A great neighborhood find
La Cucina Di Donatella is a great, intimate place for a night out in Rogers Park. All of the food is homemade and it's all delicious. There's always a wide variety of specials and Donatella is always there to check on you and make sure you're enjoying your meal.

They will not give you butter for your bread! Even if you BEG!
I went there and asked for some butter for my bread and was rudely refused and told they do not use butter for a garnish. I thought a garnish was to make the plate look pretty. My friend asked for cheese for her olive oil and they refused to give her that as well. I feel if a restaurant is going to charge premium prices they need to get a grip here and give the customers what they ask for I am sure if I go to any other Italian restaurant in my neigborhood I can get some butter for the bread with no problem. We were told that is not how it is done in Italy well we are in America here and we like bread and butter. I will NEVER return to this establishment! I felt the way we were treated was uncalled for and absurd. Also we were seated next to a table that was so loud we heard their entire conversation IE. dirty laundry and all. That made us feel very uncomfortable as well.

Great, authentic Italian experience
This place feels like one of those quaint little restaurants in Rome -- lots of Roman pictures from Italian films on the walls, a whiteboard of today's specials on the walls, and as much as possible in Italian, not English. If you want to get a bit more authentic than your typical Italian American fare then this is the place for you. I especially like the olive oil and vinegar with the fresh bread -- excellent touch!

OMG - Simply the best Italian outside of Italy!!!!!
This is by far, the most outstanding Italian food I have ever had. Cute, quaint, romantic and the food - well the food is unparalleled. Donatella herself will great you and relay the day's specials. Everything we had made us roll our eyes in ecstasy. Highly recommended. BYOB.
