REVIEWS OF Donatello
Hattie (1 September 2008)
I loved everything about this place and will be returning without a shadow of a doubt.
NW London (30 April 2008)
We headed to Donatello on a Saturday and felt disappointed with the standard of food and service. Their menu is impressive and they certainly get the food on the table quickly, but it seems to come at the expense of quality and service. Starters were okay and portion sizes were impressive. The mains however were disappointing - the pizza was bland and my fish dish was overcooked. They took nearly forty-five minutes and five attempts to get the bill right. The manager was not cooperative. My advice is to try and avoid peak times.
