" I stumbled upon Donna Margherita while wandering the Upper East Side and what a lucky find! The ambiance is quaint, making me feel like I was dining in a small Italian village. The owner, Enzo, greeted us personally, which added a nice touch. The lasagna was splendid, rich in flavor, and felt like a warm hug. I can't wait to share this gem with friends!

" Dining at Donna Margherita felt like a trip to Italy! The food was exquisitely prepared, bursting with authentic flavors that reminded me of my grandmother's cooking.

Highly recommend the squid ink pasta — best I’ve ever had! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cozy little Italian restaurant that truly feels like home. I celebrated my birthday here, and it was delightful! The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable evening. The tiramisu was the best I've ever tasted. I will definitely return, and I appreciate that they have many vegetarian options as well. " (*Curated Review*)
