Great atmosphere and staff. We thought that the starters were good and the calamari was lightly battered and freshly cooked. My pizza was very tasty but I felt the base could have been crisper. My friends chicken was a bit over-cooked and with hindsight he wished he'd gone for pasta.

Proper Italian food. Pasta is cooked "Al dente" as in Italy. Prices are ok for London's standards. Just the wines are maybe a bit too expensive. All the ingredients are best quality. Next time I want to try pizza (I saw it going to another table and looks amazing).

I absolutely LOVE Donna Margherita. I've been a client for years and the food has always been excellent not to mention the wide choice of Italian wines which you rarely find elsewhere in London

Portions very small for the price. Watch when paying bill, I was first billed for another customer's bill, which was twice the amount of mine! Fortunately I am 'on the ball', but did not like this! Music too loud, and unnecessary as customers usually like to talk to each other! Food tasty, but should be bigger portions. Staff a bit hit or miss!

Lovely atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. Best pizzas ever. I felt as if I was in a family restaurant in Italy. No pressure to choose starters or dessert but I couldn't resist the deliciously creamy panna cotta with chocolate sauce.

Lovely food and staff. However, we asked for our bill a couple of times before we got it, and therefore had to wait a while.

We ordered at 8.15pm, after an hour our food still hadn't arrived, we then established that our order never went through. Our food eventually arrived at 10. Subsequently we had the manager banging on about how much money they should make and being very arrogant.

My parents were visiting from Italy and I thought that Donna Margherita could be the right place for them. Actually, they loved the place, rigorously in Italian style and tables with cotton napkins. We ate pizza and it was delicious! We could see other dishes and they looked really tasty too! People were friendly and smiley! Absolutely worth to go!!!

Food was good, tempura prawns are fried in their shell. Absolute nightmare! Didn't know what rum was. Asked for gin and tonic but received gin and soda water 🙈 We ate and we left.

The food was nice and reasonably priced. There was an issue with a side dish which was sent back and the replacement never brought out. Also, they only gave bread and plates to one half of the table until prompted to acknowledge the additional 5 people. There was one member of staff who was quite abrupt and at one point whacked me in the arm after leaning over me to put something on the table with no acknowledgement or apology.

Everything was ok- food was good. But service was really slow- we waited 2 min at front to be seated- and when we did- it took ages to someone to come and take our order.

A super-authentic Napolitan (and I mean Napolitan, not Italian!) restaurant and good value. Very attentive waiting staff - maybe a bit to keen to get our orders much of the time. A couple had poor English but my Italian friend sorted that problem. Very interesting range on menu although not always easy to decipher the Google-translate versions of the Italian dialect writing! Excellent ingredients, tasty meals and quick service. Tiramisu a bit dry and not enough Amaretto for my personal taste, mushroom pasta very tasty indeed, my slided meat/cheese selection started was huge. Not many wines by the glass but what there was, was excellent. Felt very authentic sitting in the canopied trattoria section and they had heaters too. Interior decor was a bit stark and all very open and cafeteria-like. The restaurant is a good 10 minute walk from any rail/tube stations but it is worth the effort for a true taste of southern Italy.

Nothing special The starter are overpriced and the service was not so great! One starter, two pizzas and two beers cost 52 pounds. The door was left opened and all the cigarettes smoke came inside.. There are better pizzas and better service!

Disappointed. We'd heard good things about this place but it was very average over all. We ate carbonara and chicken with salad and chips. Both were very uninteresting - salad was limp and there were 10 chips on the plate. Tiramisu was bland. However, the wine was good, staff ok, and the pizzas looked great, so if you're going to eat there try the pizzas first.

Great local spot. The service was good, the food was excellent. Lovely ambience, too. I had the buffala mozzarella to start with the bruschetta - both were super flavourful and delicious. My pasta was a special, and I really enjoyed it (can't go wrong with homemade pasta!). For dessert, I had the tiramisu, which was excellent. Can't wait to come back and try the pizzas!
