    We are regular customers because De Vine offer a great combination of excellent food, wine and service. Our latest visit was really great and we shared a variety of dishes that were all top quality - my personal favourite was the risotto but the scallops came a very close second. We enjoyed a delightful bottle of wine and the table staff and the sommelier were on the ball throughout our evening. You should definitely try this out if you like good food and want to be able to select from a great wine list!

    LOVE La Botte D'Oro - great food, lovely staff. The aromas hit you when you walk in the door. We were a group of 5 and everyone loved their meals. So fresh and full of flavour. I keep going back for the incredible mussels, and their pizzas are the best! Definitely a favourite in Leichhardt.
