"Dino’s Grotto, a cozy Italian restaurant in Shaw, is known for its rotating lineup of antipasti, grilled eggplant parmigiana, fried artichokes, fresh fish, pastas, and seasonal selections like soft shell crab. The two-level restaurant, designed to resemble the original Dino in Cleveland Park, features exposed brick, wooden furniture, and classic artwork. Owner Dean Gold, who frequently sent personalized newsletters and hosted various promos, is retiring due to health concerns, leading to the restaurant's closure." - Tierney Plumb
