Holyoke Restaurant Reviews

Ok so its been a while. I had a little elbow surgery. The surgery was not the issue but being away from my laptop gave me the shakes. Thanks to Dr. Spath and the folks at Cooley Dick my arm is back and I can type and drink a beer so my life is now complete. Well what to talk about. Let me tell you about a couple of places that I have visited over the past month.


"Dino's Pizza Restaurant" 615 Homestead Ave Holyoke, MA 01040(413) 315-6590: This place is close to home so we used to use it for take out spareingly. However we met the owner at our kids softball game and decided to try it for dinner out. It was really fun. Its a typical pizzaria with pizza, grinders and pasta dishes as the main meals. Their wings are also very good. Not too many choices for dessert but the cheese cake worked for my kids. The food tastes great the staff is really friendly and the owner Dino is now one of my kids favorite people. Anyone reading this should try it out. I like to support Holyoke businesses as much as possible and this one is not hard to like.


"Dam Cafe" 2014 (I think) Northampton St. Holyoke, MA 01040 I just visited this place today and really enjoyed it. It is a welcome site for Holyoke. We really need a nice cafe type place that we can sit down with friends and have a quick bite and a coffee or in my case a nice big Chai Tea. It has a nice warm atmosphere regular table and chairs but my fav is the nice big leather couches. It also has WiFi so you can catch up on all my blog updates. I of course spent most of my lunch trying to get my husbands phone to work with Twitter. There was a good lunch crowd today and I think that they are still working out how to handle the lunch rush. We did not wait long but some folks made some comments. Overall I loved it. The staff was really nice. They guy making my Chai is a Red Sox fan and that makes me very happy. If you have a chance check it out and let me know what you think.
