Outstanding authentic Italian food in a large, pleasant open restaurant setting. Knowledgeable and attentive wait staff.

Our experience was exceptional, as always. The service is especially outstanding, not way over the top but just the right amount of "making sure everything is okay". I ordered the duck and it was excellent. I eat at Donato's often, as it is one of my favorite restaurants. Everyone I have invited for a meal has loved it ! Thank you for making our experience one we will not forget.

Waited for an entire hour to be served our main meal. The server made almost no effort to communicate about or apologize for the long delay other than a glancing comment as he breezed by murmuring our food was coming. That was a half hour after we ordered. Another half hour later, I asked where our food was and a different person came to our table apologizing but our food still hadn't come. After 10 more minutes, 3 of the 4 entrees were served at a tepid temperature and the 4th took several more minutes. We were offered no gesture of amends, not even one dessert to share among the 4 of us. Won't go back!

Lovely evening and experience. Great atmosphere, excellent service and the food was absolutely dreamy! No hesitation in going back, highly recommend this restaurant.

The cod, the steak, the duck, the vegetable sides...all four of us were pleased. My friend wished the duck portion to be a little greater, but no one went away hungry.

We had dinner at this restaurant as we are visiting our son studying in California. This experience at Donato restaurant wasn’t nice. We’ve been waiting 45 mn to get our meals and the portions were very small. 4 shrimps on a small salad for 25 dollars, same for the pastas… overpriced.

We had an amazing dinner! Loved the salumi platter and focaccia! The service was excellent

Jean

The pasta was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. We love the creative cocktails! The wine suggested for dinner matched the meal and helped bring out all the wonderful flavors of the fish and shellfish. Our desserts were beautiful and heavenly.

Donato is always consistent with the food, menu design, customer service and ambience. From the host to our server Jill and the dinner staff that greeted us on the way out, we had a wonderful experience and it made the birthday celebration a very special get together. Thank you!

Food was not the quality I expected. The burrata app was just a few liquidy blobs in a red sauce. All the breads were stale.

Every few months, my three friends and I meet at at Donato's for our respective birthdays. We always have a fabulous time. Great food, great environment and great service. Last Sunday we had the pleasure of being served by Jill. She was the best waiter ever. She added to the fun and was very attentive to our requests. We highly recommend Donato's for a place to celebrate or just have a good time.
