Donato's Ristorante

Lovely dinner with friends! The drinks were good, I had sweet sangria. My lobster ravioli was tasty and nice size pieces of lobster. My partner had an impressive osso bucca, and he really enjoyed the dish. Thank you , we will come back soon. 🙋🏼‍♀️

I am new to Davie, Fl and this restaurant is close the my home. My wife and I tried this place tonight. I ordered the stuffed mushrooms and took one bite and sent them back. The mushroom appetizer was awful. For my entree I ordered the peppers and sausage. Again I took one bite and sent the food back. I lastly tried a slice of the pizza and was not impressed. The sauce they use for all their dishes have zero taste. Now I know why on a Friday night the restaurant is empty.

We have been to Donato’s twice in the evening. Last night, a Saturday night was our second great visit. I was surprised during both visits how empty the restaurant is in the evening especially on a Saturday night. I hear they do a good lunch business, but for a local Italian Pizza restaurant I would love to see larger crowds at night. The pizza is excellent, the menus is extensive and priced affordable. I had a Gorgonzola salad, my wife had a chicken roll and others in our party had pasta and pizza which was as all very good. The 5 of us ate for about $70 which is not bad. Staff was friendly but I wish they had more traffic at night to warrant keeping the lights on.

This has been the go-to pizza place for my family for the past 25 years (previously named something different). The pizza is fresh delicious, and you are able to order customer slices. The pasta is always very fresh and you cant go wrong with anything you order on the menu. They are also very sweet and povide great service. Highly recommend!

We ordered Carbonara with chicken, Chicken Parm with Penne and Linguini with meatballs. All came with a side of soup or salad and 3 garlic rolls. The Carbonara was actually alfredo sauce with bacon and the chicken was bland. The Chicken parm was over cooked and not sure what kind of cheese they used as it tasted freezer burnt. The meatballs had absolutely no flavor and I had to spit it out. The linguini was over cooked and tasted mushy. Could not twirl the linguini on my fork as it was broken. The only thing that was good was the salad and the rolls. I would have sent it back but we ordered take out. This is very sad as we wont be back there again. The only thing this place has going for it is pizza and even that is unflavored!
