Given the current climate surrounding COVID-19, many authorities are placing restrictions on social gatherings. In the best interest of everyone’s safety, we are continuously updating the availability of our partner restaurants to reflect these measures. We encourage people to still support the restaurant industry in other ways.
Learn howWarrington has a fair few, but it’s hard to think of many Italian eateries as authentic and welcoming as Donatello in Orford. It’s casual, and the vibe is more like a neighbourhood pub than an elegant restaurant, but make no mistake – the food here is first class. Stone-baked pizzas are the backbone of Donatello’s traditional Italian menu, crackling out of a genuine Italian pizza oven in dozens of different incarnations, either simply enhanced with a few herbs and flavourings or laden with juicy toppings, with enough variety to please all members of any party. There’s a lot more than delicious pizza (why would you ever need more?), though, from light antipasto to enjoy over a fine wine or a decadent dessert to leave a sweet taste in your mouth, and we’re pretty sure you’ll soon be lining up a return visit to Orford Lane.
Excellent food and service. Lovely to still find a restaurant offering house wine in carafes rather than over-priced expensiv bottles. The calzone was superb. One of the best we have had for a long time.
Been going here on and off for twenty years now. Food always great. Authentic flavours. Easy parking can always find a space. All the staff are lovely and they remember you. Highly recommend.
The restaurant called me to change the time as they were busy at 7pm. That's fine we are at 6. I ordered a penne dish with bacon , onion and basil but when it came I couldn't eat it becUse it had chillie in it and was too spicy for me. I checked the menu. No mention of chilly. They changed my dinner but my mouth still hurts this morning.
