    Donatella’s is a hidden jewel in the heart of Bergen County. We have been here several times and have never been disappointed. Being of Italian descent, my expectations of an Italian restaurant are high and Donatella’s does NOT miss the mark. The staff, cocktails, food, and management all go the distance to making you feel as if you are one of the family. Salute!

    I was initially very excited to go to Donatella’s after reading the menu and looking at the pictures. Once I got there the restaurant looked nice. Tucked away in an unassuming area of Bergen County. The restaurant was clean and trendy. However once we sat down things took a sharp turn. It took forever for a waiter to take our drink order. The first time we saw a waiter he asked us what we wanted for dinner, to which we responded we still needed a cocktail menu. The drinks came out quickly, which was one of the few positives of our experience. We ordered our appetizers and entrees at the same time as the table next to us said they had waited an hour for their meals. I will say the stuffed artichoke was fantastic which reignited our hopes for a delicious dinner. After waiting nearly an hour from the time we ordered, a food runner came to the table to check if we received our entrees to which we said no. While continuing to wait the bus girls would only fill our waters if they were completely empty which only added to the hilarity. Several minutes after the check in by the food runner our waiter came over to ask if we wanted dessert. When we explained we still haven’t received our entrees he told us he couldn’t believe it as he told the kitchen to “fire” an hour ago. After several more minutes of waiting our entrees finally arrived. My wife’s short rib pappardella was watery and lacked flavor. My veal chop was dry and chewy. We both failed to finish our meals and declined to take them home. At this point our dinner time was 2 and a half hours, we decided to just take the check and leave. Despite all our high hopes, the food quality and service were more than enough to ensure we would not be returning.

    Our 1st time there. Food mediocre. Mashed potatoes tasted like they came from a box. Not the quality I’ve had at many other restaurants. Lamb was not seasoned. Very disappointing for the price. Took over 1/2 hr to get our check. A beautiful restaurant but noise level was way too high to enjoy.

    Even though it was one of the busiest nights for a restaurant (2/14), the service was excellent with our attentive waiter. The food was delicious as usual (with a new twist on the burrata appetizer) and portions were generous. There were extra touches with the balloons and chocolate.
