Donna Margherita - New York

Yesterday my wife and I decided to go for dinner al fresco at Donna Margherita. We had tagliatelle alla matriciana, the best I ever had. We shared a wonderful seafood salad simply done and delicious, a few glasses of white wine. To end it we had an original cannolo siciliano with espresso coffee. We highly recommend this Restaurant. Special thanks to Enzo, Salvatore and the Staff which they where very kind and professional. Best wishes and lots of luck, Franco Rachel.

I am a local upper-eastsider who lives in the building the restaurant is located in. What an amazing, wonderful place to sit down for dinner or lunch. The staff is welcoming and friendly. The food is always delicious. It's hard to find really good quality ingredients but Donna Margherita always puts out quality food. Great for a date night. The owners/chef Sal and Enzo make you feel like FAMILY. You are always family when you sit down for a meal there. I will come back endless times to have a fantastic meal and experience.

This place transports, a true slice of Napoli. Donna Margherita is Culinary Magic! Anytime I'm in NY, I make it a point to visit. Never disappoints, a Real Must Try! Everything is authentic, imported from Italy. Highly recommend you try their Meatballs and the Mafalde with Ricotta. And of course, let's not forget the Star of the Show, the Bread Pudding!

The food here is one of the most authentic Italian places in NYC! It was a fantastic experience in every way! David

Hands down, one of the BEST Italian restaurants you must visit in New York City. I have been to New York multiple times, but this spot, which looks like a hole in the wall, is beyond amazing. I've been to Positano, Lake Como and Rome, Italy, and dining here has taken me back there. The staff is incredibly kind, at your service and will go the extra mile. Upon walking in, you feel at home. It is cozy, inviting and intimate. You'll see romantic couples, elderly best friends, business man and families dining. It is very inclusive and an experience. The service and care the waiters have is impeccable. There is not a single item you won't like off the menu. What I appreciated is meeting the owners, one whose name is Enzo. The chef takes time to prepare your dish. When they say, made with love, you can feel it here. I'm not an octopus lover but have had my share. This spot has by far the best octopus dish. Every special on the menu for the day took me somewhere else. The papardelle with ribs was mouth melting. They prepare the ribs for 7 hours. The branzino fish was exactly how I like my branzino. The red wine served was created by the family who owns First Formula. Definitely try their antipasto appetizer full of imported cheeses and cold cuts. Our entire table enjoyed absolutely everything. From the Bruschetta to the seafood fettuccine to pizza to the sangria drinks to the bread pudding and chocolate cake, every bite transported you to Europe. This is the spot I'd visit over and over again. It's authentic, lovely and a taste of Italy in America. Can't wait to be back.
