BEST EXPERIENCE EVER

If I could get anyone who ventures near this restaurant to walk in the door I would. We ended up coming here because another restaurant fell through & it was meant to be. The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful & chic. The service was incredible with an amazing shout out to our serve Hoye (apologies for spelling if this is incorrect!) he was the perfect server who had many great suggestions & pairings for us to try. Being tourists he also gave great advice on the best way to spend our time visiting the city. If- WHEN I return, I hope to be met with him again.

Now onto the star of the show, the food. This goes down as my husband & I's best meal EVER. Which is hard to say seeing as he is a french winery chef with high standards. The food was fresh & flavorful & presented beautifully. Each serving was portioned perfectly that we left having an appetizer (Burrata was 11/10 as Burrata connoisseurs) getting two meals & splitting them (the Gnocchi & the Beef Pasta special) & lastly the Orange Cake. Despite having & finishing all this food we left perfectly full. No more no less.

Please if you are a local or a tourist go & see how incredible this restaurant is for yourself. You will truly thank yourself later.

Impaccable service. Tried the Rigatoni pasta, the sauce was great, but the pasta was a bit undercooked. Loved the burrata & tomatoes.

What an incredible experience. The owner was extremely friendly & welcoming, which made the whole evening feel special from the moment we walked in. The food was absolutely amazing… everything tasted fresh, authentic, & beautifully prepared. Order the salmon tartare & the rib-eye! The decor is stunning & created such an elegant atmosphere. On top of that, the service was a solid 10/10. The waiter was attentive, professional, & genuinely kind. We'll definitely be coming back.

We had an amazing evening at Donato. The restaurant itself is beautiful & has a great atmosphere, & the staff made us feel welcome right away with attentive & friendly service throughout the night. The drinks were excellent, & the food was just as impressive. The ribeye steak was cooked perfectly. Very tender, juicy, & full of flavor. We also tried the burrata salad, which I highly recommend. Overall, the quality of the food & the level of service made it a fantastic dining experience, & it's definitely a place we look forward to visiting again.
