as an appetizer. It was very good and you could tell the hummus was freshly made. My friend ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and I ordered the Spaghetti Oglio with feta (I asked if they could add some artichoke hearts and they did with no extra charge). My dish was very good. The servings are perfect if you want leftovers for the next day. My bestie also said that her meal was great and also had plenty for leftovers! Now to the only qualms we had with the place. Once we got our meal, our server only came by once to refill my iced tea. Other than that...she was pretty much invisible. The other 3 servers were constantly visible around the restaurant. One guy even had a table of 10 that he was checking on periodically. Finally, when we were ready for our check we had to ask another server to inform ours that we were ready for our check. Again, the place wasn't that busy and we literally sat there waiting for our check for a good 10-15 minutes before we finally had to ask for our server. I would have given this review 4 or 5 stars, but I feel I had to scale it down due to the service (which really only refers to our own server since the others seemed to be pretty much on the ball). She was friendly...I will not take that away from her. However, she could use a brush up on some customer service skills. We will be going back and would definitely recommend it to others, with hopes that the service is better. I do look forward to trying the gyro as it looked delicious! P.S. Whatever Italian dressing they use for the salad is perfect!

Happy hour info is misleading. Husband and I ordered 2 beers (from the happy hr menu posted at the bar...as you walk in) and an appetizer, as well as a meal. When I got the bill, APPARENTLY in order to get "happy hr" prices you HAVE to sit in the bar, or on the patio. What?!? Really deceiving. And our server never informed us. Food was good. Large portions. Service was ok. Clean place. Not sure I'll go back.
(3)Jeff D.
The Gyro dinner was excellent. Plenty of food and delicious too.
(5)Walter S.
I stopped in for a late lunch at about 2:30 in the afternoon on a Wednesday. I was the only person there. I was seated quickly and ordered a calamari appetizer and a small Greek pizza. I substituted the ground beef that comes on pizza for giro meet. I waited for about twenty minutes and had three glasses of ice tea before the waiter checked on my appetizer. I chief forgot or didn't make the calamari yet. So about seven minutes later the calamari came out. It was soggy and tasted like it was fried in burnt oil. The pizza came out shortly after. The crust on the pizza was hands down the worst I have ever had. It tasted like an opened frozen pizza crust that had sat in the freezer for to long. $7.95 for the Calamari $12.95 for the Pizza $2.95 for ice tea. With tax it was over $25.00 dollars for food I would not feed to my dog. Do yourself a favor and stay away.
(1)Jake V.
Usually have the gyro meal. It is ok. Price is good. Haven't tried anything else. The place was usually empty when we went which was nice with kids, but this was at the Indian school location. Not my favorite Greek place on the west valley but it will do in a pinch.
(3)Katie T.
Never write reviews but have to on this place. Food was WAY overpriced for the quality. We waited a long time to receive just our house salad. When we got our food it was very disgusting , bread was stale and food was cold. I was so disappointed I wasted 60$ on a terrible dinner for my family & I.
(1)susan M.
You will get an excellent meal. Family owned: no chain here. The made from scratch soups are outstanding. There is something for everyone. Try the Lamp Chops, they are the best. Peter's special prawns are also good (bacon wrapped cheezy shrimp). Portions are large enough to have some left to take home.
(5)K C M.
IT IS ACTUALLY STILL IN GOODYEAR AT THIS NEW LOCATION, THE WEST SIDE IS GOODYEAR AND EAST SIDE IS AVONDALE- "Dino's is moving! After June 1st they will be located at the SW corner of Dysart and McDowell in Avondale next to Einstien Bagels. I believe the last day at current location is the 27th. Bigger and Better!"
(4)Michele M.
Greek night with friends on the westside. I had the lamb sowlaki which was ok, I've had better. The portions were a good size however not that tasty. Speaking of tasty, the water tasted funny too. The fried zucchini that we had tasted like it came from the freezer. And the baklava was probably the worst I have had in Arizona. Really soggy and the cinnamon was overwhelming. Staff nice yet didn't seem to care to be there and working.
(2)Sam H.
Came here 6pm, almost every table taken up, no seats at bar. Ordered dolmathes and calamari which were reeeeally good!! I've been to their Goodyear location for their gyro which compared to others found in west valley is A++... Service was really good too, always checked on. Will come back and highly recommend!
(5)Luciana L.
I was a little disappointed with this place considering so many folks I knew gave it two thumbs up. Maybe because of all the hype, I was expecting too much. Both the hubby and I had the gyro and shared the cheese bread appetizer. Let me just say the cheese bread appetizer deserved 5 stars. It was awesome. Our favorite gyro place closed down called Ararat's and I'm comparing Dino's to Arararats and Dino's doesn't even come close. We also liked Ararat's rice more so than Dino's but Dino's potatoes were pretty good. The service was good so they definitely deserve kudos for that and it is nice to have a greek restauarant to go to close to home so we'll definitely go there again. We'll probably try something different next time.
(3)Bill M.
Ive been to this place many times. Pete the owner knows his greek food. Coming from a greek . This food is good! Also the dinner portions are huge!!
(5)Buzz M.
I'm a huge fan of this restaurant. The decor isn't the best and dining room is just so-so. Nothing special. I usually arrive early, eat at the bar, and chat with the bartender while watching a game on tv. The menu is extensive. I counted four different Gyro's on the menu. Four! Which by the way is what I always order. They range from $8 - $20 depending on what comes with them. The dinner Gyro is so big you have to use a knife and fork, which is just fine by me. The owner is usually there hustling around and seems friendly. The patio is nice if it's cool enough out. Much better than the dining room for sure.
(4)Jay M.
Meat sauce pretty good and we liked the Italian food, but haven't tried the Greek yet.
(3)Luis T.
Dino's has great food. the Greek Pizza was awesome. The server was very attentive and the owner walked around and made her rounds. During dinner there was a piece of melted plastic on the pizza and i didn't realize it until i bite into it. I advised the owner and she made sure to take care of the issue. She gave us our pizza for free and made sure i was ok. She also said that if i continue to have issues or need to go to the doctor to let her know. Well i was sore for a couple of weeks but i healed ok. This restaurant earned 2 new customers and because of the service we recieved is the main reason why i will return to dinos

Décor awful. Atmosphere cheap. Service slow. Food mediocre.
(1)Irene S.
Jesse and I went there last night on whim after driving around aimlessly looking for a new place to try. It wasn't busy at 8:30pm but there were a few people at the bar and a large party enjoying themselves nearby. Our server was nice and quick when it came to serving. The menu is HUGE! I got the Mamouska and Jesse ordered the Greek Stirfry. Both were big portions and equally delicious. You can tell that there are some great people in the kitchen. The pita bread was soft and warm and overall we had a great time.
(4)Daniel T.
great good and has great taste. Their italian food and greek stir fry were great and the waitress was awsome. Will recommend
(4)Carlie W.
Food is very good, and portions are large. Staff is wonderful! The baked manicotti, pizza and the steamed clams are all awesome.
(4)Emily G.
went there for lunch ordered two gyros which were surpisgnly filling almost didn't have room for my greek salad that I ordered. The gentleman serving us was great! We'd never eaten Greek before so we had many questions and he answered each one with a smile. Will be going back and will be recomending to others.

First impressions mean a lot in the restaurant business. Sadly this place is out of the way and does not get the street attention it might otherwise deserve. We went here last night for dinner, a Sunday, another off night for me to be rating a place but the experience was good nonetheless. Not being overly hungry but not wanting to cook either, we thought we'd give it a try. Margaret has been there several time in the past but this was my first visit. We were greeted and seated by a pleasant hostess, or possibly a waitress, I am really not too sure. There is nice window seating and the sunset is visible and quite beautiful. Unsweetened Ice Teas for both of us to start. Margaret had the Baba Ganoush with Pita Bread and I chose the Calamari dinner. For only $6 more than the appetizer, the Calamari dinner comes with Potatoes, Rice, Vegetables, Pita Bread as well as a soup or Greek Salad....We shared the sides as she is not a squid fan and that's a shame as they were quite good, even with Tzatiki Sauce as opposed to Marinara. The food came out fast, a little too fast actually. I had only taken about 3 bites from my salad when the dinner arrived. Everything was hot and fresh and it made me look forward to coming back and trying something on my next visit. This was one of the few places to have dessert as I generally pass on that but the waitress says they were all home made items and the Tiramisu and Baklava were great so I chose to go Italian for dessert and take home a slice of the Tiramisu for later. Great choice!! The verdict? Definitely a place to go for the west siders!! Based on locale, it might just be word of mouth that gets this place noticed as its so far off the beaten path to stop by accidentally. I will be back, there are some other great looking dishes I have to try out! Enjoy!

Food and service were both weak. Absolutely no reason to go back.
(2)Daniel B.
Really enjoyed lunch here. I'll be back. And, it's walking distance to the Brass Armadillo Antique Mall. I can see many lunch-time visits.
(5)Yvette C.
I give this restaurant a 3.5. First off I AM a fan. I love the food and love the nice, quiet ambiance of Dino's. It is clean and the food is really fresh and tasty. I will keep coming back. However I had to give lower marks because, aside from the first time we came here, we have had bad service. We waited very long to get a waiter to our table the 2nd and 3rd time I've came. On the 3rd time eating here, on top of taking forever to put our order in and waiting another 20 minutes for our food, the waitress (as she is bringing my friend's food out) tells me that they are out of the meat in my order. I'm a pretty easy going person, but really? You couldn't have informed me 20 minutes ago?? Luckily I was full off of the salad and pita bread I had started eating so I just canceled my order. Bottom line, this place is worth visiting, but I hope the owners of Dino's read this. They need to work on their waiting staff, not everybody will be as forgiving as me and keep coming back.
(3)Ron T.
Thank you, K C N, for the clarification on the city location. So, me and the wife visited the new location and it is fabulous! Same menu, most of the same staff, and as before, great food and service! If you like Greek food this is the best you will find on the west side, IMHO.
(5)Ruben M.
Greeks come have some home cooking! This place is great! Small family run greek restaurant is always packed with people. It goes to show how location for a restaurant is important but if the food is good they will come. This place is nestled in a small retail center in the West valley. We accidentally ran into it and boy did we find a home away from home. Great drinks, Authentic greek beers! The Saganaki (flaming greek cheese appetizer) is awesome they will light that plate and turn everyone's head as they yell OPA! They have a great greek salad that goes well with most dishes. The gyro's are great the meat is cooked perfectly! Pita's are pita's but they never disappoint. The Lamb is a great dish although better be ready for portions because Peter (owner) is not a selfish man he makes sure you are getting fed. For deserts the bacleva is a must! Stop by and have a great dinner!
(4)Dawn G.
Love it! We go here about twice a week for their lunch specials. They have a great gyro sandwich special for like $5. I don't get that though as I'm low carb so I get the gyro salad for $8. SO GOOD! I'm only giving it a 4 because I don't know how any of their other food is but their gyro salad is a 5 in my book! :)
