Rustic Italian cuisine with a contemporary twist,
featuring house made pastas & locally sourced seafood & meats.

Well-situated in Berkeley’s lively Elmwood district, Donato & Co. offers rustic Italian cuisine with a contemporary twist.
Chef Donato Scotti has partnered with longtime friend Chef Gianluca Guglielmi to bring his fourth restaurant concept to the Bay Area.

Anchored by a warm and sophisticated setting with a natural and authentic Italian vibe, the dynamic menu reflects the chefs’ culinary philosophies of using fresh, simple ingredients in inventive ways, drawing upon each region of Italy with a sensibility only natives can express.
