La Bella Donna

Italian Restaurant

Reviewed By frac38 - Glasgow

Arrived at the door for dinner as a group of six without a reservation and were professionally accommodated after some reshuffling of tables. We all had a variety of dishes from steak to pasta along with a carafe of house red and everyone was complimentary on the quality of the food and drink. A Lovely atmosphere and decor coupled with a price range that won't break the bank gives you a great little Italian restaurant which i would highly recommend if in Donegal Town.

We visited this restaurant for a carvery lunch. The 3 of us were very happy with our lunch, the roast beef was cooked to perfection. My son and grandson had beef stroganoff which they truly enjoyed. My son and grandson had orange and chocolate cheescake which they said was excellent. The only down side was a lack of friendliness but will definitely be back for the food.

I was here last month with my husband and two children. I rang ahead and booking and we just got in the door before they gave our table away. We were seated at a table near kitchen which wasn't ideal but anywhere else would have awkward with a high chair. The food was gorgeous but I felt very anxious everytime the baby cried or looked for attention. It was stressful for us but the staff were great. I found dessert menu limited and expensive but I will be back again but I will have a sitter booked

The Lobster Pot

Reviewed By 72Mary - Newcastle, United Kingdom

Visited here on recommendation while we were staying in a rented cottage a few miles away.
For starters I chose crab claws which were pretty uninspiring.
My partner opted for potato skins which looked like they had come from a freezer shop.
Both our starters and main dishes were served on cold plates, this is never acceptable in my opinion and demonstrates lack of care for the customer.
My partner opted for Hennessy chicken, at almost 20€ we were expecting something special, this was not the case, bland sauce, mediocre piece of chicken and the dish was literally smothered in mushrooms which overwhelmed the whole flavour of this dish, this was served with a portion of just okay chips again in a cold dish.
My main was scampi tails again priced at almost 20€, this dish was terrible!
The scampi was fried in thick and greasy batter, I attempted to remove some of the batter but it was stuck to the tiniest and mushiest scampi tails....really awful. The grease hardened on the cold plate and was so unappetising.
I informed the waitress that I was unhappy with the dish, she told me she would inform chef but did not feedback to me.
When I enquired what chefs response was she babbled some excuse that is how the dish was served!! Apalling service.
The American owner was fully aware of these difficulties as he was stood at the bar and made no attempt to intervene or rectify.
We were charged 72€ for this Shambles of a meal, this include 2 small wines and one and a half pints of Guinness.
Totally overpriced and unappetising.
I would not reccomend
