As always, food was absolutely fantastic, took a client who was so impressed, staff were so attentive and he felt quite spoilt by the experience. Living in Sydney I miss the amazing food that Donninis provide, the best Italian food in Melbourne and there is a lot of good ones but not Donninis. Until next time...
