DONATELLA sur Cabestany

Excellent Italian restaurant. I particularly recommend the goat cheese gratin.

Fantastic welcome! Delicious and tasty dishes, and an excellent dessert. Congratulations!

Donatella – An Italian Gem in the Heart of Perpignan If you're looking for a culinary immersion in Italy without leaving the Pyrénées-Orientales, Donatella is a must-visit. Combining authenticity and generosity, here's my experience: 🇮🇹 What We Loved (The Positives) • The Quality of the Products: This is the restaurant's strong point. The ingredients are fresh, carefully sourced, and you can taste it from the first bite. The Italian cured meats and cheeses are remarkably refined. • The Mastery of Pizzas: The dough is light, airy, and perfectly cooked in a wood-fired oven. These are far from mass-produced pizzas; here, tradition is respected. • The Setting: The restaurant has a warm atmosphere and tasteful decor, making it a very pleasant place for a romantic dinner or a meal with friends. 🧊 The downside (The welcome) • The service: This is unfortunately where things fell short. While the meal itself was flawless, the waitress's attitude created a bit of a chill. The welcome was rather distant, even icy, sorely lacking the smile and warmth one expects in an establishment with Mediterranean flavors. At times, you get the feeling you're "bothering" them, which contrasts sharply with the generous portions. 📋 Conclusion Overall rating: 4/5 Donatella is an excellent restaurant for the taste buds. The food is divine, and the value for money is very reasonable for the city. If you're willing to overlook the somewhat austere and rigid service, you'll have a wonderful gastronomic experience. Tip: Go for the food; it's well worth the trip, but don't expect any great displays of friendliness from the waitstaff.

Incredible, I simply have nothing else to add. Go and see for yourself.
