There’s not too many family restaurants around these days, but there’s even less like this one. Donatello is a local legend in Warrington, a stalwart of Orford Lane with a reputation that’s almost as big as its two-decade history. While competition has come and gone, Donatello has remained a constant since 1996.

In 2022, the Donatello family expanded to include Don Quattro, a fast-food offering with all the quality customers have come to expect from a Don. As the Don Quattro star rose, a minor refurb at Donatello created the ideal opportunity to refocus the parent brand, polishing one of the jewels in the town’s culinary crown and reminding the young Dons of their place.

The logotype is based on Fragment Glare, customized with a raised O and a stacked LL pair. The accompanying brand fonts are Agrandir and Right Grotesk.
