Donato Enoteca Redwood City Reviews from The Last Year
Love this place.
It used to my favorite celebration restaurant, but that's up for debate. Last time I was here a beautiful couple bought me dinner and offered to crew me for Barkleys Marathons - ha! Gosh, again, if you couldn't even buy me a Whole Foods gift card after I suffered economic abuse last fall... citing travel reasons as excuses.. well I don't determine what happens to you, not that creative.. ha! But enjoy your day!
Always a great ambiance with food that never disappoints.
My kids love the homemade kids menu and the service is always thoughtful to us whether I'm with my kids, or my friends. Thanks Donato for being a part of our regular dining options.
My favorite Italian restaurant in the area.
High quality food, good service. Highly recommend bigoli e coda.
This review is for the food only.
The service was amazing. We ordered a radicchio salad, burrata with rabe and tomato, bread service, roasted chicken, and branzino with garlic gnocchi. It was truly disgusting. The salad was nothing like the write up and would have been impressive if we were at Mel's Diner. The burrata was not creamy nor tasty with essentially stale bread and flavorless pesto. The burrata was also strangely ugly with overcooked broccoli rabe and a single stewed tomato. We would quickly learn this was not strange for this restaurant. The branzino was truly the ugliest dish I've ever seen with two shades of green paste, bits of brown something that vaguely looked like twigs, and no gnocchi, but rather a tasteless potato pancake with the texture of glue. While the green paste was clearly olive and tasted okay and the fish was cooked well, the potato blob was nasty. I couldn't eat it. Worse was the "roasted chicken" and potatoes which was swimming in a thin onion grease broth. My husband remarked that this was what he expected POWs must eat. The gruel onion grease broth destroyed the texture of the chicken which also had some green paste on one side only. Clearly the kitchen has zero quality control. While we did not have to wait for our food, it had clearly been sitting for quite some time before they brought it to us, which indicated they have a timing problem. They need to fire the chef and the cooking staff and start over. They also need to SCRUB CLEAN the restaurant as it smells like a frat house after a party - stale beer. We were seated in the bar area and had to move outside as the stink was unbearable. We would have walked out at that moment, but stayed because we had a gift card. Usually we walk out if the restaurant smells bad. I honestly wish we had and am surprised we did not get food poisoning. We will never ever come back to this restaurant since the food was that horrible. The front of house staff, however, should be hired en masse as they were great. The waitress, the servers, the hostess, the folks bussing - they deserve to work in a place with great food to match their great skills and chipper attitudes. This part of Redwood City has soooooo many better choices. Don't waste your time or money at this slop house.
Chef Scotti's use of seasonal , fresh ingredients is
Chef Scotti's use of seasonal , fresh ingredients is reflected in his cooking, focusing on Northern Italian cuisine. My family is from Northern Italy so we are tough critics, Donato's met our standards. An upscale dining experience, perfect for a celebration or a date night. Busy bar vibe on a Thursday evening, parking was plentiful across the street in a lot. We started with a bottle of Brunello di Montalcino as recommended by our knowledgeable waiter, the intense color with hints of cherry, berries and hints of oak was fabulous. The combination of flavors in the ravioli reminded me of ravioli I have had in Italy, the pasta dough was the perfect thickness, the brown butter sauce complimented the ravioli. The grilled Branzino was served with a salsa verde. We couldn't resist dessert, our selection did not disappoint, we will be back soon.
I have to admit to having pretty low expectations of this
I have to admit to having pretty low expectations of this place... seemed like maybe another factory restaurant in downtown Redwood City. Wow was I surprised. Starting with the server, who is knowledgeable and had great recommendations. He suggested the calamari, and we expected something out of the fryer, but it turned out to be a delicious grilled calamari with long beans and salad. Really nice and unexpected. Also, had the branzino which was delicious and the green salsa was amazing. On top of some kind of polenta cake which went perfectly. The folks I came with, had a kind of short rib pasta, which they said was incredible, as well as a Gorgonzola pizza. Raves all around. Great spot with a cool vibe right in downtown and really delivered on food and experience experience.
Great service here.
I was here for the special menu in November when the truffle pasta was on menu. Delicious. Good service. Good choice in san mateo county for dinner. Some appetizers were not fresh or tasty on my last visit but not any reason to deduct from star rating as i am not a fan of bad restaurant reviews as it's just an indication for management to correct it. You will have a great time here; worth the visit! I love sitting in outdoor area facing street when it's warm out. I will be back :) thanks
Went here for dinner on a Saturday night for a belated
Went here for dinner on a Saturday night for a belated Valentin's day dinner. Had a reservation and were seated right away. Table wasn't the greatest to be honest, right behind the bar but overall nice atmosphere and the waiter was also great. Recommended me a red wine that complimented the dish I selected in a nice way. We ordered the wild boar bruschetta as appetizer and the sea bass and the slow braised angus short rib as mains. The appetizer tasted good, but was a bit basic with not too much variation in taste. The braised short rib was nicely cooked and tender, however there wasn't nearly enough sauce so it felt a bit dry. The polenta could have been a bit creamier for my taste. The sea bass was good, but overall the dish was a bit bland and could have used some more seasoning. So overall good atmosphere, great staff, unfortunately the food was lacking flavor and didn't justify the price.
This establishment is an authentic Italian restaurant
This establishment is an authentic Italian restaurant situated in downtown Redwood City, offering abundant seating both indoors and outdoors. The menu features a splendid selection of genuine Italian cuisine, along with an impressive array of wines and cocktails. Our office group chose to dine here. We commenced our culinary journey with Moscow Mule, which proved to be just right. Now, onto the dishes: Contorni - Cavolfiore Romanesco: Regrettably, this dish resembled a regular cauliflower, lacking proper roasting. The arrabbiata sauce failed to impress, leaving me at a loss for words. I strongly discourage ordering this. Antipasti: Insalata Radici Noci E Caprino: The crispy caprino cheese stole the show, but it was a single piece within the vegetable salad. Insalata Pollo: The grilled chicken breast was satisfactory. Calamari E Fagioli: The calamari and beans were commendable, but it was not what I had ordered (Tonarelli Al Nero Di Seppia). Insalata Gamberi: Prawns outshone the grilled chicken, grilled to perfection with a usual salad. Pasta Fatta: Spaghetti Carbonara: A cheesy delight, exceptionally creamy. A must-try for cheese and cream enthusiasts. La Carne e Pesce: Branzino E Porri: Grilled Sea Bass Fillet was impeccably prepared. The sauce and braised sweet leeks were delightful. However, no extras like salad were included. Panini: Piadina Di Verdure: Unfortunately, a disappointing dish. It featured a bland medley of roasted veggies in a panini. Best avoided. Finished off with Tiramisu which was just okay. While the experience was quite expensive, it is only truly enjoyable when the right items are selected from the menu.
This place is great hidden gem.
I've come here for cocktails at the bar, which I had no clue existed until I walked to the back of the restaurant. Bartenders knew how to make great drinks. Also came here for a special event, in a private room. It's a great setup for a large party. Calamari- not your standard breaded. It was too fishy for me and it was mostly beans. Meatballs- great dish. Can't go wrong. Burrata toast- came with half of the cheese round over veggies and toast. Oxtail pasta- can't recall its name but it was good! Pasta was nice and al dente. Meat was slightly dry but still very satisfying. Would def go back, especially on their outdoor deck space on a nice day.
The service is wonderful, but the food is only okay for the
The service is wonderful, but the food is only okay for the price. I was not wowed at all. I was disappointed that they don't have the carpaccio anymore. It's just nothing really special for the price. Whoever does the menu needs to rethink because they have a really basic limited menu that isn't all that. I can go to Vesta down the street for some pizza & this tortilla thing is DEFINITELY not a panini. At least label properly....
A solid Italian spot.
I appreciated that the portions were filling and the service was fast. There was live music starting to play as we were leaving. The cappuccino was the highlight - so good! Agnolotti was also delicious. The bread basket was fine. Alcoholic beverages were on point. Outside of the cappuccino, nothing was a super wow, but it was all good. And definitely more bumping than I expected on a Thursday night!
Christmas dinner with American service …
As a group of more than 5 people you have to pay more than 20% extra on the food you eat. This is not stated on the website but is stated on the menu. The reason is more effort. The service was no better. The food was OK. Too expensive in terms of price and service. In the end it became very uncomfortable. We sat outside, near the patio door and inside things were rearranged very loudly, as if it was a case of - let's go now, we want to finish work. We are used to something different for a Christmas dinner with family! One positive thing was that we were able to exchange the wine we ordered, which we didn't like.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Newbie sellers— how fast do your reservations sell?
I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
