    This was our second time here and will definitely be back. The food was very good with generous portions. Fabian, the Service Manager, went above and beyond to make for a pleasant experience.

    Food and service was very good !!! Everything tasted like it was very fresh , except for the dessert. Key lime pie was off a bit , and Cosmo seemed a little light on alcohol!

    Food and service by the waitress was good. Unfortunately, we had a bad experience due to the fact that there was no heat in the restaurant. We should've been told that so that we can decide if we were ok with having dinner with our coats on.

    Our go to place and it was fabulous! Our server Nick was very friendly, attentive, and very courteous. Appetizers of Calamari and Stuffed peppers with Italian sausage was one of the best I ever had!The Sangria was just the right amount of sweet tasting! Excellent Sangria! Our Entrees of frutti dimare and Bronzino White Wine Butter Sauce was very flavorful! Delicious altogether! You can Reserve a table ahead-because Saturday are full I try 2 different weeks and i couldn’t walk in We choose to Reserve ahead because of the Valentine's Day weekend. I highly recommend this Restaurant! We will be back again for sure

    Donatella is my go to Italian place in Bergen County. The new manager, Fipios, just brought the service to a new level.

    Perfectly done across the board, greeted right away , attention was exactly how it's supposed to be done , food was probably the best I ever had , short rib were 10/10 , chicken parm was also 10/10 . Atmosphere was relaxing not too quiet not too noisy. The place has two managers multiple hostesses Great service, beautiful waiters and waitresses, very clean environment and very friendly 👍👍👍👍👍

    I've been dining here quite a long time with my special friends especially. It's like a private club atmosphere because you see all the time same guests and the manager knows everyone that walks in . Clean and quiet. Foods are made like heaven . The manager is kind and friendly. I recommend it for special occasions or meetings particularly. I just like to let you know that Saturday night you had an owner from a restaurant in Westwood New Jersey I was sitting one table away from him when he start complaining I get up and I told him this is not your competitor don’t push it, that was the second table in window next to your fireplace when he start complaining about a menu I was looking for manager to talk to him but than I got up and told him don’t do it They very busy they got you a table, a drink and relax!!!!!

    This has been a place I've been wanting to try for years and I'm glad I did. It's a good spot for special occasions and the decor is beautiful. The food and drinks were pretty good all around. I ordered a fish that was slightly overcooked so it was a bit dry and the braised short rib flavor the best I ever had but everything else-to die for . We were there for probably 3 hours on a Saturday night and we didn't feel rushes at all. If you want to sit indoors, you have to make a reservation. Our server nick was really nice and accommodating which made the experience even better.

    Absolutely stellar experience at donatella ! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. I ordered the Papadelle pasta and it was truly one of the best dishes l've ever had. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the mushrooms were very unique and delicious addition, and the sauce was light and creamy. Every bite was delicious and satisfying, showcasing a mastery of Italian cooking. The ambiance at donatella elegant, yet comfortable. This was a dining experience that felt special in every way. Highly recommend Donatella for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine in New Jersey . Five stars, no question!

    Incredible meal with just the most phenomenal nuanced flavors. Highly recommend the halibut and the pollo portofino . The cocktails are wonderful. The atmosphere is lovely with beautiful festive decorations and the service is impeccable. Very busy location Saturday night we couldn’t walk through the guest was waiting outside in a cold to get in we waited for 30 minutes for a table but everything was worth-it
