DIVINO Ristorante Enoteca Reviews
excellent food & service & wonderful pasta & wine.
We paid $300 for a subpar experience for two...The only really decent tasting item on the Valentine's menu was the single piece of shrimp given on the second plate. When they say tasting menu, they mean you will wonder if you even had a taste of their menu. According to my WSET certified partner, the wine pairings were very general and not very high quality. The entree (after waiting over an hour) was two pieces of scallops). Left hungry, which is a very romantic way of leaving...read full review
Absolutely amazing restaurant all around. Starting with the focaccia, mock tails, & cocktails. I’m not a bread eater but i ate quite a bit of it as it was extremely delicious. For the entree, I ordered the red snapper and my husband ordered the burger and they were both equally delicious. Desert. We ordered the tiramisu and cheesecake and were both divine. Definitely recommend.
