Nous avons été servis par un jeune homme français (nous n'avons pas retenu son nom) très sympathique & qui aime son métier, & transmet ça dans son service. Ce fut un agréable moment. La salade de poulpe était particulièrement savoureuse.

Quelle belle découverte sur Sherbrooke Ouest. Nous avons passé un moment absolument délicieux dans ce restaurant.

La présentation des plats est soignée & chaque bouchée était savoureuse. J'ai particulièrement apprécié la cuisson parfaite du saumon servi avec sa petite salade fraîche. C'était un vrai régal.

L'ambiance est chaleureuse & idéale pour partager un bon repas. Nous repartons ravis & nous reviendrons certainement.

Nous aimons venir luncher ici car la table d'hôte à 42$ est d'un rapport qualité- prix excellent.
Le service lundi le 18 mai par notre serveuse est impeccable.
Le poulpe grillé, la salade de fenouil, les pâtes, la bavette de boeuf, le cannoli & le tiramisu ne déçoivent pas.
Ce serait parfait d'avoir des produits de saison comme les asperges au menu.
C'est notre 3e fois & il y en aura d'autres.

I was craving Italian food & went there for lunch. I ordered the Table d'hôtel. Both the Ceasar salad & the pasta were underwhelming. The tiramisu was good. Service was ok. Overpriced & underwhelming.

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.

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.

🍝✨ Ristorante Donato - Fine Dining with Flair ✨🍝

Walking in, the vibe immediately whispers fine dining meets business power lunch 💼🍷 - but don't worry, even in a dress with sneakers, I felt totally at home (& maybe even a little chic 😏). The place oozes elegance with its lush greenery 🌿, statement furniture, & those dreamy lighting fixtures that make you feel like you've stepped into a magazine spread. Bonus: the flowers at the entrance? So stunning we thought they were fake 🌸😂.

👨?🍳 Food Highlights:
• Arancini = fantabulous little golden bites of joy 🤌🧀.
• Beet salad = fresh, earthy, colorful - a plate that could double as art 🎨🥗.
• Fennel salad stole the show - crisp, refreshing, & dressed perfectly. It was so good I forgot to take a picture 📸 (food blogger fail!).
• Mushroom pasta 🍄: generous portion, beautifully cheesy with Parmesan snow ❄?🧀 - though slightly undercooked. Still tasty enough that I didn't send it back.
• Tiramisu = creamy but… meh. Missing that bold coffee + cocoa punch ☕🍫. The fruit on the side, however, did bring some redemption.
• Garlic focaccia = warm, fresh, fluffy carb-love 🥖💛. Complimentary, but tasted like it deserved its own spot on the menu.

🥂 My friend sipped her bubbly Prosecco with a grin, & the staff even slipped a candle into her dessert 🎂✨ for her birthday. Sweet touch!

👩?💼 Service: Good & efficient, but not overly warm. The hostess, however, was lovely & welcoming right from the start.

👉 Verdict: Donato is where you go when you want refined dining, gorgeous ambiance, & plates you'd never whip up at home. Some dishes absolutely sang 🎶 (hello fennel salad + arancini), others could use a bit more wow factor (sorry tiramisu 👀). Still, with the elegant décor & thoughtful touches, it's a place that makes you feel like you've traveled - even if you haven't hopped on a plane 🌍✈?.

It felt more like a formal fine dining environment or business meeting place, but I although I came in a dress a sneakers I was glad I picked that place. The arancinis were fantabulous! I loved the beet salad too. It is funny how you sit in a room & eat things you would not replicate at home, but it is not just that. You also pay to get to be in a decor with all those green plants ornaments, amazing furniture & lovely lighting fixtures. I may not travel much, but I do travel in the things that I see.
