Pretty dreadful. Communication with the staff was difficult and none seemed very happy. The pizza I received was twice brought out to me and on both occasions was not what I ordered. No refund or discount was offered by them because of their mistakes. What eventually arrived was a pathetic excuse for a pizza and left me feeling quite nauseous.
I took my girlfriend here - our second visit. There is a pleasant ambiance and the staff are very friendly.
Fortunately we weren't in any hurry because although not particularly busy at the time, the service and delivery of the food was slow. My girlfriend had a pasta dish which she enjoyed, however I was very disappointed with my pizza which was small and certainly didn't live up to the recommendations of some of the other reviewers - I am suspicious!
We had a main course and a desert each, shared a bottle of Italian red and had a liquor to finish. The bill that came seemed rather high at £96 but when I checked it over we had been over-charged by approx £16. Even though it took 2 goes before they got the bill correct they didn't feel it necessary to apologise.
It is a pleasant enough little restaurant, but certainly not as special as some make out - and be careful to check the bill.
We went last Saturday and we were quite disappointed.
The quality is fine but portion are small and over price (5 pounds for child size potatoes saute is a joke). Same for pizza. Good Napoli style but try the one at Al Forno (richer, more topping) where you do not leave the place still hungry(well if you do not spend 40quid).
Plus the waiter was anything but happy to see us.
I suggest to try Mascalzone and Al Forno in Putney and leave Donna Margarita to middle class.
Not impressed - first of all I would not consider this the best pizza in London - Eco in Clapham Common has much better pizza. Also was over charged on the bill then when they gave us the correct bill we found that we had been charged £2.50 each for a glass of coke? The waiters barely speak english so service wasn't the best either don't know whose has been writing all these reviews but I'm beginning to think that they are not all kosher.
We had a group of about 14 or 15 here a couple of weeks back on a Saturday night, and we had a great time!
To be fair, from the outside it doesn't look like the best place in the world, but once you're inside. the staff were really friendly, the menu had a great choice, and all reasonably priced.
A lot of us had pizza's which were all great - one of the nicest I have ever had! Others had pasta, and risotto's, and not a complaint about any of them
All made for a great evening in a restaurant that feels like a bigger version of your mum's kitchen!
Only downside was that we could only get 8 people on a table due to space limitations, but it was no big deal.
Will certainly be back soon
When we arrived at Donna Margherita we found straightway a great ambience, the service was fast ,and all the staff sympathetic and friendly with us .
The food at Donna Margherita is lovely and tasty at the sometime , and it's served in huge portions then the pizzas are fantastic with generous toppings and nice thin bases.
It` is great value for money Would definitely go back again

very Italian what i mean is that pasta was very aldente and the pizza was very light
which it means that the preparation is like in Italy!!

Donna Margherita has been our favourite Italian restaurant for the past three years. Even when travelling through Italy, we always end up comparing cuisine to this wonderful, personable restaurant in Clapham.
Their Antipasto Misto is not to be missed as a starter. Take the option of personally selecting three dishes from a wide selection of starters. It gives you a chance to try out a range of the chef's selections.
What sets this Italian restaurant aside is that their seafood dishes are exceptional. Their Seabass is especially tasty but if you decide that you would like a traditional pasta or woodoven fired pizza, then you will also not be disappointed.
Finish off with lemon sorbet or the softest Tiramisu that you will ever experience. Overall Donna Margherita is a gem and one which you will return to once discovered!
Everyone I know who’s been to Donna Margherita has had a great time. There’s a lovely lively atmosphere and the staff are very friendly. Book a table at Donna Margherita for a birthday – it’s great.
If you like Italian food, you'll love Donna Margherita. The food is fantastic and the atmosphere really authentic.
I was impressed by the service too. I will definitely be back to Donna Margherita!
