Notte Divino

The grand piano and cocktail bar, couches and fireplace are intact, as is the more traditional front dining room as a new, late night “divino” slips into the former Osteria Divino space in downtown Sausalito. Curated by partners Johnny “Love” Metheny and Jaxton Funk, the new/old space is envisioned as a nightlife experience with live jazz, an extensive Italian wine list, and elevated cocktails such as a Lambrusco-topped Italian Sour, gin and chartreuse Serpente & Fiore, or a non-alcoholic Rosso & Tonic with house made hibiscus tea syrup and lemon.

​

The osteria’s long-running (12 years!) chef, Yovani Castillo, is bringing back the not-to-be-missed meat lasagna, full complement of house made pastas, and roasted Cornish game hen, as well as newer dishes like Tuscan-style seafood soup and curried shrimp scampi. A menu of late-night bar snacks, such as a charcuterie and cheese boards and house made focaccia, will be available after the kitchen closes.

​

And, to the delight of those in the know, head bartender Stephan Kaplan and head server Zenon Alvarez have returned. Weekend brunch with live music is in the works.
