"It is always a pleasure to visit my favorite place in all of New Jersey which is Donatella Restaurant, the most authentic Italian cuisine, quality, freshness and an unforgettable flavor, it is a very cozy and pleasant place, the best attention from the staff, I always visit this wonderful place with my husband, my friends and my family. Thank you very much for your wonderful attention from the owner, the waiters like Marvin and the chefs. If I could give a score of 100 I definitely would. thank you so much! Suzanne Estrella"

"I hate to be that guy but the food wasn't anything different from the regular Italian restaurant. The ambiance was perfect so was the service. Maybe I have to give it a second try."

"Disappointing Change in Service at Restaurant Donatella I've been a regular at Restaurant Donatella because I like their food and the cozy atmosphere. But my recent visit was a letdown, and I feel the need to share my thoughts. On my last trip, I was surprised to see a mandatory 20% service charge on my bill. When I asked about it, the waiter said they added it because some people don't tip well on weekends. This forced gratuity feels like an insult to customers. It suggests that the restaurant doesn't trust its staff to provide good service without making customers pay a big tip. It also assumes that everyone will be happy with the service, no matter what. I understand that staff should be paid fairly, but making service charges mandatory, especially when the service is not up to everyone's expectations, feels unfair and off-putting. It also makes me wonder if the staff are happy with their pay and if customers are happy overall. The restaurant should address staff pay concerns without making customers pay more. I used to enjoy my visits to Donatella and looked forward to a good experience. But this change has made me rethink. I hope the restaurant management reconsiders this policy and lets customers choose how much to tip. Until then, I'd advise people to be aware of this extra charge and decide if the overall experience is worth it."

"I would give this place a 10 if I could. The service and staff honestly make the place amazing. Marvin the bartender, the waiter, the host, he can do it all and do it with grace! My family comes here once in a while and we are always treated with the greatest amount of kindness. And THE FOOD!! Amazing is an understatement. I highly recommend this place and please when you go say hello to the spectacular Marvin!!"

"It was a great way to celebrate a birthday dinner. A very delicious meal and great hospitality. Friendly staff and food made this birthday special."
