Un choix de vin parfait ça c’est clair et de très bons conseils. Helena aux petits soins et le staff au top également. Polpette extras, carpaccio de Wagyu étonnant et délicieux, les Vongole géniales. Petit Canoli pour finir j’aurais bien testé un autre dessert mais plus la place ! Merci on a adoré. On reviendra !

We dined at DeVine on a Tuesday evening, and were seated in the back room. There were a few large party tables back there, so the noise level was quite high. Service felt rushed and impersonal. The food was just OK, the fish was overcooked and the polenta chips were greasy. The ravioli was good. The red wine I ordered was too warm, the room itself felt too warm, may be the reason fir the warm wine. Maybe they were having a bad night, IDK.

My daughter & I went to De Vine after friends dined there and said how good it was. The restaurant is small, so definitely book a table, but has a wonderful & cosy ambience. The service was friendly and the food was delicious. Also has a long and fabulous wine & drinks list.
