About Donna Margherita

Donna Margherita is a restaurant that offers excellent Italian food, making it a gem in the upper east side. The owner is a wonderful person who creates amazing food in his kitchen. The service is top-notch and welcoming, ensuring that guests feel taken care of. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, helping everyone feel right at home. The food is authentic, fresh, and flavorful, featuring unique dishes. The Burrata Pizza is highly recommended, described as creamy and perfectly balanced. Guests have been impressed with the exceptional Neapolitan pizza, which features abundant fresh ingredients, notably prosciutto di Parma, and a great crust. The seafood is phenomenal, fresh, flavorful, and cooked with real Italian mastery. It is also kid-friendly, providing high chairs and wonderful staff. Donna Margherita has been recognized by Gambero Rosso for its high-quality Italian food.

With a cozy and dimly lit interior, it feels romantic and intimate, perfect for couples and families, though some have noted that the inside is tiny. The outside area offers a larger setup, ideal for summer vibes, and dining outside on pleasant nights is a pleasure. The ingredients are simple yet packed with flavor, many of which are imported from Italy. Guests are encouraged to ask the chef about specials, often featuring seasonal goodies. Popular dishes include octopus salad, which is tender and dressed with lemon juice, and fried squash blossoms filled with cheese. The Linguine Mixto, a mix of seafood with a light red sauce, is a must-try. Every bite at Donna Margherita feels like a hug, making it more than just a meal; it’s an experience.
