    I've never had a pizza this bad -well maybe one other time, but it wasn't here in Redding. The Neapolitan that they profess to do right is definitely the wrong way to make it. Yes it is supposed to be charred a little but not cremation of a pizza! I've had it before, but in the Bay Area. Not only was it burnt, but the miss shape was out of proportion or like the map of Montana! When I opened it, I was astonished and I started laughing, it was a comical pizza I thought to myself. I took a slice of it the good part and the dough was real chewy, and it was so limp it was hard to hold on to and on top of everything else they skimpy sausages! I should've paid attention to how many reviews they only had 77. Now a real good restaurant if you have a legitimate complaint will either refund the money or give you a complimentary next time. But not Donatello's. They defended their pizza by saying,"Some people like it even darker???? any darker and it would be incinerated

    Prosciutto and arugula

    Tried this new pizza place on a friend's recommendation and was very glad I did. Great pizza. There isn't another place like this in Redding. We tried three pizzas, sausage and basil, prosciutto and arugula, and pesto, they were all good. The sausage was our favorite, I really like the prosciutto and arugula but it won't appeal to all tastes if you're looking for an American style pizza-this isn't Hawaiian or pepperoni. I love the bitter contrast of the arugula with the meat and cheese. The pesto was also good. I'd highly recommend you try this place. The owners are very nice and service was excellent. The restaurant has a nice new feel to it with some great photos on the wall.

    Great Pizza, unique, I would even say better than the one from Mosaic. Definitely still pricy, but worth it in my eyes.

    The best pizza we've had in long time, especially Northern California ! Crust was awesome, proportions were bigger than expected and the red sauce to dip in was fire! Good job!

For starters we had steamed clams, calamari and meatballs. For our mains we decided on their Bistro Filet Ravioli, which has Ricotta, Romano, Parmesan, and Asiago jumbo stuffed raviolis, creamy alfredo, chili flakes, topped with their signature pan-seared bistro filet tips. It was amazing. We also had their Ribeye steak at about $53.00. I think it was a 14oz hand-cut ribeye, and it had the best butter on it. It came with mashed Yukon potatoes and marinated asparagus. We will be getting all of this again. We were staying in a hotel so took home some great pasta. The service is great. The food is amazing and the place is just so cute and ever so clean.

However, I was extremely disappointed with my entrée. I ordered the chicken Marsala and it was so bland I was actually shocked. How could nothing on the plate have any flavor? I added salt and pepper twice and that didn't even help. The vegetables had zero seasoning. The mashed potatoes had huge chunks in them and zero seasoning. The chicken and Marsala sauce, tasteless. I saw so many reviews raving about the chicken Marsala. Maybe they got a new cook because the sauce was basically just heavy cream didn't look anything like other pictures people posted. My husband got the spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were very good and had lots of flavor but the marinara was also quite bland and the garlic bread was a joke. It was toasted bread with a smidge of butter, no garlic whatsoever. I will not go back for the price. Definitely not worth it. The fried artichokes and salad were good, but the entree is the most important part and they totally dropped the ball. Very disappointing.

I got the chicken shrimp carbonara, which was creamy and had big portions. The chicken was a little bland but with some pepper added, blended in well with the pasta.

We were seated along the large window overlooking patio seating and the Sacramento River. The views are truly lovely. Our server, MJ greeted us kindly and took our beverage order. I ordered a glass of their House White, which was a 2022 California Chardonnay and was quite good. My partner ordered an iced tea. For dinner we ordered the Ribeye and the Filet, both cooked medium. Our food arrived approximately 30 minutes after ordering. The quality of the beef here was absolutely top notch. Prime beef for sure. This was the best steak I have enjoyed in Shasta County in over 10 years. Absolutely cooked to perfection. My partner's filet was massive. This had to be at least a 20 ounce filet and he enjoyed every morsel. The sides accompanying our mains, mashed potatoes and carrots for him and mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts for me, were fair to good, but not great. The carrots were raw. As in, not only very crunchy but cold all the way through. Mashed potatoes were nice and buttery, but not nearly warm enough. These spuds sat on a plate until the beef arrived. The restaurant was very kind in offering us a complimentary slice of cheesecake since we were celebrating an anniversary. The cheesecake was dense and rich and accompanied by berry sauce and caramel sauce, both of which were lovely. Freshly piped whipped cream and mixed berries and powdered sugar on the dessert plate made for a very lovely presentation, indeed, and was most appreciated. Service the entire meal was excellent. Price for our meals: $135 + $27 gratuity for a total of $162. We have paid nearly as much for a steak dinner elsewhere in Shasta County for a meal that came nowhere close to this. Worth. Every.
