I rarely, okay perhaps never, have written a review of a restuarant on Yelp. This may be my first, but I had to give my highest praise to one of the best waitresses I have encountered in all my travels around the world. Carina! As a solo diner this evening, I had ample opportunity watch Carina as she calmly and efficiently worked a busy restaurant. To give you a sense of her expertise, as a new table was seated, Carina would greet the new guests with smiles as if she were inviting them to her home. When describing the specials of the day, she did so with such finess using appetizing descriptions, hand gestures and eye contact that rendered the menu superfluous. Even though she was addressing a table of people, her engaging manner felt as if she was talking just to you. It's very clear that Carina takes a personal interest in ensuring the experience at Donatello is a good as it can be.
This evening was a great success becuase of the eggplant appetizer special - which was superb - but primarily because of Carina and her welcoming manner. Thank you for a very nice experience.
