"After 58 years of serving up its classic meatballs and other red sauce favorites on Colfax Avenue in Lakewood, Dino’s Italian Food is closing at the end of September, according to 9News. Judy Duren, who now owns the restaurant started by her father, Dino DiPaolo, told the news station she is closing the restaurant because the building and equipment have become too old. It has also struggled to deal with damage the roof sustained in a 2017 hail storm, she said. Duren said the restaurant would need a new building to continue but any new building would not be Dino’s. 9News reported the restaurant has 45 employees, including 12 who have worked there for more than 15 years. The restaurant’s last day in business will be Sept. 30." - Paul Albani-Burgio

Great Italian food.🍞🍕🍝🍷 It's been around a long time. Hate to see it go like all the other home owned places. The food flavor, ambiance and personal attention is missing in the franchise's that everyone goes to now. Wish they would at least still sell the pizza some how. Like a food truck??? Or bottle the spaghetti sauce and sell at Safeway and Kings. Good bye to yet another nostalgic place😢

Service can be slow at times, especially if you order a pizza, which can take some time to cook. But the food tastes fantastic and I will never stop coming here. The pizza, Italian sandwiches, and homemade spaghetti are our favorites. Wife also loves their pies.

Homemade noodles were delicious. I'm sad that my first time to try this restaurant I find out that they will be closing their doors on September 30. I'll be going back to try more of their limited menu.

We love this place we had our 1st date dinner there in 1983. The food is delicious and home made. The garlic bread is to die for. All at a good price. Home made spaghetti yummmm.

Sad to see it close soon but their lasagna was to die for and i literally ate it all. This can tell you how good it is. Better go now before it officially closes.

I have seen Dino's off of Colfax for my entire life and never went until recently so I was pretty excited to finally get to go in and try it. The inside is very old and you can see it's the original infrastructure from the 60's. They have a bunch of the old equipment the restaurant originally used when they first opened on display.The menu did not have as much on it as I expected. They offered the classics like lasagna, spaghetti, pizza, and an Italian sandwich. They had mixed drinks and a very short beer list. I didn't like the salad really. You get a house salad of iceberg lettuce and tomatoes with a oil dressing, it was pretty bland. The breadsticks were not that good either. The serving of lasgana I recieved was big and had a lot of sauce, just how I like it. Main course was good but that was about it. I gave them a 3 because it took a long time to be greeted and I was not very impressed with the variety of menu items and food.
