Guido and Gino Tiozzo welcome you to Donatello, a four star restaurant serving Fine Authentic Italian Cuisine since 1984. Guido learned his trade at Savoy Hotel in London and Hotel des Bergues in Geneve, two of the top restaurants in Europe. With the acquired experience he opened restaurants in London and Venice. In 1984 he opened Donatello, in Tampa. Take a tour of a traditional Italian restaurant and step inside Donatello: stucco arches, tapestries, gold-leaf ceiling tiles, bouquets of roses on every table, everything contributes to create a feeling of warmth and romance. The Italian staff, donning fine tuxedos and enticing accents, welcome you into the rose colored atmosphere and the rich aromas of pastas, seafood and more. You'll be welcomed and catered to from the first sip of wine to the exquisite culinary creations, right down to the roses you'll receive at the end of your experience. Donatello’s motto is “quality and tradition”. Hospitality in Italy has ancient roots.

January 3, 2017The food was okay but the service was great. I didn't think it was worth the price at all. Pictured below are the pesto pasta, veal stuffed pasta, spinach and mushroom pasta.

November 7, 2016If you are looking for an old school, rustic Italian restaurant, this place is it. It is not cheap and doesn't have some of the Italian food that comes to mind (like lasagna, chicken parmesan, etc) but they have good service and will treat you like family.
