Divino Wine Studio - Ottawa, Ontario

This is by far my favourite restaurant in all of Ottawa. The food is exquisite and so refined, and the wine pairings are excellent. The staff is so welcoming and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is homey. Worth every penny!

Amazing space for a meeting/seminar, or private event. There was 30 ppl with a set menu. Apps, Mains (Highly Recc the “Anatra” - Pan Seared Duck) and dessert was 1st class! Served by the owner and staff - they were great!

DiVino has given me one of the best experiences I've had in a food establishment. The food was proper Sicilian, definitely the best Italian I've had in Ottawa ( compared to most of Little Italy, Downtown, and Byward Market ). The appetizer - stuffed olives - were neither greasy nor ... soggy : the flour around them was cooked just right, the softness of their stuffing contrasted nicely, and yet the olive in between remained in perfect consistency. The meatballs and all four desserts were just as good. The tiramisu and cake are underrated; although my sweet tooth preferred the cannoli and the white chocolate mousse. The place was spot-clean; even the kitchen, which you can easily spy on as it is set on the middle of the room. The tables have a decent amount of space between one another while the style sets off a cozy, dim environment perfect for any kind of weather. Finally, the staff was as friendly as anyone could be. One leaves that place believing they have made new friendships there. Read more

The food is absolutely fantastic. They are completely knowledgeable to allergies. My wife and daughter have celiac so they need it to be 100% gluten free. We had an amazing wine pairing with hand made gluten free gnocchi. Open concept kitchen so you can watch your meal being ... prepared. Price was fair and the atmosphere is amazing. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a restaurant that understands food allergies as they also cater to shellfish, vegetarian, vegan, sodium, sugar, nuts, berries and eggs and dairy. Give them a try. Update. I've now been back a few times and I love how the menu changes and they have fresh fun new ideas. Check out the pics posted of the duck leg with pomegranate and lentils and also the 60 hour slow cooked beef! Unbelievable taste and quality. Also great service from Eric and Pascale, thank you.

One of the greatest fine dinning in Ottawa. Owned by the awesome Eric, he is there to make your experience exceptional. The experience we had was perfect. From the moment we entered, Eric personally attended our table. Some of us asked for cocktails not included in the menu and he went ... out of his way to prepare what we asked for! After dining, he joined us to take pictures and celebrate a friend's birthday! In terms of the quality of the foods, very luscious and diverse choices. I didn't opt in for a 5 course. Instead my partner and I went for the grilled Mozzarella and wrapped smoked prosciutto for the appetizer and the duck for the main course! They were both absolutely phenomenal and exactly the kind of gastronomic dish I was looking for in a restaurant. I also tasted my friends five course and I was impressed with their cucumber soup. Who would have thought cucumber soup would taste great. I wasn't impressed with their beer selection, and absolutely not with the price of the beer ($23 for a mediocre 750 ml beer 🍻), but I guess I shouldn't have had beer in an italien restaurant and of course it did not change my 5/5 opinion about the restaurant and Eric!
