The food was amazing our waitstaff great! This is our third time @ Donny G’s and every time we’ve had some thing different and each meal has been amazing. The entertainment later in the evening was a blast all the regulars got up and started dancing, you have to give Donny G’a a try there’s a reason it’s been in business so long!

Food was amazing! Ambiance was great! Our sever was super super nice and knowledgeable but was quite slow. In her defense we didn’t see another server on our side of the restaurant so maybe she was alone. We will definitely be back for live music and food and wine! Great value! Awesome old school feel!

Excellent "old world" type Italian restaurant. Very comfortable ambience and the live music was great! The service was good could've been a bit better in terms of attentiveness but overall good. The food portions especially the veal were too small/thin for the $38 dollar price.

The food was really good. The order comes out fast. The server was accommodating and efficient. The only weird thing is this was the second time we visited and booked using Open Table and they couldn't find our reservations both times. They were able to sit us, but it's just strange and uncomfortable as they sit there searching for your reservation.

Food was great. Pricing was very reasonable. Service was extremely slow. We made reservations via Open Table but when we arrived they said they didn't have a record of it and we would have to wait 30 minutes to an hour for a table. After we said we would wait they did seat us quickly but we waited a long time to get menus and we felt ignored most of the night. Everything was slow to arrive. It seemed like the kitchen was backed up.
