WOW. One of the best meals I have had in years.
The grilled Calamari was served a top of a layer of Yukon gold mash potatoes, next layer was sauteed red peppers and eggplant. Surrounded by arugula. Unique and delish.
The chocolate and chocolate desert was divine. A chocolate mousse with a hard cap of chocolate and other chocolate ingredients.
In Europe this restaurant would be a Michelin rated restaurant.
The waitress was charming and always there when you wanted her, but never hovering.
A delightful dining experience.

I recently tried this for lunch and overall thought it was just okay. The appetizers and ricotta were decent, but the cacio e pepe was a real disappointment. I almost never send food back, but in this case I couldn’t eat it — the pasta tasted like it had just been microwaved, lacking the freshness and flavor you’d expect from such a classic dish.
While the atmosphere was nice and some items were enjoyable, I probably wouldn’t try it again.

Had a lovely dinner at Donato & Co in Berkeley. The atmosphere was cozy, and the service was friendly. The risotto was a great choice—creamy, well-balanced, and satisfying. The rest of the menu had solid options, with fresh ingredients and classic Italian flavors. Overall, a good spot for a relaxed meal!

This is the best Italian food that you can get around here, in the modern, high end sense of Italian cuisine. It comes in a sophisticated, not pretentious ambiance. The wine list includes some of the best and rarest Italian bottles available and the cocktail list is worth the visit alone.
I’ll keep going back anytime I want to splurge in authentic, contemporary Italian food and wine.

My fiancée booked this place to surprise me for a birthday dinner. I was skeptical because he’s not the best at choosing restaurants. I asked to go to some place that serves organic, real, thoughtful yet rustic food. This restaurant hit all of those points. Everything was delicious. We got the radicchio salad, dived into the spaghetti Neri and the calamari and octopus dish. We wanted more food as portion are about medium size. We then added the truffle ravioli; downed everything with wine and left happy. Service was excellent also- no BS and quick, thanks for a nice time!

The service is outstanding! We had a great time at this lovely place.
We tried the popular Parmigiano and Vasetto (chicken liver), and we loved them. The pasta was good, but we weren’t amazed.
Would like to try the Spaghetti Neri and Calamari next time, and would recommend making a reservation before visiting.

We had a truly lovely early dinner at the bar. Bobby, the bartender, was wonderful. Kind, accommodating, and the perfect host. Didn’t blink when I asked for a special drink, and quite knowledgeable about the menu and the wine choices. The manager was also as kind and warm a host as one could hope for. We arrived before the official dinner hour, but he kindly escorted us to the bar where we dove into the happy hour menu. We started with several appetizers, all of which were tasty and well presented. I particularly enjoyed the sausage, and the polenta with fontina. Our good intentions of stopping after the appetizers gave way when I saw the spaghetti al neri with bay scallops on the menu. A perfectly sized portion of delicious pasta and scallops. My wife had the squash tortelloni with sage and brown butter. Delicious balance of sweet and savory. Highly recommended!

There’s something very authentically Italian and brave about this place. I had cappelletti with fig reduction and Walnut sauce and it was spectacular. However, I had so much sweet fig reduction in my mouth at first that it was almost off putting. Digging into the dish I realized how good it was. We sat at the bar and had some excellent cocktails. Overall, I would definitely go back again.

Celebrated a birthday dinner here. Overall we had a great experience. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and its a really nice space. I highly recommend the Calamari and Octopus main(see pic), the pork chop, and the Salumi appetizer. We ordered the brussel sprouts as a side and they were pretty bland.

Good ingredients, good options and good sized portions!
Nice to have Donato open again.
They even have a small store where you can purchase items to take home (sauces, pickles and pasta).
Compliments to the chef who shared his recipe and us invited to his cooking class!
