Donatos Italian Restaurant - Port Charlotte (FL)

5 /5 Mel K.: What a neat dining experience! The restaurant is set up like you are on the streets of Italy. I highly recommend the meatballs! Everything was delicious! We barely touched our main course. Lots to eat for later... fine by me, I could eat it every day! Also wanted to add that the Sweet Tea was fresh!

5 /5 Emeric Szalay: What a pleasant surprise. Lunch was not only delicious but inexpensive. Dawn our waitress was fun and engaging. She explained the choices and refilled drinks before they were empty. We will be back for sure.

1 /5 Renee Brane: Food was ordered to go and was edible at best. Maybe if I ate in the restaurant it would’ve been better. Really disappointed in what we ordered. Nana must be rolling over in her grave because the chicken and sausage soup was fishy tasting and watery. The ricotta fritters were balls and maybe tasted ok but the marinara was flavorless. The Alfredo tasted like something from a jar and the bolognese was dry and even after doctoring it with extra garlic powder and salt it still was barely palatable, only tasted of wine. Have had good food from this restaurant in the past and it was amazing back in the day. As one authentic Italian to another…the price I paid for this sub par meal I could’ve made myself 10 times better and fed an entire family!! Do better!! Will not be patronizing this place again! Severely disappointed!

5 /5 Cindy Lou: So pleasantly surprised by this fabulous restaurant. The creative NYC decor invites you from the entrance and follows you throughout the details of every corner. The food was authentic and flavorful from the unique app variety, to home made pasta, to the freshly made dessert. Rebecca was a wonderful server. We will definitely be back again!

5 /5 Sly Rob: Went there today for their $10 lunch specials. It was delicious. I had the eggplant. It was great! Crispy & flavorful. Hubby had the pasta and meatball which he loved as well. They started us with bread and garlic olive oil. Jake was our server and he was fabulous. Super friendly and very attentive!
