Had a great meal here. The pizza, tortalini, seafood luingini and canoloni for dessert.
Yummy I would definitely recommend and will be going back for sure

Great service. Quiet environment to enjoy company and meal. Lovely food. Fantastic artwork! They care about what they do and proud of making customers happy!

If you're looking for the best pasta you'll get outside of Italy, then you've come to the right place. Donnini's is a Melbourne institution and there's a reason they have been around for so long - consistently great food. Fresh pasta at its absolute best.

Lovely authentic Italian restaurant in the heart of Lygon St. The staff are always lovely. The food is fresh and full of flavour, the tiramisu is a must it's delicious!!!

A really nice italian restaurant, that offers simple and hearty, yet classy and elegant pizza/pasta. The pasta in particular is divine. You can tell that it is made freshly inhouse with good ingredients and a lot of care, because it is silky and carries a nice flavour with a hint of richness from egg yolks.
Such lovely pasta is served filled with clever fillings and simple sauces. Ie. Ravioli Con Salmone E Burrata (salmon, burrata and smoked ricotta ravioli, with asparagus spears & a light dill butter sauce).

Thumbs up for the freshness and the superb taste of the pastas. I am not a great pasta lover but I just fell in love with the pastas here at Donnini's . The service was prompt and staff , friendly and attentive. Will recommend this place to my all my friends and family.

Approximate cost: $25

To die for pasta that tastes similar to my mother in-laws (who was born in Italy and sure knows ow to cook Ialian cuisine.) I love the freshness and the fact that most things are homemade.

Donninis is yet another Italian Restaurant on Lygon street, but it manages to stand out from the crowd. A few doors down is a store also called Donninis where you can buy fresh pasta, which is owned by the same people, and that is where their point of difference lies-in the quality of the pasta. It is melt in the mouth, as fresh pasta should be, and the sauces are also of excellent quality. They also have a wood fired oven and produce delicious wood fired breads. The ambiance is also not your traditional Lygon street Italian, they have gone for more contemporary look with open spaces and skylights. The service however feels authentically Lygon st Italian, and is friendly and attentive. Reflecting the more upmarket approach are more upmarket prices. Don't expect to have a $10 bowl of spag bog here-but if that's what you are after, there are plenty of other places nearby that can oblige!
