Dino's Grill

Dino's Grill is a beloved Memphis institution that has been serving authentic Italian cuisine since 1973, continuing a family legacy that began with founder Dino Joseph Grisanti. Located at 645 N McLean Blvd in the heart of Memphis, this family-owned restaurant occupies a historic building constructed in 1927 that originally housed Piggy Wiggly Grocery Store number 54. The restaurant's rich history includes a fascinating connection to Elvis Presley, who dined at the family's previous location on Beale Street during the 1950s. Dino's Grill offers an extensive menu featuring classic Italian-American dishes including their famous toasted ravioli with meat sauce, crispy cheese sticks, and the renowned homemade Tiramisu that was voted best dessert in Memphis. Special highlights include Tuesday through Friday and Sunday plate lunches, their legendary Thursday night all-you-can-eat spaghetti for just $9.00 after 5pm, and signature sandwiches like the New Orleans-style Muffaletta and Chicken Parmesan. The restaurant serves Tuesday through Sunday from 11am to 8pm and maintains the warm, welcoming atmosphere of a true family establishment where generations of Memphians have created lasting memories over authentic Italian cuisine.
