Dined to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary. Food was very delicious and prepared. Our server checked on us often. Everything went well. Only negative comment was the beer could have been colder. Love this place. We definitely come back.

The food was decent and the wait staff were great. However the hostess/ owner was rude and her demeanor reeked of racism and/ or homophobia. Our brown, gay family with 4 kids walked in for our reservation and she looked like she did not want to seat us. She did not walk us to our table (which she did with every other white guest who walked in) and instead pointed us to our table in the back. The wait staff was lovely and friendly and the food was decent. On the way out, I thanked her thinking maybe I got it wrong, but she looked away and walked the other way. Hard pass!

Tonight was our first dining experience at Divina Cucina, a local Montrose restaurant we did not know existed ... and we will definitely return. It's a beautiful and intimate restaurant where all the staff were friendly, welcoming and ensured our experience was a good one, treating us as if we were guests in a home. The food presentation and taste were all wonderful. Highly recommend and we can understand why the place was packed out when we left.

We were a party of four celebrating my husband’s birthday. We ordered misto frito for appetizer, a bottle of San Giovese, shared beet with arugula salad and alfredo pasta, and finished it off with individual seafood dishes: cioppino, branzino, salmon and seabass. The waiter generously provided us with a birthday ice cream to share. Service was outstanding. We loved it and will come back to be certain!
