Lovely little restaurant with a great selection of food. Lunch was the perfect side and great value for money. Desserts were gorgeous especially the homemade tiramisu.

Lovely little Italian with friendly staff and very good pizzas desserts are a bit of an afterthought on the menu, but still tasty!

Great food in a cosy atmosphere. The menu has some unique and innovative items on

First time here tonight & I would avoid. Should’ve thought better after seeing only 1 family in here at dinertime on a Saturday evening! The inside and decor are nothing to write home about and are very outdated. Not very appealing from the outside to look at either. The restaurant also advertises as having a car park however you can barely call it that - literally room for maybe 3 cars, I also had to park at an angle due to the what looked like broken down trailer and sheds. The staff were rude and inattentive throughout and I would say definitely do not enjoy their jobs which is a shame as you know; it is a restaurant and advertised as a family restaurant. The food itself was unaspiring or appealing to look at and was served Luke warm. Right next door is a chip shop which smelt and looked much more appealing - wished I had gone there instead and the size of the queue of the people waiting for their food should have been a good indicator. I would highly suggest avoiding.

I arranged with the restaurant for a team Christmas Dinner celebration for 23 people. They were so helpful and accommodating prior to the night and really looked after us well on the day. The food was pre-ordered from their very reasonably priced Christmas menu, but freshly prepared on the night and absolutely delicious. Super service from super staff throughout. I would love to return.

Fantastic pizza in a calm but pleasant restaurant. Never been before, but a great find and we will go back. They have a great menu and have been in business for many years. The member of staff was lovely.

We live local, come here regular and always really enjoy it. The service is good with very friendly staff, Rio the owner’s son is very helpful and always makes us feel welcome and there is a great selection of traditional Italian dishes. Last night we both had the bruschetta starters, then FARFALLE AL SALMONE and TONNO AL FORNO and we would both recommend these dishes. We had a carafe of their selected Italian red table wine that went perfectly with the meal. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

Had a great meal here on Saturday 28th October. The food was delicious and I’m a fussy eater so well done. Super friendly staff and a great atmosphere.Thank

Inauthentic restaurant, not in any way Italian- there's no pride in the produce or service. Chewy rubbery pizza, awful salad- randomly chopped iceberg lettuce with unfresh tomatoes. Run down premises, old uncomfortable furniture and faulty toilets. It's hard to understand other higher ratings, it's just not realistic. Family run but boy are they defensive, becoming offensive, if you raise any issue. Stay away!

Terrible Experience!From uncomfortable chairs and cramped tables, faulty toilet (no proper hand washing in gents- tap taped up in plastic bag) to really poor food- tough chewy pizza and chopped iceberg lettuce with unfresh tomato (described as fresh tomato/cucumber etc on a bed of lettuce) we thought it couldn't get worse.Apparently because we raised the food issues with his son (who was immediately defensive and irritatingly condescending) the owner ran after us outside and shouted at me across my wife in a face to face angry confrontation. Quite unbelievable behaviour from a family run restaurant who clearly have no customer focus and cannot handle any reasonable feedback or questioning of their produce.Avoid!!!
Found Donatellos after we came to Ampthill looking for somewhere to eat. Honestly the best pizza either of us has ever had. The staff were also really lovely. Definitely going to return

Great little Italian restaurant. I've been here many times before and always enjoyed it. When I bring friends to Ampthill, we almost always end up here. They have a couple of vegan options that are labeled on the menu, if you would like vegan cheese or gluten free, you'll need to call ahead, but they are very accommodating.

Had a meal out with friends, the atmosphere and service was great. The food was delicious, I had the jekyll and Hyde spaghetti bolognese and Margareta pizza, it was soooo good!The prices are reasonable and there's enough choice without being overwhelming. We were told the kitchen was experiencing a shortage of staff that night, but you wouldn't have known, the restaurant was packed and everyone seemed happy.If you want a relaxed night out, with amazing food, come here.Parking: There's a small carpark at the back, but there aren't many spaces
