"Donna’s has plenty of cocktail specials during its 4 to 6 p.m. happy hour — including $7 espresso martini shots — but the real draw is the $10 pasta, which in case you missed the memo is really good pasta made by chef Peaches, formerly of the legendary Vito’s. If you’re more of a night person, there’s also a happy hour that runs from 10 p.m. to midnight Thursday through Saturday." - Harry Cheadle
"This cocktail bar from the owners of Rose Temple runs a late night happy hour from 10 p.m. to midnight that includes mac and cheese balls, a Caesar salad topped with chili lime wonton chips, and $10 pastas. Keep the party going until 2 a.m. every night. That’s all worth staying up for." - Eater Staff
"Donna’s is one of Seattle’s newer bars, but the crew here slings hearty old-school pasta dishes like they’ve been doing it forever. That’s because the kitchen is helmed by Chef Peaches, formerly of venerable Seattle Italian institution Vito’s. The fettuccine here is a surprising standout, with a cream sauce brightened by lemon, white wine, and thyme for an appealing balance that’s miles from the stodgy fettuccine alfredo stereotype. And the simple spaghetti marinara might be the only rendition in town that can tide over an East Coast transplant til their next visit back home. With all their pastas coming in at under $15, Donna’s pays homage to pasta’s origin story: an understated but carefully made egalitarian and delicious food for the people." - Eater Staff, Mark DeJoy
"When: Daily, 4-6pm The Deal: $9 Cocktails, $7 Espresso Martini Shot, $6 Martini Shot, $7 Wine, $5 Draft Beer, $8 Slushies, $10 Pasta, Discounted Snacks This playful Italian bar is perfect for hanging out all night long—grab some $10 bolognese and a martini shot underneath a golden spinning disco ball. If you'd rather swing by for a late-night snack, you also have the opportunity for a second food-focused Happy Hour from 10pm to midnight, on Thursdays through Saturdays." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
"Bar shmar we’re gonna treat Donna’s like a pasta restaurant. After all, it has chef Peaches (of the infamous Italian-American nightspot Vito’s), and it has dishes like creste di gallo with romesco and delectable little bits of sausage. Best of all, from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday to Saturday all pasta is only $10... and if you’re more of a night person it’s $10 from 10 p.m. to midnight Thursday through Saturday." - Naomi Tomky, Harry Cheadle, Eater Staff
