Da Paolo

Just perfect , great ambience , food was amazing along with the service.

A true Italian restaurant, with helpful and friendly staff, a broad menu choice and an excellent atmosphere. A cut above the high street chains . . . We will certainly be returning.

As always the food and service is amazing. Great ambience. I have been here many times. It is one of my favourite places to eat.

Friendly efficient service.Food and wine, perfectly adequate, but sound rather than exciting. At £40 per head for two courses and a bottle of house red (one of the main courses being a straight pasta dish) ,prices bordering on the high end of mid price.The restaurant space is small, the decor cosy in a traditional Italian style, the seating is very cramped however and once the restaurant became crowded a degree of manoeuvering was required whenever customers needed to leave their table space,by those seated at adjoining tables.There is the potential to dine al fresco during the warmer months and this may ease the pressure on indoor space.Overall Da Paolo offers a pleasant dining experience.

Although tucked away and a small restaurant this was a really good friendly place to eat, service excellent and the food i can highly recommend. Good Italian food and good value. Worth seeking out.

Good service and reasonable food, if overpriced. It was a relaxed and friendly atmosphere atmosphere. The food was traditional Italian. I had a pleasant time

Traditional, cosy Italian restaurant with AWESOME food! Recommend the mushroom garlic ravioli, it just melts in your mouth! Staff are superb. Lovely evening. Thank you! We will definitely be back!

An excellent experience. A wide range of dishes, well cooked and very nicely presented. Your house wine (white) was most pleasant. Efficient service. All round satisfied, and will be back! Best

Very unassuming place - dont be fooled, the food here is unbelievably good! 'Proper' Italian food! Had spag bol with chicken escalope - fabulous...Combine that with a lovely bottle of Chianti Classic and lunch was wrapped up in a big red bow!! Will be heading back!!

I found the food mediocre, two of my party had to tell the management about the poor quality of their lobster. Management did refund the cost of the meals. Quantity over quality.

We had a delightful time at Da Paolo - the staff, the ambience, the wine, the food were all delightful. The restaurant said they would make any pasta dish to our specifications, and they made a spaghetti aglio olio peperoncino which was perfect; my saltimbocca romana was similarly excellent. We'll be making Da Paolo a regular stop in London

This is my favourite restaurant. It has a lovely intimate atmosphere with excellent food. The staff are friendly and unintrusive and offer a brilliant and attentive service.

Food and service was excellent. Can't fault it. tables are quite close and can be a little noisy at times with loud conversations but otherwise perfect.

Perfect for business dinner as it's local to our office. Great food and atmosphere. Consistently good service, so never get disappointed. Will come again and again.

Really good food and a lovely bottle of wine. and a really warm welcome from all the staff . Would defiantly Recommend A really enjoyable Night. Thanks to all we shall return !!

A rare combination of politeliness and professionalism. My guests enjoed the meal and the atmosphere. The Price for all this was surprisingly low. Service exellent.

Excellent food and service. Shame about space...a bit tight ! Portions to certainly satisfy your hunger. You won't come out still feeling peckish . What ALL restaurants should do instead of charging you the earth and still leave you hungry !

Warm friendly family atmosphere . That staff were all friendly and helpful. Food was delicious, I especially enjoyed my liver, bacon and onions ! Altogether highly recommmended.

lovely food great un intrusive but attentive service lovely place, really central. Small and intimate I went with colleague to have a working dinner and it was an excellent choice for that but equally I could see for a small intimate dinner for 2 it would be great.

The fact that this restaurant has been in business for many years and is usually full tells you that it does most things right. If you are looking for a well executed 'traditional' Italian meal, Da Paolo will not disappoint. A lovely and good value Primitivo added considerably to our enjoyment of the meal.

There was an amazing choice of tasty meals, decent portions, great service and lovely atmosphere on both floors. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely go again.

Great place,nice staff and even better food!! Tuna was delicious and tomato & burrada salad was fresh and tasty. Will definitely come back with family and friends.

Great service, accommodating for dished that were not on the menu was bot a problem. Dishes came quickly, hot and tasty. Highly recommend this restaurant.

A friendly, pleasant restaurant with helpful staff and an excellent menu. Prompt service! We had the specials and they didn't disappoint. Just the place for a meal to put you in good mood, a quiet haven in a busy area of town. The real Italian experience.

A lovely cosy Italian restaurant with a family run feel. The food was given in generous portions but not lacking in flavour. Lovely service and it was a very busy evening for them. Good place to have a romantic meal

Excellent meal , friendly service and warm and relaxed ambiance. Would strongly recommend this restaurant for generous helpings of really good food at reasonable prices. Will be going back.

A small restaurant upstairs but BIG where service and food is concerned. Excellent cooking, presentation AND reasonably priced too. Service was outstanding. I go to this restaurant quite a lot as it's the best in the area and it never fails to impress. Oh, and the The Specials really are "special".

Excellent friendly service and well presented tasty food. Rang for directions to restaurant from Tube and staff were most helpful. Cosy atmosphere which is rare for London.

Delicious food. Excellent service. Massive portions. Warm atmosphere. Best Italian Restaurant in London. Great little spot hidden down a pedestrian walk in the heart of this vibrant city.

amazing food with great service! definitely recommended and will go visit it again. Good selection of wine. Very Authentic Italian restaurant with the traditional Italia feeling!

Da Paolo is OK at best. The tables are very close together, but that's OK if you want a jolly atmosphere and you don't need to have a serious conversation. There was certainly a jolly atmosphere. But this thing about "generous portions" is crazy. I had a starter that would have fed 4 people and the main course was enough for 2. I left at least half of both dishes and it was such a waste. My starter was mountains of charcuterie perched on a mound of salad - which incidentally was rather wet. I ploughed my way through half of it before thinking "this is ridiculous" and giving up. I don't enjoy eating like that. When taking my order, I was asked - very properly - how I'd like my tuna to be cooked. I said rare. A double helping arrived, with two large pieces of tuna fighting their way through a deluge of cherry tomatoes. Neither piece of tuna was rare. I was too depressed to complain. Having gone to the bother of asking, then ruining two pieces of fish, I was reluctant to suggest the chef had a go at another two. Serve half the amount of food; charge the same amount of money. Then they could afford to improve the cooking.

Da Paolo is intimate and atmospheric. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, but not intrusive (a real trick in such cosy surroundings). Our party of 8 had a snug fit but we were never cramped. The food was really good - no one regretted their choice and the portions were generous. Thoroughly recommended.

Nice atmosphere really nice and tasty food good recommendations from the waiter....nice celection of wines.really enjoy it I'll go again for sure not only once.

We dined in a lovely atmospheric upstairs room. The service was attentive but best of all was the food. It was all genuinely Italian and of excellent quality.

Da Paolo is a genuine Italian restaurant. The recipes are not the usual ones, but more on the regional specialties, make sure to enquire about the special dishes of the day that are always an amazing treat. It tends to be a little expensive (dishes on the range of 18/20£) but this is the price for genuine Italian quality and let's remember that they serve pretty big portions, for example a single main dish is usually enough to fill me up. As dessert the Tiramisu' is deliciously home made. The real deal.

Great food, surprising specials in an intimate atmosphere. We arrived and out table was waiting. The helpful staff helped us pick the perfect items for our meal.

Authentic and tasty food. We would definitely go back for dinner!
