Il Dono Italian Restaurant & Bar

I love to welcome a new restaurant in Hamilton. The atmosphere was great. Beautifully renovated. It just opened, so they are still working out the kinks. If you’re in a hurry, hold off on going for a few months while the staff and kitchen get into their groove. The food was delicious, it took some time to be served, however, like any new place, they’re still figuring things out. Great prices. I’d definitely go back.

We recently visited this restaurant and had a wonderful experience. The service and atmosphere were amazing, giving us the feel of a high-end establishment while offering reasonable prices. The food was very good, with the meatballs being particularly exceptional. I ordered the NY Strip, which was cooked blue rather than rare, but I wasn’t complaining. The drinks were decent, though a bit sweet, and I plan to try the Manhattan next time. Overall, we are very happy to have another great restaurant close to home!

Great food, atmosphere, and service. As soon as we were seated we were served bread and water. All of the wait staff were kind and attentive. The white truffle fries were very good. Chicken parm was delicious. Overall a great experience. Highly reccomend.

Had reservations with a friend on Thursday at 6:30pm. Crazy busy but probably because they're new. Parking situation is a complete mess and definitely not enough spots. Staff seems to still be getting their bearings but at least they're friendly. Service was a bit slow. Interior is large and spacious. There's seasoned warm bread, olive oil, and olives that were complimentary and delicious. Another waitress ended up taking our sharing plates a bit prematurely when we wanted to get more bread (we did end up getting it). For drinks I got the Manhattan which I found to be a bit sweet and also the jet lagged which wasn't as sweet and was very refreshing. Both drinks were quite boozy which was great. For the appetizer we got the calamari. I found these to be perfectly seasoned and fried. The

Omg, seriously amazing Italian food and very nice cocktails. Beautiful decor and staff are awesome.
