Dino's Cafe is a lovely Italian pizzeria (dine in or take-away) - with the main bulk of the tables inside in the restaurant and some (3) tables outside on the foot path with a sun umbrella. What better way then to sit in the late evening sun - drink a glass of the local bubbly and wait for dinner in the shape of Pizza?! Just perfect. We also knew that this is a good place to eat out as we saw plenty of the locals picking up their take-away.

Service was friendly and prompt.

The garlic bread that arrived, was totally different from the expected or shall we say the usual.
Most places use some form of French baguette look alike and work with that, however I am sure in this case it was the same base as the ordered local pizza, as it was round and flat and about 2-4 mm thin. On the upside - this will have saved a lot of overheads, easy and economically to make.

The Garlic Bread itself was generously topped with Garlic butter and a very faint sprinkling of parsley and salt. The garlic bread was sufficiently crusty (baked I suspect) so that one could easily pick it up with fingers and eat - same as a pizza. This however left your digits a tad greasy - which can promptly be remedied with the supplied napkin. As it had very little "bread" in it it left you wanting more - or hoping that your dinner was not to far away - a plus in my opinion. The last thing you want is feeling full before your main meal has arrived.
