Dario's Ristorante in Doncaster

We celebrated our 9th Anniversary at Dario's last night and I couldn't think of a better restaurant to eat at. The staff are all friendly and the food is of a high standard.

This is a fabulous Italian Restaurant and very much what the area needs, extremely friendly and attentive staff, but most importantly fabulous food. A great Italian Menu, good portions and extremely reasonably priced. Would 100% recommend!

We had a Superb dining experience last night at Darios Ristorante for my Birthday. We all chose different dishes as you can see from the photos attached. Each dish showing attention to detail with the rich flavours and the beautiful presentation on the plate. Also the service was excellent, with polite and professional staff who were attentive throughout the meal. I was also given a "Happy Birthday" dessert which was a wonderful surprise! I had pre booked the meal through Darios website which was easy to do and I could include the request of a high chair, which was already seated at the table when we arrived. The children's menu provided had a great selection of healthy and authentic Italian food, not just the usual offer of "chicken nuggets and chips" that you find at almost all resteraunts these days. I would highly recommend Darios Ristorante if you are looking for an evening meal with the WOW factor, especially for a special occasion or family gathering.

The new restaurant is lovely decorated with beautiful outside benches. However upon arrival we were stood waiting for a table for about 5 minutes even though the restaurant was pretty empty. When seated we are normally greeted with a jug of water (which we were) however we used to be greeted with some bread and dipping oil but this treat seems to have been taken away which is a shame. We were then waiting to order our food for about half an hour and ended up having to ask for someone to come over and take our order. When drinks were bought out only one arrived we waited about another 5 minutes for the other drink and finally asked if there was another drink on their way out and was replied with “it will be” and the staff member just turned away. We waited for about 40 minutes for our meals to come out even though the restaurant was pretty empty. The food was standard but everyone’s opinions are different and some people might find it really nice, I just found that it tasted really basic. We also had ordered a kids meal for my 14 month old and it was placed on the table with no warning that it was boiling hot. I really don’t like to leave bad reviews cause it is a lovely restaurant but this was the worst experience I’ve had here. However the new decorations and new menu are beautiful, just probably won’t be eating here again.

This was our first visit since it reopened. The food was very good but slightly slow service although the waiter was very pleasant. The one thing that stopped us giving a higher rating was that they allow dogs in. We were half way through our meal when a couple came to the next table with a dog ( albeit quite well behaved) it made me quite uncomfortable though and I would not expect dogs in a restaurant like this. Shame.

My wife and I came for dinner midweek. I would have offered this a 5-star review because most of our visit was very nice. Polite and attentive staff, offer jug of water on arrival whilst waiting for our drinks and starters etc. However the Tuscan Chicken meal received by my wife appeared... old. Didnt seem fresh at all. The chicken was extremely tough and dry. The potatoes were also significantly overcooked and didnt seem fresh (they had that taste about them), almost as if the component parts had been cooked hours earlier during the lunch service and simply reheated and given a layer of sauce. With regrets we are very much in to 'first impressions' so its unlikely we'll be returning or recommending to others.

The service was friendly and helpful. Understanding about food allergies and being helpful with which dishes could have with a wheat intolerance.

Family do, firstly the food was fantastic, quality and quantity very good. Our only gripe was the staff seemed a bit dizzy, like they'd just been set on....and only seemed interested in taking drinks orders. It was 90 mins after arrival before any food came to table and it wasn't that busy.
