Why aren’t more people talking about this place??!!!??My friends and I went tonight night for dinner and drinks because we saw they had the speakeasy and we love that vibe.We decided to sit at the bar. Immediately, the bartender, Steven/Stephen, starts telling us about the place and it’s rich history. He was so kind and helpful the whole night. He made sure he connected with us for a great experience.We ordered espresso martinis, because obviously. They were INCREDIBLE. You can get it with or without Baileys which was nice. We even got decaf espresso. The level of sweetness was just right. The foam was foaming. They were truly a treat. 10/10. I also ordered a Tiramisu martini which came with a lady finger on top. This was a little stronger but still nice and creamy with great foam. 9/10.The food was absolutely DIVINE. He told us the food is made fresh because they don’t have a freezer..?!?!!? Impressive if true. We started off with the Arancini because they are my religion. Mouthwatering. The rice was perfectly cooked. The crispy outside was amazing. The flavors melded together well. 10/10. I had the Spicy Rigs. It was made with homemade pasta…!!!!!!!!!! I am not a pasta girly but when it’s homemade…consider me a pasta girly. The sauce was smooth and creamy. The tomatoes really came through. I wish the Calabrian chilis poked through a little more for more of a spice. However, the flavors were still balanced. 9/10.The vibes were immaculate! We got there about 7. A DJ started playing music around 9:30. It turned into a club vibe which was shocking. The music was blaring so it did become hard to hear each other. The music was still good though.They do have HH Monday - Friday which seems like really great deals on drinks/food.I would 100000000% come back here and recommend it to anyone. I hope to try their sister restaurant soon, Hudson Prime Steakhouse, which is the only steakhouse in Irvington apparently!!!For me to live in Westchester all my life and to not have heard of this place before is crazy! It was so good.

Early holiday dinner. We started with a bottle of the Super Tuscan Red Blend. Reasonably priced for a restaurant and delicious. For the appetizers we chose the Caprese Tower and the Calamari (we thought it was fried - instead it was grilled in the sauce). Still a satisfying dish. For dinners we had the Frutta di Mare - one over linguini, the other over the squid ink linguini. We were somewhat disappointed with the pasta being overcooked - this is home made pasta after all. (That explains the four stars.) The third main was the Chicken Scarpariello over penne. No complaints there. All dishes were flavorful and generously portioned. We had leftovers to take home. We finished with coffees and shared the Brownie Ala Mode special. Delicious! Divino's coninues to be an excellent dining spot with the helpful, friendly and cordial staff, pleasant ambiance and delicious food. We will definitely be returning soon.

How have I not reviewed this amazing restaurant yet!? I absolutely love Divino and we drive almost 40 minutes to dine here because it's THAT good. I'm vegan and my husband is not and every time we have both enjoyed everything we got. Their extra special vegan menu is on Wednesdays (though they do have vegan options on their regular menu too) however, they are so wonderfully accommodating there that usually if you call ahead of your reservation they can make you something vegan. I was so happy when they were willing to accommodate me ordering off their vegan menu even on Christmas Eve! It made my Christmas Eve so incredibly special. I ordered the vegan eggplant rollatini which is INCREDIBLE, the artichokes (which are featured on the regular menu!) and the vegan chicken scarpariello. TO DIE FOR. The restaurant is dimly lit and romantic but not uptight and they even have a super cool speakeasy downstairs if you want to enjoy before or after dinner cocktails. I feel Divino deserves all 5 stars I've given and it's HANDS DOWN the best vegan Italian food I've found in all of Westchester and Putnam. Makes my Italian heart so happy! Thank you for existing Divino!

I came here on a weekend. It was genuinely wonderful. All of the food was great and actually good portion sizes for the price. The service was prompt. The decor was really nice. If you're in the area, this is a great option.

Wonderful option for Italian food in Hastings. For appetizers, the arancini were top notch. The zucchini fritters were ok. For entrees, I would definitely recommend the malfade, chicken parmigiana, or the cacio e pepe. The service was pleasant, but I felt like they were trying to rush us out the restaurant.
We went all out here. First, ambience is lovely. A very relaxed and cozy place. They had music playing, but not too loud and the dining room was chill. We made a reservation and spent about 2 hours here. I had a fig and pomegranate martini which was more on the fig side which was great. We had the Tuscan sausage app which was incredible. The crostini was crisp and perfect for dipping in the rich sauce. Main course I had the truffle mafalde and a chicken cutlet. Both excellent and perfectly cooked. The dessert was the only thing that was meh. We had the espresso crime brûlée but the top was not crispy and the custard was very liquid. Just seemed like it hadn't set and was unfinished. Wouldn't order that particular dish ever again.

Hosted a dinner for 17 people in the Speakeasy - The entire experience was top shelf. The room is beautifully decorated, the food and service was excellent. I highly recommend with no reservations. Divino hit it out of the park.

Came here on a Friday night around 9 , wasn’t what I was expecting. Restaurant was good (left a separate view for that) but the speakeasy was eh. Very dingy , wobbling tables. Bar area is small, and atmosphere was dead. Crowd/ppl seem to be middle age and older. No one younger than 30 there. It’s ok-ish.

Absolute phenomenal experience with all at Divino. I just hosted my son's baptism dinner here and everyone was amazed at the food and the service. Pricing was fair too! I would absolutely recommend this restaurant a million times over.

Quality service but all of our food was average or worse with the exception of our entree sides. No reason to separate this place from the million Italian restaurants in the tri-state area.
