Service was nonexistent and the casarecce was honestly the worst dish I’ve ever had from a restaurant (for $18 as well, yikes). Salad was fantastic though and I would order that again. Just stay away from the pasta

To be clear, wonderful people and genuinely nice and seemingly hard working. I say that because that is the crux of the slight bit of negativity I’d have for this restaurant. First the food, that gets 5 stars, it’s flavorful, generous and always fresh. I haven’t really experienced a bad dish yet. First time, party of 2 and second time, party of 6. All the food was spot on and hot. The service, ugh. I don’t like being critical and sound negative but I just don’t think they understand the service bit. I say it like that because it has to be acceptable by management for them to be this way. Therefore I’ll say that they’re not trained properly. Touch base, take the order, deliver food and then you’re on an island. No one to be found. They might be too busy to check back or refill your drink, it seems like they’re slightly understaffed. But not great service. The atmosphere fulfills the urban grunge, rip off the sheetrock and expose everything that hip. Unfortunately that’s the basis of design in the bathrooms too and it ain’t pretty. I’m hoping I didn’t discourage your trip to try this place. The negatives I’ve mentioned do not get in the way of having a very good meal and that what’s brought me back a second time. I’m sure I’ll be again.

I’ve been to Donna’s multiple times and have always had a great experience. Last night I was there with a group of friends and unfortunately did not have the best experience. We ordered 10 minutes after sitting down and waited 2 hours for one of the entrees (spaghetti with vodka sauce). After being told multiple times that the pasta would be out soonWe were then offered a plate of pasta that was visibly cold that the waitress said was “someone else’s order they didnt want and we could have it”. We asked for the actual pasta we ordered to-go & ended up requesting that comped since we didn't want to wait longer. We never ended up receiving our order.I understand how fresh the food is, but 2 hours for spaghetti and sauce is unacceptable. Staff was very nice but was very let down by the experience.

We had a nice night eating outside at Donna's. Food was good. I had the RPI sandwich which was roast pork, broccoli rabe, and provolone on a roll. Great combination of ingredients. It would have been better if they hadn't forgot the provolone. Pizza was very good, as was our calamari.

Friendly people and a pleasant vibe with traditional Italian fare plus pizzas and salads. There's lots of space upstairs where you can order from the bar and also patio space behind the dining area.
So tonight Ed and I was giving the recommendation to try Donna’s by a Troy Police Sergeant, we had the pleasure of having Liz wait on us and she was the sweetest ever , was very helpful with suggestions, we will definitely be back , oh and the Orange wine perfect on this hot day , Thank you Liz

We had our rehearsal dinner at Donnas in the private event space. Everyone enjoyed the pizza and drinks. I heard from several people that they loved the hot honey and now can’t have pizza without it. The private space is beautiful and is a wonderful space closed off from the rest of the upstairs to enjoy a private meal with family and friends. It would be great for a multitude of celebrations. The room fits up to 20 people. Would not hestitate to book another event

STELLAR. Really impressive food quality and taste. Found everything we ordered to be outstanding. The chicken piccata and tagliatelle were some of the better dishes we have had in quite some time. No pictures we ate it all too quick. Will be back.

You guys make delicious food, but the problem is you were never open during the prime times when you should be as a business which tells me you probably won’t be around long, which is unfortunate. I hope you pass your recipes on to somebody else that’s it and that’s all
