I was there last week with a group of friend, and we where all happily surprised by the authenticity of the food. This week I returned to Donna margherita with my girlfriend, and I can confidently say the best Italian ever!!!

I will recommend it to anyone who loves an authentic pizza, but also great food in general.

The service is very friendly and the atmosphere is as Italian as it can get, so what`s more to say, just go and check it out, you will have a great time. Buon appetito

Good but not great. Spurred on by a review from Jay Rayner that he'd been tipped off regarding the quality of the dough, I popped along with 2 friends. Starters were slow in appearing (bordering on 30 minutes) and apparently were slowed owing to my order of pasta to start (pasta doesn't take 30 mins to cook)! Excellent al dente pasta when it did arrive (with tomatoes and prawns) but my friends' bruschetta was burnt on the base - not great. Garlic bread was light and doughy but maybe slightly over powered with garlic. Can't argue with the aforementioned dough, though.

A second bowl of bread and olives was put down in between starters and main that signalled another long wait for 3 pizzas, that eventually came after another 30 minutes. Fortunately the company was good, so this isn't a big gripe for me: but I can imagine other diners would get agitated at this sort of wait. Pizzas excellent - a strong tomato sauce with generous amount of mozzarella on my margherita and again that excellent dough. Not being a dessert person, I am looking for the perfect gelati/ice cream so tried their vanilla ice cream that was average at best.

I'd definitely go back again, but won't be rushing back. Atmosphere was lively, especially in the kitchens - one of my friends could see into the kitchen from her perch and could see all hell letting loose in there - finger pointing, the lot. Maybe we caught the restaurant on a bad night. £34 each for 3 courses and 2 bottles of wine between three of us represents quite good value for Clapham.

Well i`m so pleased that i found this restaurant !!!!!!!!!!

My schialatielli with sea food was very good,actually i did not believe till lust night that in London i could eat a plate of pasta so perfect !

This is that sort of place that when you eat you will always go back,

specially if you are a fans of the Neapolitan pizza which is the restaurant specialty!!!

I will recommend this restaurant to any one that likes Italian food!

i`m Neapolitan my self,and today a pizzeria that respect the tradition on the pizza are very few.

the reason been is because to make a very light pizza there is a lot of hard work .

The pizza that i had to Donna Margherita was perfect and my Neapolitan starter was very well made to.

i`m very pleased to find a real Neapolitan restaurant ,so far i was very disappointed most of them they are very average, this one is top class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"molto molto buono" i have seen a lot of good press on this restaurant and i have to say "well deserved "

i really enjoyed the all experience the staff was very friendly and the food was

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!!

if you are looking to taste the real Italian food then you should go to Donna Margherita and you will be delivered the real authentic Italian food.

Thursday, July 02, 2009 - I can safely say that Donna Margherita is good. Its not going to win any big awards, and in a way, that's a good thing. The classical style is rustic and its just straightforward good Italian food. In particular, the pizzas are wonderful, almost as good as Franco Manca and the pastas as well as the seafood stand out. Its unbeatable when it comes to price.
