We have dined at Divine many times. in the past I would rate the food as OK. Last night, it was marginal to bad. For me, the chicken they put on my caesar salad was dreadful - over cooked, dry, tasteless. when I mentioned to the waiter that the chicken was inedible, he just shrugged. He did not take it off the bill. A couple of the pasta dishes were lousy as well, although our friend had the salmon with risotto and he said it was good

We have lived in this area for over 30 years and through all that time, Divina is our favorite Italian restaurant. The food is among the best anywhere and it feels like going to a neighborhood friend’s house.

Delightful dinner with a friend. Sea bass was outstanding but pumpkin soup missed the mark. We detected no pumpkin flavor although it was tasty. Usually the soups at Divina are outstanding! Service was excellent and our waiter was upbeat and helpful. Throughly enjoyed even if soup was not as tasty as we would have liked.

We had a very lovely afternoon with delicious food and a relaxing atmosphere. We chose the patio, when several fire engines loudly clamored by disrupting the overall tranquil setting. We would choose the patio again, aware that the restaurant cannot control traffic which was otherwise not disruptive.

Noise? A small dog was barking loud and shrill. It’s a patio, but is totally enclosed. I don’t want to ruin this for other dog owners. I did not bring my dog; but she would have remained silent. If my dog barked like that, I’d drive it home. Food: We wanted the Beet Burrata salad. It was quite tasty. However, I’d told the server that I could not have walnuts; he offered pecans. It came with the candied walnuts. One bite and I knew. He brought (not candied) pecans. I got mouth blisters from the walnut. Our main course was swordfish risotto special. I felt the fish was dry and could not taste any saffron. The wine, Terlato Pint Grigio was excellent! We finished with Divina’s affogato! Excellent!!! It really was a lovely evening with those 2 glitches. We will return.
Divina Cucina Ristorante ItalianoResponded on September 1, 2026
Carolyn, thank you for sharing such detailed feedback. We sincerely apologize that your salad was served with walnuts after you specifically explained that you could not have them. This was a serious mistake, and we are reviewing it with our team to ensure we handle allergy-related requests with greater care. Could you please tell us who your server was? We’re also sorry the barking disrupted the patio atmosphere and that the swordfish risotto didn't meet expectations. We’re glad you enjoyed the beet and burrata salad, Pinot Grigio, and especially the affogato. We truly appreciate your understanding and are grateful that you plan to return. We look forward to providing you with the wonderful experience you should have received from start to finish.

all went good except in the reservation I stated that we are celebrating our 37 year anniversary and they did not do anything or even congratulate.

Always good food and great service. It was a hot day so we sat inside instead of on the patio.

HVAC was not working on 8/4 at 5pm. While we had a lovely time, it was hot and somewhat uncomfortable. I think if a restaurant has an HVAC problem, they should try to alert guests ahead of time so they can elect to redirect to another location.
