Really good service. I don't know if it's just me, but the gnocchi divino tastes JUST like chef-boy-ardee, in the can. I felt like I was on candid camera.

It is so amazing when you have a hidden gem in your city. Di Vinno Rosso gives you beautiful ambiance, great food, drinks, and a romantic feel. The appetizer meatballs were so fresh and flavorful. I had the Bolognese was off the charts good. Wifey had the chicken parm. I've never seen it like this, but the pesto on top of the pounded round chicken was so juicy and flavorful we both were blown away. It's the best parm in Columbia! The dessert was really good also. With drinks, our bill was still under $145. The manager was super nice.. he took our picture and gave us a complimentary Italian drink. We'll definitely be regulars here in the future. 5 stars deserved. Great food and service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Such a really wonderful experience coming to this restaurant!! The bartender Tripp truly is the very best in the world. He took such wonderful care of us sitting for our meal at the bar! I recommend it, and when you combine that with the most delicious food and cocktails and company, then you have a simply magical night. Can't wait to come back. Thank you!!

A wonderful place for a delicious meal.The place is a little tight, especially for a larger party (more than eight people). I recommend the back room if you have more than eight.Food is delicious and the staff is fantastic.Wonderful place for a really nice dinner.Parking: Easy to use valley parking. Self parking is also available in a lot around the corner from the restaurant. Can be difficult to find parking during busy times.
If you know how to cook any kind of Italian food, stay home and cook it. This place is not worth going to. Both my wife and I ordered the veal and pepperdell bolognese. Little to no flavor on both. The pasta seemed watered down. The general manager came to ask how our meal was and was nice enough to send us some lemon cello shots at the end, but we did not finish even a third of those dishes. Certainly not worth the money we paid to eat there.
The food was very good. But the service was okay, not great but okay, the waiter kept making mistakes.Parking: Parking was very difficult; you need to get there early.

Pricey for the quality. Quality is good but not quite worth the cost. Good wine menu. A bit overpriced for some of the bottles and good for others.

Food was not pleasant but the atmosphere was nice. They had free valet parking. Nice lobby to take pictures. Celebrated my birthday there. Recommended if you like lightly season food. The service was top tier. Our waiter was very attentive. Very good drinks with real alcohol!

This place is one of, if not the best fine dining restaurants, in Columbia. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted and immediately seated with amazing service. The amount of wine and cocktail options available make for such a beautiful experience. Everything about the atmosphere and amazing dishes absolutely makes this the pinnacle of dining in Columbia. A must try for date nights, celebrations, or just good food overall!

I made the cork toss on my first ever attempt, SO EXCITING!!! The food is always delicious here and the servers are always attentive and have a pleasant disposition. I enjoy the ambiance; they offer live music on certain nights.
