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.

This is our favorite restaurant to bring guests in town. The service is always friendly and efficient and the atmosphere is casual and vibrant. The food is always excellent and beautifully presented. My favorite on the menu is the risotto. The desserts are sublime and the wine menu is varied and a treat.

Donato&co. was a great dining experience when we stopped in for lunch. The menu had plenty of enticing options and everything we ordered was delicious, made with fresh ingredients and thoughtful preparation. The service stood out! Our waitress was personable, humorous, and attentive, which added a nice touch to the meal. The wine list was extensive though a bigger variety in price points would have been appreciated. Overall highly recommended for a casual yet elevated meal.
