Best calamari I’ve had in years! And don’t get me started on the Pizza. We shared a Cotto E Funghi, “Imported mozzarella, prosciutto cotto, mushroom and basil,” which was delicioso! And we topped the experience with a vanilla gelato. Atmosphere is intimate and cozy! Excellent and attentive staff. Fenomenal!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Experience at Donna Margherita

I had an outstanding meal at Donna Margherita, and it’s easily one of the best Italian dining experiences I’ve had in New York. From the moment I sat down, the service was warm, attentive, and genuine — Claudio took wonderful care of us and made the entire visit feel effortless.

The food was exceptional.
The Linguine alle Vongole was beautifully executed — perfectly al dente pasta, fresh clams, and a delicate balance of white wine, garlic, and herbs. Every bite tasted like classic, coastal Italy.

The Spicy Rigatoni Boscaiola was another standout: rich, creamy, and layered with flavor, with just the right amount of heat. It’s the kind of dish you find yourself thinking about long after you leave.

We also enjoyed a fresh mesclun salad and finished with their Italian cheesecake, which was light, silky, and not overly sweet — exactly how an authentic Italian cheesecake should be.

Between the quality of the food, the thoughtful service, and the warm atmosphere, Donna Margherita is a place I’m already excited to return to. Highly recommend for anyone looking for true, memorable Italian cuisine on the Upper East Side.

One of the best Italian restaurants! I’m celiac and they had an amazing gluten free pasta I chose carbonara with it. It was really really good! They gave me an amazing gluten free dessert as well. The staff was really nice and very knowledgeable about my food restrictions! I highly reccomend it! Thank you so much!!!

We cannot say enough good things about Donna Margherita! We will RAVE about it to any one who asks. The lovely staff, head chef and owner who are from Naples all introduced themselves and were wonderfully friendly. We ordered the stuffed peppers, Cannelloni and Paccheri Sunday Sauce (a pasta with short rib marinated for 7 hours). Has to be one of most authentic, flavorful Italian meals we’ve had, in a cozy, warm ambience that felt personalized throughout our time there.

A gem in the Lenox Hill!

Easily some of the best pizza in NY. We went for lunch on a Thursday and there was hardly anyone there which is nice. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather. The pizza came out fast. Its not massive but we split it since we weren’t starving. We’ve been to Italy several times and this is right up there with pizza there. Definitely a hidden gem.

I recently dined at Donna Margherita and it was pure perfection from start to finish. The service was exceptional – warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming, making us feel like family rather than just customers. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, patient with questions and timed everything perfectly. The food was outstanding! We started with the classic Margherita pizza fresh rom the wood-fired oven-crispy, perfectly blistered crust, creamy mozzarella, bright San Marzano tomatoes and fragrant basil. Everything we tried in between was delicious!! I highly recommend it!

This Italian gem is an absolute must-visit! From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with warm hospitality and immediate feeling of coziness and warmth . Everything made from scratch, and ingredients imported straight from Italy, to your plate, you can actually taste and feel it.
All our entree’s were exceptionally delicious!
From the start , (that simple, and what I call Italian appetizer) the authenticity of the olive oil, crunch yet softness of the bread , and freshly grated Parmesan…so fresh, saying “so good” is an understatement. I absolutely love that Bread and oil !!
For me , The lasagna was an “out of this world type of different” absolute delicious!
If you like boiled egg and pine nuts.
It’s been 3 days and I can still remember how all the flavors went so well together, it’s a must try! And, of course we had to get the classic of all , The Neapolitan Margherita pizza, made just as true and authentic as everything else, it was a perfect balance of simplicity and bold flavors The crust was light, airy, and slightly charred, with a crisp exterior and a soft, chewy interior and just the right amount of basil… I think you get the idea , it’ll transport you straight to Naples.
I would not recommend skipping dessert and espresso here.
Aside from the food, I have to mention
the staff, owner/chef should be a completely separate review, anything I say won’t be enough, but they are all so kind and hospitable to their guests, and seem like they like being at work, they all seem to have a good time working together, a very happy group. Sal, the warm and welcoming owner/chef who’s created each dish with passion and love, treats every guest like family, making sure you feel right home with his kindness and charm. Undoubtedly, we can’t wait to go back, And we will be shouting” WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND! “
