    We had the most fabulous evening celebrating our daughters wedding. The service was impeccable, very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. We felt special from the time we walked in until leaving. They helped in making our evening a true memorable night.

    Always a family favorite - never disappoints. This trip was an unusual experience as we all ventured away from our 'standard entree' we 'always' get and each endeavored upon a special. As always the Bruschetta can't be beat. The pasta sampler is superb. The specials were all special. My son loves Donatello's dessert. Service is impeccable. Gino is the consummate host. Always an enjoyable evening at Donatello's.

    Had such a great time dining in the lounge at Donatello's. We enjoyed delicious cocktails, seafood appetizers, homemade pasta, steak entrees, and mousse cake desert. The live jazz trio, bartender, maitre d' and entire wait staff were absolute tops! Highly recommend.

    Donatello is an amazing Italian restaurant! The food was excellent fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Donatello isn’t your typical Italian spot; it offers an authentic experience with real, freshly prepared dishes crafted by their talented chef. What really stands out is their commitment to quality they source ingredients from local markets and don’t rely on frozen food. You can truly taste the difference. A great place overall, and definitely worth a visit!
