Testimonials

  • Absolutely loved it. The vegan dishes were excellent and the prices were amazingly reasonable. Do yourself a favor and pop in for a meatless meal. You’ll love it.

    Adam

  • Exceptional 100% vegan Italian restaurant where their bread and pasta are the stars. Everything is made in house and with quality ingredients. We went on a Saturday and it was our first time there. It was SO good that we returned the next day to try other menu items. There wasn't one dish that we didn't love. Oh and their pizza was to die for. Highly recommend.

    Chad

  • Great food! Great staff! Absolutely love this place!!! Try to come here a few times a month. They do a great job of taking Italian inspired dishes and making them not only vegan but taste great!

    Milena

  • SO GOOD! We got a pizza and salad and they were so thoughtfully crafted, and the pizza was even still good leftover. I also really love the atmosphere and set up of the restaurant, especially all the plants on the walls. I feel like most Vegan places lack ambience, so it's always refreshing to find a place that is decently priced that feels nice to be in.

    Terra

  • It was a great dinner. The waitress was the best, giving us suggestions about the food. I ordered the Widow Pizza and it was super delicious, it's between sweet and sour but spicy, but the flavor was perfect. I definitely recommend Donna Jean, its the best vegan restaurant.

    - Monica

  • This is the fourth time I’ve invited non-vegan friends to Donna Jean for dinner and it never disappoints! The food is delicious and the service is friendly and inviting. Thank you SO much for being such a Shining Star in the San Diego community!

    Lynn

  • Thank you for the stellar service and accommodating our party. The food was delicious, our server was fun and attentive, and we all had a wonderful time. This was our first time at the new location and we’re big supporters of the hillcrest/bankers hill location. Happy to see nothing has changed about the delicious food and the atmosphere.
