    We celebrated our 33RD wedding anniversary/ wife’s birthday this weekend. We lived in Tampa when we were first married and went there a few times. We had a chance to re live our early wedding days. Everything was perfect. It was magical and the staff were excellent. They brought out a cake and sang happy birthday in Italian. Thanks so much! My family is from northern Italy so I love the cuisine.

    I've never had a bad meal here even though I always get the same thing. Pasta E Fagole soup and linguine alla vongole. They just know how to do it and do it right. The restaurant is always clean. The staff is very personable, and as an added touch, when you leave, you are given a rose.

    From Tampa originally, but live in Dallas now. In the 25+ years I’ve been in/out the Tampa Bay Area, I’ve never had the pleasure of going to Donatellos until now. I have known about it as a staple of Tampa restaurants and now I see why. Great food, fantastic ambiance and aesthetic. Staff is kind, professional and even though our server was very busy, he was still a fantastic waiter. I also love how people dressed up to go to dinner which is sometimes a lost concept in Tampa at fine dining establishments. Anyway 10/10

    The food, service and ambiance were fantastic. It is a bit noisy but everything else makes up for the noise.
