Donatellos

Three of us met up and ate here prior to a show at the Grove Theatre (not really walking distance if you're on a schedule but coming here turned out to be definitely worth the short drive) Donatello's has a comprehensive main menu but we were drawn to the special offer on the blackboard: margherita pizza plus three toppings and a side of fries or garlic bread all for £10. A good choice of toppings ensured that our final pizzas were very different from eachother and we each found a combination we liked. With a thick crust to get a decent chew on and a decent portion size, we each had some to take away and enjoy later. Quality cannot be faulted and we all felt that it was excellent value. The drinks weren't quite the same value, one drink each (two of which were soft drinks) took our combined bill from £30 up to £47, but overall we were satisfied with Donatello's and would return when next in Dunstable.

I've been coming to donatellos since I was fourteen years old, I'm 45 now. The food has changed slightly over the years as you'd expect, but the standard hasn't! Always a friendly atmosphere, and wonderful service. I've heard people say it's expensive at donatellos, yet I've seen dishes that aren't even in the same ball park served at harvesters for more. In my opinion, if you love food then you don't really have a problem paying for quality. I've tried absolutely everything on their menu, but my go to dish is the penne octopus. If you love seafood you'll love this. I never have it without their amazing garlic bread and cheese. Other dishes I can recommend are the al forno, alfredo, lasagne, and the spaghetti donatellos. It's a beautifully rustic little place, and will remind people who have been to Italy just what Italian restaurants are supposed to look like.

Had our first takeaway last night from Donatello’s Dunstable North and I must say what a delight. From my first call checking if they delivered to our area to receiving our order. The young lady who answered my call was so pleasant she took my order despite suffering with a cold checked delivery time for us and even delivered our pizza’s and what a beautiful meal it was, piping hot, tasty, best pizza I’ve ever had, really authentic and will now only be going to Donatello’s for my takeaways, we are planning to go to the restaurant and have a meal because if the pizza and staff we have met are anything to go by it’s going to be a wonderful experience. Happy New Year and thank you. See you again real soon. Shane
