A neighborhood gem tucked on the corner of Salem and Prince Street, Dino's Cafe is a small unassuming establishment offering quick reliable service at casual eat in tables or for take-out. The owners are some of the friendliest around.
They have an extensive menu of Italian standbys - think baked pastas, chewy gnocchi in house made sauce, a side of meatballs. All of it that I have tried is excellent! I generally crave their specialty subs which come with any number of hot or cold ingredients on a fresh baked 16 inch baguette. At $9 a sandwich, these always turns out to be two meals for me. 
The sandwich pictured is the Vegetarian containing roasted red peppers, roasted plum tomatoes, caramelized red onions and balsamic glazed portabella mushrooms with mozzarella cheese. SIMPLY PREPARED AND IN THAT SOFT, FLUFFY, AND JUST A TINY BIT CRISPY BAGUETTE, this is ONE large yet ELEGANT Sub. From chicken pesto or a cheese steak Italiano, to a caprese with fresh basil and mozzarella or an Italian with quality imported meats, I have hardly paused a moment to photograph them all and definitely never took the time to give them their due praise.
For take out Italian and well prepared sandwiches on a whim, Dino's is hard to beat. I am going to miss popping in here on the regular.
