Donatello - Brighton and Hove

Really disappointing experience on Sunday, 15 May. my son had booked a table for 5 of us for birthday for 6 o'clock on Sunday night. when he had booked, he advised the restaurant that we would come with a dog. we were going to be on the way. 5 minutes late and said we were on the way and that was confirmed by the staff. when we arrived at 18.05 clock, the front of the house staff said 2 bit bad tracking first we have no outside personnel and second we are fully booked! my son said we booked and I just confirmed the booking 5 minutes ago. we were hit with a shrug and one thing I can do. it was my birthday contract and my son was really disappointed when he had made such a effort to book as a surprise. very bad customer service. we went to the marco polo restaurant on the road that were extremely accommodated.

We just walked by and saw that the place was busy, so we thought we would try. 2 curs for 12,50 and a beautiful bottle of wine for £18. it can not fail and goes to show that they do not spend a. land to get good quality eating and service

We visited donatellos visit my daughter because it was recommended as Brighton Institute. it might have been good that once in a time, but our experience was best on average. Eat ok-ish. felt as if they only bought you in and...out terrific location and brighton is a great place. but I could not recommend donatellos. many better places to eat drink in brighton

Always great. I had the pinnochio pasta and really enjoyed it. always great service and good food. I have visited pinnochios for over 20 years, it is my way to grub in brighton.

Visited Donatellos after not going for a while, they have really gone downhill... Had a sharer starter that consisted of some meats two slithers of cheese, pickles that tasted off and a giant dry pizza bread... The main was even worse... spaghetti with mussels that...had a strong ammonia smell which is an indication they were past best... took two mouthfuls and couldn't eat anymore, the sauce was full of sugar and the mussel shells were smashed and half closed so didn't want to risk getting ill... I told the waitress who shrugged and offered another dish but at this point we just wanted to leave... £46 for nothing.... this place has really gone downhill... maybe more suitable for teenagers who want a cheap pizza at best... won't be wasting my money here again...
