Chef Enrico moves to Taiwan and works as a Head Chef in another Italian restaurant, making contacts in the Italian community and restaurant industry on and off island.

Divino Taipei opens its doors just blocks from the historic Xinyi Anhe neighborhood.

Divino Taipei wins its first Gambero Rosso award for excellence in Italian food and wine. The Divino group won this award for all eligible years until the award was discontinued in Taipei.

Focoso Taipei opens, just a few blocks from the original Divino, bringing a new style of Italian cuisine to the neighborhood, with a full bar and wood-grill.

Both Divino Taipei and Focoso Taipei are selected by Vogue Taiwan as two of the top five Italian restaurants in Taipei.

Chef Enrico and his team open Divino Enoteca in the Tianmu region of Taipei City, where he and his wife call home. (Yes, we started at the beginning of the pandemic!)

The Divino group explores selling wine and food directly to consumers throughout the pandemic as a safe way to keep the Divino Group afloat and to keep our team members employed.

The Divino group forms a strong employee team across our three locations; no one has left the company since this year!

Chef Enrico sends all of his staff to Italy for a paid holiday as a way to say thank you to them for their hard work throughout the pandemic, and to help each of them continue to evolve in their careers and understanding of Italian food/wine culture.

All three restaurants receive major upgrades to their locations, including renovations to the exterior and interior. We are proud to present this website to our customers to help all better understand our group's history and reservation policies.
