Festive Dinner at Donatello's

Details

As for last year, we all have to order from the same menu, so we're going for the 3-course Classico menu; drinks and coffee are extra.

The 'Classico' menu offers various starter & dessert options, with a huge choice of pizzas / pasta for main course. Asterisk denotes veggie choice.
No need to give your menu choices when you RSVP - they prefer to take orders on the night. I could only get a 6.30 booking on a Saturday this close to Christmas - make sure you can arrive for a 6.30 pm start.

This is one of my favourite restaurants for a big party - always buzzy and reliably good food.

I'll be prioritising full members when allocating places for this meal.
Once you have a place, I'll message you with full payment details. I'll be adding on a £3 Meetup fee for any non-members booking, or if you prefer, please pay £10 for a full year's membership subscription to this Meetup group.

Donatello 3-course Classico menu - £21 incl 10% service
(just £1.25 more than last year!)
