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.
Je suis allée pour le brunch avec des amis. Le resto est beau & le service était bon... mais la nourriture décevante, petit, sans gout, pas ouf, sans plus. Je reviens pas.

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.
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.

Nous avons invités notre famille pour la fête de Pâques.
Tous ont été ravis par la qualité des plats & que dire du service impeccable de Julien. D'un grand professionnalisme, Julien a su, avec son équipe agrémenter la soirée de tous nos convives.
Merci & longue vie au restaurant Donato!

Ristorante Donato - 5 Stars
From start to finish, everything at Ristorante Donato was flawless. The hostess was welcoming, the waiter attentive & knowledgeable. The Pizza Margherita had a perfect wood-fired crust & fresh, flavorful toppings. The Steak Bavette was tender & rich, cooked exactly right. The Penne Arrabbiata hit the perfect balance of spice & tang. Excellent service, exceptional food - a perfect dining experience.
The bread was delicious, fluffy & full of flavour. The pasta was al dente but a little too hard even so, the sauce was good but not worth the price, same for the pizza. The truffle parmesan fries only had a hint of truffle, which was disappointing. The service was quick & efficient & they agreed to cut a cake we brought.
For the girlies, the bathroom was very aesthetic for pictures
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!

Snow crab pasta was amazing, cocktails were fantastic! Thanks to the staff there, particularly our server Alex. Gotta make sure I come back while snow crabs are in season!
The atmosphere is nice, the owner is super NICE.
The food was below my expectations, but the owner was nice enough to come to our table & took the time to get our feedback & explain why the food can be different from our expectations & why might be different from other fungi pizza I had at the other places.
The tiramisu was very good.
I recently dined at Donato, a favourite haunt of mine in Westmount, & enjoyed a truly exceptional meal. Although an unfortunate incident occurred with dessert (through no fault of the staff), the team handled it with professionalism & grace.
Our server, Cynthia, & Manager Tao went above & beyond to rectify the situation, exceeding my expectations.
Bravo to the entire Donato team for delivering top-notch service & an amazing dining experience!
