Donna Margherita

“Best calamari I've had in years! And don't get me started on the Pizza. We shared a Cotto E Funghi, "Imported mozzarella, prosciutto cotto, mushroom and basil," which was delicioso! And we topped the experience with a vanilla gelato. Atmosphere is intimate and cozy! Excellent and attentive staff. Fenomenal!”

“ Exceptional Experience at Donna Margherita I had an outstanding meal at Donna Margherita, and it's easily one of the best Italian dining experiences I've had in New York. From the moment I sat down, the service was warm, attentive, and genuine -- Claudio took wonderful care of us and made the entire visit feel effortless. The food was exceptional. The Linguine alle Vongole was beautifully executed -- perfectly al dente pasta, fresh clams, and a delicate balance of white wine, garlic, and herbs. Every bite tasted like classic, coastal Italy. The Spicy Rigatoni Boscaiola was another standout: rich, creamy, and layered with flavor, with just the right amount of heat. It's the kind of dish you find yourself thinking about long after you leave. We also enjoyed a fresh mesclun salad and finished with their Italian cheesecake, which was light, silky, and not overly sweet -- exactly how an authentic Italian cheesecake should be. Between the quality of the food, the thoughtful service, and the warm atmosphere, Donna Margherita is a place I'm already excited to return to. Highly recommend for anyone looking for true, memorable Italian cuisine on the Upper East Side.”
