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.
I really like this restaurant - the food's always nice, with a few unusual things to try and the service is friendly. Good ambiance all round. Recommended
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).
A good restaurant with fantastic food and exceptionally friendly staff. Pizza was very good, Tiramisù was amazing, staff was really kind and warm. I'll definitely go again in the future.
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
A most enjoyable dinner. Excellent, efficient service, lovely people. The food was not the best Italian I've ever had, but nonetheless it was really tasty and enjoyable. Will definitely go again.
We went here due to the proximity to BAC. We left big fans. There was only 1 highchair amd 2 babies BUT the staff were so wonderful with the 5 children. The food was delicious and came out quickly. We even had our lelfovers packed up! Great place.
The staff were very friendly and attentive; the food was delicious! The risotto in particular is great, but all their pasta dishes are really tasty.
Randomly chose here to catch up with a friend and loved it ! Lovely atmosphere and great staff! Food was great, a really nice place to dine , very cosy but a lovely layout. Thank you for giving us a lovely evening !
Amazing food, service and atmosphere. The owneer made us feel very welcome and was quick to explain the Italian philosophy he had created for the place. Will definitely be back!
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.
Really love this place. Just amazing. Great atmosphere, great service, great selection of wines, best pizza in London. Highly recommend. Will definitely be going again
Beautiful place, kind and good staff, amazing food. We're been there for a pizza and was the nicest one i tried in London since i' m here.
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.
Good food and nice service, very accommodating. Authentic feel to the restaurant and great selection of wine. The outside dining area is lovely, especially during the rain.
Nice food in a nice restaurant. Gorgeous garlic bread and spicy bread.. This was our second visit and we would visit again. Very convenient from Clapham junction.
5 of us ate there 19/07/17. Food and quality of wine were both excellent. We would recommend as a much better than average local Italian.
Great food, great service. I keep recommending it to friends and families! Love the vibe! Never disappoint you. Food quality is at the top and their own bread to die for!!
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!!!
Good food and a nice atmosphere. The buffalo mozzarella was especially good. I'd definitely go back but would hope the service was a little better.
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.
I've been already 4th time and everything tastes amazing . I didn't want to change Calzone it's my favourite dish I invite different people at Donna Margarita all the time
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.
Great authentic Italian. Lovely staff and delicious food - could not fault it . We had the tasting menu which was very good value, great coffee too.
Great food. Lobster spaghetti was really good! Sat outside which was perfect with the hot weather. We will go again and recommend it to friends.
The dishes I chose were simply delicious and tasty, especially the salmon cooked in foil. I would definitely recommend this Italian restaurant, along with friendly staff.
Great food and great experience. The waiters were very attentive, daughter who is very fussy eater was able to order a unique meal to her wihes
We had a delicious meal and very good red wine (amazing pasta and risotto) here with excellent service before the moonwalk. We would Highly recommend this restaurant.
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.
Visited on Mon 8th May 2017. Arrived at 18:00 and had the pleasure of being greeted by Massimo. This gentleman was so full of passion for the food that came from his colleagues kitchen at instantly made us feel welcome. The food, atmosphere, drinks and company were great! Highly recommended.
Great food - but wanted table back after 1 hr 45mins. We arrived 15 mins late which made it 1:30 ! We had to have coffee elsewhere.
I love this place. Authentic, amazing Italian food at fairly reasonable prices. It's a great atmosphere, very buzzy with Italian waiters rushing around every where!
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!
Great athmosphere and great pizzas however the gnocci little disappointing, way too much flouer in it. Loved the conollo. Chocolate cake yssted a few days old.
Amazing food, value for money, service, hospitality. Will definitely visit again. Thank you for the great experience. The degustation menu was incredible. See you soon!
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!
