Every night Guido and Gino Tiozzo welcome you to Donatello, a fine dining restaurant serving authentic Italian cuisine since 1984.

Their constant presence and attention to details guarantee that, whether you are dining alone or hosting a large party, you'll be pleased and satisfied by your experience.

Every lady will leave Donatello with a rose on her hand as thanks for being there.

You'll see for yourself that hospitality has ancient roots at Donatello.

The menu is based on century-old Italian recipes and displays Italian specialties; the staff is friendly and professional and the desserts are delicious!

If the night is still young, come and relax at the piano lounge where blues, jazz and every love songs are played at the baby grand. Listen to the music while sipping a drink or dancing with your loved one.

    A Tampa treasure for over 40 years! A dinner at Donatello always is a treat. We’ve been regulars since moving to Tampa in 1992 and love everything about the experience!

    Fantastic Italian dinner!  The service was extremely attentive with more than one waiter checking on you at a time. Very cozy atmosphere… Every table has their own hanging lamp which made it seem a little more private at each table. A bit pricey, but worth it for a special evening!!!
