    For top of the line service and great tasting food ,this is the place to go. The owner/chef takes the flavors of his creations to the next level. We had a large party of 12 adults, and every dish that was ordered came out of the kitchen, not only looking delicious but loaded with flavor. From the one-off appetizers we were able to sample to the main course, everything was cooked to perfection. With the full bar serving up top shelf drinks, this place doesn't disappoint. Reservations are recommended since they get busy on most nights. Great place for after work gathering or a romantic evening this place can accommodate your needs. Parking is available across the street.

    Chef Scotti's use of seasonal , fresh ingredients is reflected in his cooking, focusing on Northern Italian cuisine. My family is from Northern Italy so we are tough critics, Donato's met our standards. An upscale dining experience, perfect for a celebration or a date night. Busy bar vibe on a Thursday evening, parking was plentiful across the street in a lot. We started with a bottle of Brunello di Montalcino as recommended by our knowledgeable waiter, the intense color with hints of cherry, berries and hints of oak was fabulous. The combination of flavors in the ravioli reminded me of ravioli I have had in Italy, the pasta dough was the perfect thickness, the brown butter sauce complimented the ravioli. The grilled Branzino was served with a salsa verde. We couldn't resist dessert, our selection did not disappoint, we will be back soon.

    I have to admit to having pretty low expectations of this place... seemed like maybe another factory restaurant in downtown Redwood City. Wow was I surprised. Starting with the server, who is knowledgeable and had great recommendations. He suggested the calamari, and we expected something out of the fryer, but it turned out to be a delicious grilled calamari with long beans and salad. Really nice and unexpected. Also, had the branzino which was delicious and the green salsa was amazing. On top of some kind of polenta cake which went perfectly. The folks I came with, had a kind of short rib pasta, which they said was incredible, as well as a Gorgonzola pizza. Raves all around. Great spot with a cool vibe right in downtown and really delivered on food and experience experience.
