A pizzeria built around the wine list
DiVino by Grappolo is now open in Maitland, in the Maitland Social building on Horatio Avenue. It comes from the team behind Grappolo, and the pitch is an upscale take on the neighborhood pizzeria: naturally leavened, wood-fired pizzas, a deep list of Old World wines, and a dark, cinematic dining room designed for lingering.
The pizzas
Every pie is 12 inches and fired in the wood oven. The Margherita ($19) keeps it classic with San Marzano tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil, and Parmigiano Reggiano. The Salsiccia e Friarielli ($24) pairs Italian sausage with broccoli rabe and fresh chili, the Funghi ($23) skips the sauce for roasted mushrooms, Pecorino, and truffle oil, and the Bufalina ($26) comes topped with Prosciutto di Parma, cherry tomatoes, and arugula. A rotating Pizza del Chef is priced at market, and a 16-inch family-style pizza is available for takeout for $10 more.
Start with the antipasti
The starters are built for sharing. Look for Burrata Mediterranea ($16) over roasted heirloom tomatoes with pesto and pistachio crumble, Crostini di Polpo ($20) with octopus and white bean purée, Arancini alla Siciliana ($16), and Polpette al Ragù ($15). The Antipasto della Casa ($29) is a board of cheeses and Italian cured meats with warm rosemary focaccia, sized for two.
Save room for the Tiramisù della Casa ($10), a Cannolo Siciliano ($12), or a slice of Pastiera Napoletana ($12), the ricotta-and-wheat pastry from Naples.
Wine nights
Beyond dinner, DiVino hosts a monthly wine tasting you can reserve, and it takes private events.
Why We’re Hyped
North Orange County gets a pizza-and-wine spot with real range: a $19 Margherita on a weeknight, or burrata, octopus, a Bufalina, and a bottle from the Old World list when it’s date night.
