Donato's — Restaurant in Jeju

We thought it was funny because donatos is a pizza chain in Ohio, but this was not part of the chain. At first, it was a bit weird, because the owner came out and told us it was reservations only...never heard of a pizza place that was reservations only...but they said they had seats so we were seating in a minute after waiting outside. Idk the whole experience was a little weird, but we gave it a shot. Weird instructions in the menu saying how they won't give you recommendations on what pizza to get, and some other weird things. But we went for the 2 specials with the stars on it.

The pizzas...well they were really good! Great sauce and flavors! Soft bread and good amount of toppings. We finished both pies, and wanted more. We were able to buy some mozzarella cheese from them, and it was from Italy, comes frozen and imported. That does show that they care about their ingredients and it shows in the pizzas

Overall, weird experience at the start, but they ended up being nice. I would recommend making a reservation, and just look past some weirdness because the pizza, which is what really counts, was really good! A bit expensive compared to the other foods here, but...

They yell at the customers entering their restaurant.

This place is owned and managed by a couple it seems. They are extremely rude and unkind to customers. I went to this place today with my family. I stopped the car in front of the restaurant and it took some time for my kids to actually get off the car. I turned on the emergency lights to show that I'm not parking there and it's only momentary. The male owner came out and yelled at me not to part there. He didn't even look at me. He yelled at the other car with customer behind me and went inside.

I parked my car at a parking space and asked them whey he yelled at me. The owner guy kept saying that he didn't do anything wrong. He just didn't understand or admit it. The place looked fine but we didn't eat there. I wouldn't recommend anyone going there - they yell at the customers entering their restaurant. What can you expect from people like them?

I didn't eat there so I don't have a receipt but I got their name card....

We came on a Monday to try the food here. It was closed, we got confused, but later found out the opening days on google qas not accurate. We made it a point to return again, made a booking,and we drove 2 hours just to get here to try this pizzeria.

We had a memorable experience dining here. Food was authentic, service was sincere and ambiance reminded us of italy.

The wine came from good regions, the ingredients were properly choosen and how the meals were explained was highly appreciated. The fact that the owner can converse simple italian cured our homesickeness of Italy.

Talking with the owner and wife, it was proven they knew the hidden treasures of Italy well.

At the end of the meal, we ordered espresso and were happy that the correct brand of coffee beans, correct grind and correct method of making resulted in an espresso that cured homesickness.

If there was a reason to come back to Jeju,it will be to visit our new friends who runs this...
