We want you to come to know the personality of our restaurant through experiencing our Classic Italian inspired Cuisine, by feeling the warmth of 4 distinct dining areas. We also want customers to enjoy the sounds of our Live Entertainment 4 nights a week in our Bar area with the Entertainers on a small stage behind a Grand Piano. Our purpose is to provide you with “An Experience” – not just another meal! Nothing is better than Great Food, Music, and Friends; WE BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND ALL 3 HERE!
Don & Barb Baker take great pride in their Established Restaurant which was built and opened in October 2006.If you have ever met Don Baker, you have realized the uniqueness of his personality and his fondness for having a great time and enjoying life. Through his years of experience within the restaurant industry, he has finally figured out what people want; A Dining Experience that is more than just great food! They want an extraordinary experience that leaves them laughing among new and old friends & smiling from the tastes of great food.
In 2008, Barb was brought on board as a General Manager for front of the house, booking live entertainment, and tackling anything that needed to be addressed or altered. If you have ever met Barb, you know her drive, determination, and attention to detail! Barb helped take Donatelli’s to another level. In 2011, Don and Barb were married and the ownership became a partnership! Together they have poured their hearts and knowledge into the business and expanded by adding additional Rooms for Special Events or Private Parties, as well as an option for Outdoor Patio Dining. With the growing community and growing business, their vision has become a success for all to enjoy!
