To be clear, wonderful people and genuinely nice and seemingly hard working. I say that because that is the crux of the slight bit of negativity I’d have for this restaurant. First the food, that gets 5 stars, it’s flavorful, generous and always fresh. I haven’t really experienced a bad dish yet. First time, party of 2 and second time, party of 6. All the food was spot on and hot. The service, ugh. I don’t like being critical and sound negative but I just don’t think they understand the service bit. I say it like that because it has to be acceptable by management for them to be this way. Therefore I’ll say that they’re not trained properly. Touch base, take the order, deliver food and then you’re on an island. No one to be found. They might be too busy to check back or refill your drink, it seems like they’re slightly understaffed. But not great service. The atmosphere fulfills the urban grunge, rip off the sheetrock and expose everything that hip. Unfortunately that’s the basis of design in the bathrooms too and it ain’t pretty. I’m hoping I didn’t discourage your trip to try this place. The negatives I’ve mentioned do not get in the way of having a very good meal and that what’s brought me back a second time. I’m sure I’ll be again.

First time visit turn into a wonderful experience. The chicken parm was one of the best I’ve ever had.
The chicken was just the right consistency and topped some al dente spaghetti with a fabulous sauce.
The pizzas were unique with some original toppings. And finishing with the upside down pineapple came made the meal complete.
I highly recommend the resultant as the ambiance, service and the meals were superb.

Donna’s Italian added to my fave list
Pretty good drink menu and bar seat, but there’s a room for improvement. Food menu is great especially pizza
Pizza’s highly recommended, highly.
I loved the one i got
The interior design is pretty simple, comfy and cool. I like how you can seat at the bar get your first drink and wait for your food/pizza and move on other rooms and seat on couch and enjoy your drink and food.
I will stop by soon and highly recommend this place.
more info will added later.

Stopped by for a bite on a quick trip to the area. I enjoyed the salad and the pizza and my friends both said they loved the drinks they got.

Being a Little Pecks regular, my girlfriend and I decided to finally give Donna’s a try one night while studying in the garden area. We had to order take-out since it’s not technically part of Donna’s dining service, which was totally fine. What wasn’t fine was the shock I was in after I opened the takeout container only to find a few pieces of ravioli and squash in there. Just to make sure there wasn’t anything wrong, I walked over to one of Donna’s staff members and they assured me that was the correct portion size for the dish. It was tasty but waaaayyyy overpriced for the $24 I spent on it (picture attached). My girlfriend’s salad had more substance to it and it was allegedly one of the “smaller” dishes on their menu. Pretty disappointed. Had I known I probably would’ve been more full off of one of their pizzas that I contemplated getting. Not worth the price.

My family and I LOVE coming to Donnas. The food and staff are excellent! I have had a couple of the pasta dishes, which are true and authentic to Italian style dishes, but the pizza will always keep me coming back! It’s the best Italian style pizza you can find in Troy. Plus, on Saturdays- they have a special you can’t beat- it’s one salad of your choice, a pizza and a bottle of red, white or bubbly wine for $50! Always a really enjoyable time dining here

Service was nonexistent and the casarecce was honestly the worst dish I’ve ever had from a restaurant (for $18 as well, yikes). Salad was fantastic though and I would order that again. Just stay away from the pasta

The pizza was pretty good. I am not a big fan of the burnt bubbles, but I do understand how it is cooked.

We had a nice night eating outside at Donna’s. Food was good. I had the RPI sandwich which was roast pork, broccoli rabe, and provolone on a roll. Great combination of ingredients. It would have been better if they hadn’t forgot the provolone. Pizza was very good, as was our calamari.
