We enjoyed everything about our visit here. Beautiful street, the best service we have ever had and we are out All the time, and our food was very good. We have no complaints....will definitely return again!!! Our server was very attentive, knowledgeable and interesting...unfortunately...we did not remember his name, but he is from Bangladesh...that may help?? Haha...
Love the food here, tasy and good portion. A bit on the expensive side.
I once visited Donatello years ago for a work Christmas party. The meal was a la carte. I dismissed the underwhelming cuisine as just being the nature of the beast when you have a large party during a busy time of year and day....sadly this wasn't an isolated incident. Some friends from out of town came in and saw positive reviews for Donatello, so we decided to give it a shot. The restaurant wasn't very busy, but the waitress still got out order wrong. I had butternut squash ravioli, which was undercooked and over-salted. It was practically inedible. The service was equally awful. At every stage in the evening, one of the wait staff was rushing us, seemingly hurrying us to get out of our table and get out of the restaurant. Honestly, I felt like I was getting the bum's rush. After paying our bill we raised our concerns with the Maitre'D who seemed almost indifferent and assured us there was no rushing. This place hardly deserves a place on Elm St. and is the farthest thing from fine Italian dining I can imagine. Toronto has plenty of other great options...check them out and stay away from this place.
My favourite restaurant downtown and won't break the bank. Food is delicious and the service is friendly and attentive. Personable owners that make you feel like guests not customers. Always an enjoyable visit and always a must when I visit downtown Toronto. The homemade ravioli is phenomenal.
Poor attention to detail all around. Service was amiable but very inattentive: Water came long after wine was served. Balsamic Vinegar & Oil, served it attractive containers with bread, were insipid quality. Food was uninspired and not very authentic Italian. Carpccio was attractively plated but near tasteless. Veal was over-floured and somewhat over-cooked. Flavors were lacking.
The glass of house wine was diluted with water. The Minestrone soup was decent. A bit too salty. The lamb chops were fresh but were overdone. Asked for medium rare, came medium. The service was poor considering the price of the entire meal ($55). The waitress was polite but unhelpful. A party of 3 came after me but were seated first. Neither of us had a reservation.
Everything was delicious, my only criticism would be that it was WAY too salty. And that applies to salad as well as the main dishes/sauces.
Met some friends for the matinee showing of "Come from Away" this week. We wanted somewhere close and not too big.so we could chat and catch up, Donatello's came up on TripAdvisor as a favourable choice. We were so happy that it did! Great ambience and the food and service was "top notch" We all had different meals and all were equally delicious, the plates were emptied. Incredible wine selection as well. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be back again sometime. Steve D,

Bronson was an attentive server. Their carpaccio was amazing and I loved their bruschetta and veal piccata. The dessert menu looked tempting but we were too full. I love the traditional Italian atmosphere. It was a perfect dinner for our 30th anniversary celebration.

After reading other reviews we were expecting to have a very nice evening. That is exactly what we had. The ambiance is lovely...cozy and warm. The noise level was low enough to allow for a normal conversation. The service was first class...friendly, attentive, professional and efficient. An extensive wine list with reasonable prices. The food was tasty and the portions generous. We had tomato salads and calamari to start. As mains we had grilled shrimp which were prepared like scampi we used to enjoy in Montreal (less the garlic and butter). Other dishes were liguini vongole and grilled lamb chops cut from the rack...both excellent. For desert we shared a carrot cake and a spumoni ice cream (the real thing). Both were good. All in all a very enjoyable evening. Definitely worth a return visit.

It was a little too loud within the restaurant that it became hard to hear my colleague in front of me. Because it was really busy, the servers seemed to be all over the place and not take our order all at once, but rather, took a couple of orders then walked away and then eventually came back to take a couple of more orders from our table and so on. I found that a bit odd. The food, however, was delicious!

Service was impeccable. Server / sommelier / wine manager was respectful, listened, offered choices, knew the menu choices (including specials) inside-out and backwards. Offered supurb sounding options and at the end of all that, the food was nothing short of fantastic. Wine suggestion hit the mark from a budget and taste perspective along with how it paired (with lamb). The team also managed to get us out to the theatre when we didn't properly plan enough time. Would have loved to have spent longer and next time we will. We will recommend Donatello highly and speak of this meal far into the future.
