My (now) husband and I are big foodies. When we got engaged, our dream honeymoon was to eat our way through Italy. With COVID, those plans changed very quickly. We downsized the wedding and booked a small, local honeymoon three days before the wedding. We...figured going somewhere nearby was better than going no where at all.
We wanted to do a fancy dinner for our last night in town and happened upon Divani. The restaurant was dim and intimate, which was perfect for our little celebration. We were seated by a romantic table right in the window. We made it just in time for Happy Hour, and when I saw a "Pop Rocks" cocktail on the menu I couldn't resist the whimsy of it. It was delicious! Not too sweet.
Most of our trip in town had involved food, so we were not overly hungry when we arrived. My husband talked me into trying the pierogis. The moment that first bite hit my lips I knew we had found something special. They immediately became the best food we had eaten all week (and it was a hotly contested title). The pierogis were quickly dethroned by our entrees. My duck was superb and perfectly crispy, but my husband's lasagna was like a slice of heaven.
Everything here is made from scratch, and you can absolutely taste the love that Chef John and Sous Chef Casey have put into this menu. There were classic flavors, as well as fun new favorites, and every bite was better than the last.
While the evening was already amazing from the food alone, Arielle and Analeigh really put the whole experience over the top. These women are so personable and knowledgeable. It felt like we were dining with old friends in their home. They took such amazing care of us, and for that I cannot thank them enough. When they found out we were celebrating our honeymoon, they took even better care of us. We laughed and trusted every recommendation that was made.
I am hard pressed to think we would have had a better meal in Italy. Thank you again so much to Analeigh & Arielle for taking such good care of us. This was such a special evening well always remember.More
