Donna Margherita
-
The trattoria styling – open brickwork, mural, strings of garlic and display of antipasti – is so outdated it feels fresh, but perfect pizza never goes out of fashion, and here are some of the best puffy-yet-crisp pizza bases you’ll find. Look on the specials sheet for wine bargains, such as Chiaretto rosé from Bardolino in the Veneto. The menu lists around 20 pizzas, plus half-and-half combo plates, though you may be diverted by the tempting pasta and gnocchi dishes made on the premises. We were impressed by the freshness and accurate cooking of the seafood, both in a starter of herb-crusted wood-roasted squid, and the garlicky pizza frutta di mare. Own-made desserts such as tiramisu and a white-chocolate-coated sponge shell filled with chocolate ice-cream are fine, but not worth saving room for. Surprisingly, Donna Margherita wasn’t busy on our Sunday lunchtime visit, when it seems the perfect spot for young families. Staff are friendly, easy-going and in no hurry to see us leave.

i totally agree with every body for good a friendly service and the best pizza in London!!!!!!!!!!!!
Certantly one of the best "real" pizza Napoletana in London! Important to undeline: very easy pizza to digest because prepared following the old italian traditions. I bring all my dates there! I suggest to try the Tiramisu', better then my mother's one!
And the staff is very friendly and helpfull. Highly reccomended!
When i went to Donna Margherita the first time, i was really surprised.
Everithings remind me Italy, the music, the colours, the warm atmospfhere but most of all the food!!!!
Any time we go the food is great and also the service is competent and friendly...we love their pizzas!!!!!
Since I found this place three years ago I have returned as often as I can. Since they upgraded the Wood Fired Oven I believe, their pizza is even better. Great Pasta dishes, my favourite is the seafood sciallatielli, and I have to say great beef fillet as well.
It is in my top 5 restaurants in London
