Brilliant food, beautiful wine and great atmosphere. Devine Food & Wine is a fabulous place for a lovely meal of high quality food, served with care and professionalism, and complemented with beautiful wine. We had a family event there and everyone loved the options on the set menu. The service of the team was outstanding. We wanted for nothing, they were attentive without being intrusive and they knew the menu well. The sommelier gave some fabulous ideas for wine for us to try. We just gave him our preferred style and let him choose. I have no idea what the wine was that I had, but it was some of the best I've tasted in years. You will not be disappointed in the experience at this restaurant.

The set-up and décor is sympathetic to the Italian style. The staff were mostly attentive, the quality of the food was exceptional, the wine selection substantial, and the atmosphere on the night was high energy. My only complaints are about the crammed seating, and how the space amplifies the noise of collective conversations - for someone whose hearing is deteriorating, it made for a very challenging time hearing my own voice and conversation.

A beautiful restaurant, excellent service, and fantastic food. The olive martini and the pâté were the stand outs for me. Will definitely be back

The meats selection antipasto was amazing and the pasta to die for. We asked the waitress to select a glass of white wine and a glass of red wine for us and they were perfect.
