Cozy up to delicious flavors & oodles of charm at 5 Star Yelp Rated Donna Margherita - an Upper East Side gem nestled between the East River & Central Park. This beloved Italian trattoria invites you to reconnect, all the while savoring traditional Italian cuisine with modern touches - not to mention fabulous wine!
Grab your $65 pulse (a $126 value) for a 3 Course Dinner For Two that includes 2 Salads, 2 Entrees, 1 Dessert, and 2 Glasses of Red or White Wine.
The team behind this family-owned & operated gem are native Italians, of course, so expect authenticity. Owner Enzo Napoli and Chef Salvatore merge their talents to bring a slice (and a fork-full) of Italy to your palate so you can savor the culture right here in Manhattan.
A sumptuous glass of red vino precedes Beet Salad served with fresh goat cheese, pistachios, arugula, & lemon dressing. Next up, go for the Tartufata Pizza adorned with imported mozzarella, Italian truffle oil, cherry tomatoes, arugula, Parmigiano Reggiano and prosciutto di Parma, followed by juicy Tagliata, aka New York Strip Steak alongside roasted potatoes.
The homemade Tiramisu Della Casa - made fresh daily using a traditional recipe - is probably one of the best in the city. Forks at the ready...
Discover why Donna Margherita - a 5 Star Yelp Rated charming jewel - is as close as you'll get to hopping on a flight to Italy. This Upper East Side treat is just waiting to be unearthed, so linger over generous dishes that best showcase the culture's epicurean delights and get lost in the dreamy experience.
Chef Salvatore only uses ingredients of the highest quality to bring out the true flavors of each dish, keeping with Italian tradition and infusing your evening with the vibes of a cozy trattoria. You'll feel as though you've been transported to "la dolce vita!"
Swirl, sniff, and sip from glasses of curated red and white wines, letting your palate be enticed by the aromas and tasting notes. Next up, a wood-fired Calabrian 'Nduja Pizza cooked in their custom pizza oven will have you in foodie bliss, dotted with imported spicy sausage from Calabria, mozzarella, San Marzano tomato sauce & fresh basil.
Next up, slice into Short Ribs Di Fara, comprised of boneless short ribs in Neapolitan ragù sauce - heavenly. The homemade pasta is also divine, namely the Linguine Alle Vongole with fresh clams, white sauce, and cherry tomatoes, or the Traditional Carbonara with guanciale pork, egg yolk and Pecorino Romano.
After you've filled yourself to the brim with exquisite fare, cap it off with the kick of an Affogato (vanilla gelato, Italian double espresso) to carry you through the rest of the night. What are you waiting for...
All selections will be made from the restaurant's full dinner menu

Donna Margherita earns a dazzling 5 Stars on Yelp from 160+ reviews including:
"I would give Donna Margherita 10 stars if I could. This is my favorite neighborhood restaurant and quite possibly the best Italian food in the Upper East Side. My husband and I go out to eat several times a week in the UES and always find ourselves back at Donna Margherita. I have loved everything I have tried on the menu."
"The food was INCREDIBLE. Everyone at the table was licking their plates clean and could not stop talking about how good everything was. The bread is insane and their olive oil is probably the best I've ever had. We had the pizza with mushroom and sausage and it was fantastic. I do not post Yelp reviews almost ever but I felt like after such an awesome experience it would be wrong not to. Do yourself a favor and check this place out."
*"This is the best Italian food in NYC! Absolutely no doubt about it! If you are looking to try some authentic real homemade Italian food this is absolutely the place to go! Everything is fresh. Quality is excellent - above any imagination and staff is very professional and attentive! 5 stars plus!"
"Absolutely fabulous. Have lived in the UES for almost 3 years and this is one of my favorite places in the neighborhood. Service is amazing, food is outstanding, and the atmosphere is great. 10/10 must go."
