   This was Easter Sunday brunch and the restaurant was full. The noise level was "energetic". The food and service were excellent.

   The restaurant manager welcomed us with a great smile. The restaurant offers a nice and chic ambiance. I recommend without hesitation the beef tartare and the snow crab's spaghetti. The pasta was cooked perfectly. The waiter was attentive and knew the menu very well.

   If you’re looking for a flawless dining experience, Ristorante Donato delivers on every front. From the moment we walked in, the hostess greeted us with a warm, genuine smile and led us to our table with grace and professionalism. Our waiter was equally impressive — attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu. The food? Absolute perfection. The Pizza Margherita was a masterclass in simplicity — a crispy, wood-fired crust with just the right chew, bright San Marzano tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fresh basil that transported us straight to Naples. The Steak Bavette was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, incredibly tender, and full of flavor, served with a reduction that made each bite better than the last. And the Penne Arrabbiata — wow. The sauce had the ideal balance of spice and tang, clinging to al dente pasta that clearly hadn’t been sitting around. Ristorante Donato is the kind of place that reminds you why you love food. A perfect score from beginning to end.

   It was our first time here and the food was excellent. Our server Gabriel was so nice and explained the menu to us. From start to finish the food was hot and tasty. The grilled shrimps were cooked to perfection. The wine selection is good. Tao the manager was very nice and greeted everyone with a smile. Will definitely go back.

   It was a very pleasant experience, we are a group of friends who met up for brunch. The service was excellent, food was delicious and it wasn’t too noisy. Too often, restaurants seem to overlook this aspect. We were all able to have good conversations to catch up on our news

   Un excellent brunch avec des aliments de très grande qualité et un choix tres raisonnable pour un brunch. J’ai aimé les œufs bénédictines au saumon, un classique. J’ai ajouté un extra pommes de terres rissolées, tout à fait délicieux! Pour dessert, le fameux Tiramisu avec fruits, un incontournable. Un service attentionné et professionnel.
