Genuinely some of the best Italian food I've ever had - not just in New Jersey, but all over. Very warm and welcoming atmosphere, brings me back to a feeling of home. Reminds me of my nonna's cooking. Highly recommend for an authentic Italian experience

What a gem!! The moment you walk in, the space grabs you. Sleek, modern floors with that glass like shine and a cozy, intimate layout that feels perfect for a date night. It has that NYC energy, just tucked right into Cedar Grove. The chef’s talent really shows. We started with the burrata and fried calamari, both fresh and beautifully done. For my entrée, I had the special of the night: the osso bucco. Truly outstanding. The meat slid right off the bone, and the tiny spoon for the marrow? Loved that detail!! The spaghetti and meatballs held their own too. So comforting, rich and absolutely top tier Italian. The bolognese was just as impressive. Both the chef and the waitress were attentive, warm, and genuinely invested in our experience, which made the evening even better. I’m so rooting for this place. The food feels like art and I can’t wait to see what the chef creates next.

We cannot say enough great things about DaTino! We’ve been multiple times, and every single one of them has been exceptional. From the cozy feel, to the extremely welcoming Duo- you feel like family instantly. And that’s before the amazingly delicious food even hits the table. The quality of ingredients, attention to detail, and well thought out meals are truly next level. We will be back again and again!

Ate at Da Tino for the first time and the food was incredible. It tasted exactly like the meals I had in Italy. The service was fantastic and Tino and Gina made us feel like we were family. Will definitely be back!

This place is honestly a gem. All the appetizers were amazing, except for the calamari. They weren’t fried enough, not really crispy, and I’ve definitely had better. Or maybe I’m just biased because I’ve had the best fried calamari at a place called Krios. Overall, the appetizers were a hit, but the main dishes didn’t impress me as much. They kind of lacked flavor, and the tomato sauce taste took over everything else. The sauce itself was good, definitely homemade but it overpowered the rest of the ingredients. Still, I’d totally go back for the appetizers!
