Divino Wine Bar & Restaurant launches Regional Italian Nights

Edinburgh’s gourmet Italian destination begins monthly events by serving up classics from Lombardy

Edinburgh’s restaurant and wine bar Divino Enoteca is known for its modern and creative take on Italian cuisine, and now the eatery is taking that reputation a step further by offering a series of themed, regional dinners to celebrate the country’s variety of incredible flavours.

With menus specially developed by Divino’s head chef Andrea Calistro, the popular restaurant venue will prepare regional menus on two Thursdays each month, with a new region featured every month in a three-course menu with canapés and petit fours for £39, with the option of matching regional wines for an additional £26.

The series will begin by showcasing Lombardy on the 9th and 23rd of February. The northern Italian region encompasses Milan, Lake Como, Bergamo and more with a rich culinary history renowned for its natural bounty.

Full of rich, warming dishes, the menu will offer the perfect cuisine for the cold wintery months – featuring both traditional Lombardian dishes like Ossobuco and Risotto alla Milanese while showcasing the region’s most loved ingredients like polenta, porcini mushrooms, and panettone.

Following February’s Lombardy menu, the following months will continue a journey through northern Italy with Trentino Alto Adige in March, and Veneto in April, before travelling down to the southern regions as we head towards summer.
