This neighborhood classic serves up hearty pastas and pizzas in a charming, old-school vibe, making it a beloved spot for locals despite the occasional service hiccup.
"Dino’s is the latest in a string of old fashioned red sauce joints to close around Denver in recent years. Many of those closures have been in the city’s old Northside neighborhood (now commonly referred to as Highland), which saw the closure of Italian mainstay Pagliacci’s and pizza joint Longo’s Subway Tavern in 2012 and Patsy’s Inn, then the city’s oldest Italian restaurant, in 2016." - Paul Albani-Burgio
"“In no way do we even want to be compared to Patsy’s,” Acova co-owner Betsy Workman says. “Because you can’t. It’s memorialized.” Workman gets emotional now talking about that restaurant’s legacy in this historic Denver neighborhood." - Josie Sexton
