Individual ratings for Chez Donati
On the edge of the historic town centre, right by the Johanniter Bridge across the Rhine.
A museum-like ambience: Pieces of art on the walls, heavy chandeliers and classic if dated furnishings create a harmonious atmosphere, and represent the very spirit of "Chez Donati." Time seems to have come to a standstill here.
The restaurant extends across two rooms. In the summertime, tables are also set out on the little patio above the Rhine.
Traditional, down-to-earth Italian cuisines, and especially the dishes on the "carello" are a sure bet – and have been for more than 50 years.
Small wine list, the focus being on Italian specialities.
In keeping with the ambience, lovingly cared for by grizzled staff.

On Fridays, Donati's serves the finest Bouillabaisse in town, and has done so – needless to say – for the past 50 years.
If you did not already know, opening the wine list will tell you that "Chez Donati" is associated with the grand hotel "Les Trois Rois." The wine prices are sky-high, and appear to have been multiplied by the factor of four.
