    Donato Enoteca is one of our most favorite restaurants and we come here on special occasions. Everything about our experience here is top tier - the food, ambience, and service. The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous - rich colors, textures, warm and inviting. Beautifully decorated - each table setting is perfect - this adds so much to the dining experience. We started with an insalata invernale - the cinghiale was the star! We ordered the Bigoli e Coda - oxtail pasta with asparagus- always our favorite - absolutely did not disappoint- yum! Last but not least- we had the Cioccolatto Fondente e Nocciole with vanilla gelato - superb! Mille grazie Donato’s!
