    The door was held open for my girlfriend and I. Had a very friendly greeting when we walked in. We had crab, shrimp, and clams for an appetizer and all 3 were some of the best I’ve ever had. We got the grouper and the sausage stuffed tortellinis for entrees and they were both incredible. Impecable sauces. 10/10 experience all around

    Love celebrating our Anniversary at Donatello’s. My husband loves the Ossobuco and said it’s the best! I favor the Tortellini. The service is also top-notch. Thank you Donatello’s for offering such fine, classic Italian dishes.

    Donatello is always a pleasant, enjoyable experience. The food and service is always excellent. I don’t think it has a peer in Tampa.

    It was a good experience however the service was not great as it felt like everyone was in a rush, food was good however a little over priced in my opinion considering the portion and simplicity of some of the plates.
