Doni Italian Restaurant

My wife and I tried a new to us venue for lunch today.. And now we're mad at ourselves for not discovering this goodness sooner..

Doni is a nicely appointed Italian eatery on 36th Ave NW in Norman between Rock Creek and Tecumseh, and we had a fabulous dining experience..

She sampled their baked ziti, and I had the Fettuccine alfredo with grilled chicken.. Both entrées included a house salad and fresh rolls..

The salads arrived cold and crisp and were topped with their house Italian dressing.. The dressing was a delightful departure from most store-bought Italian variants and had a wonderful flavor..

The bread was delivered hot and fresh, had a wonderful array of seasonings and a touch of parmesan cheese spread on top, and was deelish!!

The ziti arrived piping hot, and the marinara mixed with ricotta cheese blended together to create a decadent sauce and flavor unlike any ziti we've had at other venues..

The Fettuccine alfredo had a creamy sauce, an ample portion of flavorful grilled chicken, and was nicely seasoned.. It, like everything else we tried, was a resounding hit..

On top of the excellent eats, our service was fantastic.. We were well taken care of for the duration of our stay and the interior of the restaurant was inviting and well appointed..

There were several other menu items that piqued our interested and we're already looking forward to our next visit.. A strong 10 out of 10 for anyone wanting a delightful Italian meal!!

We had a wonderful time tonight at DONI! Everything we ordered was so tasty, and we look forward to coming back!

We had fried calamari, stuffed mushrooms, pasta sampler (eggplant, lasagna, manicotti), shrimp and clams, and tiramisu. 10/10 would recommend!

Good food with a comfortable environment. Friendly wait staff and surprisingly quick kitchen service. I'd come here over the chain stores like OG and JC. Will definitely come back again!

Update: I've been back twice now (takeout and in-store). This is definitely good eats, and I've upgraded my rating to 5 of 5. I agree that their tiramisu is arguably the best in town!

Great food, with wonderful service. The atmosphere was very inviting, and family friendly.

The food here was fantastic! We accidentally found this restaurant while driving to a different restaurant and decided to give it a try. The staff was extremely friendly and very prompt. Would definitely recommend this place. Go give it a try!
