    The service was fantastic! I could go on and on about how excellent our waitress, Tatiana, was, and how fast and professional the other staff were! They worked really well together and it was as pleasure to see. The views were great! The food was okay. It lacked seasoning, so it was pretty meh and bland, although beautifully presented and cooked well. For example, my braised short ribs were ABSOLUTELY tender, but there was hardly a particle of salt in them, so the flavor of the meat was absent. (The sweet potato fries were spot on though!)

    My wife and I have dined now at Osteria Divino on five separate occasions several of which we have brought other guests. The food and value are superb. The music on Thursday through Saturday night, although lovely is too loud and precludes much conversation unless one sits either in the third and back dining area or the second and middle dining area. Overall, I think the combination of a superb Italian menu and very well prepared food and very responsive service is a combined winner, and we feel very pleased to have discovered Osteria Divino in the last couple of months.

    This restaurant never disappoints! The staff is on top of everything, service is kind and fast, food is consistently outstanding. It’s one of our favorites in Marin! Pro tip: order the dumplings, tempura, sunomono salad w crab, crunch roll or the sushi or sashimi plate. Save room for dessert bc their sorbet trio is always good. The spinach salad and mixed greens salad are also good. Black cod melts in your mouth. Basically, order everything - it’s all good!

    This is a classy, top notch dining experience in Sausalito. Worth the drive, as the food is excellent and the ambiance hard to beat. Old world charm oozes from every wooden sconce lit booth. We shared a meal with very dear foodie friends here and they were duly impressed with everything.
