A Dining Experience Like No Other
From the moment you arrive at Donatello Italian Restaurant, the experience is exceptional. The respectful and courteous valet team sets the tone, followed by a warm and welcoming greeting as you step inside.
The ambiance is inviting, and the service is second to none—attentive, friendly, and genuinely dedicated to ensuring a memorable meal. As for the food, it’s simply outstanding. Every dish I’ve tried has been a testament to their commitment to quality and consistency. The flavors are rich, the ingredients fresh, and the presentation flawless.
I’ve been fortunate to visit several times, and each experience has been just as incredible as the last. Their lobster linguine, in particular, is a must-try—delicate, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
Donatello sets a high standard for Italian cuisine, and I can confidently say it’s unmatched in every way. A true 10/10 dining destination!

food was absolutely amazing! the staff was very attentive. very romantic atmosphere, live jazz music is played in the adjacent room. sometimes they have opera singers as well. a but pricey, but it is expected for an upscale restaurant. elegant casual would be dress code, not super elegant. i would not recommend bringing kids here though.

I cannot say enough positive things about our first experience at Donatello's. From the initial greeting of the valet...to the warm welcome by the restaurant manager...to the attentive staff....and oh my the food! I felt like I was transported back in time to my great grandparents' home. In true Italian fashion, everything led up to the experience of the food. Every detail from the ingredients to the presentation....to the timing was fantastic. Being presented with a long stem rose before we left just really put the icing on the cake. Cannot wait to return!

I recently had dinner here and had a mixed experience. While the service and hosts were nice, the food was quite overpriced for what we got. We ordered two appetizers, two mains, and one dessert, which cost much more than expected. The small tiramisu alone was $15, which felt unreasonable for the portion size. One nice touch was being given a rose at the end of our meal. However, despite the friendly service, I left feeling that the overall food and experience didn't quite match the high cost.

Recently visited Donatello restaurant in Tampa and were absolutely impressed by the atmosphere and level of service! The opera evening was the highlight of the night — a magical experience with live performances by incredible vocalists. The cuisine was outstanding: exquisite Italian dishes prepared with care and presented beautifully. The service was impeccable — attentive yet unobtrusive. If you’re looking for a place for a special evening, Donatello is the perfect choice!
