Been wanting to stop for sometime and finally did. Wish I had stopped sooner! Very friendly staff and amazing food. Check out their Facebook page for daily specials. Everything I sampled and purchased was delicious! The owner Jay was very pleasant and informative. Will definitely be going back again and again.

Smokers Corner Norwich
This is NOT your typical pizza place or Spanish food joint. They literally blow every restaurant in the same category in New london County and beyond out of the water! I was a traveling cook for 5 years and have taken interest in cooking since I was 8 so I'm pretty picky about where I eat as I'd rather make it myself because many places I've come across are mediocre. But not good Ole Donatello's! I am absolutely hooked! They always have amazing specials so I can order every day of the week seeing that im always stuck at work. The only days I dont order lunch/dinner is Sundays and Mondays because I dont have to work those days, and they're closed. Their portions are huge and well worth the price. I typically spend around $30-40 and get two meals out of it.

This place is such a sweet spot! Food is fantastic, good flavor, many choices, and friendly staff. I highly recommend it for any American, Spanish or Italian foods, drinks and delicious desserts. ?
The food was excellent i got the pernil yellow rice and beans. It's how I judge a Latin restaurant for a first time visit. I'm at a loss for words as I'm eating it other than damn that's good. The green olives in the rice add that extra flavor. The dia de los muertos decorations were up adding a nice fall vibe. Im going back again for the Italian next.

Delicious housemade food made and served by friendly people. We went back the day after our first visit; it was so good. The brisket was a special and so tender, the mofongo was amazing. I had never had it before. The outside covered tables are great to dine at and we could sit out there with our dog. Oh, try the empanadas. We’ve had the chicken, beef, beef and cheese and lobster rangoon. They’re all yummy! A+++

We ordered catering for our employee event from Donatello's. The food was excellent, the service was excellent and the price was very reasonable. We will be definitely be utilizing Donatello's again in the future.
Yummy!!! Go here! I got the jerk chicken wings, chicken empanada, and lobster Rangoon empanada. I have a suspicion. I accidently got the beef, but it was still bomb. Plantains were delish!!!!!

The food was amazing! If you’re ever in the neighborhood, I highly recommend the brisket, rice and mac n cheese! Everything was fresh and tender, you can tell they take pride in their dishes. The chef and cashier were very kind and welcoming. The atmosphere from when you first walk in, you are greeted and you feel like family. Thank you ❤️?

The twist is PR with Italiano. One of the masterpieces of Chef Jaime is tostones con mucho garlic!!! Can't wait to come back!
