Donna's Los Angeles Reviews
I was able to make a reservation for Saturday at 5:30 p.
m., and I definitely recommend making one. When I arrived, there was a line out the door for a table, but with the reservation I was able to walk in and was seated right away. Everyone working was so kind and attentive, which made the experience even

Officially my current fave - the almighty Italian Gem or Echo Park, Donna's. She's popular, so expect reservations to be booked about 2 weeks out. If you want to attempt a walk in, I would arrive around the time they open, put your name d
Tucked away in a warm, inviting space, Donna's Restaurant
Tucked away in a warm, inviting space, Donna's Restaurant exudes cozy charm from the moment you walk in. The ambiance strikes a balance between casual and elegant -- the kind of place where you can enjoy a good conversation over a glass of wine
Second time here.
Not as satisfying as the first unfortunately. Seated at the bar. Ice cold air blasting down on me. Ready to bail but the very nice bar person offered to turn off the frigid a/c. Made a huge HUGE difference. Decided to stay. Service accommodating and

After years of having this place bookmarked I finally was able to visit Donna's. I've heard a lot of hype both good and bad about this place, but service and ambiance wise this place was amazing. Hanna was our server and she did an amazing

Firstly, the food was delicious and so well prepared.

Words can't explain how much I love this place! Anything you try is tasty and good quality. My favorites are Alla Vodka Pasta, Caesar Salad, Garlic bread, chicken Parmesan and branzino! Drinks are amazing too. Luckily, I was able to make reserv
A friend recommended this place to try and it was great.
The intimate setting, easy to talk to bartenders, servers very prompt and gave great recommendations, and the food top tier. Had a few plates here, Cesar salad (amazing), garlic bread (best I've had), lasagna (authentic to the tee), Fusilli all
Excellent spot.
Beautiful and relaxed atmosphere, a very classic feeling restaurant. Great service (almost overbearing, haha). The food is rich and the portions are large so I recommend sharing. We shared the fusilli alla vodka, garlic bread, and marinated olives. T
10/6/2025 Service could improve.
I was on a 30 minute waitlist and I was never called/texted. Hostess claimed I unsubscribed from the number which I have no idea what that means but the hostess had many opportunities to inform me in person since I was standing right in front of the

We had such a lovely experience at Donna's for our first time! Parking is a little tricky as there is only street parking, drove around 10 minutes until I found one. My friend and I took our chances and walked in around 6:15ish and they had 2 se
This has to be the best Italian food I've ever had.
Super flavorful and they offer extra cheese and hot sauce to add. I really liked the salad and calamari as well. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very friendly and attentive. The overall atmosphere is cozy, but buzzing with people. The garlic

Born and raised in LA, I knew some good food when I tasted it here. Zoey, our bartender, was AMAZING. She made our experience so good and welcoming, and I love that feeling when going into a restaurant that has been trending. The pasta, Caesar, and b
The service was amazing and felt authentic, not forced.
The decor and ambience were cute and cozy, and the food was so good that we all said "how amazing" it was, with every bite. No joke, I've been dreaming of this spot since I went a month ago. I wish they took orders to go, for us intr
Such a marvelous restaurant! The arancini was incredibly.
Fabulous cocktails. Great staff. Chill vibe. And a perfect walk to dodger stadium! Love this place.
Unreal vodka sauce.
Perfectly crispy chicken parm. Fast and attentive service. Obsessed with the interior design. Finally understand why reservations fill up so fast!
Came for a walk in Friday night for a friends birthday
Came for a walk in Friday night for a friends birthday dinner - it was approx a 2 hour wait so if you don't have a reservation, and aren't wanting to commit to that wait - this isn't your restaurant for the night. But if you have this

Don't get the hype about this place and everyone who says it's the best Italian they've ever had makes me question where they've been having Italian food. My buddy and I went and we were very excited considering we try any new I

Every single dish was perfect that I cried the whole time eating. The male server that helped was honest and so likable. I would go back here every day if I could. Hands down the best Italian ever.
Food was amazing but the service was even more amazing!!
Food was amazing but the service was even more amazing!! Our waitress noticed that my niece loves cheese and brought her a huge plate of cheese and even gave us nonalcoholic limoncello afterwards. She really made our dinner special
The 2 stars are for the food.
The ambiance and decor gets 5 stars. We got the chicken Marsala, lasagna, and rigatoni. Marsala was so salty I had to scrape off the sauce from my poor chicken. The lasagna was sour idk why but it was gross. The rigatoni was ok. The drinks were delic

Very cute little italian restaurant.
Great special date night spot. The waitress and the staff all were so attentive to us. I never felt like we were being ignored in a packed restaurant. The chopped salad was amazing, the garlic bread was bomb. My truffle gnocchi tasted homemade, my p

Pulled up before the 5pm opening to see a line of a dozen people on a street with many restaurants. Got a seat at the bar immediately. Bartneder was friendly enough for handling a single guy right when the place opens, meaning he was polite but not l

Easily the best Italian restaurant in the neighborhood.

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

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 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.

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 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
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.

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

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

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 $5.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $5.
* 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 $5 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 $5 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.
