    My dining experience at Donatella's in Harrington Park on 1/11/25 was one of the worst I've ever had, and other customers said the same thing. My reservation for 2 was at 7:30 pm. We were seated after 8:30. We had to borrow menus from another table. Our order was taken after 9. Our appetizers arrived close to 9:30 and our entrees close to 10 pm. The couple next to us also had a 7:30 reservation but never got their entrees and left around 10 pm. Our food tasted good, as it usually does, but that doesn’t make up for the terrible service. Donatella's should have advised customers there would be significant delays. But they didn't. I've worked as a waitress myself, and if the kitchen was backed up or something happened to affect a dining experience, we were told to offer a free dessert, or a drink, or adjust the bill, or do something to try to make it up to the customer. It's a common practice at most restaurants, and good customer service. Donatella's didn't offer anything, other than apologies from the waiter. Due to terrible service, Donatella's has lost me a customer.

    Disappointing, understaffed, lack of service with long wait times. Food was just OK. Will not be returning.

    Very good food and prices were reasonable. Great ambiance for NYE. Had party hats and noise makers and served champagne at midnight. Worth staying for the later dinner.

    We went to Donatella’s New Year’s Eve We were seated on time and the service from start to finish was great! Servers were very attentive. We had appetizers, salads and dinners. All the food was amazing and we felt comfortable and not rushed at all. We will definitely return!

    One of my girlfriends and I got together to get dinner and tried this spot out. When we arrived we parked in their parking area. We walked in and had a warm greeting from one of the servers and he was very nice. The place was very nice. We decided to sit at window and was served by the owner and we didn't even know was the owner,until a table next to us offered a job he just told them that he couldn’t take the offer because he likes the place than the other waiter told them that he is the owner. He was very nice, My friend ordered a lychee martini drink and liked it. For our meals we both got the chicken portofino split and short ribs and it was very tasty. We really enjoyed our time.

    It was my first visit and after tonight it won’t be my last. The food and service were amazing. The artichoke appetizer might be the best artichoke dish I have ever tried. The chicken portofino was huge and very tasty. The property overall is cute and charming.

    Food is always excellent and the staff takes care of us every time, and makes us feel like home. The ambiance is modern but also classic, with the fire place in the main dining room. Have been coming here for 4 years and will be back again!
