The Don's place

A restaurant with Italian roots,
Dundee attitude.

Don Padrino brings together Italian cooking, serious steak, fresh seafood and the best kind of night out in the heart of Dundee.

Fresh pasta sits beside premium beef and seafood from the East Coast, while the bar keeps the table moving with cocktails, wine and a little theatre.

Come hungry, order properly and stay longer than planned. The Don prefers it that way.

The Don likes a full table and an empty plate.
Sourcing & kitchen

What matters to the Don
gets bought properly.

Italian cooking is at the heart of Don Padrino, but Scotland is never far from the plate. We work with suppliers close to home for the ingredients that matter most.

01

Fresh pasta your nonna will be proud of

Fresh pasta, rich sauces and proper Italian comfort. The sort of plate that needs bread nearby because leaving sauce behind would be criminal.

Premium beef, generous plates, proper sides and a little showmanship. This is the Don Padrino side of the menu that people remember, and then photograph before they attack it.

Fresh pasta & plates

Italian comfort, Dundee appetite.

Fresh pasta and richer dishes for the tables that want comfort as much as theatre.

One more round?

The cocktail side of the Don is bright, polished and a little dangerous for early starts tomorrow.
