Villa Dino is a well-known Italian restaurant run by a family.Dino and Biagio (his father) opened the restaurant in 1984 after many years of success at their other restaurants, Dino's Conca D'oro in Cardiff and The Conca D'oro in John Frost Square in Newport.After Biagio spent several years honing his catering skills in restaurants and hotels all over Europe, the Gulotta family relocated to the United Kingdom in the 1960s.Dino learned these skills at a young age and developed a desire to one day own his own restaurant.The Gulotta family helped introduce true Italian cuisine to Newport by opening The Conca D'oro, the city's first Italian restaurant.Dino decided it was time for a new challenge after many happy and successful years, and thus Villa Dino was born.Tracy, Dino's wife, spotted the structure that we know and love today.The garden was overgrown at the time, and the building had been abandoned.Dino and his family saw this as the golden opportunity they had been looking for, and Villa Dino first opened its doors in 1984.They are still going strong after 36 years.The family has met a lot of people and made a lot of friends during this time.They take pride in serving authentic Italian flavors in a welcoming and relaxed setting.Visit Villa Dino if you're looking for good food and good company...you won't be disappointed.
