Went to Donatello this past Saturday night to celebrate my husbands birthday. The food was delicious. Yes, the portions are a little on the small side. This is not your Carrabas or Macaroni Grill.

Food was just OK. Very small portions for an extremely high price. Pasta dishes should not cost $30. Waiter was distracted and inattentive. Didn't order dessert because we sat there after our dinner plates were cleared for more than 20 minutes. Better options for Italian food must exist in Tampa. Skip Donatello's. more

Being from Chicago with many good reasonable priced restaurants we consulted the concierege at the Marrott Watersite where we were staying.This restaurant was highley recommended by them. We were told it was very romatic. Well ,the decor was ok. By very romantic they ment it had pink lights in ceiling lights and pink table cloths. Big Deal! But what really... more
