Very interesting. I photographed the market through the last 18 months up to the closure. Often this would involve staying there through all weathers overnight. When Mark and I were feeling flush we’d enjoy a Dino’s special…cheese roll out of a white paper bag… washed down a tea from a polystyrene cup with a plastic lid. Delicious . Easily some of the finest food in London. Good luck and thank you to you all.

Ernie, Terry & Steve are the guvnors of the cafe game.
Only 2 true Italian old school cafes in the east end. Dinos is one and Pelliccis is the other.
All the rest are just mugs trying 2 B.
Dinos has now moved to the new Spittalfields fruit and veg market near Hackney marshes,.. where you will still see these masters at work.
Salt beef is reeeeeemm !!!!!!!!!

I have been visiting Dino’s on New Spitalfields Market, since my dad first started taking me with him in 1992. We always used to love your chips! I wish you many more happy years!

As there are only two previous responses, I didn’t want you to think no one appreciated this entry. It is so poignant and wonderfully illustrated.

When I worked in spitalfields in the 80’s, going to Dino’s was a Friday lunchtime treat. I’m off to Leyton to see if they still do a “Spaghetti Dino Napoli”!
