Read moreThree 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.

It's a beautifully rustic little place, and will remind people who have been to Italy just what Italian restaurants are supposed...
