Campania is known worldwide for its expressive whites like Falanghina, Fiano and Greco and of course it’s stately noble reds from Casavecchia, Palagrello Nero and most notably Aglianico grapes.
Join us and tour Campania together with Massimo Alois from Alois winery and also explore his most recent and exciting project: Donna Paolina winery.
Don't miss this opportunity to try the remarkable whites from Campania plus more exotic reds made from Casavecchia and Palagrello Nero, culminating with an extraordinary Taurasi.
Accompanying this fabulous lineup, Donato has crafted a thoughtful menu that captures the essence of the cuisine of Campania.

It is no secret that we are one of Giacomo Fenocchio's biggest fans.
Five generations of Fenocchios’ have been producing wine from their land in Monforte d’Alba since 1894. Claudio is a master at crafting classic Baroli that express the true essence of the Nebbiolo grape.
Join us and Alice Pressenda, Claudio's niece, this upcoming Wednesday and taste some of the best cru Baroli out there including the sought after Bussia and Villero cru's
And what better way to showcase Fenocchios wines than to pair them with Donato's exquisite Piemontese cuisine.

We couldn't think of a better way to restart our Winemaker Dinners at Donato Enoteca than by having our dear friend Mario Roagna's winery, Cascina Val del Prete, with us this upcoming April 5th, 2022.
We will have none other than Mario's son, Giovanni Roagna, join us for a tantalizing evening tasting and learning about the Roero appellation, all accompanied by a sumptuous menu by Donato Scotti that captures the essence of Piemonte.
"The Roero, often dwarfed by its more famous neighbors Barolo and Barbaresco, is an Italian wine region that every Italian and Nebbiolo wine lover should know."
It is there, in the Roero, that Cascina Val Del Prete has been a leading grower since 1977, recognized for a commitment to natural farming and for traditional work in the cellar, utilizing techniques such as long maceration. This type of farming and cellar work requires incredible commitment, but the resulting wines achieve another level of detail and age-worthiness that is quite simply lost or minimized with more modern techniques that tend to rush processes along.
Menu della notte di Capodanno - New Year Eve
For the safety of our guests and our staff, we have decided that our hours of operation for this year's new year's celebration will end at 10:00 PM. Starting from 5:00 PM
Reservation are strongly recommended.
We look forward to celebrate with you!
Buon anno!

Fontodi Wine Dinner
Wednesday, March 4th
The Fontodi winery is nestled in the “golden basin” known as Conca d’Ora, south of Panzano in Chianti Classico. The Manetti family, owners of Fontodi, crafts some of the most sublime Sangiovese ever made.
Regarded by many as a "Champion of Sangiovese", the Fontodi estate has been the most prominent Sangiovese producer in the region. Their pursuit for a perfect expression of Sangiovese brought them to create their most renowned wine, Flaccianello delle Pieve.
We are truly honored of welcoming none other than Fontodi’s Federico Manetti who will share his passion and, among other wines, several vintages of their flagship wine Flaccianello with us.
To accompany this unique occasion Donato and GIanluca will pair Fontodi's extraordinary wines with a multicourse Tuscan feast.

Join us for a singular evening with the wines of Paolo Scavino paired with a Piemontese tasting menu Donato & Gianluca are putting together to complement the wines.
Nestled in the heart of Castiglione Falletto, Paolo Scavino is one of the most historical wineries in Barolo. Founded in 1921 by Paolo Scavino, and now with Elisa Scavino at the helm, the family consistently produces some of the most memorable Piemontese wines today. It is difficult to think of a better exposure to intelligent, sophisticated Barolo than these.
Joining us at this magnificent dinner we welcome Italian wine specialist Chris Miller who will be representing the Paolo Scavino Estate.
Amongst others, Chris will be pouring the coveted Bric del Fiasc cru Barolo including an older vintage.
