Well let’s expand that to the entire Denver area.  Dino’s is actually in Lakewood, but it is great.  For over 15 years my family has made a special occassion out of going to this great restaurant!

Very family friendly, you can expect an awesome meal at a great price.  If you are looking for fancy italian food, and a big price tag, you will hate Dino’s.  If you want GREAT food, at reasonable prices, put it on your short list.

Some of my Favorites:

Meatball Sandwich.  Large homemade meatballs, on bakery fresh bread.  I promise, you won’t need anything else, it is large and delicious.

Spaghetti with homemade noodles, is also worth the trip!  I’m not sure why there are so few restaurants in the area that have the big, fat, homemade noodles.  But I am sure that I love them!  You can get either meatballs or sausage.

Lasagna.  This one of the specialties of the house.  It is a huge slab, and as good as you’ll find anywhere!

My kids love the Ravioli. Homemade, and stuffed with yummy goodness.  They also have a half and half dinner, where you get half Ravioli and half Spaghetti.  I would recommend this if you are having trouble deciding!

Every meal starts with a salad.  Don’t ask for anything special, because it is one size fits all!  Iceberg lettuce, some grated carrot, homemade italian dressing, topped with a pepper and breadstick.

Don’t forget dessert!  They have great pie!  My favorite is blueberry, a-la-mode, of course!

El Parral is my favorite Mexican Restaurant in town.  The people are friendly, the service is great, and the food is wonderful!

When you get there, be prepared to eat.  The servings are generous, but not overwhelming, and it comes out quick!  There have been times when we’ve ordered, and the food arrives within a couple minutes.  It’s made to order, and fast!  These guys don‘t mess around when it comes to turning tables.

It has a fairly large menu, which I don’t need.  Just give me (more…)
