I have never been disappointed with a meal from here. The portion sizes are generous and the quality of the food is excellent, very fresh and tasty. The staff there are really friendly and very accommodating we've celebrated a few birthdays there and they have helped us organise surprises. The menu is very varied, not just sticking to the bog standard pizzas and pastas, they branch out into other more interesting dishes, their specialities include roasted monkfish with grilled lettuce, red pepper relish and polenta. Porchetta, a Tuscan-style pork roast with fennel, herbs and garlic, and Tuscan braised beef. I'm a big fan of the pizzas here though. Menu prices are about average for an Italian restaurant and they do also have happy hours. The décor inside is great, very rustic and cozy. A great place to dine.

It's been a while since I've eaten here, but I have still fond memories of the Geordie Steak Bake…read morepizza - a gorgeous, big, wood-fired creation topped with sliced steak, caramelized onions, cheese, and other good stuff (can't remember now - rosemary?) All the pictures of the food on their website look incredible, and the great thing is that's actually what the food looks like. The pizza was delicious, with a perfect crust, big flavors, juicy steak...I was in heaven. All the pizzas are unique and looked wonderful. My husband's lamb kebab was also pretty incredible - a huge platter of lamb served with woodfired flatbread, a variety of sauces, colourful salad, and pomegranate seeds. The food isn't cheap, but the portions were sizeable and the quality was excellent. It's clearly a popular neighbourhood place with friendly staff, who learn your name and make chat with you when they walk past the table. We'd love a return visit sometime - it's some of the best pizza in the area!

I ordered some food from here on Just Eat a few nights ago. My order was late so I called the…read morerestaurant to find out where it was, I was told there was a delay but would be with me soon. I waited another 20 mins and called again, I was told there was a further delay and the food would be with me in another 45 minutes, at this point, I was no longer interested in waiting this long and asked to cancel the order. The person I was talking to was extremely rude, telling me I could not cancel and would have to wait. I then went onto Just Eat and cancelled the order thinking I would get a refund since the food has been delayed twice, however the this restaurant refused to refund me, saying it was due to bad weather. The weather had been glorious all day and there were no signs of any weather issues. I requested Just Eat to investigate this and sort out my refund but they were useless and unable to help me. So I paid £24 and never received anything. They didn't even refund me the delivery charge when nothing was ever delivered to me.

Better pizza than the nearby Pizza Hut by a long way and considerably keener prices…read more Update Jan 2013: It seems I wasn't the only person to notice this as Pizza Hut has closed down.

Donatello's is located in Fowler St in south shields and I have to say they do the best pizza's in…read moresouth shields for takeaway. The range of pizzas are vast and are all made to a high standard to the way that you specify. They also do thin base pizzas which I can highly recommend as they are not as heavy as the main ones. The toppings are put on generously and the kebabs and sudries are also of fantastic quality. Delivery from here normally takes about 30 mins to get to your house and the pizza is always still hot when it arrives. I do recommend however ordering and collecting as you can normally time your arrival to it just coming out the oven and they taste fantastic just out the oven.
