Divino Enoteca in Edinburgh, City of

In Divino Enoteca, I had an amazing time! Particularly the wood-fired pizzas, the food was fantastic. It was the ideal setting for a casual dinner—warm yet energetic at the same time.

For a romantic dinner, Divino Enoteca is the ideal location. The mood was incredibly beautiful, with the tables lighted by candles and soothing music.

After my recent meal there, I can say with confidence that Divino Enoteca is the finest Italian restaurant in Edinburgh!

I had a wonderful evening at Divino Enoteca!

Amazing food and wine made even more special with such incredible service! It's worth noting there are two Italian restaurants in this building. This restaurant at the bottom is called Divino, and one at the top and middle floors called Vittoria. Both restaurants are part of the same company, but this restaurant (Divino) is streets ahead of Vittoria in both food and service quality. The waiting on staff in Divino are so friendly and attentive. When walking into the restaurant and to the table, every member of staff we passed stopped and greeted us. Throughout the meal they would always have a friendly smile and would continually check (at the right times) to see if we were OK. They were also very knowledgeable about the food and wines they were serving. The service definitely increased the enjoyment of the meal. The food was equally excellent. We went for the carrarese sharing focaccia to start, which had a slight chewiness to it that was a nice mouth feel, it had lots of flavour, the honey walnuts being a favourite part of it. I went for the spaghetti carbonara for main which had a rich creamy cheesey flavour, which was oh so moreish! The pasta was cooked aldente, which I enjoyed. My wife went for the tuna salad and said it was delicious, really great flavours and the tuna was so fresh. We got a side of the mushrooms that had loads of earthy, herby, and garlic flavours. We went for the creme brulee for dessert, which was very nice. The cherries we found a little too sweet though and thought it may be better without them. A bit of shortbread would have been nice instead. We went for the Soave white wine, which was amazing, so flavourful. And the Barolo, which again was an incredible wine. They finished off the meal with a free shot of lemoncello, which was lovely and well received. The meal was for my wife's birthday, so we did splash out a little. Our bill came to just under £226 but for the quality of the food and service, we felt it was worth it. Highly recommend coming here!

Great place,great food and great staff.

Delicious food, particularly the Ravioli. The waiter, David, was extremely helpful and friendly, only improving an already fantastic experience.

Whoa, Divino Enoteca has such a great atmosphere! It's vibrant and comfortable, ideal for a night out. The risotto I ordered was wonderful and creamy.

The environment was pleasant and the lighting was soft. My significant other and I had a wonderful dinner here, and we had a great time.

I recently had dinner at Divino Enoteca, and I must say that it's the ideal spot to unwind because of its warm yet lively ambiance. As an appetizer, I really enjoyed the bruschetta because it was flavorful and had fresh tomatoes on top. Not to mention the great wine selection!

At Divino Enoteca, we enjoyed a wonderful anniversary meal! The meal was equally special as the romantic ambiance. This location is great for any kind of party; it really made our evening special.

A hidden gem in Edinburgh Warm atmosphere with very good attention from Jessica and wonderful food. 100% recommended

My birthday was celebrated in Divino Enoteca, and it was a wonderful occasion! The wine bar was a wonderful addition to the evening, and the cuisine was simply delicious. The service was also excellent.

This was where I had a fantastic dinner last weekend. The wine selection is the best in Edinburgh, and the pasta was tasty and fresh. It was the ideal setting for a romantic evening—cozy yet refined.

For lovers of wine, this location is a real treasure! Their large wine range complemented nicely with the tasty Italian cuisine. I had a great time with friends that evening, sampling different wines and enjoying delicious food. It's unquestionably a must-go-to-place for fantastic wine experiences.

I went there recently for an evening of wine tasting, and it was wonderful! The staff is polite and well-informed, and the wine selection is excellent. It's the ideal spot to savor their mouthwatering antipasti with a glass of superb wine.

I attended the sweet wines and dessert pairing in March. Brilliant! I normally don’t like desert wine, but the combination of the wines and the exceptionally prepared desserts were so memorable. Had dinner in the restaurant afterwards… Yes, I ate backwards. Lol and the sommelier recommended the most perfect one for my dinner. I came back home and sought that wine out. It was Gavi di gavi… a wine I’ve never had, and I loved being introduced to something new. The dinner was prepared perfectly, wines were well balanced, and dessert was awesome. I cannot recommend this place enough. What a great find.

Amazing service and delicious food. A lovely setting with a large wine selection. Also, there was live music that night. We felt very welcome there.

Can’t say enough good things about the service. Hands down awesome. Had the carbonara which was very good. The wine selection was very good as well. Be careful with the desserts though. Their version of the lava cake will hook you. I’m not kidding!!

The restaurant is good and the choices were good Except the steak was dry once 🥲

Great vibes. Fantastic service by Andrea. Delicious food. Highly recommend if you’re looking for Italian food in Edinburgh!

Great experience here on a busy Wednesday evening during the Fringe in August. The wine list is great as is the cocktails. The food offering is small-ish but has pastas, meat and side offerings. The tempura prawns were delicious as a starter, a great portion. The tuna and courgette main course was a letdown, it didn't offer much flavour and was a bit small if you don't order sides. The affogato was 10/10 however - delicious coffee and a good portion of ice cream. Our server was a standout of the evening, super attentive and friendly and clearly had great knowledge of the menu.

We came here before seeing a tattoo and found that the location was absolutely perfect! The warm candles, low lighting and beautiful fire stoked in an old fireplace really set the tone. The restaurant is very authentically Italian, with Italian wait staff and Italian chefs in the back. There was an extensive wine list and our waiter was practically a sommelier - we tried a wine on his recommendation that we hadn't heard of before (a Frappato from Sicily). It was so beautiful and just as described. Highly recommend this place for a great night out💕.

1st class service great experience

If you are coming here for lunch, don’t order the rib-eye… not only is it inedible, but if you order a medium you’ll get it raw… even after asking the waiter to send it back to the kitchen, it came back the same, but warmer…

Second time there . Food can't fault! All staff where faultless best in Edinburgh perfect seamlessly making you feel special nothing was a problem! When your sitting eating thinking this is what eating out should feel like fantastic! Keep up the great work guys 🤗

Last month I had the pleasure of dining at Divino for a special occasion with my mother and sister. The service was outstanding and flawless, with the staff being incredibly professional, courteous, and friendly. And the food was simply fabulous! Without a doubt, I would return for other special occasions. One of the best restaurants in Edinburgh!

The atmosphere was lively yet relaxing, with lighting and a seating arrangement that complemented this. We ordered the special squid starter, bread selection, prawn pasta and carbonara, a variety of foods that all exceeded the excpectations that we had in terms of presentation, invention and most importantly, taste. Our server Troy couldn’t of been more helpful, extremely knowledgeable of the menu and able to recommend dishes which would compliment eachother perfectly. Our table was never empty with food and our wine glasses were always filled. 10/10

Best chef and wine list in Scotland for a reason, stunning menu incredible wine, stunning location! The restaurant is very intimate and romantic, food is authentic and crazy quality, even better then most places in Italy itself. The all team is just unreal, fast knowledgeable and professional. Can not stress it enough, best Italian restaurant in Scotland.

We came here for my graduation meal and it was appalling from start to finish. We waited an hour for starters without any acknowledgement or reimbursement from the restaurant. I had to approach the manager and also later complained twice. Nothing. With over 5 years of hospitality experience myself I would never dream of providing a customer experience like this. A real shame for Divino- Do better.

Great restaurant! The waiters were incredibly nice and helpful and the food was incredibly good. In addition, there was great decor which made everything feel very nice and formal. 10/10!! Recommended if you are in the area!

Do not go here! Crap service - disappointed. Been before which was great as we had had great service and went back for a special occasion what a mistake!! Waited over an hour to get food whilst tables arriving after us were served. Not one comment from a manager in explanation about this. I challenged the manager and waiter after paying the bill- they simply couldn’t give a toss.

Exquisite. The food was outstanding with every course being an absolute culinary delight. The atmosphere was also wonderful, providing an intimate experience in the middle of a bustling restaurant. Our waiter, Troy, was nothing short of exceptional and couldn’t have been more attentive, knowledgable about the menu or welcoming. I cannot recommend Davino’s highly enough.

Wonderful experience in Edinburgh… To do again Everything is 10/5! THANKS

Food delicious Staff really welcoming and knowledgeable, attentive without fussing. Restaurant layout lovely, nice intimate pockets.

Excellent service, above and beyond from David our waiter. Truly delicious food and my husband is a foodie!! Excellent wine pairings/recommendations- they know their stuff. Will definitely be back and would not hesitate to recommend.

Not very good. The food was very under salted, and after asking for a wine list they just gave us a 25£ glass…the desserts where under welming

Fabulous Service, could not have been more charming , well informed and sociable . Great venue for small groups or big one like us , accommodated us in a wonderful private dining room, would highly recommend . Only one dish disappointed (linguine was very salty apparently due to sun dried tomatoes, but was a battle to enjoy)

Cozy place, the staff are very polite, the food tastes unique. I highly recommend it.

Had a lovely meal here, returning after a first visit 7 years ago, and it was a nice as we remembered. Firstly service was exceptional, it was professional and friendly, and struck the absolute right balance. Food was brilliant, nduja and polenta starter is highly recommended. Our mains did take a while but we were happy to be leisurely. Beef cheek very tasty and very rich. I loved the passion here too, I ordered a Vin Santo to finish my meal but this was not available, but a replacement was suggested and I was impressed by the passion in why it was a good alternative.... And yes it was delicious. The only criticism I have is the toilets are a long walk upstairs as part of another restaurant it seems. Would not stop me coming back again. Grazie

Great food, but above all, great service!

Pleasant atmosphere, service, variety of Italian wines from all regions of Italy, food, all excellent! It's definitely worth checking out!

Perfect ! Delicious dishes (the chef's ravioli to die for), warm atmosphere with a jazz group, attentive service ❤️

descend into the basement but a great experience. excellent menu, wine and service. dishes prepared with care and beautifully presented. unexpected pleasure must do in Edinburgh.

Great restaurant! Very Italian style

Really great staff. Instantly felt welcomed and accommodated. Ended up sitting in the cosy restaurant for several hours. Buonissimo!

Me and my friend enjoyed our night so much! The food was so delicious and went perfectly with the wine recommended by Pietro. He was serving us and was so thoughtful, welcoming and friendly! All the staff were amazing. It was my friends birthday and they were kind to give her candles and congratulate her for her birthday. So lovely! We will definitely come back! Marina :)

Excellent restaurant, couldn’t fault the food and service.

Divino is fantastic for a special occasion but also anytime you’re looking for great Italian food with a warm atmosphere. We had a great anniversary dinner, the team are very friendly and attentive and made it a lovely evening. The food and wine were delicious - the burrata & ricotta ravioli on special was just perfect and we also enjoyed our starter & the affogato. The wine and cocktails selection is great with both traditional and inventive cocktails making it difficult to choose a favourite! This wasn’t our first visit and definitely won’t be the last! Also looking forward to the warmer months to enjoy their terrace. Thanks to our waiter David and the rest of the team for a great night!

Great restaurant, we visited 6 years ago and it was good we decided to come back again. Highly recommend.

Antipasti starter, fantastic. Tiramasu, fantastic. Prawn pasta (can’t remember the Italian name of the dish) and the Gnocci my brother ordered were rather average unfortunately. Highly recommend the lamb or the steak and their equivalent of a lasagne. Our waitress was incredibly hospitable, a great host. Atmosphere was brilliant, not too loud considering it was a game day.

From the moment we walked through the door we received excellent service, the food was fantastic as was the wine. The atmosphere and ambience just perfect for our romantic meal for two. Will definitely visit again next time we're up from Manchester. I had the soup of the day and the special both of which were excellent and obviously change, my partner had the lamb and she is still talking about it now a week later

Excellent. One of the best places to eat in Edinburgh. Very fast... Great quality... and reasonable price

What a great Italian this is!! Staff, and really the whole team, is great. From welcome to farewell, warm, enthusiastic and attentive. Nice cozy environment and then….., the food. Burrata, bruschetta and charcuterie, very tasty and right quantities. But then the showstopper, Beefcheek cooked in Barolo with, I think, Balsamic sauce, really not to be missed!!

What a gem of a restaurant, food was excellent done to perfection. Are waiter David was very knowledgeable and couldn't do enough for us and without being over bearing. Great choice o f wines, even had a selection of wines were you could try a little of them all, brilliant idea. The restaurant itself was a lovely place really liked the decor. Would recommend and I will visit again.

My friend and I had such a great evening dining here recently. The food, staff, ambiance and drinks were just perfect - would highly recommend this restaurant

Alberto and his team celebrated a huge milestone with us! They were caring and very warm - giving us complimentary Prosecco and limoncello to celebrate! The food was perfect too, could not fault a thing. Thank you Divino team!!

Fantastic Italian food complimented by impeccable service and a lovely atmosphere. I look forward to going again.

David (the south african) was excellent. Thank you for making our evening / birthday meal so special

Incredible experience at divino, food was exquisite, made even better by our wonderful waiter David, he was extremely informative and attentive to us, lovely decor with a fantastic selection of wine, would highly recommend to any one visiting Edinburgh. One of the best meals we’ve ever had.

My partner & I spent our New Year's Eve meal here, and it was really fantastic. The decor and feel of the place was great, the staff were so nice and attentive to us both. We shared an Antipasto, which was fantastic, and our waiter explained everything on the dish and where it came from, which was a lovely touch, I thought. Our mains were extremely good. The Mrs had a Ragu which she loved, and i had the Lamb, which was so tender and tasty. The setting was very romantic too! I would highly recommend this place for a good meal.

Everything was great! The staff are all Italians and its kinda cool how they keep it to the whole Italian atmosphere. The food was delicious and had a lot of options. They had live music that night too that me and my company to really enjoy the night. The staff were so polite and they made us feel welcomed and special since minute one. Definitely will bare in mind when Id like to enjoy Italian cuisine again!

From the moment you walk through the door you know you're in for a great experience. The service is impeccable, the food is wonderful, and the surroundings and ambience make this a great and memorable experience

Writing on behalf of my team who had a lovely experience for a business dinner in Divino's private dining room. The room was beautifully decorated, the food excellent and shout out to the staff on the evening who made it such a pleasant experience all round. And special mention to Luca who I worked with on putting the dinner together, he went above and beyond when we hit a little hitch of double-booking!

Stumbled upon this place quite by accident. Boy am I glad that we did. People, food and atmosphere made me start to think that I was back in Italy. Marvelous dinner! Bravo!

From our initial warm welcome and drinks at the bar the whole experience was excellent and a highlight of our weekend. We enjoyed the antipasto starter with a very well suited Pecorino, the waiters took the time to explain the platter which made it even more enjoyable. Main course of beef cheek was extremely enjoyable, very well accompanied by the Primitivo. The atmosphere and warm, friendly staff made this a meal to remember and we look forward to returning soon.

We had a lovely meal here, our dinner the atmosphere and ambience was all great. Our waiter David was exceptional. He was attentive, friendly and fun! Wonderful evening had by all!

Fantastic private room. We thought the menu was great value for money and the wine list was outstanding. Throughout the evening we were brilliantly taken care of by a dedicated waitress called Astrid. Would highly recommend for a private party. They also have a lovely restaurant .

Absolutely phenomenal. Our waiter Davide was a gent. Couldn’t recommend more.

Amazing evening at Divino last night! There were 12 of us seated in the Patio, waited on by the wonderful Davide who was charming and good fun. The food was first class as always and arrived in a timely fashion, not easy for a big group but they have a pre-ordering system set up which makes it really efficient for everyone. Cannot recommend enough, Grazie Mille!

I hosted a group of twelve colleagues to celebrate their graduation from the University of Edinburgh recently. I choose Divino as I am a regular customer on a personal basis. The ambiance, quality of food and extensive wine list (if you don't see a specific Italian wine on the list, just ask the sommelier and they will go and hunt for you!) are a joy to behold. The service is friendly, efficient and personal. Impromptu wine tutorials at the table have been known by the highly knowledgeable Davide! Thanks to Luca and his amazing team at Divino Enoteca, I'll be back again very soon!

Lovely food and atmosphere. The lasagne is the best lasagne I’ve ever tried. Lovely jazz band playing!

Fantastic restaurant, great location, decor and vibe. Food to very high standard and the staff were friendly, attentive and knew the menu inside and out. The BIG disappointment was the wine...excellent choice, we went for a big Brunello di Montalcino. It was cold and the waitors only reply was 'thats how it came from the cellar' Took the edge of an otherwise enjoyable meal.....

Really great Italian restaurant. Took an Italian friend for her birthday and the team could not have been better making her feel at home and special. Mille grazie tutti e Marco!

Great food and friendly and attentive service.

Had the most wonderful evening meal at Davino`s on our first night in Edinburgh. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a fantastic atmosphere which is enhanced by the friendliness of the staff, we have never experienced such a warm welcome. David in particular was so kind and helpful. The food and wine was simply exquisite, we cannot recommend Davino`s highly enough. What a place to spend my Birthday, Thank you. We hope to be back again very soon.

Best meal I have had in Edinburgh. Staff are lovely and the wine superb. Throughly recommend.

Booked this as a family catch up before the festive season starts in earnest. Fantastic food, top notch service and the ambiance of the venue was lovely. Can’t wait to visit again.

Where to start 1) starter, mussels served cold! Replaced however my husband's prawn tempura’s went cold whilst waiting for mussels to be cooked! 2) served our own water 3) served our own wine 4) main course served, no pepper offered 5) coffee offered but only ‘blue’ milk available 6) expesso coffee - Luke warm! 7) expresso martini - very weak Overall, shocking service from what should have exceptional! Will not return!

Great food and great service. Couldn´t have asked for a better evening.

Very interesting and tasty experience. Tiramisu is especially good.

From beginning to end perfection. The atmosphere is lovely. The service of Luca who greeted, the wines of Davide were so special and the delicious food. Our best evening in Edinburgh.

I love this place! Every time we come to Edinburgh it’s compulsory to eat here The food is fabulous and the staff are just great, so why go anywhere else?

We had dinner here and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The service was friendly and efficient. The food and wine were really delicious. A lucky find!

Vous pouvez aller les yeux fermés à ce restaurant qui a une très bonne cuisine italienne nous avons prix une focalisa, puis des pâtes au ragoût ,le vin étant un peu décevant mais peut être que nous avons fait un mauvais choix ,le service était parfait

This restaurant has a great ambiance and is aesthetically appealing. On the night we visited there was live Jazz, which was excellent. Unfortunately the food didn’t live up to expectations, especially given the price point of the dishes. Our friend had a Steak that was completely tasteless, as was the seafood linguine, the portion of which was very parsimonious. As said, the food was not worth the money at all. Nonetheless we had a pleasant evening but wouldn’t recommend this restaurant

We stopped in to have a glass of wine which led to three bottles. The server’s recommendation for wine was amazing! We ended up staying for dinner, and had authentic Italian food. The Pappardelle al Ragu Toscano tasted just as I remembered when I was in Tuscany. The rib eye steak with green pepper corn sauce was delicious! The service was excellent. Thank you for a great experience!

Wonderful food, wine and service

From the attentive staff to the masterpieces of pasta put together by the kitchen, there were no flaws in this dining experience. We stepped foot into the restaurant by chance and left wanting to return to try more of their menu!

Me and my friends had a lovely meal here celebrating my graduation! Everyone who served us was so friendly and welcoming. I love how they have good sharing options - instead of each getting an individual starter we got the focaccia which was the perfect amount to share between three of us. I had the carbonara as a main which was delicious! They also have a huge selection of wines and the wine tasting vending machine was a nice touch! There was a bit of a wait between courses but it was a busy Friday night so that’s understandable. Overall a really lovely evening in a beautiful atmosphere!

I booked Divino Enoteca for a private business dinner for 14 people in September 2023. We had a really brilliant evening. The food was fantastic and Luca, the Guest Services Manager, and the whole team at the restaurant could not have been more helpful from the moment I made the booking, to the night itself when they looked after us very well indeed. I also had a couple of additional guests at the last minute on the day, and they were able to accommodate us without any trouble. My thanks to Luca and everyone at Divino Enoteca and I look forward to working with you again.

Excellent service and lovely food.

Divino Enoteca was recommended to me by locals when I set out researching restaurants to book for our monthly Team get-together at work. I contacted Luca (as my booking was for 12 people) and he was incredible at helping me secure the table and even agreed to organise the pre-order (so we could avoid ordering upon arrival. Luca was super responsive via email and made everything EASY. He recommended we ordered the sharing boards as our starters, and that was such a good idea. We ordered 4 boards for a table of 12 and it was fabulous. Everything was OUTSTANDING. The service!! The food!! The wine!! Upon arrival the pre-order was confirmed with me and they had prepared name place cards so they knew who was eating what. They were attentive with our dietary requirements and the sommelier was on hand to help us choose two different red wines to suit all guests. Thank you so much - we'll be back.

Meine Frau und ich waren auf Empfehlung hier: Ein kulinarisches Erlebnis! Die Weinkarte ist sehr gut. Und das Essen ist köstlich: Als Vorspeisen hatten wir Muscheln und Bruschetta und zum Hauptgericht die Ravioli und die Rinderbacke (beef cheek). Frisch zubereitet und geschmacklich perfekt. Das Rind war so zart, es war ein Traum. Perfekt auch der nette und aufmerksame Service!

Disappointing for the money. The restaurant looks lovely, and was very busy. Our server was very pleasant but service was slow which meant that they were rushing to get our table back. They refused to make a starter portion of pasta for me which I can’t understand! I didn’t like any of the starters on the menu so I went without which was disappointing. My main of tuna was cooked lovely, but I didn’t like the vegetables at all - undercooked and very bitter taste and the cashew crumb didn’t add anything to the dish. My panna cotta dessert was however delicious. The bill with wine was just under £500 for 5 of us so overall I wasn’t impressed, and wouldn’t go back. I’m afraid that I’ve had much better Italian food for a fraction of the cost elsewhere.

Great food, atmosphere and staff is amazing .Highly recommended beef and risotto.

Foi primeiro restaurante mais chique que eu fui. O lugar era incrível, conseguimos ir mesmo sem reservar mesa. A comida também estava excelente, mas o risoto estava bem morno, não estava quente. O preço foi um pouco mais elevado, mas eu já esperava. O atendimento foi ótimo por um garçom que eu esqueci o nome, mas no entanto uma das atendentes não foi muito simpática e parecia estar com má vontade, as vezes com um olhar de julgamento. Eu fiquei com um pouco de frio, porque sentei na parte aberta. Mas eu amei a experiência.

Great wine menu. We enjoyed our bottle of Barbera d'asti. Attentive staff and friendly service. Pastas were quite good. We tried the spaghetti carbonara and pappardelle. However the appetizers were disappointing. Salad was nothing more than a bowl of lettuce/rocket with nothing else on/in it. Breads were dry and bland. Try the Affogato for dessert.

We made an impromptu visit to this restaurant during the Bank Holiday weekend whilst attending The Fringe Festival and the Edinburgh Tattoo. We were warmly welcomed and offered a seat on the outdoor terrace area. It was a lovely venue, quite intimate but relaxed. There was a good choice of food and drinks and the head waiter seemed very knowledgeable about the variety of wines we had to chose from. We had a lovely meal and the food was 10/10. We were served by a waitress called Julia was was exceptionally professional, friendly and attentive.

I enjoyed dinner at Devino a few nights ago with my family who were visiting for The Festival - overall it was a delightful experience. The service was excellent, striking a great balance of attentive and personal. Devino offers wine specials which they invite you to taste before ordering, along with food specials which was a nice touch. Our party enjoyed a sharing platter for starters which was delicious, and then carbonara / ragu / fish for mains. Desert was also great, with the tiramisu in particular a big hit with my husband. We were recommended to dine at this restaurant by a friend and we can see why - we would highly recommend to others, and would certainly return.
