About this restaurant

Romantic
Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions

Divino is a family owned restaurant and wine bar specializing in honest regional Italian food. Since 2000, neighborhood foodies and Italophiles have flocked to the casual/chic Montrose hideaway for handmade pastas, exquisite local seafood and innovative dishes like Crispy Pork Shoulder with Green Apple Risotto and Pickled Celery Root. The eclectic wine list features 30 wines by the glass with very low mark-ups. The list is predominantly Italian and celebrates not only the classic regions of Tuscany and Piemonte but also the more obscure wines of Alto Adige all the way to Sicily.

Good food as always. The ravioli was exceptional! We shared the pate appetizer & the cheese plate. Pate was delicious & although the cheese was good it is extremely skimpy & a poor presentation. Also ordered was a special of chicken piccata & was very good. Enjoyed the pear & spinach salad as well as the caesar. We were celebrating our friends birthday & had a couple of desserts which were good as well. This is a nice quiet spot with consistently good food. Our friends loved it!

Food good although veal could have used a lemon on side and the pasta special with short rib was on the dry side. Service was extremely slow. Had to wait long periods for everything and eventually got out my credit card and put on the table to expedite checking out. No acknowledgement of anniversary though it was noted in reservation One of our favorite places and always a great wine selection but apparently an off night.
