Reviews for Donatello Restaurant in Toronto, ON
Good people running the place. The service was very good. The food is home-cooked style, lacks a bit of refinement and needs... improvement. For example, the scallops and shrimps were overcooked and had a rubbery texture. Presentation was simple,‘rustic’ would be a nice way to put it. With a little update here and there I think they can be much better. Best wishes. Read more
Perfect date spot! Friendly & exceptional service by the staff. All staffs are welcoming and they’re very attentive. Food... was amazing. Very traditional classic Italian. Sea bass was perfectly cooked and deboned. Crispy skin & moist meat. Amazingseafood pasta. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce was not too heavy, but very flavourful. Appetizer shrimp was tenderand tasty. Perfect creamy sauce for bread. Overall highly recommended. Read more
Great place for Italian food! Had the rack of lamb with spaghetti 2000 and the home made tiramisu for dessert. Highly recommend... reservations for bigger party of 2 or more people. The summer patio area was also great and spacious. Read more
Food was ok, I loved that they gave bread even for takeout. My tortellini reminded me of eating a pork pie for some reason -... lots of cream and green peas. I'm slightly lactose intolerant and eating this gave me the runs, something which has neverhappened with pasta. But flavor-wise, it was decent. Read more
I ate dinner here with my friends as a group. The venue and decor gave old European vibes, but still cozy and warm. Food was... mediocre, grilled salmon was mushy and pasta was bland. My friends got the same impression on their steak and pasta. However,tiramisu was delicious and I enjoyed it. Espresso martini was not bad; pretty smooth. I expected the food to have more flavourconsidering its price. Read more
Our first visit here!!! The food was ok. I love the bread, it’s super soft inside and crunchy outside!! I ordered their daily... special, mixed seafood pasta with tomato sauce…. A little bit too salty for me. Also for red wine selection, they do not havemore fruity/ full body wine. All of them are dry. Service was good, they approach us very often!! Recommend! Read more
Came here with a group of people for my friends birthday. Service was good, we had a whole section delegated for our group... upstairs. Veal was flavourful and gravy was rich but not heavy. Gnocchi was very rich and thicker sauce and very filling. Winewas a great recommendation by our waiter and was an equal balance between butter and sweet. The dessert which I didn’t realizewas just two scoops of ice cream had the most extravagant playing in the silver dish bowl and decorated plate. Would come hereagain to try other menu items. Was hoping more of a variety but this was probably a set menu for the event. Read more
Italian restaurant located on a quiet side street in the core of Downtown Toronto. It has both indoor and outdoor seating... (outdoor seating is open during warmer weather). I’ve dined here twice, once outside during the summer and recently indoor, ifyou have the option of both, outdoor is much nicer. I personally found the decor inside to be quite dated but if you’relooking for a place with an old charm to it then the indoor space is just that. The service was good and professional bothtimes that I dined here, no complaints. The food was delicious and price point was good for what you’re getting and thelocation of the restaurant. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area and craving some decent Italianfood. Read more
