If you're looking for an Italian dining that is a bit more upscale than your typical chain restaurant, try Donatello. Their wait staff, who sport their finest tuxedo, has a reputation across the Bay area as being charming and exceptional. From the time they pour your first glass of wine to giving all the females a rose as they leave, Donatello's staff leaves a lasting impression.
Check out their Caesar salad for lunch or stuff yourself early with their Veal Dolce Vita. For dinner, choose from fresh grouper, oysters, or Italian favorites like Linguine Alle Aragosta (pasta topped with Maine lobster). Don't leave without a slice of Tiramisu—a must have dessert here.
Enjoy live music daily in Donatello's lounge along with some rare wine choices. The romantic atmosphere make this spot perfect for a fancy date.

"Amore for Donatello"

I've been dining at South Tampa's venerable Donatello for 15 years. I really love this place for a variety of reasons and having dinner there last...
