| - I've been to Divino a few times, mostly for wine in their lounge.
Located in the historic buildings along Stephen Avenue, Divino is a very upscale place, and I love all the brick facades inside.
They have an impressive selection of fine wines from around the globe. So if you ever want to impress anyone, take them here and just order any wine off the menu, because they have all been hand-selected and not one will disappoint.
In the lounge, they have a few appetizers to choose from to go with your wine, and here's where I start raving. Get the green beans. Trust me! They tempura batter and fry fresh green beans and serve them like french fries with a grainy mustard dipping sauce - it is to die for! They have pretty good pommes frites too, but at the end of the day, they're just fries.
The one time I've eaten here I had the black pepper linguine with chicken and tomatoes in a creamy sauce, and it was terrific. They give you a pretty big portion, too!
This definitely is not the kind of place to show up in sweatpants, but it's not so stuffy that you would feel uncomfortable. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, the food's great, and the wine is even better.
