"Tucked away on an unassuming corner of Brentwood Village, a little Italian osteria called Divino brims with the timeless charm of Florence, Italy. The restaurant, opened by Goran Milic in 1996, features a simple decor with an open view of the kitchen, wood paneling, stacked wine bottles, and white tablecloths. Since its debut, Milic’s long-lasting dedication to the community has established a true neighborhood gem in the Westside neighborhood. Divino’s ambience was influenced by the restaurants Milic frequented in Florence, and the menu covers flavors from the coast of the Adriatic, offering dishes like rigatoni al ragú, risotto all’ortolana, tagliata di carne, and branzino, among others. The essence of Italian cuisine at Divino lies in great ingredients, with a lengthy wine list predominantly from Italy. Early next year, Milic will open a speakeasy and events space called Upstairs on the second floor." - Olivia Bria
