Reviews


Despite some negative reviews regarding slow service and disappointing dishes, this Italian restaurant seems to have quite a loyal following. Some customers have praised the food quality, quick service, and exceptional dining experience. The squid ink pasta and dessert have received special mentions for being outstanding. However, others have expressed concerns about slow service, cold dishes, and disappointing cheese options. Overall, the general consensus seems to be that the food is great, but the service can be hit or miss. It might be a good idea to clarify any special requests, like birthday celebrations, in order to ensure a memorable dining experience. Despite some hiccups, many patrons still consider this restaurant one of their favorites for authentic Italian cuisine, Donato Enoteca typically has an average rating of 4.4.

The linguine and clams was beautifully seasoned and the molten chocolate cake was terrific. The coffee was actually fantastic!
