We had lunch here. The service was attentive. The menu had a variety of items to choose from and we enjoyed the food execution. We ordered the crab cakes, rueben sandwich and fruit cobbler. All in all it was a good experience and we would come again.

Everything about Donato & Co was perfect from the lovely hostess who set a bright mood for our evening, to our thoughtful server Samuel, to Benjamin who was sweet and made sure to run our food to us on time. The food itself was super tasty and there were plenty of vegetarian options. We had Castelfranco (subbed vegetarian dressing); Scarpetta; Arancini; Tortino; and my favorite the Tortelloni. Overall, this place has top notch food and staff and I'm definitely going back next time I'm in town.
