The best restaurants serving Italian food in East of England

delivery time kept being changed so what started as 18:15 turned into 19:40. the new containers are also not retaining the heat as well.

Authentic and so delicious! Service was impressively fast and the menu offers a nice variety of choice. Lovely staff too! The tiny matron was a proper character - a little brusque but in an endearing way. All the other staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Great little gem of a restaurant. Fantastic food, great service, lovely ambience. Highly recommend

I always loved this place but now they have had a refurb it’s just amazing. Such lovely staff and owners. So nice to see it busy. Hope they stay for years. The prawns are amazing 20/10

Service slow as only one member of staff serving and it was very busy. One meal, too salty. Another meal, salmon, over cooked and dry. Other meal, to be fair was very good. To be fair this is the first disappointing meal we have had here over many other good visits.

Great vibe, quality good. Recommend it.

A gem of a restaurant!!! Lovely atmosphere and such.a welcome !! Food was delicious. Will be back !

Our Valentine's Day evening at Donatello's was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a romantic evening. The highlight of our experience was the outstanding service provided by Cherish. Her attentiveness and genuine warmth made us feel truly special. She anticipated our needs with impeccable timing, ensuring our glasses were never empty and that each course arrived promptly. Her knowledgeable recommendations enhanced our dining experience, guiding us through the menu with expertise. The culinary delights at Donatello's exceeded our expectations. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the pizza boasted a delightful blend of flavors with a crispy crust. Each dish reflected authentic Italian cuisine, prepared with the freshest ingredients. Cherish's exceptional service, combined with the delectable food and charming atmosphere, made our Valentine's Day unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend Donatello's to anyone seeking an outstanding Italian dining experience.

Great little business local and friendly

Feel welcomed when walked in. Seafood pasta is excellent; fresh seafood and nice sauce. Carbonara is OMG, very delicious. Great service and good atmosphere. Highly recommend for authentic italian food.

We had dinner here for our anniversary and were very pleased with our experience. We were served by Tessa who was new to hosing on her own and she did a wonderful job. She was ever so kind and helpful and handled the stress very well. The food was very nice but then again we’re biased, we love pasta. We would recommend this restaurant and would visit again

Just real pizza and not that American chain style pizza which is high in calories and just not good for you.

Felt very authentic, staff were helpful and fun, and the food was glorious.

I did order 7 pizzas today 1 diavola and 6 margherita one of it with chips on it i was very disappointed as the all pizzas were VERY SALTED and the margherita's had GARLIC on top!!!! if this is the extra topping on the pizza well mention it on the menu !!!!!! because the margherita were disgusting !!!!!!! we couldn't eat them they was very salted!!!!!
