Bien que de nombreux convives décrivent leurs expériences comme mémorables et de haut niveau, notant l'accueil attentionné et l'énergie vibrante des lieux, certains commentaires soulèvent des préoccupations concernant le niveau sonore, les prix élevés et des incohérences occasionnelles dans la préparation des plats ou la taille des portions. Dans l'ensemble, l'établissement demeure un choix prisé tant pour les sorties décontractées que pour les événements spéciaux, bien que les avis restent partagés sur le rapport qualité-prix pour certains visiteurs.
I was in urgent need of a restroom, but when I came into this store & politely asked if I could use it, I was told I had to buy a drink from the bar first. It's really disappointing that everything is about money. A little kindness & compassion can go a long way.
Beautiful decor, nice atmosphere, & great customer service! The food was above expectations. We took burrata, octopus, calamari & steak. Very well done. One of the best margarita drinks we've ever had. The only one tiny disappointment was their pana cota for dessert. We hope to see cannoli in their menu next time ;) highly recommended
It is a nice place with good food & good drinks. The staff is friendly & the food arrived very quickly. The area is also clean & the ambiance was chill & welcoming. I had a lot of fun with my family over here.

Nous sommes allés au restaurant Donato & l'expérience a été excellente du début à la fin. L'accueil était magnifique & le service tout simplement impeccable. Les drinks étaient délicieux & très bien préparés. La nourriture était exceptionnelle… des plats de grande qualité, très savoureux & bien présentés. Commander le tartare! Le restaurant est également très beau & l'ambiance est vraiment agréable. Une très belle découverte, nous y retournerons certainement!
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.
I have been here a couple of times now & it's become one of my go-to's. Not necessarily just for italian food but for a good vibe, drinks, date wtv. The first time left abit of a sour taste in my mouth service wise. The waitress was very pushy & wanted to sell us on every single thing possible but no complaints about the last couple of times. Pasta dishes are great, Steak is fantastic. The pizza's are pretty good as well. They have a good dough. Bar is nice too. It definitly ain't cheap but what is these days. At least you don't leave there feeling scammed.
Had a great night here! We had to wait a bit for our table, but the manager Tao totally made up for it with a free round of drinks & free valet - super classy move. The food was delicious, & the vibe of the place was spot on. Great service, great atmosphere, & overall a really fun experience. Definitely coming back!
Enjoyed lunch yesterday with a friend at Ristorante Donato. The ambiance is elegant & lovely. The flowers at the entrance were so gorgeous we thought they were fake!
I selected the Table d'hôte, while my dining companion just ordered the pasta with mushrooms.
The fennel salad was the star of the meal for me, crisp & fresh with a tasty dressing. It was so good, I forgot to take a photo of it! I found the pasta slightly undercooked, however did not want to bother the kitchen to re-cook it. It was still tasty with a generous portion of mushrooms, served with freshly grated Parmesan. The portion was a good size.
The tiramisu was underwhelming. Although it was creamy, there was not much flavour of coffee or chocolate. The accompanying fruit was great!
Being a tea drinker, I found it odd that the restaurant doesn't offer the option of tea with the table d'hôte (only coffee).
My friend & I both enjoyed the complementary garlic focaccia, fresh & served warm. She enjoyed her glass of Prosecco!
Service was good but not overly warm or friendly (though the hostess was welcoming!).
We were celebrating my friend's birthday, & they were kind enough to put a candle in the dessert, which was appreciated.
Another unfortunate experience for me here. That marks 2 rather lousy dinners for me here.
Service was slow & our server was having issues with his voice & couldn't speak loud or hear us well. For that matter we couldn't hear him well either!
We ordered drinks & every time it would take longer to get the drinks than the food! But the worst part was I ordered the foie gras ravioli special & got some sort of pasta in a red sauce. When I asked if the foie gras was in the sauce already, the server looked shocked & said'no you ordered the VODKA pasta, not foie gras'. He did apologize, take the plate & replace it, but my dinner date sat alone with their meal while it got cold & waited for my proper order to get there. It was awkward. & NOTHING was done about it. No compensating for the mistake, no apology drink or dessert or anything. Any professional establishment would have done something for such a mistake.
This is the second time I've had a bad experience with no proper apology. The food is good, but I unfortunately won't be going back.
