Donatelli's

t in contact with us and answered all of our questions.

rience they bring to your wedding with all the little details that they help with. From supplying plates, napkins, glassware etc. in you per person price, to dismissing tables and serving guests day of. The were amazing and made dinner a breeze! Not only was the service amazing, but the FOOD! We had multiple guests comment that it was the best wedding food they had ever had! We could not recommend Donatellis and their team enough for anyones wedding day! (:

l was amazing to work with throughout the planning process, always quick to respond and on top of every detail. Chris led our tasting and was so professional and knowledgeable, helping us create the perfect menu for our guests. And wow — the food! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how delicious everything was, especially the Cajun tortellini, which was a huge hit. The day-of staff was so friendly and efficient, keeping the buffet line moving smoothly so everyone was served quickly. They even went above and beyond by helping us cut our wedding cake (which was made by a friend). If we could do it all over again, we’d choose Donatelli’s every single time!

was a huge priority. I had eaten at Donatelli’s in St. Paul before and never once gotten sick, so I knew right away they were the first place I wanted to reach out to when planning our wedding. From the start, they blew us away. At our tasting, every single dish was out of this world—it was honestly tough to narrow it down to just two entrées because everything was so delicious. Even the salads were incredible, and their gluten-free buns? Absolutely amazing! I’ve always thought pasta is one of the best foods to make gluten-free, and Donatelli’s proved me right—their gluten-free noodles were perfection and totally undetectable from regular pasta. On the wedding day, their food spoke for itself. Guests raved about both entrée options (our red sauce pick: Lasagna, and our white sauce pick: Cajun Chicken Tortellini—available gluten-free). People had such a hard time deciding between them because both were mouthwatering! Beyond the food, Donatelli’s went above and beyond with service. The staff was thoughtful, professional, and so attentive—they treated us like royalty at the head table, making sure we had everything we needed for our very first meal as husband and wife. What also really stood out to me was how well they handled dietary restrictions. Not only did they take care of me with gluten-free options, but they also accommodated our guests who needed dairy-free and vegan meals. That kind of care and flexibility made such a difference and allowed all of our guests to enjoy the meal without worry. I cannot recommend Donatelli’s enough. Their food is phenomenal, their staff is top-notch, and their attention to detail made our wedding meal absolutely perfect. If you need a caterer—especially if you’re looking for gluten-free options—you will not regret choosing Donatelli’s!

ran seamlessly on our wedding day and multiple people approached us saying it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. We also got to take home any leftovers the day after the ceremony, which was an added bonus. If you're considering Donatelli's for a wedding caterer, I would highly recommend them.

made a comment to us about how impressed he was by their service. I could not recommend Donatelli's enough.

mend enough! We used their gelato for our dessert too it was that good.

Seriously- from the people who assisted us with our tasting, to Phyl who was in frequent communication with us to ensure everything was exactly as we wished, to the staff who worked our event, we are so beyond thrilled we chose Donatelli’s.

e sure our dinner ran smoothly. Phyl was super communicative and accommodating to all of our needs. We received so many compliments from our guests on the food. The beef tenderloin was to die for! Thank you Donatelli's!!

d up to their reputation! The communication was great throughout the entire process, and we received so many compliments about the food and the service on the day. We had some tricky dietary restrictions among our guests and bridal party, and they went above and beyond to accommodate them and make sure everyone was fed! Overall, we are so happy we picked them to cater our wedding, highly recommend!

or you to look at. At the wedding, the wait staff made an announcement on how the buffet was going to work and were diligent in it running smoothly! They checked in on how myself and my husband were doing frequently as well throughout dinner. The food was DELICIOUS and we received so many compliments, some saying it was the best wedding food they've had. The bar snacks and late night pizza included in the package were a hit too. The only downside is that we didn't have any leftovers like we expected- probably because it was so good! Thank you for your excellent service and feeding us and our guests so well!

ed tomato basil chicken. Most wedding chicken is dry but this food was great and people also really enjoyed the vegetables and lasagna. Dinner service was efficient and well organized. There were plenty of options for our vegan, vegetarian, gluten free guests etc. The gelato was delicious!! Donatelli’s was affordable and great quality!!! Highly recommend.

e said this was the best wedding food they’ve had (especially the Cajun tortellini. They were very accommodating to any dietary restrictions, very generous with portion sizes provided in the tasting prior to the wedding, and very professional and friendly while serving on the wedding day. The gelato was delicious and a fun, unique dessert. Thank you Donatelli’s!!

the Cajun tortellini and lasagna, and my goodness, it was so good! Plus, they packed and store your leftovers over night so they can be easily picked up the next day. Service was also fantastic! Can't recommend them enough!

were amazing, happy, and going above and beyond. We had so many compliments on our food. Special shout out to the team for their flexibility. We couldn’t decide which gelato flavors we wanted so the team let us come in to the store and take home small batches of every sample. It shows how much they go above and beyond. AMAZING!

he food! We got the spinach tortellini, tuscan chicken, roasted vegetables, spinach salad, and gelato! Highly recommend.

ing the menu and let us completely customize pasta options. They work with dietary restrictions with no issue. The food was sooo good - guests all loved it. So much that we didn't have any left over. The level of service was top notch - we did buffet style and they handled every single detail with no issue at all. All the staff was so kind and helpful. I can't say enough good things about them! Highly recommend using them.

phenomenal. They were about 40% cheaper than other vendors we were considering, and the food was twice as good. We had a buffet for our wedding and we had both and amazing assortment and way more delicious food than we could possibly eat. You can't go wrong with Donetelli's!

as able to make work. Their service was amazing.

op on things throughout the whole dinner and cake cutting!

food amazing but their staff were great! They did a great job and were on top of everything the day of my wedding! An added bonus is that you get to pick up the leftovers from the wedding the next day! We ate the leftovers and did our gift opening! Donatelli's is the best and I can't thank them enough for all that they did!

d with them. No pressure and gives you options. - Leading up to the event, she was communicative and really made sure we had what we WANTED, so that she can deliver. -During our event, cannot say enough good things about her team. Her team was friendly, responsive and overall attentive. Our guests could not say enough great things about the food and really appreciated the menu of items for them. We received numerous compliments that this was the best wedding food they had. We even had multiple people who asked how they could get more after the wedding. We even had a guest who shared that their kids don't like eating veggies, but the roasted veggies were not left on their plates. If you want a painless process with your caterer that will not break your bank, you need to stop here first.

bout the food and we even got leftovers! If you are on the fence, don't be. They will take care of you and your guests like family. 1000% recommended!!!

ate night mac and cheese, it was delicious and perfect. I cannot thank Trish enough for answering every single one of my questions-in which there were many! She was always so professional and given their experience they knew exactly how to handle it. We were impressed both by the professional presentation and how well the buffet was executed with more than enough food for everyone to get 2nd and 3rds-which we were told by many of our guests they did. The #1 thing on my wedding “want" list was good food, and man did Donatelli’s deliver! We cannot thank the whole crew enough for making it so smooth and taste so great. We look forward to many return trips to the restaurant in the future to enjoy their food!

and they were so accomodating as we had to make changes along the way. The wedding day staff were great! Guests were served quickly and staff checked in with us multiple times to make sure everything was what we wanted. They provided both our buffet pasta dinner and gelato dessert and I wouldn't change a thing!

he options, to the amazing gelato at the end. We could not have been more happy with the fantastic service and professionalism of this company. The food was phenomenal, the service was incredibly well-oiled and smooth. Trish was wonderful to work with, and we cannot say enough good things about this company! If you like Italian food, this vendor is an amazing option, and we highly recommend

rk with and everyone raved about the food, even the vegetarian meal. Highly recommend!

rish and her team managed our event with absolute professionalism and grace. Our event was held in Sept. 2021 and the food was top notch and the service impeccable! Our guests continue to rave about the delicious food. Donatelli's also managed all of the special dietary requests beautifully (the gluten free guests were thrilled with the delicious options.) I highly recommend serving their gelato for dessert and ordering small, bite sized desserts to accompany it instead of serving a standard wedding cake. The gelato was an absolute hit! We are 100% happy with our choice of Donatelli's as our caterer and would recommend them every time.

e knew we had to choose them to cater our wedding. They were upfront about everything and their communication was awesome! On the day of the wedding we had the braised beef, cajun tortellini, bread, and a spinach salad with a balsamic dressing. They had buttered noodles for the kids and were able to accommodate for our guests who were gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian. Our guests told us all night about how great the food was. I would definitely recommend Donatelli's!

don't have to worry about that with Donatelli's. The Cajun Chicken Tortellini was a crowd favorite...a must have! Our venue also loves working with this restaurant for their professionalism and efficiency.

s catering our wedding! Many guests at our wedding (and still today) approached us to share how much they enjoyed the food. Donatelli's had an efficient process to feed everyone so our guest did not wait long to eat. Highly, highly recommend Donatelli's catering for any event.

and and I chose 3 different main dishes - lasagna, chicken tortellini (this was the Kost popular choice), and braised beef that melts in your mouth. They have many more options than what we had - come ready to eat if you have a tasting. It’ll be almost impossible for you to choose! At the end of the dinner, we had Donatelli’s cater in some of their raspberry sorbet. It was a hit - not only because it was a great palette cleanser, but because it was DELICIOUS! Our wedding had multiple people with dietary restrictions and Donatelli’s handled it superbly. I felt a sigh of relief when I knew Donatelli’s was able to feed EVERYONE at my wedding! Thank you Donatelli’s for making our day delicious! We will be back at your restaurant soon for more tasty food :)

sponsive and helpful. The executed the entire night flawlessly.

changes with COVID. When we had to cancel our reception due to the peak of COVID cases and government restrictions, we did have a deposit with them- so instead of that being a total loss, Trish put together food for our rehearsal dinner. It was the same food we were going to have for our rehearsal dinner. It was great food and such AMAZING service during a difficult time! We absolutely will continue to go here for dinner to support this community restaurant for their delicious food AND the compassion and service they showed during a very difficult time. THANK YOU!

asting, we knew immediately that we would pick them. The tasting itself was so good! With Covid we had to downsize and change serving up differently and Donatelli's had no problem being flexible working with us throughout that process. From start to finish, they were great to work with and their food is amazing! I would highly recommend Donatelli's to anyone!

hire them for our wedding the minute we left the building. They went above and beyond giving us various foods to try in order to select the meal we wanted (and we even got to take home leftovers!). Initially our plan was to have a buffet style serving at our wedding but when the pandemic hit we changed to plated and Trish and the team at Donatelli's did such a wonderful job with multiple safety measures put into place to make us and our guests comfortable. The food is INCREDIBLE - you can't go wrong with any pasta and their braised beef and late night pizza was raved about from our guests! They were very accommodating for dietary restrictions. We also chose to have their gelato as our wedding desert and it was amazing. We cannot recommend Donatelli's enough for their professionalism and an amazing meal for our wedding day!

they made multiple changes to their process to accommodate our wedding. The food and gelato were outstanding and working with Trish was so easy. Every time I spoke with her I felt more confident about how our reception would come to life. If you want great food, stress free planning and an amazing dinner at your reception book Donatellis!

t with strawberry spinach salad, garlic bread, roasted veggies, Mac and cheese, tomato basil chicken z and gelato for dessert. everything was delicious! also included late night pizza and they had all plates, napkins etc. we can't say enough good things about choosing them for our day!!

sh and her team were incredibly organized and attentive. They moved our 190 guests through the buffet in a timely manner and the service staff were more than accommodating. Trish was quick to communicate and to answer all of our questions throughout the planning process. We feel fortunate to have had such a positive experience with Donatelli’s and would recommend their catering services to anyone!

only did 1 catering tasting because we knew we wanted Donatelli's for our event. The food is the best and they were so organized. I had zero worries with the catering part of my wedding because I had so much confidence with the staff. Trish-you are great!! I also love that we can visit the restaurant and have the same food we had on our wedding day!

f our favorite hometown restaurants. The service was fast, attentive, and superb quality! You even get to keep any leftover food, which was so fun to come home to after our mini-moon! It was just as delicious as our wedding day, and a fun way to keep the wedding going because the post-wedding blues are a real thing! You will not be disappointed if you hire them. To die for food and a-plus service.

ations were beyond exceeded. The food, service, and everything in between is absolutely exceptional. Our guests are still raving about how delicious the food was and how outstanding the service was. They truly cater to all needs and dietary restrictions so that no one at your wedding or event goes home hungry. We would highly recommend Donatelli's to anyone planning an event and looking for top notch food and service.

ey were accommodating to our guests with dietary needs and everyone had their food so quickly. I truly couldn't have asked for anything better in a caterer.

ty of questions being an out of town bride. They were easy to work with and super flexible. The food was fantastic, and our wedding guests couldn’t get enough. We had appetizers, cajun chicken tortellini, lasagna, chicken marsala, roasted veggies, salad and bread. Highly recommend the cajun chicken tortellini and Donatelli’s overall!

Their food and customer service was top-notch. Trish was great to work with, and the staff ensured that everything went off without a hitch. We also appreciate that you went out of your way to take care of our guests with dietary restrictions.
