About Dino

Dino is a Mediterranean bar and restaurant in Nottingham, at 9 Warser Gate. Fajita and steak menus run alongside the main Mediterranean list, so the table has more to choose from, with sirloin steak among the options. Tiger prawns appear as a starter or as part of a main, and the chicken dijon comes in a creamy sauce. The bar serves cocktails, and guests can be seated in the bar or lounge area first before moving to their table. The dining area sits at the back of the building and has a chandelier.

Customer Review Summary

Diners most often return to the chicken. The dijon mustard chicken is described as melting in the mouth under a creamy sauce, and the pollo alla Toscana is praised for an ample portion cooked to perfection. Close behind are the sirloin steak, called tender and juicy, and the tiger prawns, which turn up alongside fishcakes as a starter and in a haddock and tiger prawn rigatoni with a huge portion in a cream sauce. The English Garden cocktail is called wonderful, though one reviewer found it plain-looking. Most reviews single out the service as friendly, attentive and accommodating, and two describe birthday meals. Reviewers also call the portions very good and the meal good value. The one complaint that recurs is noise. One diner found the music a tad loud, and another found a large party noisy until a waitress moved them to a quieter part of the venue so they could talk comfortably. One pair shared a tiramisu that staff presented split into two dishes.

    “Fantastic evening from start to finish, friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Lovely cocktail to start. Tiger prawns and fishcakes were fantastic and great to start. Had the dijon mustard chicken for main and it was delicious, the chicken just melted in your mouth and the sauce was so creamy and full of flavour. Service was remarkable, served promptly and made sure we had everything we needed. The most wonderful eatingexperience .”

    “We had a very good time at Dino's. There was a large party in the restaurant which was quite noisy and our waitress was very considerate to sit us in a quieter part of the venue allowing us to talk comfortably. The food as always was excellent and our waitress was lovely and very accommodating. She really went above and beyond to ensure we had a good experience.”

    “Went here as a group on one of the hottest days of the year. It was my first time there, and it's always looked cosy going past it, so I was concerned it would be baking hot inside but actually there was adequate air conditioning. I ordered the haddock & tiger prawn rigatoni which is in a cream sauce, and for dessert I had the chocolate brownie with ice cream. The pasta dish was a huge portion, but I ate it all and loved it! Obviously it can't have been that huge as I still somehow found room for the brownie! 😂 To drink I had an English Garden cocktail. It was absolutely lovely and was only £8; I was hoping it would have a sprig or something in it to make it look pretty but it was just quite plain-looking, however it was wonderful and I'd have it again. The service was excellent. The venue is absolutely lovely and I can't believe I've been living in the East Midlands for 18 years and had never been until now. It's got a beautiful bar area as well as a well-lit dining area at the back, with a lot of eclectic decor. An absolute gem in the crown of Nottingham dining experiences, I will be back!”

    “Had a great meal here last night! Myself and my cousin both enjoyed our meals very much I had the pollo alla Toscana and it was delicious. A very ample portion and everything on the plate cooked to perfection. My cousin had the chicken dijonnaise which she rated highly too. We then shared a portion on the Tiramissu which they very helpfully presented split into two dishes and this was also really delicious. Overall, could not fault our experience- we got great service from friendly and helpful staff. We felt the meal was very good value for money considering portion size, choice and quality of the ingredients. Would definitely eat here again.”
