Before covid they were amazing; now hmmm. I understand making $ but the quality is not great. I hate to say it but we probably won’t be back.

Wonderful atmosphere with great food and excellent service 😀

Donato's used to be a failsafe choice for great Italian food. That's why I invited two Italian friends to lunch there recently.

We were impressed by the measures the staff has taken during Covid, which was reassuring.

Since it was lunchtime we all ordered pizzas, 2 prosciutto cotto and a margherita.

The pizzas were just OK, the dough was chewy and dense.

Unfortunately we all had acid reflux and upset stomachs soon after finishing our lunch.

I'll put this down to a blip because in the past Donato's has been a great place for genuine Italian food, served in a warm and inviting ambience.

I responded to Open Table's confirmation email saying I would be there.

When we arrived, Enoteca Donato was completely shut down and locked up.

Your coordination with your customers could be improved. I went to additional expense because of your lack of coordination with Enoteca Donato.

Further, I don't appreciate Open Table cancelling some of my credits during the pandemic.

Made Open Table reservation- confirmed via Open Table. Restaurant locked up tight completely closed! Very frustrating and embarrassing as we had invited another couple! Unacceptable

So this is easy. This is one of those restaurants you enjoy every time you. The food is just amazing, their wines fantastic (try the 2015 Brunello by the glass!!!) and their spirits selection is of the finest (they now even have Bespoken Whiskeys!!!). This is a perfect place for any occasion. Staff makes me always feel special. Keep up the good work!!!

This is our favorite Italian restaurant in the area. The food is always outstanding and the service impeccable. They have a lovely outdoor area for those that are not yet comfortable eating indoors.

Great food and service. So nice to dine out again and have a knowledgeable and entertaining waiter.

Decent ambiance. Very good service. However, I have experienced better and more flavorful Italian cuisine considering the price I paid.

Our dinner group of six are all fully vaccinated so after a year's hiatus we met for an outdoor patio lunch at Donato Enoteca. All the food was fantastic and we had a lovely patio table surrounded on 3 sides by a lovely hedge. Very pretty! Most of our party ordered the sea bass, one the branzino, another a large salad and I got Guazzetto allo zafferano, a seafood stew with broth and fragola Sarda - all wonderful dishes! Two of our party had Polpo alla Griglia - grilled octopus appetizers, and I enjoyed a lovely house salad with Gorgonzola cheese. What a pleasure to be dining together [every one was masked except when dining - very safe and respectful atmosphere]. Great cappucino - no room for dessert! A lovely brunch outdoors - highly recommend!

we can't make it to Italia, but enjoying these delicious plates are just as good! Loved dining outdoors and enjoyed a refreshing Aperol Spritz!

Can't wait to return and most definitely will recommend to friends and family!

Awesome, as usual!

best Italian cuisine nice place quiet , excellent service

Our server was excellent and made our Anniversary extra special for me and my family!

Great food and service thank you

From start to finish, lunch was a perfect experience. The Bigoili E Coda and steak sandwich, along with wine was made to order, as always.

Great food and service.
Secured table distance. Comfortable time to spend.

Thanks.

Great time! lovely ambience , wine two good entrees one not so good Would def go back

New lamb dishes on lunch menu received raves from our group

Meh. The food was good, but it’s not hard to find good and great food in this area. But excellent value is tough to find here. Sadly, this restaurant is no exception.

The food and service is outstanding! This is not your typical Italian restaurant. I recommend the pasta with asparagus and oxtail. Delish! The pizza is super yummy.

Inside dining was too cold, might have been better outside with the heaters! I understand it is a difficult time, was a great dinner!

Love this place local favorite, great food great setting. Glad to see them back open especially with a familiar staff, menu, and even regulars

Good service and good food. Meeting expectations for a business meal

Our server and the staff were wonderful. Professional yet not hovering and very efficient. Pizza with Nduja sausage was perfectly cooked and amazing. The roasted Chicken simply prepared completely delicious and moist. Wonderful experience
....AGAIN!!

Expertly prepared, high quality ingredients, delivered with outstanding value. It's my go to restaurant for excellent, authentic Italian cuisine.

We always very much enjoy both the food and the service at Donato Enoteca. As of early March, one can eat both indoors and outdoors. Eating outdoors was fine, if a bit cold.

Great to be back out dining again. Great service and atmosphere - and of course delicious food! Highly recommend Donato Enoteca...

Was a great ambience and the staff were super friendly!! I had the squid ink pasta and it was made really well!!

A wonderful evening even if it was a bit chilly outside. We LOVED being at a restaurant and thought Donato's did a great job with distancing tables and creating ambiance. The service was outstanding and the food was delicious. Numerous wine selections and plenty of help from Juan, the sommelier, if you needed help. We will be back!!

Outstanding traditional Italian offerings from Chef Donato Scotti. Extensive Italian wine list. Brunello, Barolo, Barbaresco, Amarone ... Very professional staff. Great patio. Great location.

Excellent authentic Italian food, served by a gracious and highly capable staff. My go-to restaurant.

Authentic Italian food, great wine selection, good service, we`ll be back!!

This is such an awesome restaurant with high quality and "different" dishes to choose from. Impeccable and warming service throughout the entire meal. Water glasses were never empty and the wait staff knew when to engage and when to "let us talk".

You can always get a wonderful meal and experience here!!!!!

Great food, great service, and Donato is a good guy. Don’t miss the risotto with pork belly.

Enjoyed the meal outdoors. I felt safe eating out and it was very clean. Food was good.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in the area. The food is unique and of superb quality, the wines are delicious, and the wait staff is very friendly and responsive.

Always a great experience. Very friendly service, nice outdoor seating arrangement.

Sat outside and enjoyed the great food, lovely wine (recommended by our server as I didn't recognize any of the wines as they were all Italian) and excellent service! Great place in Redwood City.

We love this restaurant, and go as often as we can. Valentine's Day dinner was busy. They ran the operations so smoothly. They are such professionals! My one star drop is because they didn't have the full menu they've been working with lately. My guess is because it was a busy night and they wanted to keep things simple. I get it. The current menu is so heavy in meats; there are only a few non-meat/seafood items I like. I hope they go back to the bigger menu with more options.
