Divina Cucina

Our neighbor took us this last weekend for our first time, we were seated promptly and the staff was courteous but not friendly. Seating very cramped and uncomfortable, have a disability and did not have room to move, meaning chairs almost touching. They need to remove one table in lower section to prevent customers and staff from bumping into you while you eat, I was bumped 5 times, wife and friend 3 times. Waitress was a little slow on follow up service. They may have been understaffed. Food was very good and tasteful with a good presentation. Desert was delicious. Wine and coffee was delightful. Cost of dinner was slightly overpriced, this could have been offset by more room and a little friendlier staff. We do not mind paying a little extra if full service is achieved. Would recommend to friends.

I am a gourmet cook myself. Years ago I lived in Italy and still miss a lot its excellent and down-to-earth trattorias. Divina Cucina has nothing to do with real Italian food. It is a clear American take on it. That means both: non quality ingredients and cooking technics. Appearance is OK, and it is true that Montrose area lacks decent places. However, after I visited the place a few times I stopped going there.

This place was recommended by a local friend who thought it was an authentic Italian restaurant. We're Italian, my husband is from Milan and I'm second generation Sicilian. We took the whole family out for dinner (a total of 8 people, two children 12 and 10). I think the server and staff assumed since we had two children in our party, we would be cheap tippers. The service was terrible, it seemed everyone else was being attended except us. We ordered two bottles of wine, which took forever and we're never asked if we wanted to order more! The food was average, not exceptional, olive garden flavor. As for the owner, he was yelling at the servers and wasn't even italian, they're from Argentina. Our children dine out every weekend and are VERY behaved. I will never go back to this place, they charged us 20% gratuity and for what? We might as well have ordered with the hostess and picked up the food from the cookline. Our complaint fell on deaf ears! Save your time and money and go somewhere else!

Made reservations for 5:30 Saturday, Nov 24 2007. We were a party of 8, we were seated promptly, water and a bruschetta were brought to us immediatly. Then the wait started - we watited over 1 hour for hour food. Service was very slow, the boss was yelling at the waiters, this was very rude. The food was ok for basic italian food. I thought it was on the expensive side for chicken and pasta.
The bill came to $215, but they charged my credit card $258, I called them and asked why they over charged, and was told I had to wait for the owner. Still waiting (2 days). Overall the restaurant was overcrowed and very loud. 2 stars is too much.

At Divina Cucina you can't go wrong! This is excellent Italian food, everything on the Menu is delicious.
The waiters and waitresses make you feel special every time and the atmosphere is just terrific. This place is very romantic and has a great wine menu. You can't go wrong at Divina and the prices are not bad at all for the amount of food you get.

If you are in the Montrose area check out Divina you will be glad you did!
