I had an amazing experience at Donatella! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service made it even better. Paolo was incredible — he made us feel so welcome, was truly happy to serve us, and even spoke our language, which made the whole experience feel extra special. Highly recommend!

We came here for our anniversary. We had reservations for the terrace. However, when we arrived they advised us that a group had a party on the terrace and we could eat inside or outside (on a busy street during rush hour). We opted for inside. Another mistake - it was no quieter than the street with loud music blaring over the speakers. Horrible.

The food gets three stars because the artichoke heart appetizer and the pear/goat cheese salad were outstanding. The fettuccine was also very good. The Branzino, however was another story. It was hands down the worst Branzino I have ever eaten. It was not fresh, tasted bland and fishy. It was bad enough I sent it back (which I NEVER do). Then they offered us a complementary dessert to make up for it. Oops, after 15 minutes they came back and apologized but our choices for dessert were not available. But what they brought us was also fantastic!

The only bright spot was the service. Both the bartender and our waiter were phenomenal. Super-attentive and apologetic about the issues. The manager was also gracious and apologized profusely for the problem with the fish. They were good enough that I will give the place another try eventually. The service is that good!

My advice is try it on a night when they do not have an event. My guess is the kitchen is swamped and that is why the food was not so great. Avoid this place if they have a party/event. It will disappoint.

Waiter Paulo was leering over me waiting to see what I would put down for a tip in addition to the already existing 20% service tip on a $180 order for two people, and when I questioned him about it he got all snippy and rude. Unprofessional.

Donatella is an excellent Italian restaurant. The food is delicious! The cacio e pepe I tried was excellent — full of flavor, and the pasta was perfectly al dente, just as it should be. The service and the atmosphere were spectacular, and even the dessert was amazing. Highly recommend!

My God, what a delight to have dinner in this Italian restaurant. I’ll tell you about my experience. I live in Chicago and I went on vacation to Miami, Florida. I stayed near this restaurant and walking. I found it and decided to have dinner when I asked the girl for a table with a lot of politeness. She told me to accompany me and in her hands she had the menu. She gave her the option to choose the table she wanted and I chose the one I liked the most. Since then I felt very comfortable and pleased. After a short time the waiter introduced himself who would attend me. Very polite and very helpful. I ordered several very delicious starters. Then I ordered a pasta 🍝 with caviar, which was my favorite. Definitely at the end I finished I ordered a coffee ☕️ very delicious. I loved everything. I definitely when I return to Miami to this wonderful restaurant. The attention was excellent. The extra service.

We had a fantastic evening at Donatella Restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious—authentic Italian flavors with beautiful presentation that made every dish feel special. Ryan, our waitress, was very nice and added to the welcoming atmosphere with her friendly and attentive service. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable Italian dining experience.
