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.
I've been coming to this Italian restaurant for a while because I live close by & I've always enjoyed the food & the atmosphere. It's usually one of my go-to places for dinner or a date night, & I've recommended it to friends before.
However, during my last visit I had a very uncomfortable experience. While I was dining with someone, one of the waitresses made a comment to another staff member at the bar, & they both looked at us & laughed. It was very clear that the comment was about me & the person I was with. It made the situation awkward & honestly took away from what should have been a pleasant evening.
As someone who lives nearby & comes often, I expect to feel welcomed & respected. I hope the management addresses this with the staff so that other customers don't feel the same discomfort.
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.

Experience here was triple A. Toa who manages the restaurant was super kind & observant when it came to our experience. Gabriel who is our server was excellent & provided a dining experience we will never forget. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone trying to have a fun or casual time, the dining experience is dynamic & perfect for any type of night!
Unbelievable experience! Amazing host staff led by Tao. My server Gabriel was excellent & knowledgeable. Overall would recommend to anyone looking for a fine dining experience. Will definitely be back.
Meilleur tartare de thon que j'ai jamais goûté, incroyable! La pizza était très bonne , par contre, les pâtes je pense ça manque un peu de goût !
En tout une bonne adresse, je recommande fortement le tartare de thon, c'était hors menu mais top!!

Donato is a nice Italian restaurant with a small menu. The pasta was really good the first time we went, though I wish there were more options. The second time, I tried the steak, but it was overcooked - I had asked for medium, & it came burnt, so I wouldn't recommend the steak unless you make it very clear.
The pistachio tiramisu was absolutely delicious! I really hope they keep it on the menu. Overall, it's a good spot, but they could definitely add a bit more variety.
Merci à Akil & Tao pour le service incroyable. Toujours là au bon moment, dès que je finissais mon verre de vin quelqu'un était là directement pour le remplir. Ce restaurant a beaucoup de professionnalisme. Je le recommande fortement.
We loved Dinato's!! The food was great. We had several apps, pastas & pizzas. Our whole family ate family style & loved it. The decor is also very chic & welcoming. I highly recommend Dinato's!
I'm going to be a bit tougher in this review, just because the prices are a bit high for the food you get. First of all, the service & the atmosphere are wonderful! No notes. The food isn't bad, but it does feel over priced. For example, the half chicken, it's a higher price, which should make sense, because it's a half chicken. Except it's literally JUST A HALF CHICKEN. No garnish. No side. No starch. No vegetable. Just a half chicken on a plate. The other dish we ordered was a pasta dish with the vodka sauce. The sauce was great, but the pasta didn't feel freshly made. Which at those prices, I would expect fresh pasta. Overall, it was an ok experience. I don't think I'd recommend or go back unless the prices change.
This place is my favourite steakhouse in montreal. I like steak but Im not a die hard fan but this place makes me a die hard fan! Filet Mignon, Foie Gras, Red Wine Sauce, Black Truffle Do i need to say more!!! Its the best thing on the menu believe me! I took my boyfriend for his birthday & he loved it. The place is also beautiful & very demure. I recommend!

We now have so much respect for this place & will definitely be returning soon. Highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing food & a genuinely caring team!
Went for my friends Bachelorette! Was the best experience I've ever had! The food & service was amazing! The steak was my favourite! Would totally recommend & go back!
Excellent restaurant. Je recommande pour le menu qui a un rapport qualité prix imbattable. Le cadre est également sublime & participe à l'expérience culinaire du repas.
