At Divino, we promise exquisite Italian dishes prepared with love and flair and delivered by personable staff. Our philosophy is simple… to offer delicious wine and food sourced with an eager eye for provenance and quality. Choose from tempting antipasti plates, with regional cheeses and meats, tapas or for something more substantial we have a fabulous array of meat, fish and pasta dishes and remember to leave room for our beautifully, hand-crafted desserts.
Grab a seat in the gregarious bar area with its sleek black leather stools and contrasting white marble bar, or relax in one of the comfortable banquettes surrounded by walls of wine bottles; or if the weather allows, why not relax in our pretty courtyard, particularly special in the evening, with its candlelit tables, lanterns and twinkling fairy lights?
Divino is also a memorable venue for private dining, weddings and celebrations offering a magical atmosphere seamlessly married with the finest Italian food and wines.
