    5 Stars TASTE ITALY WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK! Review with images 13/09/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good Food! Great Ambiance. Superb Value For Money.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can Be Very Busy. A Couple Of Lacklustre Dishes.

    Whilst food, either cooked at home by my superbly talented wife, or eaten out could be regarded as something of a passion of mine, writing foodie or restaurant reviews is not. Neither am I myself much of a cook I'll have you know! However having discovered Donatello Ristorante two years ago, we have eaten there, probably a dozen times in the last eighteen months, this is at least twice as many times as we have eaten out anywhere else during the same period. That being the case it is obviously high time to tell you all about it. This very well known Italian restaurant, situated in the most ... more

    5 Stars Fabulous Dining Experience! Review with images 21/08/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great service, great food, great ambience

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none really

    Donatello - a restaurant I would never have really thought about going to had I not been on a hen weekend organised by a company who booked us "hens" into Donatello for what they described as a 2 course meal included as part of our package. Of the seven of us who went to dine there, none had eaten there before and we arrived about 15 minutes later than we were due. We were not made to feel like naughty school kids for being late (as has happened to me when out with groups of diners before and various circumstances have caused us to be slightly late - with a snooty comment such as "we are ... more

    Advantages Advantages cost, good atmosphere

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not the place for funeral receptions

    Ooh la la. I can't believe no one has written about Donatellos! Ooh la la. Well mi hearty's, gather round and i shall tell you of a magical place where pasta grows on trees and the pizzas are bigger than your face. Oh it's true! Donatellos is situated in Brighton's posher south laines (as apposed to the north ones) It's just round the back of the old Hanningtons which by the way i'm going to personally start a campaign to reopen, although it was posh and i never went in there, it was historic and painted blue!! The restaurant itself is huge. It's spread over 2 floors although there are a ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hen and stag party invasions

    I have been going ot this restaurant for 9 years and first discovered it whilst I was a student at university. It is open for both lunch and dinner both of which have deals on. It serves simple but lovely italian food at a good price for what you get. They do things such as £9.95 for two courses. They take bookings which a lot of brighton restaurants don;t so at least you know you will get a seat. THey have a very small bar area where you can wait if your table is not quite ready. The restaurant is divided up into three main areas on three floors. I have eaten on all of them and they all offer ... more

    Advantages Advantages Authentic Italian family cooking

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Quite a few steps and stairs

    Enjoyed an authentic Italian lunch with family and grandchildren on 10 September 2012. The waiters were brillliant with the babies. We had the lunchtime deal, two courses was very filling (starter and main) so we didn't have the opportunity to sample the puds. In no way did we feel restricted to only a few items on the menu, as in some of the well-known chains. Everyone had what they wanted and the salad bar had loads of choices. The food was fresh and delicious and we couldn't believe it was so well priced.There was plenty of space for the babies and their prams in the Gallery. We came in at ... more
