DiVino Ristorante at Mandala Wines reviews
54 Great place for a meal at a reasonable price. Have a wine tasting before and select a wine you know you will like as you have tasted a few.
Definately be there many more times.
This is an amazing venue beautiful people beautiful surroundings and such amazing food and service on Sunday at my sister in laws 60 birthday if you like fine Italian food or just a beautiful pizza.
Fourth visit and a total disappointment. Frito misto was overcooked and the breast of whole duck to share was beyond over-cooked and inedible. Wait staff said they would advise kitchen but no apology. Obviously a bad day in the kitchen as previous visits were great. However the failure to address the shortcomings on the day means we will not return.
A beautiful restaurant with lovely views.
The service is very professional and attentive.
High quality produce created into a delicious meal. A fabulous dining experience!
Highly recommend the Lemon Mousse dessert
Lovely place with beautiful views and great food. The oven baked pizza was fantastic and the Wagyu beef steak was delicious. Reasonably priced for the quality of food and portion size. Good selection of wine available. Excellent service by the staff. Second time here, will definitely be back again. Highly recommended.
Pizza was amazing and so was their twist on a tiramisu. The pasta was far too salty for us though. Would still go back for the pizza.
We celebrated our 2022 work year dinner at DiVino's on the weekend and it was fabulous. You made the experience so easy for booking a function and service was 10/10. We went with sharing plates, more than enough to share with authentic Italian cuisine and wine to match. Thank you thank you thank you.
A la carte lunch option in this region is hard to come by, so DiVino is great when not everyone in the group wants a big lunch. Food was great. Everything was well cooked. The hall can get a bit loud once it fills up, but otherwise great.
We had a family and friend lunch gathering at DiVino last weekend, and the location, food, service, were excellent. We had a lovely relaxed time getting together and catching up, while Sofia and team took care of us all. Had a magical day! Highly recommend this restaurant!
Wonderful food, great atmosphere and perfect for families and large groups. The wines were amazing and we would love to come back.
Hosted our wedding here in December '22 and couldn't have had a better day. Sofia and her team went above and beyond to grant all our wishes and ensure that the day ran smoothly. Perfect location for anyone wanting a wedding at a winery which cares about not only picturesque scenery but more importantly good food and wine. Many guests commented that this was the best food that they have ever had at a wedding. Can't speak more highly of this place. Thanks again Sofia!
Had the best experience with DiVino Ristorante. From the moment I started making enquiries right through to the event itself, everything was so easy to organise and worked out perfectly. Sofia and the team are a dream to work with! Couldn't speak highly enough of this venue and their staff. Shout out to Amanda who was amazing on the day! Will definitely visit again and highly recommend.
We had our wedding ceremony and lunch here on a day after it bucketed down non stop. Sofia advised us best wet options and even though it didn’t rain on the day, the grounds were still soaking wet and in the end, the ceremony went smoothly with outside appropriate seating / heating/ flower arrangements- very happy!
Sofia, Luca and their team prepared an amazing and sumptuous meal for all of us and made our stomachs very happy. There was attention to detail and staff was attentive. Even the coffee was made in a barista way instead of coming from a pot. Our wedding cake was a prism of cannolis which was part of the dessert menu which Luca assembled in a clever way as we did not want to have a wedding cake.
Sofia was also very helpful in assisting my son and his friends set up music for them to play classical music the day before the wedding.
We would not hesitate to recommend others to have their celebratory functions or have lunch / dinner at Divino Ristorante.

The reds and sparkling were very acceptable, thanks. The Espresso martini was below par. The specials menu ridiculously poor with 1 out of 3 items unavailable. The main menu very disappointing as not representative of the online advertisement (missing a much-anticipated Crab Risotto). This was clarified as a disengagement between the winery's page vs the restaurant's page; DiVinio definitely needs to rectify this with Mandala! The calamari starter looked expensive but turned out to be for 2; a generous serving - you should clarify this on the menu. We shared two Prawn pizzas; very parsimonious topping - oh I wish I had ordered Dominos! Food: 2/5. I might drag this up overall to 3/5 given the comfortable setting, pleasant vista (cuddly bunny on queue) and the friendly, attentive service. Overall, given the wealth of dining opportunities in the region, very little chance of us returning.
The food was amazing, would definitely recommend having some more vegetarian options on board.
Outstanding experience!
Can’t talk highly enough of the environment, food and service. Allowed us to sit early at our perfect corner window table. Had a great GF and DF pizza and the lady even gave me beautiful marinated tomatoes to add to my pizza when I asked if we could add tomorrows. The tiramisu was awesome. We be back many more times in the future. Thank you to all the staff!
My partner and I dined at Divino last Thursday for lunch. We were the only people in the restaurant as we had an early reservation and was seated on a corner table with lovely views. Our server was lovely and attended to us when we needed it- she was not pushy and allowed us privacy which we appreciated as we don't like to be constantly asked if everything is okay. We didn't order much but was impressed with what we did. The pate was generous and while not silky the taste was still great. The cured salmon was also really good with a great balance of acidity, though I wish there was more dill flavour. The prawn pizza was our highlight- woodfired with a great tomato base and cheese. My partner even ate the zucchini which he normally doesn't like! They also provided chilli oil which actually had heat to it unlike other places which just taste like olive oil. Along with our lunch we had the Mandala wine tasting and Italian wine tasting-a great selection and nice change up and comparison. Mandala's fume blanc was out favourite, and we prefer red wine! All in all a great experience and will definitely come back for more of their menu next time we're in the Yarra.
Had an amazing lunch with my husband yesterday (May 5,2022) at Divino Restaurante at Mandala. Its our second time there but we both feel that the second time was definitely better than the first time. We opted for the "The Feed Me option". Lets just say we were stuffed! I had to takeaway one of the dessert (Canoli) The tiramisu was smooth, delicious and just perfect. Definitely be back to this place again. My sister and her parents in law are arriving in two weeks time from Barcelona and will be taking them to this place for sure.
Always nice dining experience with restaurants in wineries, especially this one. Even though the portion of the dishes are not as big as we expected but the flavor as well as the freshness of the ingredients are all magnificent. Nice place to enjoy few drinks and dining in with friends and family!
Absolutely delicious lunch, we went for the “feed me” option and enjoyed every mouthful. Just the right amount of food was presented & every bite was savoured! Staff were very friendly & helpful
