Soft-green walls, black-and-white photos and high ceilings illuminate the affluent crowd for lunch and dinner. The intimate family setting combined with the professional service just add to the fact that DIVINO is a little culinary diamond in the rough.

"Tired of paying high-ticket prices at neighboring Toscana, this is a wonderful alternative! Portions are generous and the menu is solid (and, at times, creative). A wonderful place to dine with other couples!"

"The staff was very attentive, polite and professional. I took my mom for a Mother's Day lunch and we were treated warmly and well. We sat at the small outside area (fits 4 small tables, but we were the only ones at that time, so it was great and private) and had a wonderful lunch together. Great neighborhood place!!!"

"When friends from beyond Santa Clarita are more than willing to drive to Barrington Court for dinner, you know there must something more than just friendship. It's our favorite dinner/meeting place for food, wine, relaxing and jabbering and appreciating our terrific host, Goran and the exceptional job he does at Divino."

"Divino is one of our favorite neighborhood spots because it never fails to deliver creative dishes with gracious service. We always know we can count on a lovely time whether its a serious dining adventure or just a quick bite. The specials are not to be missed as this is where the chef really gets to have fun and then, so do we."

"Went here while visiting the area on the recommendation of a friend, and we were not disappointed. I had the minestrone, which was not tomato based for once, and outstanding. I also had the spinach ravioli which was really good. My daughter had the gnocchi which was extremely light."

Favorite dishes (so far): grilled calamari, salad with burrata, rigatoni al ragu, veal chop."

"I've been to Divino several times. The service has always been outstanding and the ambiance is great as well. However, this time I found the pasta I ordered to be a very very small portion and didn't have the depth of flavor I normally experience. Nothing awful, just not what I expected. But I'll give Divino another try, for certain!"

"Divino is a very cozy place to enjoy a special event (Valentine's Day) as we did, but it is a delightful place to enjoy good food well prepared. The menu was creative, allowing for all sorts of tastes and had options from small plates to major feasts depending on the wants/needs of the diner. If we lived nearer, I'd become a regular. Sadly, we don't, so we won't. But when in Brentwood, it would be at the top of our list."
