Really fantastic meal at this Italian restaurant whilst visiting family. Food was fresh and delicious, with the pizza oven being worked by a dedicated chef who, you could see, was making each pizza by hand. Every dish was great, with the service and friendliness of staff rounding off a great evening. With very reasonable pricing (especially for the quality) of about 22 per person (drink, main, and dessert), I will definitely be visiting again! Would recommend!

Had a lovely meal tonight and was looked after by Harriet, she was extremely accommodating. The food was fabulous we had mussels and garlic bread for starters and risotto and spicy rigatoni with a child’s portion of macaroni for Max, along with a double portion of chocolate ice cream. Very good value for money.

The restaurant was recommended to us by a friend, and it was our first visit. We ordered a variety of pasta dishes, pizza, and desserts, all of which were outstanding—there wasn’t a single item that disappointed us. The staff were professional and provided excellent service, making the 10% service charge well worth it. It’s worth mentioning that they offer kids' meals as well. The children chose the 3-course option, which was not only generous but also incredibly tasty; the little ones were thoroughly satisfied with their meals. Overall, our dining experience was delightful and certainly one to remember, making us eager to return for another visit.

We loved our experience at Donatello's. We received a very warm welcome, the staff were so lovely, always very smiley and making jokes with the kids. The food was perfect, especially the lasagne! We will definitely be returning

Fantastic - always so friendly and accommodating. We had a toddler and a baby with us and the staff couldn't be more helpful. Food delicious, as always.

Beautiful food, fantastic service and great atmosphere. We visited for my dad's birthday (we didn't tell the staff that as we didn't want a fuss) and we all had a truly fantastic meal. We had a variety of dishes including starters, pizza and pasta and all were cooked to perfection, tasting absolutely delicious. The total bill came to just over 100, including service which also included a couple of alcoholic drinks. Amazing! We'll definitely return for another meal in the future
