It’s a really lovely place, the music is perfect and at the perfect pitch the service is 100/10 and the food is absolutely delicious! The lasagna is highly recommended, the bruschetta is super tasty, I would definitely go back. P.S. If Mr. Juan serves you, call him Juanito, he’ll be very happy

Truly a hidden gem! Stopped by for a quick dinner and some drinks while visiting the city and were amazed with how friendly the staff was! We were brought free appetizers and dessert out of the blue! And the homemade giant rigatoni pasta is some of the best vodka sauce i’ve ever had! Simply a must for if you are close.

I passed by this place while going home and was hungry and trying to let traffic pass and let me tell you! It was such a great experience. I ordered the shrimp de Jonghe and the soup was fabulous. I was so glad I stopped, I will definitely be back. MaryEllen was such a joy. She was kind, patient, and made me feel genuinely cared for. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she kept everything running smoothly. Thank you for making my night special!

This place is a must, went there on Valentines Day and the whole experience was awesome. They were really busy but the vibe and the wait staff and owners were awesome. We will definitely go back. The food and drinks were also fantastic. Even the valet guy was funny. Loved it here you get like family

Absolutely delicious top notch food!!! Just had my first experience with delivery from Donny G’s! The food was amazing. I got Veal Parmigiana, my all time favorite Italian food. It was superb. I will be ordering again soon and often. The pasta fagioli soup was amazing as well.

Me and my wife along with two other couples went to Donny G’s for Valentine’s Day. We had reservations and were seated on time. We ordered 6 cocktails off the menu, they were brought to our table in 30 minutes.
The cocktails were delicious, but 30 minutes is too long to wait! We ordered another round of the same cocktails midway through dinner and it took 30 minutes to get that round too! The food ordered took a long time to get to our table except for bread and water. The busman working our section was on top of his responsibilities!
We ordered appetizers, Saganaki which was good, Grilled Calamari, but got fried calamari which was flavorless, 1 Dozen Baked Clams, they use littleneck clams so the clams are small, about 1-1/2 wide. The clams are all seasoned breadcrumbs I couldn’t find any clam meat! The entrees we ordered, Frutti di Mare, with white sauce, the octopus was the best bite of the dish, but not much seafood sitting on lot of pasta. Not like any of the photos online! Sea bass from the evening specials menu was the best entree of the night. Chicken Parmigiana, frozen deep fried breaded chicken, the tomato sauce tasted raw, different taste from the sharpness of fresh tomatoes.
Chicken Piccata, the Beurre Blanc (French?) sauce was broken and flavorless so the plate of food was a watery mess, with little pieces of chicken and almost unidentifiable floating vegetable pieces.
My wife ordered the Mad Greek Salad, if I had ordered this salad I would have been MAD! When you think of a Greek salad you expect to get salad dressing with high quality olive oil, nope it’s flavorless oil and lack of toppings! Take a pass unless you just want soggy lettuce, this salad is A Big Fat Greek Fuhgeddaboudit!
Eggplant Parmigiana, heavily breaded deep fried from frozen medallions with a little tomato sauce spooned over the deep fried medallions some mozzarella put under the broiler to melt the cheese. See chicken parmigiana for tomato sauce comment. Banquet quality definitely not nonna’s eggplant parm casserole!
The couple at the table next to us said, oh well it’s Valentine’s Day, what can you expect?…nice having customers set the bar low for your establishment Donny G.
I think you should have forecasted Donny G and ANTICIPATED! Donny G you should have had more staff available for this special dinning day. Our waitress didn’t spend any time at our table. She was running back and forth, taking care of multiple sections!
She’d pop by and asked if we were ready to order, if we said in a moment she’d run off and came back in 15 minutes, we only saw the special menu when I decided to pickup the last menu off of the table. Our waitress didn’t explain or sell us on any specials? However, she did find time to tell us, It’s always best to order dessert first, it tends to make everything that comes after dessert taste much better. I think she was trying to be cute, but it came off as a backhanded compliment directed at Donny G’s?
Seems like the restaurant needs better management, a head chef, with a kitchen brigade, because that kitchen was a hot mess. The bar was slow making drinks, especially making drinks from their own menu, they needed help too.
The upside to our night was
1, We had a great time with friends!
2, Because we asked to speak with the manager, Donny G picked up our bar tab since we had issues waiting so long to get our drinks and food!
3. Despite all that didn’t go well, we tipped our waitstaff well, it was the right thing.
Bottom line, if you do not like spending good money on mediocre service or food, then this review should seriously be considered!

This place was so cool. Food was absolutely phenomenal. We had family style after a funeral and everything was great.
Bartenders and wait staff were incredible. Try the cappuccino martini.
Valet parking helps a lot and the attendant was very nice cuz.

First time visiting Donny G’s. Walking into this restaurant reminded me of an old school Italian joint. Great vibe and people watching. The bartenders served up healthy pours…cosmos and dirty martini’s. Dishes are authentic Italian, with heavy cheese and sauce. There is live entertainment and dancing. The manager George was fabulous. Waitstaff are friendly. Donny G’s is on North Avenue with a lot of traffic, so opt for valet. It’s free so be sure to give the valet guys a generous tip.

Very good food and the friendliest staff! My friends and I stumbled upon this place because it was near our airbnb. this restaurant did not disappoint. the staff was extremely friendly and surprised us with a free appetizer and desserts! all items were very tasty! the giant homemade rigatoni was incredible and I highly recommend it. I wish I lived in Chicago so I could eat here weekly!

Attentive and friendly customer service. Appetizer was really good. My friends enjoyed their food however upon trying my Frutti Di Mare— the mussell, octopus, and scallop had an odd smell and taste unfortunately similarly to seafood that has gone spoiled
