Reviews Osteria Divino

My fave place in town! Everything from the gorgeous ambiance, great staff, and terrific music straight down to the amazing food ensures an experience that's never to be missed!

Great atmosphere, food and excellent espresso! A must in the area!

Love the service, wine and great music. It is truly one of my favorite Marin places.

Amazing gnocchi. Everything was so authentic.

Great ambiance, extremely fresh seafood pasta dish, and a Mexican Coke out of a glass bottle... what could be better?

Amazing salads, and delicious fresh pasta. Outstanding!

Incredible restaurant at Salsalito. Tge food and service are very tasty, and the menu is wide with many options from traditional italian food to local sea food. The space is also nice. Comfortable with beautiful furniture gives a good vibe to anyone seating any table for dinner. The service is algo great. Experience is incredible. I went with ny girldfriend in a Saturdsy night. strongly recommend for romantic dinner.

I first sauntered into this filigreed food dispensary on the waning tendrils of a brisky dusk's eve. Our maitre d, Zenbôgen (el Hermano primero), seated us promptly in the inky black pit of deepest despair, at our explicit request. Once deposited amongst the gemutlich mélange of plump hassocks, it took many fractions of a minute to receive our twenty seven menus by way of pneumatic tube. The band was playing some early Sugar Ray (under-rated!) on a haunted harmonium, likely pawned off Tom Waits. Its melody; a splinter of woe, lodged into my mind's ear: To this day, it provides the leitmotiv of my dankest duskdreams. We ordered off-menu, of course. Our server Stéfañyo, shunted through the bar space like some kind of mechanical sack of reanimated mismatched limbs, teetering on zirconium rails. We demanded a mango lassi and dragon roll. We were informed that as this is an Italian restaurant the best they could do was a musty satchel of vintage cordials. We acquiesced and were pleasantly confounded by their spurious provenance. Stéfañyo's black-lodge doppleganger, Stegbā, hovered on the edges of the bar and our consciousness, stalking our enjoyment of the growing night with the intensity matching the numerous racoons, possums, and other nocturnals screaming from the nearby storm drain on the corner of Johnson and Caledonia streets, in the shadows what must have once been a petrol station, but has since devolved into some manner of quaint optometry cult. Working our way through the meal involved much (mucho) masticating. The exposed bones of our lower mandibles preparing somewhat our nutritive bounty for the journey ahead. Canines pierced and the broad flat molars of our denisovan ancestors slid the blessings into the ganges of our gullet. Through the drips and dismal slips did slop a spiteful scene. The proteins ripped and alarms were tripped, but the food fell without a scream. That night, and for two thirds a fortnight following, my dreams were burdened by the spectre of that feast. The band's saccharine melody proved to be Rosetta Stone to appease the djinn of my torment. Great cappuccinos!

Had breakfast here and had a great experience! The waitress was very nice and warm with us. She made suggestions from the menu from which I chose one and my wife chose something of her own taste. Both meals we ordered (she ordered an omelette and I ordered poached eggs in a tomato sauce) were fantastic with the only complaint being that my meal was a bit small. A third egg or a meat would have made it perfect. Overall, I would highly recommend!

2022 March review: came back again and the food was all on point. The lamb, pork medallion, lasagna are must-gets. Great jazz duo playing live music too. Loved the dinner and will be back again soon. 2018 review: The burrata asian pear appetizer was a v great mix of flavors and textures. The mushroom pasta was good too.

This is the place you want to be to really enjoy a night out. Great Italian dishes ( and I am 100 % Italian ) , incredible service ( the best around Marin ) and a plus of live Jazz music with fantastic musicians. Every person starting from the chef , the honer and every staff member are always super nice. BRAVO!
