Donna's

Italian · Echo Park, Los Angeles, CA · $$

LivelyGreat for groupsCocktailsSpecial occasion

Donna’s is inspired by an east coast, red sauce joint. The menu is made up of those Italian-American classics that you expect, but done really well with California ingredients. Here at Donna’s we’re loud and lively, with warm and familiar service. We’ll remind you what comfort feels like. And you’ll have the best night out (since the last time you were here).

“This is a Amazing place! Been wanting to go for a year. I live out of State so once i knew when i was coming to LA, I put a calendar reminder for one month out. When it was time I made my reservation and was only able to get an 845pm Rez. But it was totally worth it!! The hostess & server were so nice, such assets to the establishment. Needless to sat the food was so delicious! I would definitely return - need to set my reminder again!”

“Everything about this beautiful homey Italian joint is 10/10. Service was fantastic. Best part was the food blew us away— each dish was top notch not exaggerating. Garlic bread will change your life. Meatballs were amazing. Vodka pasta was the best I’ve ever had. Spinach papardelle was mouthwatering. Not overhyped. This place deserves all the praise.”

“April 2026. Outstanding. Celebrated wifeys Bday. Every dish ordered was perfect flavored and balanced. Highly recommend the bread (from Out of Thin Air (Local bakers in LA)). MUST GET the Shrimp Scampi! Best dish in LA! Get that and soak up the bread in the sauce. That itself will leave you happy! Had both martinis and Peroni for the evening which were amazin! Recommend! Remains our favorite Italian restaurant in LA. Go!”

“This place is not overhyped. The food is obviously delicious - but the service is incredibly kind and gracious…from the hostess to the server to the busser to the manager on duty. Everyone made us feel very welcome. Can’t wait to go back! They had a charred snap pea and apple side that is still haunting me. Highly recommend.”

“I had a great experience at Donna’s. The vibe was amazing and made it such a fun and enjoyable place to dine. The dishes that really stood out were the lasagna and the Caesar salad. Both were delicious and definitely worth ordering. The garlic bread was good, though I found it a bit too garlicky for my taste. The chicken Parmesan was decent, but not as memorable as some of the other dishes. Overall, a great spot with a lively atmosphere and a few standout menu items. Definitely worth checking out.”
