Restaurant Review: Divino, Calgary

Divino, situated in the restaurant maze of Stephen's Walk, stands out for the overall experience it provides and is well worth the cash they demand. Even on a freezing Febrary Saturday when the street was all but deserted, we were lucky to grab the last free table for two.

The wine list stands out for having a wonderful range of all wines, set out in the least-confusing way possible. Although no international wine expert, I do claim to know a few South African labels (intimately!) and we were amazed to find the cream of the crop on their wine menu - all wines that we have never found elsewhere in Canada.

We were well taken care of and had a wonderful time. Worth a trip to Calgary!

  2. Hi Desi,

    Sorry for the late reply! The bottle of wine we had was a Meerlust Rubicon - yummy! and they had several more from prestigious wine farms.

    Thanks for reading!
