Amazing food and well worth the long reservation wait time.
Easily the best Italian restaurant in the neighborhood.

So , I had a senior moment and arrived at Dodger Stadium on the wrong date . I still wanted to have a date night with my wife and spun the Yelp roulette wheel and hit the jackpot when I landed on Donna's . We arrived without a reservation and w
Date Night with babe.
I really enjoyed this restaurant, but the tables are so tiny. The food was so good I forgot to keep taking pictures . Our server was really nice. Shout out to my man
Literally the best vodka sauce pasta I have ever had! Also
Literally the best vodka sauce pasta I have ever had! Also the chicken parm was huge and can feed 2-3 people. The tiramisu was phenomenal I loved the salted cream on top. Garlic bread was good but a little too crunchy and hurt to eat
First time trying out Donna's and it was not disappointing
First time trying out Donna's and it was not disappointing at all it was absolutely delicious. I've been wanting to try out Donna's for a while now and I'm glad I did. It's a nice and cozy restaurant with nice decor and great
Such a yummy Italian restaurant tucked away in echo park.
The inside basically transforms from the outside and it's so cute and cozy. The food was bomb and our waiter was attentive and fun. Would love to come back.
In short: overrated but good quality food with a few
In short: overrated but good quality food with a few stellar items. Service was great though strangely strict about sitting all together and ordering all at once. We ordered the calamari, shrimp in oil, garlic bread, and chopped salad for appetizer
Hands down the best Italian restaurant around.
I made reservations for my boyfriend's birthday and he absolutely loved it. The food was served nicely and at the right temperature. Our server was the sweetest even wished my boyfriend a happy birthday, she gave great recommendations, & was

To be very honest, my first trigger giving Donna's a try
To be very honest, my first trigger giving Donna's a try was the article calling it out as one of the hardest spots to make reservation in town. I did witness it from how fast all spots got taken right at the moment they were released 4 weeks in adva
Hey hey.
We were pleasantly surprised by those stuffed red peppers, and my wife couldn't stop eating them-so good. Our appetizers came out quick, and our server was pleasantly attentive. Lastly, the entrees were filling, as we went with the chicken Parmesan-w
The inside has such a cool vibe.
Our waitress made sure we were taken care of. The chicken Parmesan was ok, something about it was off though.
The service was great, but the portions were small.
This is surprising for it being an Italian restaurant. Culturally, Italian cuisine is ample portions and this was not. Unfortunate, given the higher than anticipated price point. Otherwise, the ambience was great and it has private parking for patron

Superb service, cozy, tranquil, friendly environment, the food was excellent, the star of the show, in my opinion, was the linguine Roberts service added more ease and created a very welcoming dining experience. I'll be returning soon.
Caesar, bomb.
Garlic Parm, bomb. Fusilli ala vodka, bomb. Service was excellent. Very attentive and stopped by multiple times without interrupting mid conversation. Ambiance is in line with Italy. Loved that they had an open bar in addition to the wine collecti

If I'm going to write a review, it's typically because it was amazing or awful. But Donna's fell smack dab in the middle... The aesthetic and ambiance is adorable. So well curated and thoughtful (even the bathroom!) The starters, garlic bread and br

Got lucky with a last minute reservation and had heard so much about it so I was hoping it wouldn't just be the hype. Let me first say, it exceeded expectations with how the ambience and attention the waiters/servers showed menand my friend. The food

This resturant is delicious! I've been trying to get a reservation for weeks, but decided to stop by at 5 and pray for a table. Luckily I was able!! My server was michael and not only was he helpful kind and funny he gave great suggestions. My bf and
took my wife to Donna's for our anniversary Dinner.
The ambience and staff were great. The garlic bread was to pretty darn good, my wife loved her pasta but the lasagna while tasty was teeny tiny appetizer sized. My wife even giggled when it came out! LOL

If you're looking for that classic, old school family-style Italian dinner in LA, Donna's is the way to go. They have a lot of the classics like pasta Ragu, chicken Parmesan, spaghetti and meatballs, veal picatta, etc. But they also bring a new age f

Garlic bread and Caesar salad were great! Vodka pasta was eh, but service was so good! Adorable decor!
Really good Italian American food in the most beautiful
Really good Italian American food in the most beautiful charming spot. Staff is really nice and we had great service. The pasta and chicken were the stars. I personally would skip the overpriced bread but it's good to dip in sauces.

I'm not sure if the reservation time (9:30pm as that was the only time available due to reservations being hard to come by) impacted the quality of the food but I share this just to keep in mind when reading this review because we went with high hope

My partner and I walk around this part of town and go out to eat quite often. We noticed Donna's a while back and tried to go, but learned of how popular it was. We had stopped in twice previously and were quoted 2 hour wait times and left, so we dec

This was our second time at Donna's -- we couldn't wait to come back. The chicken Parmesan is AMAZING, one of the best we've ever had and also highly recommend the fusilli alla vodka -- it's very rich & flavorful. The espresso martinis are delici
Connect with users posting reservations for Donna's Los Angeles
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Donna's Los Angeles. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Donna's Los Angeles at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Donna's Los Angeles page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Donna's Los Angeles to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Donna's Los Angeles!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
