Donna Margherita 8.4

Donna Margherita is a compact Upper East Side trattoria and wine bar where Neapolitan-style pizzas, pastas, and comfort dishes come out of a brick oven in a mural-lined dining room. The kitchen leans traditional, with spaghetti meatballs, linguine alle vongole, and melanzane alla parmigiana sharing space with signature pies like the Donna Margherita. Warm hospitality from a Naples-rooted team makes it feel more like a neighborhood living room than a formal restaurant.
