DiVino Wine & Cocktail Bar in Dover - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Visited this lovely bar last Saturday 3rd August, great cocktails, great wine and great food ( cheeses, meats and bruschetta). But what really impresses is the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and the friendliness, attentiveness and helpfulness of the staff for whom nothing seemed too much trouble. This was our third visit and there will definitely be a fourth.

Great place, great staff. Keep it up.

Brilliant early evening Food was excellent

Great place staff made us very welcome and mixed some tasty classic drinks many thanks.

Great night out in sandwich and had to pop in for a cocktail or 2. Highly recommended

Apart from the building being beautiful, it's the staff and their hospitality that makes this place great 😁

Love this place! Fascinating setting in an old grocery shop with its original fittings. Beautiful wine and the food, though from a small menu, is delicious and very well executed. The sharing platters and music paper bread are highly recommended! A big thank you to the lovely staff, especially Jason, who went above and beyond the service we’re used to. We will be back!

Lovely platters and nice ambience.

Incredible wine and food (we had the platter). The waiters were fantastic, offering great recommendations and going the extra mile to talk us through the history of the place with photos when we asked.

This place has it all, great venue, good food, buzzing atmosphere with background music, friendly staff, reasonably priced wine and good quality well presented food. A small well thought out menu that is also reasonably priced. I just love it.

If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would. Came here for a birthday dinner with my boyfriend and it was absolutely fantastic. The food was delicious and so well presented and the cocktails were the best I've had. Jason really tipped the experience over the edge giving outstanding customer service, explaining how he made the cocktails, making sure we felt welcome and at home. He really made the night fun and just all round amazing

Such a nice place! The staff were very attentive and the food was just what we needed with the cocktails we ordered. Also dog friendly and water bowls provided for the dogs on arrival. Lovely little place, I’ll be back😊 thank you

Lovely, chilled atmosphere with polite and attentive staff. Jason makes amazing cocktails. Highly recommend the strawberry mojito and Hugo spritz. Nick puts a lot of care and work into making sure the food is an excellent standard. Veggie and vegan options available which is a huge bonus. Hidden gem of Sandwich and well worth a visit!

Fantastic atmosphere with so much history! It’s so awesome that the place has retained so much of its history. Hope to come back again very soon!

Top place to go in sandwich! Food was amazing! And the staff(Jason) service was spot on! Would recommend anyone going out in sandwich to go is here ******

This venue is absolutely superb, the cheese board and wine were very well presented and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our evening, we will certainly be back and the prices are very reasonable. Thanks.

Not been here for a couple of years but we returned in December and it was great again. Staff were excellent, the mood of the whole place was chilled with a good drinks selection.

Julia at Il Davinos kindly organised a wonderful party for me , as usual the service was warm and friendly. Drinks ,fabulous hot and cold food was enjoyed by all, all of my guests have let me know how much they enjoyed the evening. Thank you to all at Il Davinos for a perfect evening !

Nick and Jason made our night great cocktails and food was a great. Thank you.

We love DaVino’s. Interesting ‘listed’ interior. Excellent authentic Italian food and great selection of wines to suit all tastes and all budgets. Very friendly engaging staff.

Divino is the spot in Sandwich! Jason made 10/10 cocktails and was incredibly lovely through-out! Could not recommend a better spot than here, always friendly people, lovely atmosphere and brilliant drinks! Will be back again and again and again.

Lovely place ! Such a gorgeous place with an incredible selection of wines and really polite staff, Jasmine was very friendly and helpful.

The restaurant interior is aesthetically pleasing and interesting, with memorabilia, postcards and pictures revealing a little of the town's history. The food we had was very good and reasonably priced too. The waiter was friendly and attentive, but not overly so. We had a very nice evening overall and would heartily recommend this delightful place. It seems popular, so book in advance; each table was taken when we ate there.

Wonderful little find, gorgeous sharing platters, lovely wine and lovely service, quaint and enjoyable experience, we’ll worth a visit.

Beautiful spot, gorgeous reinvigoration of the old Grocery store next to Rose's Garage. Well worth a visit - great cocktails and wine list, thanks Jason and team for another cracking time xx

Fabulous venue for a special celebration! We chose DiVino for my private afternoon party with 30 family & friends for the wonderful ambience of this unique wine bar. Julia and her lovely team looked after us all with impeccable efficiency, providing both their delicious Antipasto and a variety of hot pasta dishes - which our guests raved about! The selection of Prosecco and wines were perfect. It’s very unusual to find such a delightful venue with equally fabulous staff. This is a very special place. A visit is a must.

Fantastic place- full of history, style and atmosphere with impeccable staff and phenominal food- enjoyed a wonderfully relaxed, sociable evening with cocktails, wine, nibbles and dinner- special thanks to waiter Sam for his service and head chef Nicholas who served up a work of art! Would highly recommend!

Divinos is such a beautiful place, my favourite to drink, the vibes and decor is perfect and Jason made us feel so welcome and appreciated , making such amazing drinks and the food cooked by Nicholas was delicious! I had my 21st birthday party with my whole family here as well due to it being a favourite of mine, I would 100% recommend it both for a lovely evening and an event!

Wonderful food and service. Great cocktails too. Intimate dining experience with authentic taste. Why would anyone eat at a chain restaurant?

Beautiful old shop (original wooden shelving and mirrors/glass) turned into a friendly wine/cocktail bar. Also does food. What a find!

Beautiful bar / restaurant with a French bistro vibe. Very accommodating with my husbands request for a dark & stormy. My mojito was lovely. They recommended the bruschetta which was amazing and everything felt like it was made with care and fresh ingredients. Well done guys! You deserve every success. X

You may be wondering why I've entitled this review Nicholas...well! This man alone brings the 5 star rating home for DiVinos wine bar! Put the fantastic historical building and grand selection of wines aside.. you could ask this man to plate up a tin of dog food and it would come out looking Michelin star! The level of attentiveness to each and every plate has simply just not been matched.. and with eating out being one of my main hobbies that is a BIG statement! You can always guarentee the quality of DiVinos / Luigis delicious Italian food, but we are literally blown away every time this man brings your plate to the table. Always a masterpiece! Symmetry, colours, portions, positioning - literally not a single piece of pasta falling out of line! It's like watching an artist at work! If I owned a restaurant anywhere in the world, Nicholas would be the first person I would poach for the all star team! Obviously usually in attendance with a great team who will cater to all of your fine wine requirements, a big fan of this place, always on our list of regular places to visit!

Dog friendly! Reasonably priced great wines, we also had the burrata platter and charcuterie platter, both were excellent!

Fab little place with so much history. Highly recommended 👌

Lovely decor inside, great sharing platters, nice choice of Italian wines. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely worth a visit

Lovely little bar and food was good. Would recommend

Went here to a surprise party yesterday. The restaurant/wine bar was really lovely. Friendly and efficient staff and the food was great. Hadn't been there before - didn't know it was there to be honest - but would certainly go there again. Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

Good cocktails, friendly staff. Best to reserve a table in advance. I wasn’t too overwhelmed with the nibbles but you can’t have everything. The decor is nice too.

Great atmosphere with original fittings of general store, large selection of wines, cocktails and excellent Italian Food. Although they had run out of Tiramisu that managed to source from Luigi's down the road. Pasta was perfectly al dente with rich tomato sauce.

Amazing place. Friendly staff and delicious food with bast wine selection and craft beers. Most amazing bruschetta....need to book.

Cayleigh greeted us and wad knew her wine! Bubbly but not invasive, a great host. Why Is this place empty. The meat platter was done by Nicholas the chef who needs to be far more confident in his abilities,as he's GOOD. Thus place is grown ups and food and wine lovers. Its not a kids place so a great place slip away from our younger teens?!

Staff were very friendly, food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. We hadn't intended eating, but the platters going to the next table looked so good we couldn't resist, we weren't disappointed! Simple food done well and a nice selection of drinks made for a very good evening

Lovely evening, great service and loved the platters!

What a find in a little cobbled street in Sandwich. DiVino is beautifully designed, loved the lighting and the furnishings. The cocktails are truly amazing, with a great selection too chose from and they clearly use the best quality spirits and ingredients. We loved it and have already revisited.🍸🍹

We went here for the first time at the weekend. We had cocktails and the sharing platter. Both were outstanding. Vast choice of cocktails. The service provided by the two young ladies and the young man making food was second to none. We will definitely...

what a nice place, its like going back to the 1960s don't change it its great!

Had our first visit yesterday to this lovely wine bar on my wife’s birthday. Four delicious cocktails served by a very lovely (Emily I think). She even went out of her way to call their” sister” business in town to get someone to bring over...

Interesting building - converted grocery shop, Arriving at 9.40, knowing that they closed at 10.00, we were abruptly informed that we would only be able to have one drink, which as it happened was all we wanted, by a tall blonde waitress who viewed us...

Awesome bar, great food and excellent service. The team really know their stuff.

We would like to thank Claudio and the Manager Emily and their staff for their extraordinary service and the incredible food and wine that they served tonight. They pulled out all the stops to give us a much needed meal when we had to walk...

Nice building, shame about the staff! Hardly anything on the menu was in stock.pretty much everything I have to say is in the review below. Staff spent more time outside then in.and we had to ask for everything.

Fabulous venue but that’s where it ended Atrocious service, had to ask for Drinks Starters Napkins Cutlery Water Wine glasses Staff spent more time smoking and drinking on the pavement When asked for coffee was told they were closing and we had to Leave Dreadful...

Fabulous cocktails and delicious food.

Great bar, lovely cocktails and sharing platter. Well organised to meet social distancing requirements.

What a find!! Fabulous wine bar, staff soooo friendly,professional,but a real laugh!! Make you feel at home straight away. Just go there!!!

lovely wine bar come nibbles really great staff we came out of there laughing was like a comedy evening we had cocktails wine and olives great staff would def recommend fun couple of hours

What a beauty this Wine Bar is. Still with original shop furniture from days gone by when it was a supplies store. The service was excellent ,loads of choice and a great atmosphere. Worth booking a table to avoid disappointment.

Great little wine bar that serves nibbles and more....We had aperitifs and nibbles and it was great. Good service and nice environment to sit and relax in.

Came across this lovely Italian wine bar last night wandering around Sandwich for a last drink before heading back to our hotel. Really nice chilled out atmosphere which felt like a little bit of Italia. Different from your usual wine bar or pub. I really...

If ever you want (read need) a perfectly balanced margarita, this is the place to visit. The sharing platter of cold cuts, cheese, bread and pickles is absolutely scrumptious. A place to visit again and again.

Divinos is one of our favourite places to visit in Sandwich. It is a very special bar with wonderful atmosphere. Food and drinks exceptional. Luigi is a very attentive host this is a great addition to his main restaurant by the quay "Luigi's" which is...

Great atmosphere and exquisite food

What a place! Please visit this gem. It has charm, atmosphere, quality and taste, what more do you want? The drinks were generous, the food excellent and the service was friendly and professional. We’ll definitely return.

Relaxed atmosphere and nice venue. Good for tasty snacks and new things coming along.

Helpful staff and really taste food

DiVino has a lovely ambience and serves fabulous wines and has a small Italian Menu. It is tucked away and seemingly not advertised, so we were lucky to chance upon it. The young woman serving was excellent and utterly charming. We found Sandwich pretty dull...

Excellent service and excellent food, we will be back!

We didn't eat but the drinks and service were exceptional. Couldn't recommend enough - looking forward to going back and trying some more delicious wines

Such a wonderful surprise to come across this great wine bar, I loved the unique decor! And the range of great wines and drinks - looking forward to a return visit to sample some Italian nibbles :)

Staff absolutely lovely. Dog friendly (a plus for us because as far as the kids are concerned we walking them). Cocktails are a must, and although the menu is fairly limited the food is first class.

Great vibe, excellent coffee and lovely Italian light bites. As I was driving and going out to eat that evening I didn’t get to sample the wines and slightly more substantial eats, however lovely ambiance, almost “hipster “ with an Italian atmosphere and lovely helpful...
