The staff are helpful and professional. The food service is very good and the staff recommend wine that would accompany food on request.On my next visit to Sydney I willl definitely be coming back to this place.
The Izzillo brothers are back on the Sydney CBD map in a big way. Massive and well structured wine list paired with sharp and intuitive service. Personality and casual professionalism ensure customers are at ease. Interesting and approachable menu. Definitely worth a visit. And more than likely a weekly repeat visit.
I had a wonderful meal with superb accompanying wines by the glass (ahh that Chablis...). Food (linguini) was excellent. Thoughtful service with good recommendations from David the waiter and a warm professional overview from the manager. A welcoming refuge for me as a solo diner this evening- the perfect antidote to a busy conference.

We loved the wine and the food, but we adored our waitress - Cetura. Would highly recommend! :)
What a bar!!!!!! Fantastic atmosphere, great selection of wines, superb food & wonderful staff!!!! Highly recommend!!!!
One of my favourites - consistently great service, food and ambience. To quote my Italian food connoisseur friend "the best risotto I have ever had"
Wonderful ambiance, fresh and flavourful food prepared to perfection and beautifully attentive, perfectly-mannered staff. Will definitely be back! :-)
Such a fun night. This place has it all - wine, food and atmosphere. It may well become our every Friday night spot!
A fabulous wine bar/restaurant with a great atmosphere. The fig and prosciutto starter is amazing as is the chocolate dessert. Very Friendly and attentive staff.
Great evening ... Great wine and food . Thank you . Oh and also best Lemonchillo and caprese I have tasted . Thank you
Had dinner at Devine recently & all I can say is WOW! The food was incredible (had the TAPAS menu). Didn't even get around to the wine(too busy enjoying the food), but will do next time. The separate rooms r a gr8 idea too, for peaceful dining without noise. Can't wait to return! Loved it! :)
In true Italian fashion the menu is divided into starters, carbs, mains and sides. We decided to share an antipasto board ($38 for two people) as entree. It was such a generous portion with a selected cured meat and mozzarella we had to take a break before conquering the main course. The mozzarella is as fresh and creamy as it gets, it ticks all the boxes.
Nice ambience and comfortable seating and a fantastic antipasto board. The zucchini relish and buffalo mozzarella were great! There was complimentary focaccia with olive oil and balsamic vinegar provided as well. Friendly service too!
My partner and I came here for Friday night dinner after work. It was a loud, vivacious setting with lots of bottles of wine on display across the walls. The service was attentive and welcoming.
We ordered from the menu including:
- an entree which consisting of polenta fries,
- mains including Gnocchi and Lamb Orecchiette,
- a side to share which was rosemary potatoes
- and a glass of red each
We came here on a spur-the-moment type of decision, and with Dimmi offering 20% off our food bill, we couldn’t resist booking it. The only thing I was not pleased about was the ambience (it was very loud inside) but the service and food override that issue. The positive reviews measure up, and the food and service was so good, I’d definitely consider coming back here and paying full price next time.
This is the third time we've been here, and the first time we've eaten in the restaurant at the back (because we were four people rather than two). It never fails to please. Great food, comprehensive wine list, and friendly, professional service.
Loved it. Great service. Place really buzzing. Very mixed crowd from hipsters to grandmas. Service excellent food good. Wine brilliant.
Service, food, wine and atosphere all lovely. I loved the large selection of entree/ tapas styled dishes available. Which was great for sharing. No need to order mains. Just order a stack of tapas.
Business lunch here today.
As always friendly and very accommodating service.
The wines here a really a standout. Tell the sommelier your preferred style and I pretty much guarantee you will not be disappointed by the recommendation - I never have. Had a beautiful Shiraz today, everyone was happy.
The pork belly special was so good, and as always side vege was perfect.
Love this place.
Devine is exactly that - Devine! What an extensive wine list, we had the most beautiful Sav paired with our pizzas ; the ambiance is unbeatable. Such a hidden gem in a busy location - if you're looking to impress a special someone, this is the place to go. Simply gorgeous with attentive professional service.
Great wine list, cocktails and menu.
Service is on point. The venue is cosy and romantic with the bare brick walls.
Definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended.
Excellent service and top end in some dishes such as the fish and lamb. There is a warm atmosphere resplendent in dark wood and dim lighting which is appealing. Some dishes need a lot of work such as the very average and grossly under serving of antipasto - felt like a supermarket deli! Wines are extremely pricey and there are basically no bottles under $60!! From the outside on the street you would think this is a very average eatery so it really needs to create a statement for what they charge when you enter through the doors.
one of the best intimate eateries in the CBD. Lots of ambience and food was amazing. Took the wife here recently and never fails to deliver.

We had the school prawns as a starter to share, steak and prawn & calamari risotto for mains with a side of fries then shared the rhubarb crumble for dessert. One observation is they're very heavy handed with the salt. The steak and risotto weren't inedible by any stretch of the imagination but there were many pauses and swigs of water while consuming the mains. One beer and two wines saw the total bill $150.

Goats Cheese, Prosciutto and Crisp Rocket Pizza. Since this place is across the road from my office, I frequent this place for catch up lunches, and also dinner and drinks after work. Every time I come here I am delighted by the great range of wine and simple but tasty food.
This particular Monday night I caught up with my girlfriend at the ‘bar’ area. I wanted some cider which they were out of...too bad and I don’t blame them as they are a wine bar not a brewery, but this night I felt like something crisp and light, so I had a beer recommended by the waiter, which I really enjoyed.
We had the Goats Cheese, Prosciutto & Crisp Rocket pizza $18 and an Antipasto to Share $34. The pizza base was thin and crispy, whilst the toppings were delightfully tasty; the warm creamy goats cheese and the saltiness of prosciutto was a match made in heaven. That with a couple of glasses of drinks, the total came to around $140 for two (including tip), which was worth every money. Totally satisfied with the service and food.
The pizza was so amazing that I have not stopped raving about it in the office ever since!
Thank you for another wonderful night, will see you again soon.
Still good after all these years.....
Have visited this wine bar twice on trips to Sydney and love the wine selection, especially unusual wines. Ate here last time and tapas food really good. If you like good wine, food and atmosphere, this is the place.
For Wine Lovers. Sadly unlike my title I am not a wine lover. I came to this place for a catch up with a few friends, you can expect and extensive wine list, with so much variety even some of the waiters can't help you. The service is great, occasionally they will let you try small samples in case you weren't sure of popping a bottle. Great atmosphere and lighting for an intimate gathering. The food is decent, highly recommend the duck pate, not as salty as others I've had. They offer you generous servings of bread.

Was visiting Sydney for work and found this place near to my hotel as I was dining alone but wanted something reasonably nice. It was a Friday night and the place was full of energy which was really welcoming. I was greeted quickly by a friendly waiter and he found me a lovely table in the restaurant away from the rather load bar area that I entered through. Unfortunately, the waitress that was obviously supposed to be looking after me all but ignored me all night. I suspect she won't last long as I had to ask other waitstaff a number of times for various things - more water, another wine, cutlery, a napkin - and each time the person that I asked seemed mortified that I either didn't already have the item or that I hadn't been preemptively offered it.
I had two glasses of Sangiovese, beef carpaccio for entree and the prawn penne for main. All was delicious and came to about $80 all up which I was happy with.
I might be back but probably wouldn't seek this place out again given the hit and miss service experience.
Awesome food, awesome service. Went there with the dimmi deal, wouldn't have been as happy paying full price but the meals were delicious, manager was friendly and not obnoxious with our wine selection and the other waiters were fast too. Also automatically took the dimmi discount off the bill for us so no hassle or nagging. Awesome!
Awesome meal. Had a lunch with 5 and we had a great time here. Food was delicious and the lamb was especially good. Wish the pannacotta was passionfruit as mentioned on the website as the mango one tasted like a mangopancake you ate at yumcha. Otherwise, from oysters, to prawns, to gnocchi, meatballs, lamb, veal, pasta.. all fantastic! A++ Service was friendly and easy
Always, always, this place never fails to deliver! Some wine bars have good wines and over-deliver on too nouveau, far-too-funky natural wines (done to death), but Andreas always backs his own wines. they range from mild and subtle or aromatic to downright far out and interesting! He is a great sommelier with vision and the balls to put different things out there that just taste so bloody good! And I know - I'm a winemaker, I like artistic wines.

Restaraunt Romance (pity about the company...). I've been to DeVine twice recently, and both times walked out very satisfied. The first was with a mate (ie a man date) and we worked our way through the tapas menu (the oysters and the quail were my picks). Add a couple of beers, a nice bottle of red, a lovely French-speaking waitress, a smaller-than-expected bill, together with candle-lit ambience and my mate was starting to give me the eye. Easy tiger, you're too hairy for me.
The second visit was solo, and I was able to concentrate more on the food and wine than the banter with my mate. The outcome, I was equally impressed, probably more so. I started with the grilled king prawns, moved on to the succulent duck breast gnocci and finished with the warm banana pudding. Not that I needed dessert, by this stage I looked like Little Jack Horner, but oh was it gooood! I accompanied each course with a beautiful glass of red, then dessert wine and I'm now basking in guilt free indulgence knowing that I'll burn it off tomorrow. Pity I don't have a date to rub my turgid belly as I fall asleep. Anyway, nuff said, get on the Devine gravy train!
8 people, 8 appetites, all deliriously happy.. We'll be back! Highlights ... Warm banana pudding, baby calamari, ocean trout, crème brûlée, beef medallions.... And then there was the winelist!
Great atmosphere friendly staff good food and a sensational wine list by the glass and the bottle.
Great service and great food. We ordered pappardelle and the spicy salami pizza with two glasses of wine. Beautiful calm atmosphere. Amazing selection of wines and other drinks.
Surprisingly good pasta!
And a great variety in their wine selection.
The location and atmosphere might be better for a lunch date rather than a romantic dinner
It is a tad more pricey
Had a wonderful experience at DeVine.
You can tell that it’s run by the owners who are always working in the restaurant.
We had a big birthday celebration for my sisters 50th birthday.
Organisation of the night was seamless from very good menu choice to stunning wine selection.
Service was perfect and the food delicious on the night.
Highly recommend for a big party, small intimate dinner or a just wine and cheese platter in the bar.
Great spot with a wide selection of wines and delicious pizzas! I came for the pate and got a free refill of bread! Loved the great service and vibes, will definitely be back.
One of the best restaurant in Sydney.
Food quality is amazing.
Service spot on.
Patrick our waiter knows his staff so well.
We had 3 drink.
Beer, white wine and red wine.
Every suggestion Patrick made was just spot in, blended with our food so good.
Highly recommended.
My partner and I had such a wonderful evening at De vine! We were greeted with a warm welcome and attended to throughout the evening with warmth.
We had the meatballs and Oysters to start. For Mains we had the 2 steaks and a bottle of Organic red wine. The steak was so succulent and perfectly cooked. We had the owner personally come over to the table to assist us with the selection of our wine and our waitress was extremely friendly and accommodating. To dine at Devine Food and Wine is an absolute Mediterranean adventure and I would recommend to anyone! We have already been twice and can’t wait to go again. Thank you to all of you!
Delicious food and fabulous service. Very cosy restaurant and packed of an evening.
It maybe 10 years since I was here last, but it remains as excellent as always in every way. The food, the wine list, the ambience, the staff and the service are all a credit to this delightful as ever establishment. One of my favourite go to places in Sydney’s CBD - a total institution. Whether it’s nipping in for wine and oysters or settling in for a full meal, De Vine never disappoints. Thank you!
