My son and I visited Dino's on a Saturday afternoon, around 12:30 pm. Dino's is a little hole in the wall Italian restaurant located in a small shopping strip in Lyndhurst. Upon entering one is greeted with a muted décor. The walls are done in tan and brown with grape vine art stencils. Here and there china and artwork hang, providing variety to the atmosphere. The tables, the restaurant seats about 40, were covered in brown heavy vinyl tablecloths.
