Fodor's Expert Review Chez Donati
This much-loved establishment has been serving up a selection of the finest Piedmont cuisine for more than 70 years and is well-known for its antipasti and wonderfully decadent desserts. Don't come here for modern Italian food—the menu is quite traditional, with a fine selection of classic pasta, fish, and meat dishes. The elegant atmosphere is quite traditional, too, though has been gently refreshed by the new owners in 2020. Dine while enjoying the view of the Rhine from your white-draped table. Riverside terrace seating is available.
