Everything was amazing here Service,ambiance and food was amazing Service : Elena was so attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu. She checked on us all the time and recommend us the perfect wine to go with our meals. Ambiance : We were sitting at this gorgeous patio , there was a very nice water fountain and beautiful hanging plants. Food: We had a beet and burrata salad , the burrata was so fresh and beets were nicely cooked with a gently sweet flavor . We also shared a seafood pasta and penne pesto pasta . They were both really good ,penne pesto was so creamy , pasta was cooked to perfection. Sea food pasta came with fresh pasta and assorted seafood it was amazing. We enjoyed our lunch with a white wine bottle, which it was recommended by our amazing server Elena. I can't wait to go back and try other items in the menu and also their 50% off wine bottles special on Wednesdays. We really enjoyed our experience, this is our new favorite Italian restaurant. read more

I'm not Italian, but I'm beginning to think their cuisine makes me wish I was. This place does a lot of things well, but the way our food came out, I could write a novel about the art of beautifully plated food. Our waiter was almost absurdly attentive, making sure my arnold palmer was near bottomless, and literally every dish we ordered, I would have licked the plate were it not considered so crass. However, with every bite of food, I felt myself breathing a sigh of relief there was still so much to try. I could go on and on about how well the plates had their flavors very well planned, and while I would love too, sometimes it's best to let the pictures do the talking this time. The cheese in my burrata and mozzarella pizza paired very nicely with some olive oil and I'll admit I was delighted they had these balsamic vinegar and Oliver oil glass containers to pour from that were so charming. To top it off, the place is beautifully designed. A little summer heat never killed anyone, but it was such a nice day to enjoy good food. There's a reason this place calls itself the divine kitchen... Absolutely try the dessert too, it somehow tastes even better than it looks... Cheers! read more

I don't think there is a mediocre Italian restaurant. Either it's good or bad. The ambience is very quaint. The service is very good. Parking is challenging. The food not so good. The pasta was so chewy I couldn't continue eating. Didn't want to ask them to take it back and cause a fuss since we were guests of others. Bruschetta was soggy. The Calamari sauce was very tomatoey. The Cesar salad was nothing special. I can make a better one at home. If they improve the food drastically , and offer a better parking accommodations, I would think it would be worth to give it a try. read more

Extremely friendly service, with a very charming covered patio (equipped with heaters, and fans for the warm days). Every dish we ordered was delicious and ample portions. You never felt hurried and can have meaningful conversations with your company. They have a very nice and extensive wine list, will need to come back to take advantage of their Wednesday wine promotion. read more

Love this place! The food is pretty good but the service could get very slow depending on how busy it is. I came for Christmas Eve so they had a Christmas Eve Menu if you wanted to get something from there. My favorite from here is their Gnocchi with Pink Sauce. It's super flavorful and filling even though there is a small amount. It is pretty pricey but the food is great! It is perfect for a cute date night or a family meal for a celebration/ or just to relax! The tiramisu was a little disappointing to me sadly and did not stand out. I was expecting it to be a bit better. The scallops were also a bit on the chewier side which is not my cup of tea. But overall, their pasta is great (I recommend to try it) read more

I love this restaurant! The ambience, staff and food are always amazing. Lucia, the owner has to be one of the most caring and warm individuals I've met. She and Fernando made our evening one to remember and ensured a return visit from us. I strongly recommend this restaurant and if you're not sure what to order ask Lucia or Fernando, they will not steer you wrong. Visit and enjoy! read more

We love this adorable Italian restaurant in Montrose. Not only does it have a European ambience inside, but the staff is so friendly and welcoming, especially our waiter, Nacho. At this visit, we ordered their special Seafood Pasta with pink vodka sauce, Pappardelle Arrabiata, Veal Piccata, and Margherita Pizza. As always, the food was delicious, fresh, and plentiful! Happy to be eating our leftovers for dinner. Definitely, bring the family here and enjoy their wonderful cooking! read more

My husband and I returned to Divina Cucina last night for dinner and we are thrilled to report just how wonderful our dinner was. our server recommended a fabulous salad with pears, prosciutto, burrata, and pecans, it was delicious. My husband had the chicken parmigiana and it was amazing, cooked to perfection. I had the saffron risotto and swordfish special which was also amazing, great flavor!! We can't wait to go back and will bring our friends and family. Thank you Lucia, you have put Divina Cucina at the top of our list for great food & service!! read more

One of my friends recommended this place, so I decided to give it a try yesterday and I'm glad I did. The food was really good, and everyone was super friendly. Alfredo was our server and he was awesome, very attentive, funny, and made sure we had everything we needed. He also gave us some great recommendations, which we really enjoyed! Definitely coming back again soon. read more

Divina was on my list of places to visit. It had been years since I had been there. It is a charming restaurant. The service was personable and super kind. The food was good nothing I ate was incredible. I think the chopped salad was great. I thought the price for a soda was crazy. I think I will give this place another shot. The pizza looked quite good as I saw it placed on other people's table. The restaurant itself is very welcoming and warm. The service was welcoming as well. read more

Alfredo!!!!! His service was the best. Every menu he recommended was so delicious. Fettuccini Alfredo was also good. We loved both Alfredo:-) Seafood in Pasta Di Mare Special cooked perfectly as well. We definitely will comeback to taste every other menu. read more

Amazing atmosphere! Great staff! Love the food! Love the elegance of the restaurant! Their soups are amazing!

Everything about the place is top tier, the interior is gorgeous with a nice ambiance and pleasant music that's not too loud. They have great happy hour and morning specials and the food is top tier. The food is amazingly delicious and at a very fair price. The serving sizes are always large and I always have enough to take to go. The servers Elena and Sandra are very attentive and kind. I love this place. No other reason to go to any other Italian place near by. 5/5 read more

Food was great Elena, so beautiful, kind , and welcoming. Our server was very attentive. We never knew his name but he was very sweet. The service was also great. The ambiance was very nice. Our Bus Boy Frankie was a delight. !!!! I had carpaccio I couldn't finish. Frankie took it wrapped it and kept it in the refrigerator until we were ready to leave. Thank you for having us. It was my guy's birthday also. They Frankie treated us a fabulous cake. See you all soon read more

Visited Divina Cucina for dinner and had a mixed experience. The seafood appetizer we ordered was great and very flavorful. However, the main pasta course was a bit disappointing--the pasta felt overcooked and the sauce was quite watery. Given the price point and the decent number of reviews,i expected a more consistent quality across all dishes. read more

Came back to Divina's for a birthday lunch after 20 years and we absolutely loved it. The ambience is warm and elegant. The server, Elena, and her helper was so friendly. They went above and beyond to provide all we need to give us a good experience. The pasta, pizza and dessert was delicious. The music was so soothing and perfect. Thank you read more

Parking: a bit strange. Their parking lot runs around the building, and if you're early enough, you can get a parking along the side. Atmosphere: a big tight on space, but cozy Service: terrific Food: everything was great. The pizza is very generous on the cheese, so that's something to consider, depending how big on cheese you are. Overall, I had a great time here and wouldn't mind coming back when in town. read more

This beautiful restaurant with terra cotta type flooring, wine bottles tastefully displayed and warm wood accents everywhere has such charm. Ignacio was our waiter and he thinks of eveyrthing to make the meal just perfect. The quiche was delicious served with roast potatoes & a variety of fresh cut fruit. Our other dish spaghetti bolognese is really a signature dish with such flavor. The meal always starts with a little amuse bouche (a tasty toast topped with a yummy topping.) Highly recommend this neighborhood favorite which is worth the drive for me. Montrose also has such cute little shops to wander into and window shop for a while. read more

At first when I went in, I wasn't sure if I wanted to stay at the restaurant, however, once we met Alfredo, our waiter, he made us feel at home and was genuinely kind towards us. This was our first time that I tried this restaurant out and Alfredo recommended some of the best dishes! We had an overall amazing experience because of those suggestions. Tasty and flavorful! I definitely will be going back! read more

Service was impeccable. The staff polite and friendly. We dined early to avoid crowds. The Caesar salad was fresh and delicious and large enough for two to share. The soup that day was cream of asparagus. What was a fabulous creation was slightly marred by oversalting of the soup. It was served nice and hot. Entree portions are generous. The tiny clams in the linguine with clam sauce tasted either frozen or canned. There was sand in the tiny bites and they did not bear the sweet, fresh taste and plumpness of the clams I have had elsewhere. I would add chopped Italian parsley to the dish for more flavor and color as is the custom in the traditional dish. I'd definitely dine there again only I will order something else like their salmon which is always a reliable choice. read more

I had never before tried linguine and clams, so I went out to Montrose to try it for the first time. Divina Cucina has officially gotten me hooked on that dish. The pasta was fresh and perfectly al dente. The clams were also very fresh, and there were so many of them! The sauce was absolutely delicious, light yet flavorful. The servers bring a huge block of Parmesan to your table and will grate as much as you want. Other recommendations of delicious dishes I've tried at this restaurant: - carpaccio - Sea bass - gnocchi I love their little outdoor patio, with heat lamps and sweet decor. Servers have terrific flair and take a lot of pride intheir restaurant. Montrose is a beautiful little town, and in my opinion, Divina Cucina is a restaurant well worth the drive. read more

Follow up visit and had another wonderful experience. Stopped in for dinner on a Sunday evening, making reservations a couple hours ahead. No wait upon arrival. This time, we sat in the inside dining area. Immediately welcomed by the staff, who once again took really good care of us. Nacho assisted us and he was fantastic...service is really excellent! DRINKS: Started with a couple cocktails off of the "Artisanal Cocktail" list, which are still $17. This time we tried a Classic Lemondrop, and a Negroni. Both were well made. We also added a glass of La Crema Chardonnay ($12), which was a good pour. FOOD: The menu is extensive, as well as a list of "daily specials". To start, we received a complimentary breadbasket, in addition to toast points with olive tapenade. For our entrées, we had the Pollo Milanese ($28), topped with arugula, thinly sliced baby artichokes, and shaved pecorino cheese; the Pollo alla Parmigiana ($28), which had a beautifully, crispy crust and loaded with melted, gooey mozzarella cheese; and Pasta di Mare Special ($38), loaded with seafood over spinach linguini. Portions are big, and we had enough to take home for a second meal. We finished it all off by sharing a slice of Cheesecake ($12) with a strawberry sauce...delicious! Overall, another wonderful evening with fantastic food, drinks, and great service. We'll definitely be returning, and I highly recommend you give Divina Cucina a try as well. read more

Incredible Food & Even Better Service! We had such an amazing dinner at this Italian gem! From start to finish, everything was perfection but what really made our night was our fantastic server, Alfredo. He was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive. You could tell he genuinely cared about our experience and had a true passion for the food. We started with the beet and burrata salad, which was fresh, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The mozzarella marinara was crispy on the outside, melty on the inside, and paired with a fresh marinara. For our main course, we ordered pasta, and it was cooked to absolute perfection. You can taste the authenticity in every bite. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, and with Alfredo assisting us we felt so welcomed. This was our first experience at Davina Cucina and to say we were beyond thrilled is an understatement. We'll definitely be back (and asking for Alfredo again!) read more

Such a great place. Food was exceptional. It was my first visit and there were so many enticing dishes on the menu, I will definitely be back.

This place had a full house on a Wednesday evening. Usually a sign of good food. We had a group of 8 people. We enjoyed several appetizers: fried mozzarella, bruschetta, and a mushroom dish. The bruschetta was especially good. The fried cheese was unique. Like a large triangle of cheese, fried up. It was good, but too much in my opinion. Better to have bitesize chunks. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana with veggies. It came with a few pieces of zucchini and purple mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were a bit weird, not much flavor. The zucchini was hardly noticeable. Not sure why restaurants treat vegetables like an afterthought. The eggplant parmigiana was mediocre at best. Dear wife had a shrimp pasta dish and the little critters were overcooked. Kind of disappointed considering the entree prices are well over $25 each for pasta. read more

Food was mediocre at best. The fettuccini Alfredo and carbonara were both very bland and the carbonara hardly had any pancetta in it. The arugula salad also had no taste, and hardly any pine nuts. Worth maybe 1/3 of the price Never coming back here again Service was ok in the beginning but then we got no attention after. Also we saw other tables being offered Parmesan for their pasta. No one ever offered us that. read more

Thanks to a UYE with Yelp friends in August, 2023, I thought I found one of the best places for Italian food in SoCal. Back for dinner with close work friends recently, and my excitement for Divina Cucina has been confirmed! 5 stars!!!!! Divina Cucina has amazing, delicious food, and I will definitely be back pretty soon. You cannot go wrong with the Filetto Gorgonzolla, the Pollo alla Parmigiana, or the Pasta di Mare (which was one of their specials on both trips I dined). The Angus beef tenderloin was cooked to perfection, a succulent medium-rare perfectly complimented by a rich and yummy Gorgonzolla sauce. The Chicken Parm was as cheesy-goodness delicious if you're not into beef; it was accompanied by perfectly cooked al dente pasta. Last but not least, if you're feeling like seafood, the seafood pasta offers a pasta with a rich sauce with a mound of delectable clams, mussels, salmon, and squid. Both group of Yelp friends at the UYE and my group of close work friends greatly enjoyed their meals, and I am so looking forward to coming back to try out other dishes from the really extensive menu. Equally impressive as the food at Divina Cucina is the staff. From the moment you step inside, you're not just a guest; you feel like a regular or even family. The staff is very super welcoming and friendly. Our server in particular had an amazing sense of humor and guided us through the extensive offerings in the menu. The food and staff at Divina Cucina makes this restaurant worthy of 5 stars, even though parking is very limited. Only a limited number parallel parking spots that winds around the restaurant is available, and if the restaurant is busy, chances are that you'll have to look for street parking. No valet service is available. There's plenty of free street parking available in nearby residential streets, however, and it's definitely an opportunity to burn off some of the delicious food! read more
