    Fried Chicken
    Pearlita L.

    I love a good vegan restaurant! As a vegan, it is very hard to find a really good Fettuccine Alfredo. Julie Goes Green has mastered it. I highly recommend ordering this dish. We also ordered the Fried Mushrooms and Fried Chicken. Both were amazing as well. Very generous portions. We added the Fried Mushrooms to our Fettuccine Alfredo, and viola! A new dish was born. The only bad thing I can say is that I wish it was closer to me. Sad.

    Small plant based eatery with the most delicious pizza. Only a small area to eat in. Definitely recommend getting together. The buffalo cauliflower pizza was DELICIOUS !! Can't recommend enough. They did not skimp on the cauliflower. Service was pretty fast and they were friendly. Definitely will be back to try other things. Hopefully next time they will have the cheesecake for me to try ;)

    I just stumbled into this spot! Really cool place, I'm not vegan but I just liked the spread of nice ingredients, fresh and good quality. The pasta was very good, felt very home made, the coconut water was delicious!! A bit pricey, but that makes sense given the specialty and also the fact that you can tell the ingredients are really good quality. Felt like a good way to skip animal products for a meal, something I believe is very good and am trying to do more! Also, Julie was here when I was eating and she was very nice!

    i tried julie's for the first time and was overwhelmed by the number of vegan italian options, it was heaven! i tried the fiesty buffalo pizza, and i couldn't get enough! the cashew sauce was delectable, and the buffalo had a nice kick of spice. the tempura cauliflower had a nice bite to it and wasn't too greasy or soft. the greens added a nice freshness to it so it didn't feel as heavy either. will be ordering again! there is one large table to dine-in, but seems like most people grab and go here. staff is so friendly and helpful! i can't wait to come back and try more :)

    Julie is amazing! I'm so happy that when we popped in on a weeknight, Julie herself was operating the shop and was so happy to help us out and feed us some great vegan Italian food. She had mentioned her spot had been operating for years as a regular Italian spot, but went vegan recently... and I have to say, that's such a commendable thing in this day and age (to save our climate, introduce more folks to yummy vegan food, etc.)! Julie makes her vegan Italian food GOOD. A shrimp scampi with vegan shrimp? Breaded vegan chicken? Pink sauce with mushroom pasta?! Fried mushrooms appetizer that are some of the best breaded mushrooms I've had, with a generous portion to boot! I'd be happy to support Julie and her business again. So many great solid vegan options, and it's great for takeout on a date night as well when wanting to eat home. My boyfriend and I dined in, and the portions are great for the price, and we had a great time. Great food. Some of the best comfort Italian vegan food around.

    Fried Chicken - crispy, vegan & delicious! (FYI, this is different from their "drum sticks".)

    They have the most delicious vegan fried chicken I've ever eaten! Prior to eating this, my favorite vegan fried chicken was at Doomie's in Hollywood. Julie Goes Green is even better! So crispy & includes some spice (?) that reminds me of regular fried chicken, I think. Not the best photo but adding bcuz I want to show the crispy coating. Plant-based, vegetarian, vegan ppl who are also fried chicken ppl will LOVE it, IMO! Good customer service too. (Find this at the bottom of the small plates section of their menu. They also have good vegan drum sticks, similar to many other places, but the actual "fried chicken" is literally my favorite food anywhere.)

    I heard about Julie Goes Green and decided to take a trip to try it out. First thing you notice when you walk in is the "peaceful" vibe from the natural wood astatic. Next it's the welcoming nature of the owner and her staff. Last and most importantly, the FOOD! While this was my 1st visit, I can't imagine anything here not being EXCELLENT!! I had the fried mushrooms and the Protein Pizza, and BOTH were excellent. Everything was freshly made and you could taste it in the quality of the flavorful dishes. I'll be back, and you should head over and check them out. Thank me later

    Delicious dinner, really nice employees, fully recommend. Wish I could go here more often but I live in NorCal! Bonus points for a restroom.

    The vegan food options here were spot on. For all non-vegans, its really difficult to tell the difference. The place only has one table, so its time to make friends with anyone else eating here. The owners are sweet and make sure you're eating well. Simply lovely

We always seem to end up ordering the same dishes and we've never been disappointed. Everything tasted great as usual. They also had the Italian Custard on the dessert menu this time. We had tried it once before and absolutely loved it, especially the caramel sauce that comes with it. We practically had to fight over the caramel sauce. LOL. It's that good! If you ever see it on the dessert menu, I highly recommend trying it. We enjoyed everything but the overall atmosphere felt a little different this time. We actually wondered if something had changed with the management or the restaurant itself. We used to have to wait quite a while for a table but this time we went on a Friday night and there was no line at all. The crowd also seemed very different from what we remembered. We also felt a little rushed by our server which was disappointing. One of the things we always liked about Maccheroni Republic was the relaxed, laid-back atmosphere and we had never felt rushed during our previous visits. I can't quite put my finger on it but something just felt different this time. Still, the food was great and overall, we had a good time.

Love pasta and just had to try this place. Good amount of bar seating and a few indoor long tables seatings for bigger groups. More seating also available in the patio just outside the glass wall. Very cute. The venue was whimsical, but a little underwhelming with the food in my opinion. A good number of options of interesting pasta flavors and beautifully plated, but unfortunately was only able to try two. 1. Sweet corn agnolotti: highly recommended by the server and wasn't wrong. Good corn flavoring with a slight sweetness and chewy pasta. Delicious! 2. Squid ink malfadine: had high expectations but this dish was underwhelming. The pasta was good but there really wasn't much more flavor to it. Tasted like chili flakes and not much more. Wouldn't recommend this pasta. Was also torn between the broccoli bucatini and beet spaghetti. Almost went for a third but thought it would be too much carbs for one night. Perhaps another night when we're in the area.

It was freshly made (you could definitely tell!) and served in great portions. The Fettuccine alla Nerano were amazing, with incredible flavor and texture. Back in Italy, pasta with clams is my favorite dish, so I was super excited to order it since it's not easy to find in the US. It was done just right -- really great! The seafood was fresh and high quality. The only minor detail is that the clams were fresh and local, likely Pacific clams, which have a less intense, briny flavor compared to the Mediterranean vongole veraci that give off that rich sea aroma.

No detail is overlooked. Beautiful design -- reminds me of what your Italian grandma's dining room would look like if she had great taste. We took a Lyft since the parking situation is tough (but there is a paid lot down the street) and we were running late.I called and left message that we were running 15 minutes late and they got my voicemail and they were great about. Table was available right away. Cocktails were impressive - and we started with a dirty martini and a Negroni blanco. The garlic bread made with Bub & Grandma's bread is a clear winner. Our server Emerson was top notch and steered us through the menu and drinks and was informative and friendly as very professional. When he'd walk through dining room, he was scanning to see if anyone was trying to catch his eye. And when I did he came right over. None of this look straight ahead stuff I sometimes see when it's a busy night. You can get out of Donna's for a reasonable price if you stick to garlic bread, salad and one of their excellent pasta dishes (5 of the dishes are in the $25-$28 range). We splurged and got the scampi (from France) what a sauce, truffle gnocchi, amazing chicken Marsala with amazing mushroom sauce $32) and the Cesar salad was delicious and not mailed in. We ordered 1 dessert (panna cotta with pistachio brittle and fresh figs) and they brought a tiramisu and tiny glasses of their own limoncello out on the house. We also tried 1 glass of their special vermouth since we are vermouth lovers. A++++ experience all round and it was a high level of ingredients and food -- chef and his team are top notch. I now need to find out who's the chef in that kitchen because they've built an excellent team. Donna's slyly calls itself just a "red sauce Italian restaurant" but I'd say that's a real understatement...and I think it's a great date night or small group place because it's intimate and you can hear your table partners talk. I don't recall any music playing - just the warm brown background noise of fun conversation. We ate early (my preference these days) and if you don't see any openings for reservations, ask Resy to give you an alert -- you'll get notified when reservations open up. Emerson said they always hold some tables for walk ins. PS -- I normally don't leave such long reviews, but I have some friends who are chefs and who own restaurants - and when I see other Yelp reviews where someone leaves a one star because the hostess was allegedly rude when everything else is great -- I just hate to see how it can affect a restaurant. I have no relationship with this restaurant at all. I don't know any anyone who works in it or owns any part of it, but I just don't like to see people abuse the reviews -- the restaurant business is tough as it is. And as someone who has worked downtown and driven through Echo Park for 30 years - I think Donna's is a great addition to Echo Park.
