For quite sometime now, I’ve been hearing a lot of reviews about Chef Donatello. Some are good while the others are not, and so I decided to try it myself.
Upon entering their Megamall Branch, we were enthusiastically greeted by their food servers as they assisted us towards the available table. The place is not that big and the ambiance is very humble but not cheap. However, they could use a better and comfortable tables and chairs to suit to the homey feel of the entire resto.
As they handed out the menu, I noticed that they have variety of American-Italian dishes which is amazingly affordable.
First, we ordered for their Ribs Risotto and Chicken Risotto, and these two are stellar. The Ribs Risotto is marinated into perfection, very tender and well, yes, juicy and full of flavor. While the Chicken Risotto is equally delectable. For 99php each, it is indeed a good treat.
For Pasta and Pizza, we ordered their Awesome Foursome Set for only 549php. The set consist of 2 Spaghetti Bolognese, 2 Fetuccini Carbonara, 4 Italian Soup, 4 Drinks, and 12” Donatello Special Pizza.
The pasta may look like an ordinary pasta you can get anywhere but it taste really good, I must say, especially their Carbonara which has an amazing sauce.
The Pizza is also good but nothing extra ordinary considering it is their special. The dough taste like a normal bread, therefore it spoils the very idea that you are eating a real pizza.
The Soup has a very delectable and distinct Italian taste. Although served in a small amount, you can taste a subtle hint of Italian herbs and spices that is quite filling in itself.
Although I’ve been hearing that their service is not good, fortunately, we were assisted by one of their food server who has the knowledge about good customer service. He even chatted with my mother about the ingredients used for their Italian Soup, but then of course, he didn’t divulge all the information regarding those so-called-secret-recipe. But then again, we were served and accommodated very well.
All in all, it was a good experience. Good food, affordable price, and good service, I will definitely come back to try other food varieties they offer.
