Congratulations to Amber and Chad....Donatelli's catered their reception tonight and here is a picture of the bride and groom with some of the characters from Star Wars.."May the 4th be with you." Fun reception.
Come on in on this cold and rainy day to try one of our new special appetizers... Guaranteed to turn that frown upside down!

Delicious homemade cinnamon chips encircling a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream, then drizzled with Carmel sauce and topped with whipped cream and a Cherry. To die for!!!

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter...we are closed today so that our staff can spend their day with family and friends. Thought everyone might like this letter to the Easter Bunny left out last night by one of our employee's kids. Happy Easter
Italian Nachos are back!!! March 25th-31st
Gelato and sorbet have arrived....made fresh by Ring Mountain in Eagan....come in and check it out....apparently we will need to make our own spring...what better way than to warm up with some yummy Creme Brulee, Pistachio or Stracciatella (chocolate chip) gelato.
Feeling a little twisted? Then this dish is for you:
Come in this week end and enjoy some Twisted Mac 'N Cheese...(Surgeon General of Donatelli’s Warning: not Weight Watchers approved)...This is not a kids mac ‘n cheese…Cavatappi (twisted pasta) tossed with Andouille sausage and homemade cheese sauce---Velvetta, cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, cream, butter and Rotel tomatoes; then topped with more mozzarella & cheddar and baked into gooey goodness.
Moving our Beer selection a bit more towards craft and local brews. We may even be bringing in a few local taps this year. Come check out our new beer list. We now have Big Wood Brewery's Morning Wood...
MORNING WOOD
The blast of coffee flavor in this beer will send you right back to this morning when you woke up, stretched, and thought “Hey, this is gonna be a great day!” Morning Wood adds hints of oatmeal and malt to make every coffee-lover’s secret beer dreams come true.
Take a lesson on how to eat rigatoni at Donatelli's...note the enthusiasm!
What to do in the middle of the night when you can't sleep....why eat some gelato made by Ring Mountain, a local gelato shop in Eagan...but you can buy it at Donatelli's. Choose from Salted Caramel, Mocha, Pistachio, Mango and more!
