Gift Tips
- Book a table in the lounge on an opera or live-music night for a memorable evening; the singers often serenade birthday guests.
- Start with the baked oysters topped with spinach and cream or the Carpaccio di Filetto for a classic, elegant opener.
- For pasta, consider the lobster linguine or house-made fettuccine specials; the veal tortellini and crab-in-wine-sauce pasta are standouts.
- Seafood lovers should try the fresh grouper with sautéed onions and black olives or the jumbo prawns in white wine, butter, and lemon.
- Sharing the rack of lamb for two is a favorite for special occasions, and tableside finishes add to the experience.

Donatello Restaurant is an iconic Northern Italian dining room in Tampa, located on W Kennedy Boulevard near South Tampa. Open since 1984, it’s known for refined service, live music in the lounge, and a welcoming, family-run feel.
- Ambiance: Intimate, old-world and romantic with tuxedoed service, roses for guests, and live music in the lounge.
- Cuisine: Northern Italian fare featuring house-made pastas, fresh seafood, robust steaks, and classic desserts.
- Highlights: Tableside touches, valet service, special-occasion friendly, and a reputation built since 1984.
The menu leans into Venetian and Northern Italian traditions with careful technique and market-driven ingredients. Expect handmade pastas like ravioli and tortellini, rich sauces, and seafood prepared with clean, bright flavors. Steaks and veal are treated with a classic touch, and desserts such as tiramisu and ricotta cheesecake round out the meal.
Service is polished and personable, setting an easy pace for date nights and celebrations. Guests appreciate thoughtful touches—from valet to parting roses—that make an evening feel special without being fussy. It’s a comfortable choice for anniversaries, milestone birthdays, or a slow, satisfying dinner with great wine.
Reservations are recommended for weekend evenings and live-music nights, when the lounge adds an elegant, festive energy to the experience.
