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The trattoria styling – open brickwork, mural, strings of garlic and display of antipasti – is so outdated it feels fresh, but perfect pizza never goes out of fashion, and here are some of the best puffy-yet-crisp pizza bases you’ll find.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 found this resturant to be one of the best i have ever eaten in (and im a very fussy eater!)their service was spectacular! very friendly and they definalty know how to satisfy the customer.i have a 17 month baby and i was very impressed with the child friendly atmosphere this establishment offered.The food was of a very high quality and resonably priced, i would definalty eat there again.If you are looking for a fun,friendly resurant this is almost certainly the place to go.
I love Italian food, and this restaurant does it very authentic... the service was very friendly and the food was excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I recommend it to anyone that appreciate authentic Italian food..
Someone told me about this restaurant so i went with my girlfriend.
The food was "nice" but the service was very very poor.
Very disappointed
the most poor service ever!!
Been an Italian from Naples "and with this I mean very fussy about the pizza" I have been looking for a proper Neapolitan restaurant in London for some years now. I heard a buzz about a place called Donna Margherita in Clapham Junction, and obviously I went to check it out. Been disappointed many times I was a bit skeptic about it, but I was gladly surprised. This place is absolutely fantastic, 10 out of 10, the food, the service and the atmosphere are as authentic as it can be.
