Every night Guido and Gino Tiozzo welcome you to Donatello, a fine dining restaurant serving authentic Italian cuisine since 1984.

Their constant presence and attention to details guarantee that, whether you are dining alone or hosting a large party, you'll be pleased and satisfied by your experience.

Every lady will leave Donatello with a rose on her hand as thanks for being there.

You'll see for yourself that hospitality has ancient roots at Donatello.

The menu is based on century-old Italian recipes and displays Italian specialties; the staff is friendly and professional and the desserts are delicious!

If the night is still young, come and relax at the piano lounge where blues, jazz and every love songs are played at the baby grand. Listen to the music while sipping a drink or dancing with your loved one.

    This restaurant is old school in a good way. Waiters in Tuxedo's, a single rose presented to any of the ladies at the table. The service was outstanding. Very attentive. Not pushy. Wine glass along with water always refilled, dirty dishes immediately removed. Then there is the food. Simply outstanding. Without question, one of the best Italian restaurants in the Tampa Bay area.
