Considering the vast choice of reasonably priced italian resturants in Brighton I'm always astounded how busy this one gets when it is so awful. Went there with a group of 8 and half the food came out so much later than the rest that those who were served first had to eat cold food! While some people recieved the wrong... more

I've been hear twice now, while not the best restuarant in the whole world, i think its very good, the prices are amazingly cheap, 2 course meal for £6.95, you can't argue with that, the location is lovely, both times i sat outside watching people go by and the atmosphere is nice, garlic mushrooms for starter and seafood alla marinara... more

I had avocado and parma ham. The avocado was brown in places but had been laid on the plate so that you couldn't... more

Food was really good but service quite bad. In all fairness, the restaurant was packed to bursting point and we went on a saturday evening in August. Something that did annoy me though was the fact i had emailed Donatello's before our trip to Brighton to advise it was our wedding anniversary and we would like a quieter table by... more

The reviews for Donatello's on here are harsh and unfair. You get what you pay for so if you want al a carte then you have to be prepared to pay for it, however if you want a tasty meal with out all the fuss and for it to be served by hard working friendly staff with a price tag... more
