A terrific, trail-blazing restaurant by a James Beard-nomimated chef. Dinette has been serving locally-sourced, terrific food years before it became hip to do so.
It seems like the biggest problem people have is that even though the entrees are all pizzas, this is not a "pizza place." They don't do substitutions (other than for allergies), as each pizza is carefully created by the chefs.
But their appetizers are criminally underrated. Simple but perfectly executed, these are some of the best dishes in the city. The changing fritto misto, the grilled shishito peppers (on the menu for years before Butcher and The Rye debuted them), the tartare...amazing!
I also really like their carefully chosen wine & beer selection. So many people love that they offer $1 cans of yuengling! And having each wine available by the glass or bottle is an excellent touch.
Man I wish I was eating their pizza right now.
