Donatello's Restaurant

We love Donatellos and have been here a good few times . My husband and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary there tonight. The food was fantastic as always . We had a lovely table in the corner . My husbands dinner had come out before mine , which I had absolutely no problem about I’m not one to complain . No harm it gives him a head start as once mine arrives I can’t get the food in fast enough here 😂. One of the floor staff possibly a manager noticed I didn’t have my food , and went to check the kitchen. Again I never complained , wasn’t bothered in the slightest but they came down with a glass of Prosecco on the house and my dinner was out within minutes. I had ordered gluten free pizza base so took that bit longer . They went above and beyond for us and all the staff we had met were brilliant . One staff member in particular makes it’s such a great experience . I never got his name but he’s from the Philippines. He is such a lovely person who made the experience perfect . At the end they gave us a free shot as well to congratulate us one one year of marriage . We love it here and can’t wait for our next date night here . Thanks everyone 😃

Good lunch with my wife happy with her brushetta and chicken dish. I only has a main as a Coeliac which was spaghetti carbonara but was substituted with gluten free penne which was fine but too heavy a pasta for the dish. It fascinates me that most Italian restaurants use gluten free penne instead of gluten free spaghetti of which is widely available in all supermarkets and tastes lighter and better than penne hence my score of three. service was pleasant but we had a long wait sitting the cold air between courses. They could do better but food is good. It is pricey compared with the huge competition in Maynooth
