Divina Cucina Ristorante Italiano

About us

Divina Cucina was opened in 1996 by Alicia and Horacio Lavanchi with a vision to create a warm neighborhood restaurant inspired by the traditions of Italian cuisine and hospitality. Since its opening, the restaurant has become a beloved gathering place for the communities of Montrose, La Cañada, La Crescenta, and Glendale.

For many years, two generations of our guests have come to Divina Cucina to enjoy authentic Italian dishes, a welcoming atmosphere, and the simple pleasure of sharing a meal with family and friends. Our restaurant reflects the spirit of Italian dining, where good food, wine, and conversation bring people together around the table.

Today, Divina Cucina continues to serve the local community with the same dedication to hospitality and quality that has defined the restaurant since its beginning.

Most of our team members have been with us from the very beginning, and we are proud to have such a wonderful team here at Divina Cucina.

Fresh Ingredients

At Divina Cucina, we believe great Italian food begins with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Our kitchen uses carefully selected produce, seafood, herbs, and imported Italian products to create dishes that highlight natural flavors and traditional recipes. Every plate is prepared with attention to freshness, simplicity, and authentic Italian taste.

Our Wine List

At Divina Cucina, wine is an important part of the Italian dining experience. Our wine list features a thoughtful selection of Italian, French, and international wines chosen to complement our cuisine. From elegant reds to refreshing whites and sparkling wines, each bottle is selected to enhance the flavors of our dishes and to offer guests the pleasure of discovering new favorites. Whether enjoyed with a meal or shared among friends, wine is always meant to be part of the table at Divina Cucina.
