   My group went for late lunch and we thoroughly enjoyed our selections. The salad that accompanied the meal was larger than most restaurants provide as was the soup; both very good. The entrees were very fair priced especially in these inflationary times. The wait staff was friendly and accommodating. We all decided it was a place we would return to and recommend to friends.

   We absolutely enjoy going to Donny G’s for dinner. The food is delicious, and the waitstaff is awesome to say the least. They are always on point. My son mentioned that as much as he tried to drink water to the half way point on his glass the waiter would fill it back up. He couldn’t believe how observant the waiter was. Lol. We have never had any issues while dining here and I hope it stays that way. Knock on wood. Lol

   We went on a Saturday night for a friends bday dinner and there was a singer in the lounge and he was pretty good which was the only redeeming thing about the night. We ordered a dozen baked clams for an appetizer and they were the tiniest clams I’ve ever seen, about the size of a quarter and they were swimming in oil! We ordered soup and before we had taken a few spoons full the waitress brought out our entrees. I had a francais chicken piccata and it was possibly the saltiest thing I have ever eaten and I like salt! This place looks like an old school Italian restaurant but don’t be fooled, I grew up in an Italian family and this food is anything but authentic! When there is saganaki on the appetizers list in a supposedly Italian restaurant run for the door! We should have just had drinks and listened to the old school singer in the lounge, he was very good.

   Server was terrific, very attentive. The food was delicious, not one complaint from our table of five. And we were surprised when the bill came as it was very reasonable for two appetizers, five generous dinners, a bottle of wine and dessert. Great neighborhood place; we'll be back.

    The dinner was delicious as always but the table we were sat at was terrible. We were right by the front door. There was a private party so the front door was constantly being opening and closing. It was very cold. Our service was ok. We waited quite a while for drinks and when dinner came and we ordered another round, that was another 15-20 minute wait.

    This was our second time there. Each time the food was quite laking in flavor. Both the soups and linguini with clam sauce were nothing but bland. To make matters worse this time, the waitress kept disappearing. The kitchen needs to be introduced to spices and salt and pepper.

    We wanted our friend from out of town to have a classic Chicago-style Italian restaurant experience. Donnie G's delivered. The food was excellent, the service was beyond excellent, and the ambiance was perfect. The menu is very thoughtful and informed. For example, the pasticcio has a Greek influence in the spices, which is exactly what you would find in (Southern) Italy. We were just really impressed overall and will definitely be going back.

    I was there to hear the Robin Watson Combo and I really enjoyed the restaurant. The food was very good. My sister had the pork chops and I had the veal a la chef. Both were excellent. I loved the crispiness of the breading. My only suggestion is that they clean the grill better. My sister and I shared the grilled calamary but there were some spots that were acrid because of the char on the grill. That's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

    My husband’s shrimp was too tough for him to eat. He is 82 and has no dentures, so the waitress removed from our bill the cost of his food, even though I traded my food for his. My chicken Marsala was delicious, although I only had a small amount before giving it to him. He ate very little if it. It looked like on a Wednesday afternoon that we were the only patrons. My daughter ate all her food, a mix of many seafoods on a bed of pasta.

    Our food was amazing. The staff was very attentive. Open table somehow allowed me to make 11:00 a.m. reservation but the restaurant doesn't open till 11:30. I would like to thank the very friendly staff, specifically Juan and Summer, who started early for us so that we can eat with our Aunt who we barely get to see.. we did tell them that we would wait but they still told us to have a seat and that they would help us, especially amazing people. New customers for life .
