Divino Enoteca Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar

1. Amazing food and wine made even more special with such incredible service!
   It’s worth noting there are two Italian restaurants in this building. This restaurant at the bottom is called Divino, and one at the top and middle floors called Vittoria. Both restaurants are part of the same company, but this restaurant (Divino) is streets ahead of Vittoria in both food and service quality.
   The waiting on staff in Divino are so friendly and attentive. When walking into the restaurant and to the table, every member of staff we passed stopped and greeted us. Throughout the meal they would always have a friendly smile and would continually check (at the right times) to see if we were OK. They were also very knowledgeable about the food and wines they were serving. The service definitely increased the enjoyment of the meal.
   The food was equally excellent. We went for the carrarese sharing focaccia to start, which had a slight chewiness to it that was a nice mouth feel, it had lots of flavour, the honey walnuts being a favourite part of it.
   I went for the spaghetti carbonara for main which had a rich creamy cheesey flavour, which was oh so moreish! The pasta was cooked aldente, which I enjoyed.
   My wife went for the tuna salad and said it was delicious, really great flavours and the tuna was so fresh.
   We got a side of the mushrooms that had loads of earthy, herby, and garlic flavours.
   We went for the creme brulee for dessert, which was very nice. The cherries we found a little too sweet though and thought it may be better without them. A bit of shortbread would have been nice instead.
   We went for the Soave white wine, which was amazing, so flavourful. And the Barolo, which again was an incredible wine.
   They finished off the meal with a free shot of lemoncello, which was lovely and well received.
   The meal was for my wife’s birthday, so we did splash out a little. Our bill came to just under £226 but for the quality of the food and service, we felt it was worth it.
   Highly recommend coming here!

2. Can’t say enough good things about the service. Hands down awesome. Had the carbonara which was very good. The wine selection was very good as well. Be careful with the desserts though. Their version of the lava cake will hook you. I’m not kidding!!

3. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxing, with lighting and a seating arrangement that complemented this. We ordered the special squid starter, bread selection, prawn pasta and carbonara, a variety of foods that all exceeded the excpectations that we had in terms of presentation, invention and most importantly, taste. Our server Troy couldn’t of been more helpful, extremely knowledgeable of the menu and able to recommend dishes which would compliment eachother perfectly. Our table was never empty with food and our wine glasses were always filled. 10/10

4. Divino is fantastic for a special occasion but also anytime you’re looking for great Italian food with a warm atmosphere. We had a great anniversary dinner, the team are very friendly and attentive and made it a lovely evening. The food and wine were delicious – the burrata & ricotta ravioli on special was just perfect and we also enjoyed our starter & the affogato. The wine and cocktails selection is great with both traditional and inventive cocktails making it difficult to choose a favourite! This wasn’t our first visit and definitely won’t be the last! Also looking forward to the warmer months to enjoy their terrace. Thanks to our waiter David and the rest of the team for a great night!

5. Me and my friends had a lovely meal here celebrating my graduation! Everyone who served us was so friendly and welcoming.

   I love how they have good sharing options – instead of each getting an individual starter we got the focaccia which was the perfect amount to share between three of us. I had the carbonara as a main which was delicious! They also have a huge selection of wines and the wine tasting vending machine was a nice touch!

   There was a bit of a wait between courses but it was a busy Friday night so that’s understandable. Overall a really lovely evening in a beautiful atmosphere!
