I stumbled across this restaurant online in the search for a pre-rugby match luncheon venue. Both myself and my party of four were impressed and would recommend it accordingly. Service from head waitress Josephine was faultless. Try it and make your own judgement. You will be suitably impressed like my friends and I.

Lovely feel to the restaurant although it does take a little finding. Service was almost too quick for the first course, although it became more relaxed and leisurely for subsequent courses. Food was good but not outstanding. Very limited pasta choice which was surprising for an Italian restaurant.

Excellent atmoshere and good selection of wines. However glasses of wine were extremelly overpriced comparing to ordering the same wine in bottle. The food was nothing special at all. So I recommend the place just for a good bottle of wine and nothing more.

Had a lovely Christmas eve meal at Divino. The service was excellent, but not intrusive. We were helped with the choice of wines off the extensive wine list and the choices were perfect complements to our food. The ambiance was relaxed and cosy, the lighting made the restaurant seem tempting and slightly mysterious. It works well for a romantic meal but also for bigger groups. The food was generally superb, the only slight criticism was that the breadcrumb coating of the taleggio was slightly heavy. All in all, a great night at a great restaurant.

We went on Christmas Eve for lunch. Probably not the best time but restaurant came highly recommended and we felt like a treat. The menu was very limited. One lamb dish, one pork, one fish and one pasta! None of us particularly enjoyed our meal. We didn't stay for dessert or coffee as was really too quiet and the service was very subdued and not a lot of fun.

Having been unable to book a table at Vittorias on the Bridge, I booked for my friend and myself at Divino Enoteca.We did not have a great deal of time, as we were going to a Christmas Carol concert, and we found the service slower than we would have liked, and at times felt we had been forgotten. The party at the table beside us had clearly been celebrating for some time, and the noise they created went some way to spoiling our experience.I generally greatly enjoy dining in Vittoria Restaurants, and was surprised that on this occasion the standard was not what I expected.
