    Excellent food. Easy free valet parking. Very good but overwhelmed waitress. She was the only waitress serving the entire bar area tables. Stretched thin. What downgraded the experience was a private kids party in the big room where at least one young child was screaming loud and shrill. His family did nothing to quiet him down. Really annoyed the diners in our room.

    Second time having lunch there. Wish it was located closer to my house because it could be a regular stop. The Pasta fagiola was outstanding, everybody loved it. I had the grittier de mare with Arrbiata sauce it was fantastic. Highly recommend.

    I have to give credit where it’s due, Donny G’s truly turned my experience around! After a previous visit that left me unsure, they went above and beyond to make things right, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with genuine hospitality, and it was clear they cared about making my experience exceptional. The service was outstanding, our waitress was not only attentive but also warm and friendly, making sure everything was perfect. And the food? Absolutely out of this world! Every bite was flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. It’s rare to see a restaurant take feedback seriously and go the extra mile to improve, but Donny G’s did just that. This was a complete 360 from my last visit, and I’m happy to say they’ve completely won me over. If you’re looking for amazing food and top-notch service, give Donny G’s a try, you won’t be disappointed! PS. Huge shoutout to the Manager Marco for making things right!

    Manager George and servers Victor and Hector are amazing. Food is good but prices are too high. I had a cocktail that was listed on receipt as an extra dirty martini. Believe me that is very misleading and the upcharge was not reasonable.
