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.

Amazing place & amazing atmosphere.
Such a pleasant service, our waiter Héol was top notch, his smile is unmatched & every recommendation was on point.
One of the best brunch spot in Montreal, & I'm a brunch guy !!
Excited to come back again for dinner, which I'm sure is nothing less than excellent.

Beautiful evening at Donato's!

Then restaurant was welcoming & beautiful atmosphere. We were welcome by a lovely hostess to our place. Our server Eddy was spot on the whole night with some nice recommandations for special & cocktails & wines. The beef tartare was phenomenal as well as the Bistecca! Would definitely recommend

We noticed the Maître D was involved during the service looking out for tables Wich is always a good thing. That's always a good sign of well managed establishment. Donato has a nice vibe with the choice of music & the lights. Will definitely come back!

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.

First visit to Donato this week & really enjoyed it. Beautiful space with a warm ambiance, attentive service, & overall a great vibe.

Had the conchiglie pasta with spicy tomato, cream & vodka sauce, which was delicious, paired with a nice glass of chianti. Simple, flavorful, & very well done. A very enjoyable night out

Très belle découverte au restaurant Donato !
La cuisine est excellente, avec des plats savoureux & bien présentés. La décoration est très sympa, l'ambiance est chaleureuse & agréable.

Mais ce qui fait vraiment la différence, c'est le service exceptionnel : une équipe très à l'écoute, attentionnée & professionnelle. On se sent vraiment bien accueilli du début à la fin.

Top steaks, & oesters. Excellent light desserts. Well balanced gluten free options over all. Service was warm & attentive. The space could use some acoustic panels or other absorption objects, as it was a bit on the loud side when busy. Yet over all nice experience. I would go again!

Last Sunday evening, without a reservation, we were graciously welcomed into Donato, & what followed was nothing short of perfection. The setting is beautiful-refined yet warm-& the staff's polished, kind, & deeply accommodating service elevated an already exceptional dining experience into something unforgettable. Every member of the team exudes genuine hospitality, making us feel not just welcomed but honored to be there.
We shared what was easily the best Chablis I've ever tasted, a crisp & elegant pairing that I enjoyed with my soon?to?be 100?year?old mother-a moment I'll cherish. The calamari was a revelation: light, delicately breaded, & perfectly fried so that it tasted almost baked-crisply golden yet never oily. The Branzino with pearl pasta was pure elegance on a plate-light, delicate, & balanced to perfection.
We were so utterly impressed that we returned the following Saturday, again without a reservation, & were once more accommodated with grace & remarkable hospitality. The service, if possible, seemed even more polished, & every dish lived up to the same impeccable standard. The tuna tartare was beautifully presented & bursting with freshness, while the filet mignon, draped in a black truffle, foie gras, & rosé dressing sauce, was simply the best I've ever had-unparalleled in tenderness & depth of flavor.
Each visit to Donato has been a masterclass in refined cuisine & first?class service. It is rare to find a restaurant that achieves perfection on every level-but Donato does, effortlessly.
