Dining Our for Life
September 21 thru September 28

Support Share Our Strength’s fight to eliminate childhood hunger with “Dining Out for Life”. Dino will donate a percentage of our sales from September 21 thru 28 to this worthy cause. Share Our Strength is one of the Restaurant Industry’s largest charities. They sponsor the “Taste of the Nation” in major cities across the country every year, raising millions for fighting hunger. Since Share Our Strength’s administrative costs are largely underwritten by restaurant industry members such as American Express, your contribution goes directly to benefit America’s children. Please join us!

Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur at Dino
Monday September 29 thru Wednesday October 1
Wednesday October 8 & 9

Dino will be opening early and offering a family style meal or our regular ala carte menu for the Jewish holidays. We will open early on Erev Rosh Hashanah and Kol Nidre evening so you can dine and be done with your meal by sundown for services.

Our family style menu will include foods based on traditional ingredients representing this season: apples, honey, spinach, tzimmes and new fruit (farmers’ permitting of course!).  The cost of our family style meal is $37 per person and $15 for kids ages 13 and under. Since it is served family style, the meal must be ordered for the full table, although kids are welcome to skip it and order off of Dino’s kid’s menu.  Reservations strongly advised.

“There’s a Fungus Among Us!” at Dino
Monday October 13 thru Sunday October 26

We will be celebrating mushrooms and truffles this week.  We will have a fungus based tasting menu available as well as special mushroomy dishes on the menu.  Depending on availability, we will also have burgundy truffles (a relative of the black truffle best served in cooked form) and white truffles (available on white risotto or on fettuccine with butter & truffle.)

White Truffle Dinner at Dino
Sunday November 16

This year looks to be a stellar year for white truffles.  November should be peak season.  We will only be serving our Seven Course Truffle Menu this evening.  No truffle oils or paste will be used in the meal, only fresh truffle.  Based on a white truffle cost of $3000 a pound, which is what we paid last year, the cost of the meal is $140 a person and will include over ¼ oz of the precious tuber along with the same amount of the burgundy truffle.  If, as predicted, the cost of truffles is lower, we will just give you more truffles (oh darn!). 

If you can’t make it Sunday or are not up for a full menu of truffle deliciousness, we will be offering white & black truffles on the following day while our supply lasts.  We will be happy to add truffle to a selection of dishes for an upcharge.   

Please call the restaurant to reserve for our Truffle Dinner.  Reservations by Credit Card only.

“No Turkey Days” at Dino
Friday November 28 thru Wednesday December 3:

Starting the day after Thanksgiving, we will celebrate our lack of turkey on the menu with a return of our Restaurant Week offer.  You can enjoy a $35.08 meal of three courses chosen from our full menu which includes a glass of dessert wine, limonsardo (our favorite form of Limoncello made in Sardegna) or grappa.  We will also extend Wine Madness (33% off all bottles $50 and over) as well as free corkage.  So we will give you every excuse in the book to get out of the house and away from the overcrowded stores to enjoy a good meal and vino at Dino!
