Donna Bionda

The girl with glasses and girl with curly hair were nice and the service was excellent.The food was delicious with lots of flavour, and the dessert was to die for!

A wonderful accidental discovery!

We ended up wandering through City Lane when our plans were upended. We picked Donna Bionda, and I'm so glad we did. The staff were beyond helpful, including squeezing us in without a booking.

The food was amazing. Each dish was close to perfect. The chefs know their Italian food! We sat near the pizza oven, which meant we got dinner and a show. The arancini were the best I've had in Townsville. The pizza base was perfectly charred, and the bolognese was spot on. The tiramisu was great, not too sweet, but not bitter either. The only downside was that the tomatoes on the bruschetta weren't overly ripe. A great date night spot. We will be back.

Highly recommended, had the best pasta in Townsville. Excellent atmosphere, delicious food, staff were friendly & knowledgeable. They have GF option for pasta and GF pizzas. Tiramisu was a desert to die for. Shout out to Leah - she was very knowledgeable of the menu and provided excellent service. She deserves a raise and a big pat on the back.

Nothing better than a well made proper Napoli pizza. Just ordered a pizza with artichokes and onion. Perfect chewy and light crust and just the right cover of topping. Also very nice mixed greens with almonds.

If I could give it 10 stars I would, food was fantastic, staff are great & the place looks cool too! 1000% recommend!! Note: lighting is pretty ambient so the photo doesn’t do any justice to how good it was 😋 Also ate pizza but I forgot to take a photo 🫡

The food is amazing, the variety of pizzas is great. The pastas are so tasty and filling, As well as the great cocktail menu.
Come here often for lunch during the work week and always leave feeling satisfied!!

Was super delicious! Visiting Townsville for the weekend and stumbled upon this restaurant by chance. Located in a lovely alleyway with other eateries/ bars and great vibes. Staff were pleasant and accommodating, price point was fair and they had some lunch specials too - pasta for $15; can’t ask for much better than that!
We had the squid ink pasta special and the pumpkin and sage ravioli and both were delicious. Highly recommend!

Donna Bionda is the gem of City Lane. Fast service, friendly staff, clean and comfortable atmosphere. Food was delicious, highly recommend the ravioli! The set up confused me a little bit as there are two seating rooms with the kitchen in the middle and I sat in the smaller left hand room. Look forward to going back to try more dishes off the menu!

Delicious authentic italian. The home made seafood pasta was delicious. We went for entre sizes, to go with having the arancini balls, and the roasted ricotta as starters. Very tasty.
We started our meal at 6pm on a Friday, which was quite quiet. It was getting quite busy by 7pm when we were leaving.
I recommend this one.

We dined mid week. Italian food from. Young Italian Chef was very good, Buono.
The staff were excellent as we arrived late for the booking and had no trouble accommodating us.
The menu was in the process of being changed, so we were able to try samples of new entrees and mains from the Chef. Lucky us..
All of this with a fine wine selection from a knowledgeable French manager, Leah.
Thank you.

The best pasta and pizza in Townsville, having tried many authentic Italian restaurants, I think you can’t go wrong with Donna Bionda’s Italian food. Do yourself a favour and order the Nutella calzone.

Went after the cowboys game and they were very busy but staff were very friendly and helpful. Ordered pasta and wine. Food was very tasty

Delicious Italian food. We stopped for lunch, I had the calzone special, the dough was thin and crispy and amazing🤤. The calamari was equally as good. The only downside was the time it took for the meals to arrive. Well worth the wait and highly recommended.

Finally, had some excellent Italian pizza; the best I've had since I moved from Europe

I’m surprised that it has such a low rating.

When I made the booking, I choose the Anniversary box as we were celebrating and when we sat down they gave us 2 complimentary champagne glasses which was delicious. The atmosphere was amazing, the waitstaff was kinda and funny. The food was super quick and overall made our night.

Yum! Still dreaming about those risottos! The squid was the best we’ve ever had too.

Excellent pizzas! There are vegetarian options and they are delicious ♥

Both Pizzas and pastas are epic! Can’t go wrong. Lunch specials are always great, the atmosphere is relaxed and the staff friendly. Great spot for a bite to eat and a bottle of wine between friends on a slow Townsville afternoon. This is truely a little gem in Townsville — keep it a little bit secret for me would you??

The lady with curly brown hair serving at 745 on Thursday was absolutely beautiful! Her service was immaculate she was so so friendly and accommodating. She even went to the effort to make us surprise drinks that were beautiful. She deserves a raise!

Beautiful pizza Bianca and the best Shiraz. Langmeil by the glass to accompany it. We started with lovely plump green pitted olives in oil. They offer coffee/rum combinations and wonderful sounding cocktails! We’ve returned after three years and the place eve. Better than last visit.
