Les avis sur Ristorante Donato convergent vers une adresse italienne raffinée offrant une gamme variée allant des arancini et des salades à base de fenouil ou de betterave, aux plats de mer et pâtes savoureuses, avec des vedettes comme le branzino et le tartare de thon; le cadre élégant et l'ambiance conviviale font l'unanimité, tout comme un service rapide et professionnel qui peut toutefois varier; les prix sont fréquemment jugés élevés et certaines portions suscitent des réserves sur le rapport qualité-prix, tandis que les desserts et les touches de service sont parfois mémorables mais d'autres fois décevants; en somme, Ristorante Donato ressort comme une destination prisée pour une cuisine italienne bien exécutée et un cadre soigné, avec des saveurs appréciées et une atmosphère qui peut séduire autant les occasions professionnelles que les sorties entre amis, à condition d'accepter des variations de constance et de prix.
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.
Superb service, food & drinks. Our waitress Marissa, I believe her name was exceptionial in recommending drinks & food & was very friendly. The best food & overall experience we've had in Montreal our whole trip.
The food was amazing, but the service was subpar. It took our waiter almost 30 minutes just to ask us which drinks we wanted & another 20 minutes to receive them. He never bothered to ask us if we were ready to order (& we've chosen our plates within 10-15 minutes from sitting down) , we had to ask him if we could order our plates & he seemed annoyed by our request as if it hasn't been almost an hour we've been waiting. Lol Other than that, the food was great & everyone else gave us a good friendly service.
Super bon service, super bon drink. & la bouffe est juste excellente. Le pain servis au début est vraiment bon. La salade cesar est un indispensable, fraiche & croquante. Les pates au lobster sont vraiment bonne & les rosé également
