Celebrating a special occasion and want to bring the dog? Reserve an outdoor table and enjoy the delectable Italian cuisine in the company of your dog. With a focus on creating a welcoming atmosphere for all guests, Donato Enoteca provides a dog-friendly environment where you can savor your meal without having to leave your pet at home.
At Donato Enoteca, dogs are not just welcomed — they are embraced as part of the dining experience. The outdoor seating area allows you to dine al fresco with your dog by your side, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere of downtown Redwood City. The restaurant is helmed by Executive Chef Donato Scotti, who grew up in the small town of Bergamo near Lake Como, Italy, where fine cooking and homemade products were a part of daily life. Chef Scotti brings that authentic Italian passion to every dish, crafting a menu of true and honest contemporary Italian cuisine that changes weekly based on the freshest available seasonal produce.
The menu spans every region of Italy and features homemade pastas, wood-burning oven pizzas, and expertly prepared meat and fish courses, all executed in an authentic yet modern style. Artisanal products shine throughout the offerings, including fresh imported burrata, prosciutto, grappa, and premium olive oil. In-house specialties such as handmade sausages, mostarda, and lamb prosciutto showcase the kitchen’s dedication to craft and quality. The wine list is equally impressive, focusing on smaller-production boutique wineries from Italy, California, and France, making it easy to find the perfect pairing for your meal while your dog relaxes contentedly at your feet.
The staff at Donato Enoteca ensures that both you and your dog are well taken care of, from a romantic dinner for two to a casual lunch with friends. Lunch is served Monday through Thursday from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM and Friday through Sunday from 11:30 AM to 4:00 PM, while dinner hours are Monday through Thursday and Sunday from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM and Friday and Saturday from 5:00 PM to 9:45 PM.
