Absolutely good choice. We walked through York without any plans for early dinner and we stopped because from the wide opened windows there could be heard lovely Italian music. Nothing can be better than theme atmosphere filled by themed music in the background. Food was top class. We had pizza and seabass with gnocchi. Wine recommended from the wine list, absolutely gorgeous and worthy of the price. Lovely and helpful staff. We will be back for sure!0
Loved it! We did not have a reservation, but luckily there was a table for us (8 pm Friday night). The service was good and they were very quick. The portions were very good and the food was lovely for a great price. We went with the dinner menu which is a very good deal. Would recommend!
Like the look of the menu and so glad we stepped inside. Moktails are amazing (Redsea is liked whipped strawberries). Food was perfection and altered to dietary needs staff are friendly and attentive but not overly so. Will definitely come back
Great food and even greater service. Our waiter Saadet was so patient and understanding. 100% would recommend
We had the best experience. We were late for our reservation and they still managed to find a table for us. The service was amazing, Alice was our server and she was so so lovely! Our food came within 10 minutes of ordering and it was incredible!
Ate here last weekend (Feb 2025) as part of a big group for a birthday meal. The service was great, friendly and just the right pace and it was good value. The food was tasty and all fresh, I had calamari then lasagna and tiramisu, all excellent, maybe the best tiramisu I've ever eaten. Everyone in our group of 16 was happy with their food. They also brought out an extra birthday dessert for my dad which was really kind. Definitely recommend.
Ooh this was lovely! Great that this place had a gluten free menu too! We stayed a night in York, never having done so before and was a bit stumped for tea. So we just wandered through the streets and came across D'vine on Swinegate. It put us off initially as there was nobody else dining and even when we left there was only one other table in, but to be fair it was the Monday of the first week back to school for kids and parents. Inside was slightly dimmed lighting which gave a cosy romantic feel. We enjoyed their choice of music. Everything was clean and tidy. They have clear glass panels with nice black designs on separating various areas, which I particularly liked. The food a starter (deep fried Brie with a jam and a sourdough breads) for hubby gluten free (creamy mushrooms with breads) our mains were the same spaghetti in a creamy sauce with chicken and mushrooms, only hubbys was gluten free. The food was all hot and fresh. Staff were lovely.
We were stopping in York for a couple of nights, and booked this restaurant for dinner and the menu looked great. We were greeted and sat down straight away into a semi-full restaurant. Our drinks order was taken and these arrived swiftly. We opted for the three course set menu (three courses for 25, it's hard to say no to that!). All three courses were amazing, I couldn't criticize it at all. Portion sizes were very generous and food tasted great. Our server was amazing and checked back on us, was friendly and professional, and made for a really pleasant experience. The optional service charge wasn't a problem (I can see someone complained in a previous review) as the staff really deserved every penny - in fact I left them extra too for their outstanding service! 10/10 amazing food, amazing service, will definitely return if back in York and recommend to anyone visiting.
