A very cosy Italian restaurant which offers a variety of delicious dishes (only tried the pasta but never disappointed). Waiters are Italian and very nice. Definitely recommend it!
Love cute little Italian, big portions and the food is really tasty. Sparking red wine was a bonus as it’s my favourite! Would dine here again
We had a lovely evening. Friendly people, great food, cosy atmosphere. Proper tasting Italian food and big portions. We shall definatly come again. xxx xxx
Always consistantly good authentic italian food. Friendly service. We always try to eat here when we go to London - it is reliable. Food prices are reasonable although wine is a bit over priced.
Excellent restaurant! I take clients frequently and the food and service is second to none. The staff are italian so all food is authentic and the portion sizes are huge. Haven’t found a better italian in London.
Nice cosy place for couples and friends. Bit small though...Very helpful waitresses. There was no noisy music so you can talk in peace without shouting.... Book a table as it is busy...
Food s average. Under seasoned. Portions are huge though. cramp seatings. We were put in a small table even when other bigger tables were available.
The staff at Da Paolo are very friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and lovely. The fritto misto was outstanding, as was the pesto pasta dish made specially for my daughter.
Close to Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road, Da Paolo offers great food and friendly service in a gorgeous, intimate setting. This restaurant is highly recommended.
Just perfect; service, surroundings,menu. Had a lovely evening here with family. The staff are patient and not pushy, like some restaurants are. It’s not a big restaurant, which adds to the atmosphere and also it doesn’t make it noisy. Highly recommended.
The food was absolutely excellent, even the gluten free pasta. We were served by the owner (at least I think he was the owner) who would not accommodate any of my friend’s requests to replace something in the dish she wanted. And he wasn’t nice about it either.
The service was excellent throughout. The manager or he may have been the owner helped choose our wine - excellent choices. Her also mixed our Negronis - very good Very good menu and chalked special of the day made for a difficult choice as they all looked good. Watching the other diners we could see the portions were big. We had a plate of grilled sardines - delicious and plenty of them, a mixed starter which was pleasing and two salads that were enjoyed. We had the papardalle special which was very, very good and another pasta dish from the main menu - everything greatly enjoyed. We finished with a very good pana cota and 3 scoops of sorbet of various flavours. These were accompanied by grappas and coffee. Our friends who live part of the year in Italy were impressed with the meal. All in all an excellent evening.
Food and service were excellent, however, we were sitting next to the window/ door. The draft made things rather cold as people were coming and going. Overall, great! Owned and run by Italians, this is a hidden little gem. I would definitely recommend to friends.
We loved the restaurant, the food was excellent and the service attentive without being overpowering, our waitress was delightful. The best meal I have had in a while.
Excellent meal - Carlos is a great host and the restaurant is welcoming and comfortable. We had a great time and the food was really good quality - although there was possibly a bit too much to eat - we certainly didn't go hungry. Great lunch and we will definitely eat there again - highly reccomended
We had lunch here before going to the Dominion Theatre. We chose it as it was easy walking distance to the theatre and had good reviews. We weren’t disappointed. Cosey and friendly restaurant with a good selection on the menu. Good service and we didn’t have to wait too long for the food which was excellent. We chose the crab and prawn ravioli and the pork fillet. Both were delicious.
Understandably busy at Christmas. Tables rather close together. Food quite good with a good selection although the 2/3 course menu doesn't make a lot of sense price-wise. The restaurant is in good location and would probably go again. Efficiently run.
Small and intimate but attentive service and excellent wholesome cuisine. I have to get to 25 words apparently but this first sentence covers all my review !
Great food, great staff and a great atmosphere combined to give us a wonderful evening. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Thank you Da Paulo.
Super quaint small intimate restaurant. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good value. Food tasty. Not high end but the prices reflect that. Best to sit upstairs rather than downstairs, and, in the winter, away from the entry door.
Beautiful quaint Italian restaurant, lovely to be away from the hussle of London. Food was excellent and great value and Staff were more than helpful. Definitely will return and recommend
Very good food! The pasta was perfect. Not compatible for small children, but great hospitality. We tried the lasagna and truffle ravioli and we loved both
Very delicious food, came in good amount of time and the staff was very friendly. Also, the atmosphere is lovely and very cozy. Will definitely go again!
Amazing food and service: true Italian place. We went there on a Saturday and it was a bit loud (as the place is small): maybe reduce a little bit the number of seats?
I was delighted with my choice but my wife felt hers was not particularly tasty. The atmosphere and serice was very good and the price reasonable.
Great food and really good service. We had a party of 8 and everyone loved their meal. The portion sizes for the set menu (for four people) were very generous! Highly recommended.
Party of four ate on a Saturday eveining. Our table was downstairs which was quiet att he beginning but as the restaurant filled up had a great atmosphere. Service was good and our servers were very jolly. Quality of food was excellent. Wine was a little on the expensive side. Great restaurant off a small side street. We will use it again
Cosy restaurant tucked away from the main streets. Menu has wide variety and specials were available. House wine is good quality. Staff friendly and efficient, whilst no attempt to rush.
Great food, great wine, great atmosphere and wonderful staff. We had a lovely evening with our friends and we will all definitely coming back again.
Absolutely delicious food and friendly staff. Just can get a bit noisy when is full as the tables are too close. Apart from that, absolutely recommend it. Truly Italian experience!
This is one of our favourite restaurants .....everything about it is excellent. Carlos and the team provide supurb service, the food is outstanding , brilliant atmosphere. We have been visiting this restaurant for years, and are never disappointed
We booked the table because of the good reviews and a lot restaurants are closed for Sunday dinner. We loved everything of our evening: the warm wellcome, the attention we received from the owner and his staff, they helped us to make the right choices from the menue, the food was excellent and delicious, the place is not big, but the interior and the atmosphere is great! We highly recommend the restaurant for authentic Italian cuisine and we shall definitely come back.
Thank you so much for a fantastic evening, lovely staff, atmosphere and delicious food! Made to feel very special for my birthday - will definitely recommended,
It's a nice place and good experience. A bit pricier than I expected however it is in town. Was easy to book online. Not easy to get on wifi there..lots of questions on app form collecting data. could be streamlined?
Friendly service that was not overbearing. we had a pasta and risotto dish; both were lovely. I would highly recommend the tiramisu, as it's the best I've tasted outside of Italy....possibly as good. Lovely evening. Thank you
Found this restaurant through TripAdvisor and wasn't disappointed. Small restaurant with the family atmosphere . The buratta app and classically made lasagna were very tasty. We had a group of six and five out of the six really enjoyed their meal. We come from New York so we are very spoiled
A very buzzy Italian restaurant. Huge portions, homely cooking, friendly and professional staff. The home-made pasta is excellent. Good value and a great evening was had by all.
It's a tiny restaurant, decors remind of the most famous italian actors and the atmosphere is warm. Service was ok but not exceptional. Very good food but the garlic bread was inedible. Good selection of wines.
Great food in a lovely atmosphere. The staff were very attentive and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. The tortellini and gnocchi were perfectly cooked and tasty.
This restaurant's location is ideal. Very hip, vibrant scene. When you enter there is a sense of warmth and cosiness. We had a nice table (business dinner), great wine, outstanding food and very attentive service. There's an upstairs and downstairs seating area. Food was very fresh. Pasta was done perfectly. Highly recommend this place!
