I previously dined at Ristorante Divino when they first moved into their location on Gervais Street. I don't remember much from that visit, except that my dad really enjoyed his lamb, and that I knew I was in a "fancy" restaurant when the server removed a small card and crumbed my table before the dessert course. I've never really considered going back, thinking it was too haute for me. Ten years later, I recently re-visited the restaurant, and fortunately my palate and dining experience in Columbia has improved enough to be able to appreciate Divino's for what it is - a fine dining establishment with great food and wine, and a helpful and knowledgeable staff.
