Why You'll Love It

Divino is the best of both worlds. The laid-back charm of Italy’s much-loved neighborhood trattorias and enotecas paired with the finest of fine food (so says Zagat). The only thing that competes with the relaxed vibe and exceptional food is the parmigiano-crusted veal scaloppine and a glass of exceptional red wine.

Owner Patrick McCray drew on Italy’s various cuisines to create the menu. But his main inspiration was the tastes of Emilia-Romagna, where he trained. You won’t want to miss out on these delicious dishes, like the signature Emily’s Goat Cheese Ravioli (goat cheese and chive ravioli, sage butter, toasted pine nuts, and parmigiano). After all, it was born in Italy’s most acclaimed pasta region.
