Di’Vino Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Proviso Township

We recently discovered that our favorite chef, Gabriel Padilla, has a new Italian/Mediterranean restaurant located in Forest Park called Di'vino. We dined there for my husband's birthday and our wedding anniversary and enjoyed extraordinary food and excellent service. Even though the menu offers a vast array of delicious dishes (and great wine list, too) we know to always opt for Chef's specials and we're so glad we did. The Tuna and Sea Bass specials were cooked to perfection (and were even scrumptious leftovers the next day). The Pasta special (with anchovies) was equally delicious and the crispy octopus is a sensation. Our server, Maurizio, was exceptional. He was attentive and engaging and he elevated our entire experience with samplings of a variety of amazing desserts and great recommendations. We highly recommend this fantastic new restaurant and we'll be back many more times. Want to especially thank Chef Gabriel for making our celebration so special. We're so excited for your great success with this new venture and can't wait to see...

It's easy to drive right by this place and not know it's there, as the building is a non-descript, one-story, pale brick shoebox of a structure, but I'm so glad we were referred there by its big sister restaurant La Parra when they were booked solid one night.

Like La Parra in Berwyn, the food was exceptionally prepared and remarkably flavorful. We ordered the New Year's Eve special menu. A particular standout was the shrimp bisque starter course, which had a delightful mix of savory elements in each spoonful. I usually avoid ordering lobster, as it's frequently cooked too tough, but the chef at Di'Vino knew his stuff, and this lobster was deliciously tender and carefully seasoned.

The service was impressively attentive. Decor was sharp and contemporary.

I hope this restaurant gets the attention it deserves. It's a superb addition to the local dining scene. Just get a bigger sign out front so people...

I was scrolling Grubhub then decided I deserved better than fast food that’s going to be delivered cold. So went to Google and saw this place which I pass almost everyday without thought. I wish I caught my waiters name but he was a pleasure and very attentive. The fried octopus was unique and flavorful. Short rib wasn’t as tender as advertised but still quite delicious. I got a sample of the lobster bisque which honestly tasted like tomato soup to me. The bread pudding was excellent. I appreciate the balance and gelato on top. I got the mezcal cocktail which was also great. Also ordered tequila on the rocks. I was given a complimentary shot of the pistachio martini which was delicious. Overall ambience was lovely. You can have a great date night right in the burbs. Who knew? Overall, can’t wait to visit again to try different apps and their pasta. All of that was around $140...
