Roberto Donna was born in Turin, Italy, where he enrolled in culinary school at the age of 13. He came to the United States at the age of 19, working in an Italian restaurant on K Street in Washington, D.C.

In 1984, Donna opened ’Galileo’ in Dupont Circle, which was an immediate success. The restaurant only seated 50, and in the early days, even Vice-President George H. W. Bush could not secure a last-minute reservation.

Donna and his partner Savino Recine opened more casual trattorias among which ’Primi Piatti’, and ’I Matti’, serving pizza and pasta.

Donna published a cookbook "Cooking in Piedmont" in 1996. He won the 1996 James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic. The next year, Galileo was named one of the "10 Best Italian Restaurants in America" by Wine Spectator.

The Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington recognized Donna as the "Chef of the Year" in 1990, and the "Restaurateur of the Year" in 1995. Donna was invited to Rome in 1996 to receive the Insegna del Ristorante Italiano, awarded by the Italian Government in recognition of serving the best authentic Italian food outside Italy.

In February, 2022,’ Roberto’s Ristorante’ opened in Vienna, Virginia, with Donna as chef.
