D'Vino

On my second night in Madison I had another wonderful dining experience. We went to D'Vino and had a great meal. Things started off with some wonderful appetizers and really good bread. The service team was excellent and went out of their way to make it an enjoyable meal. And the location and atmosphere was equally good. Highly recommend.

Outstanding. I had forgotten what unbelievable service was. D'Vino has the most amazing staff, our waitress was just special. I did appreciate the Chef coming to each table to greet you and thank you for coming. I believe he usually comes to each table to explain the daily specials but it was so busy and he was needed in the kitchen. The clam pizza was as amazing as expected. GREAT place.

Amazing Italian + stellar wine makes for a pretty perfect dinner. If you live in downtown Madison or you're visiting, D'Vino is an absolute must! Service exceeded my expectations almost as much as the warm, inviting ambiance. The owner is the chef (and pastry chef) which you rarely hear about. With a Sicilian based theme, the food does not disappoint. I started with a pesto and pea filled arancino, which was hand-rolled and SO good. I followed with the mussels, which were in a white sauce, and I ended my meal with a classic tiramisu, which was one of the best I've had. The staff engaged in conversation, sharing the history of the restaurant throughout the evening, which just added to my positive experience. It's hard to find an intimate Italian neighborhood spot that hits the trifecta: delicious food, great customer service, and a welcoming ambiance. I highly recommend D'Vino!

Ambiance is delightful. Not to dark and rather cozy. Allows for intimacy and enjoyment. The service was 10/10. From owner, Dino, walking the room and taking time with each table, to the knowledgeable staff, and fantastic bartenders! They MADE the experience. Anything on the menu is Devine. We tried all the specials and nothing disappointed. It was fresh, well made, and properly served. Even with a delay in the kitchen, nothing came out incorrectly. The food was rich, flavorful, and felt comfortable. Highly recommend!! 10/10

FANTASTIC experience... can't say enough about this place. Perfect date night go-to. Ambiance is cozy, servers are attentive and friendly and the food is to die for!

Not authentic pasta, had no flavor and was watered down. Calamari and wine was pretty good, but overall not impressed.

Made friday night reservations for 4 and brought 2 friends. Nice ambiance inside - we ate outside to enjoy the beautiful weather- it's what you'd expect outside on king st. Waiter was inexperienced so timing was a little off but despite that he was very polite. My Martini Balsamico was really good. Appetizers were the Meatballs and Burrata bruschetta - both were delicious. Food was good though one friend did not enjoy the Carbonara as it was not like what she expected (I also ordered it but enjoyed it). Admittedly nothing like Carbonara I've ever had as the noodles were in a yolky broth instead of being coated (see picture). Lasagna had a great flavor due to beef short ribs, and Tortellini con pesto was good.

My family and I came for dinner this past Sunday night & we're not too impressed frankly disappointed . We are from Chicago and we're visiting my daughter, a UW student. We all have had some fantastic Italian food throughout the years. First of all, we were immediately surprised by the fact that our waiter failed to bring us any bread, butter or olive oil. When we asked for it,after ordering our appetizer's , we were informed that an order of bread for our table was an extra cost. That surprised us all. We went ahead and ordered it and When it did arrive it was cold bread. The owner came over and introduced himself and informed us of the specials for the night. I immediately heard lobster ravioli and decided to order it. My meal was personally bland without much flavor. My daughter ordered the shrimp scampi and that actually tasted good, but stated that it was a bit oily. My wife's chicken parmigiana was dry and the sauce did not have much flavor. My youngest daughter ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and she appeared to be the happiest at the table. We were there at the end of the night before closing and that may have had something to do with both the blandness and service, but unfortunately we all collectively decided that we would not be back to D'Vino anytime soon.

This place seemed very overpriced for the quality of the food.I had ordered an Old Fashioned which was served with more ice than any Old Fashioned I ever had.We ordered Arancini as an appetizer special, and it came out at room temperature and was not very flavorful.We paid $6 to add shrimp to our tortellini entree, and that gave us 2 shrimp.They told us how their tiramisu was the best around, however, it was served to us partially frozen.

Serendipitous flight cancelation led us toD'Vino in Madison Wisconsin. Great home-made tasting food..well presented,along with super drinks, ambiance and service. It was worth a trip!
