two glasses of drink on a table
Louise F.

I'm updating my review because lunch today was absolutely spot on! We sat on the outdoor patio, which was comfortable and relaxing, and even scored a parking spot right in front of the restaurant--perfect start. The frozen mango piña colada was both delicious and strong, just the way I like it. We shared the coconut shrimp, which were fried to perfection--crispy on the outside and paired with a tasty chipotle mayo. For my main, I ordered the bento box (they offer three versions). I went with the one that included sliced skirt steak mofongo, shrimp mofongo, a dragon roll, and a tropical salad. The mofongo is hearty, so I took half home, but it was full of flavor. The skirt steak was incredibly tender, practically melting in my mouth, with a rich and flavorful sauce. Overall, a fantastic lunch experience--I'll definitely be back!

Food - The ropa vieja lacked flavor and had minimal seasoning. The bistec encebollado was good. The Mofongo was a mixture of plantain and plátano maduro, which was a perfect blend of savory and sweet, the shrimp added a great taste! Drinks - we did not enjoy our drinks. My lychee martini tasted like it was processed. my husband's gin and tonic tasted like soda instead of tonic water. Ambience/Appearance: truly beautiful and a lot of opportunities to take photos! The bathroom was clean and the service was great.

Birria Roll
Adrian P.

Finally got to try his spot and was very impressed. This spot is a blend of many cusines such as Dominican, Asian , Mexican and Puerto Rican. The food and drinks were amazing. We tried the birria rolls which by far were the best! Also tried steak and avocado roll and lobster trifongo which were excellent. Drinks were also good and with a nice kick to them. The place itself is really nice and decorative. The outdoor space is nice and relaxing. Staff friendly and attentive. Will be coming back!

Happy Hours: Guacamole and Totopos, Chicharrónde Pollo
Gladys E.

Appetizers and drinks were good. Main dish (Mofongo/Pernil) was not tasty as expected. Pernil was dry and usually a mofongo is served with a garlic sauce and this dish had a gravy that I personally didn't enjoy. There was not clear information among the servers about the happy hours option and apparently it's only served in the bar area.

Watermelon margaritas
Tracy G.

We had the best time at donjito. Friendly staff, place was super clean and the food and drinks were awesome! I had the Latin sushi ...the steak and avocado roll (it had a nice kick to it!) The watermelon marg was DELISH! Perfectly made. Patio was gorgeous! Will def be back!

This was my first time here. We were seated right away. Some of our guests arrived early. The restaurant is on the smaller side. When you walk into the right, they have a bar area and the left is all the seating and dining. When we arrived for our reservation, our waiter greeted us at the table. He took our order of drinks. It took about 20 minutes for the drinks to arrive was not very happy with the delay in service. Shortly there after our appetizers arrived. Our apps were really good. The Asian ribs were disappointing. However, the dumplings were excellent. For dinner we had the bistec encebollado, churrasco mofongo, and the spicy avocado sushi roll. Dinner was great. For dessert we had the Tres leches and the chocolate Tres leches, which was delicious. We originally had asked our waiter for two separate checks which he had agreed to. When it came time to get our check, he dropped off one check. It was a bit of an issue to get the breakdown into two separate checks and to find our waiter. We ended up speaking with the owner who helped us and also extended us a discount for the error. I will definitely have to consider coming back. The food was good so I may opt for takeout versus dine in.

7oz lobster tail with papas bravos and shrimp. And monfongo with steak
Ashley L.

Came here for dinner after work on a Friday night with one of my girls. Had high expectations because when I came here last year I loved it but haven't been back since. We had dinner and drinks and everything was perfection. The drinks and the food were to die for. Decor is beautiful. Staff is amazing!!

Lobster Stir Fry

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Don Jito's last night, and the entire experience was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment we walked in, the ambience was warm and inviting great vibes, outdoor patio seating, and even a couple of social-media-worthy photo ops that made the night even more memorable. We started with the Brussels sprouts, which were hands down the best I've ever had perfectly crisp on the outside and glazed in a sweet chili sauce that hit every note. I also had the mussels in blanco sauce, and the broth was packed with deep, rich flavor absolutely top tier. For dinner, I went with the Lobster Stir Fry, which was not only visually stunning but layered with flavor in every bite. My wife had the Honey Glazed Salmon, and it was equally impressive a beautiful crunch on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor. We also tried both the Red and White Sangria refreshing, well-balanced, and delicious. Our server, Edgar, was fantastic attentive and personable. And when John (the owner) found out it was our anniversary, he surprised us with a complimentary dessert. That level of service and hospitality goes a long way. I will have to come back to add photos of the food, it was so good we got right to eating lol Don Jito's hit every mark food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommend for a date night or special occasion. We'll definitely be back.

Celebrating 2 Birthday days

Bruno and the staff went above and beyond for our celebration. The food for delicious.

Tres golpes roll

We had a party of 11 on a Saturday night that we were able to make reservations for the week before. We were sat promptly and everyone was very friendly and professional. The latin sushi was sooo good, I had the tres golpes roll and someone else had the surf and turf roll and the king of Mamaroneck roll which all were very good. I took off a star because there were a couple of hiccups like adding salt to margarita when asked not to and also not getting an appetizer and then getting double of another. However no big deal it was a big party and a lot of orders. Otherwise everything was great and decently priced. We def want to go again and try other items.

See all

We met a friend for an early dinner before returning to NYC…read more The dining room had a welcoming fireplace since we dared go out to dinner on the coldest day of the 2026 season. Shared three appetizers: grilled octopus, Puntarelle salad and the mussels in a smoked tomato sauce. Everything was delicious but the mussels were superb. The entrees we tried were the gemelli, gnocchi with lamb neck and the paperdelle with duck ragu. These were also well prepared and tasty. We enjoyed a bottle of Oddero Nebiolo which enhanced every bite.

Called on a Saturday for a reservation for one while my teen attended a ugly Xmas sweater party…read morenearby. Got a reservation and offer to eat at the bar if I arrived early. I arrived 30 minutes early and was seated at a table promptly. I stared with the mussels and I am so glad I did. The presentation was superb. When the cover was lifted, the most aromatic smell of smoke and tarragon ignited my senses. The mussels were cleansed well and some were very large. The toasted sesame bread was perfect for the delicious garlic / tomatoe sauce it was paid with a white that was crisp and light and perfect for the dish. If that wasn't enough, the pour was very generous. I moved to the gnocchi with ox tail. There were large pieces of meat which complimented the soft gnocchi well. It was paired with a different wine. That wine was good on its own but better with the meal. I ended up taking most of the dish home. I ended with a chocolate chip and one pistachio cannolli. They were freshly stuffed so the shell was crisp. Delicious!

We did not have reservations, and it was a Saturday. The Host told us if we were OK with eating at…read morethe bar, they could accommodate us, so we said yes. He told us we should call a week in advance next time. The bar was fun, and the bartender did a good job of taking care of us. The host stopped by to make sure everything was going well. The ambiance is sophisticated, relaxing and exotic. While the place was full, it did not seem loud or chaotic. Sitting at the bar we saw the bartender make all kinds of curious drinks The food was magnificent. We started with Chemmen Olathiathu, described as "Syrian Christian classic shrimp stir fry". It was a little on the spicy side, but quite lovely. The main dishes we had were Goan Seafood Curry and Shrimp Biriyani, and both were flavorful and delicious. The portions were big, and we ended up taking some home. For dessert we had the avocado chocolate mouse, which was not too sweet, light way to end the meal. We have to plan, and make a reservation next time, but we will be back.

I made reservations for Wednesday night, we were seated promptly and from the decor and fun vibe we knew this was like no other Indian restaurant we've been to! The server was prompt and helpful, the food was so yummy and fragrant. We ordered an appetizer and three entrees and one was better than the next! I'm looking forward to returning so I can try 3 more dishes!!

My friend and I celebrated our birthday here when they were having a special weekday event…read more This place is cozy and upscale. The dim lights, seating, and open kitchen also give a rustic feel. We walked in and were handed champagne; now that's how you say hello! We had a lovely dinner with wine pairings. The food was delicious, the wines were excellent, and we had such a great time!! The proof is in my blurry photos! Service was excellent. The staff is professional and courteous. I ended up buying several bottles of wine from the shop next door who carried the featured wines for the event. I will definitely come back for another event.

I was disappointed all around with this place. I truly hate giving local businesses and restaurants…read morebad reviews but at the end of the day we go out of our way and spend money at these joints expecting a certain standard. I was excited for farm to table in westchester because there aren't great options as of now but this is really missing the mark... the food is extremely flavorless to the point that discerning the short rib from the duck breast is difficult.... None of the protein is cooked properly it all came out super chewy. The apps were nothing special and the dessert (doughnuts) were notably bad, they were burnt? And also had no flavor. Not to mention the plates were dirty and the waitress was quite abrasive. If you simple want calories in I suppose this place is fine but if you are looking for a solid dining experience I would not come here. Definitely not returning.
