Dino's Grill

Dino's Grill is a beloved Memphis institution that has been serving authentic Italian cuisine to the community since 1973. Located at 645 N. McLean Blvd in the heart of Memphis, this family-owned restaurant carries on a legacy that began with founder Ettore Grisanti, who immigrated from Italy in 1910 with just $68 in his pocket. The restaurant's rich history includes connections to Elvis Presley, who famously dined at the family's earlier location on Beale Street. Dino's Grill specializes in classic Italian-American dishes including their famous toasted ravioli, crispy cheese sticks with marinara, and the legendary all-you-can-eat spaghetti available every Thursday evening for just $9.00. The restaurant's homemade tiramisu has been voted the best dessert in Memphis, making it a must-try for any visitor. Special plate lunches are served Tuesday through Friday and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., offering guests a affordable way to experience traditional Italian comfort food. The menu features hearty pasta dishes like pesto alfredo, stuffed jumbo shells, chicken parmesan, and Dino's famous fresh-made ravioli. Signature sandwiches include the New Orleans-style muffaletta, chicken parmesan sandwich, Italian sausage sandwich, and the popular Italian steak sandwich. Open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 AM to 8 PM, Dino's Grill welcomes diners to become part of their extended family and experience nearly a century of Italian culinary tradition in Memphis.
