Dina's Bistro

By far the best meal we have had while vacationing at the Jersey Shore. We are always on the search for the best places to eat and Dina’s Bistro is at the top of our list. The food is exceptional and the atmosphere is friendly and relaxing. The servers and owners go out of their way to make sure that you are satisfied and leaving with a smile. Save room for dessert, if you can! The banana cake, pistachio cake and coffee are too good to pass on!! We are still talking about how much we enjoyed everything we had!

Just finished having the most amazing dinner here. We were visiting from California and wanted some good authentic Italian food to end out Jersey trip. I found this spot on google with some great reviews. Boy am I glad I gave it a try! Every dish we had was insanely delicious! Make sure you try their award winning meatballs! The owner, his wife (the mastermind), and their son all chatted with us! They made us feel like family.

What an incredible experience. This family-owned restaurant serves some of the most authentic Italian food I’ve had in a long time. Not only was the food outstanding, but the hospitality was something special. The owner took the time to sit with us, get to know us, and make us feel like family. His wife, whom the restaurant is named after, even joined us for a glass of wine, which made the evening that much more memorable. The award-winning meatball absolutely lived up to the hype, and every dish at our table was exceptional. I couldn’t resist trying bites of everyone’s meal, and every single plate was top-notch, flavorful, and clearly made with care and tradition. If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine, warm hospitality, and a dining experience that feels personal, this place is a must-visit. We will definitely be back!

Shannon was wonderful. The food was excellent. The restaurant itself is very cozy, nicely decorated and a convergence of upscale and casual. It was my first time here with my mother for her 70th. birthday, I was very impressed with the menu and the specials, including the 3-course special on Tuesdays and Wednesdays which I opted out of but I'm glad it exists so I can visit more casually and not always for an occasion or pricey dinner. Osso Bucco was amazing, seared tuna app, calamari, and mussels were flavorful and what I expected or more. Crab stuffed flounder was a hit with my mother, and the banana cake dessert although I was too full to indulge in its entirety was delicious. Thank you Shannon and thank you to the management for giving Tom's River a pleasant option for a nice dinner.
