Divino Ristorante Italiano 11585 U.S. 1 Oak Tree Plaza, North Palm Beach, FL 33408

"We waited for 50 minutes for the older gentleman waiter to take our order. Finally I notified the owner, who graciously provided us with a our new waitress, Antonella. She and Fernando were absolutely wonderful. Antonella was welcoming, attentive, friendly, and made us feel like family. Fernando was adorable and took the time to explain each of the desserts to us. The meal took 3.5 hours from seating to exit, but the food was WELL WORTH THE WAIT! We had the Calamari, Antipasto, Zucchini, and Caprese to start. All great size, fresh, and delicious. Dinner was Veal Ossobuco, Lasagna, and Frutti di Mare. We substituted the fettuccini for the risotto. Again, portions great, seafood plentiful, veal was fall-off-the-bone tender. Dessert was the Tartufo and Chocolate cake with ice cream. Both delicious and good size. Although we had a rocky start, we would DEFINITELY be back. The food is absolutely the BEST Italian cuisine anywhere around. Yes, it is pricey, but then everything we buy today as consumers has literally doubled in price since the pandemic."

"Overall food was above average but expensive vs the competition. Some entrees were appetizer portions making the price value even worse. If you're not careful with your selections you could walk out hungry. Too bad because the chief can cook. If the prices and portion sizes were better, this restaurant would be a regular stop."

"A nightmare experience at the least especially for the price. I do not give bad reviews on most restaurants but had to on this one. The dining room is very nice as I've been there before a year ago. The owner is very angry to say the least .You are not allowed bread until the meal is ordered so said the owner right off the bat. Huh? Now, Usually a glass of wine, with bread, before mealtime is not unusual and enjoyable, correct? Not here. They said "No bread "until you order, a command. I heard him the owner. "Waiters run around knowing nothing as well. (It was not packed with patrons by any means either and half empty) - half of restaurant was empty and so not the reason. It went down from there, food was horrible for two at a hefty cost. If you want to shell out 200 dollars for a few glasses of wine and simple veal, chicken dish have at it. Stay away please from this once upon a time nice place, ugh!!!!"

"OH MY GOODNESS …just had a horrible experience there and will never go back. After waiting for our food for an hour and 10 minutes after ordering, we called the owner over to the table to politely ask him to find out if something happened with our food. He wouldn’t even let me speak…came over screaming and told me he won’t listen to complaints. I asked him to please just listen to my complaint about the long wait and he told me if we wanted fast food, we should go to McDonald’s. It was an hour and 10 minutes after ordering! That was really the most insane experience and even though the food was good, the owner is angry and mean. Look at all my other restaurant reviews…they are all positive. Not this one. Trust me. Don’t go!"

"Very nice people, waiters, helpers. Very sweet. Ambience, well...nice. Food and drink prices - ABSURD. Any fish - $47 (about twice what it should be). Very small portions of vegetables. Bottom shelf (CC - $9/bottle!) drink price - wow - $16 per drink....no glasses of wine for under $12, most much higher, for standard stuff. Ever had $35 Lasagna? Here it is..........!! Ridiculous. And LOTS of rules - "no sharing, no splitting, no changes to the menu or you get upcharges, we want an 18% minimum tip" - and it's calculated on the check for you with tax included - Won't be back."
