Benvenuto to Donato Enoteca! While you make a thorough investigation of the menu, order a glass of barolo and the housemade salumi charcuterie board, rows of thinly sliced meat in appetizing rows of pink and red. From there, we recommend heading straight to the fresh, handmade pasta. Whether you opt for the bigoli e coda (braised oxtail with thick comforting noodles) or agnolotti del plin (small ravioli stuffed with sausage, veal and rabbit in a red sauce), you’re in for a treat. For a taste of Chef Donato’s hometown in northern Italy, order the ravioli bergamaschi with wild greens, sunchokes and brown butter. And don’t disregard the wood-fired pizzas! 1041 Middlefield Road. Closed Mondays.
