Tim Carman's 50 Most Fascinating Restaurants DC


"I sometimes parcel out tough love to those places I’m particularly fond of—like Dino. Its owner-turned-chef’s commitment to regional Italian cooking is unimpeachable. So is his commitment to the ingredients that support this tradition, such as the cool and creamy burrata that Gold ships in twice a week from Puglia."

 

Alexandra Greeley in the In Towner

"Standing by the front door of the restaurant Dino and greeting incoming and saying farewell to guests, Dean Gold resembles a very happy man, prospering in the glow of compliments and good cheer. “We loved the food” and “We loved the service” echoed as crowds exited to the sidewalk; and beaming with delight, Gold (or is it Dino?) pushed back inside to oversee the action."

 

Dino in Washingtonian's 2009 "100 Very Best Restaurants!"
Washingtonian Magazine, February 2009

"Dino strikes a neat balance between the charm of a Little Italy-style neighborhood joint and the elegance of on of DC's upscale Italian Dining rooms."
Two and a half stars
