    Lovely time at De Paolo. The small, dimly lit and slightly crowded setting made for an atmospheric evening out. The hand written Specials board, house wine, and Italian waiter felt authentic. Food was very good and portion sizes were large. I had the liver and would definitely order again, my teens ordered pasta dishes - a Ragu and gnocchi- and were content. Lovely, small, and bustling restaurant.

    Important Update:

    Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.

    We were the only people in the restaurant when we arrived at 7:30 but a few more tables were taken over the next hour. Food was lovely but we only had a main course. Lovely local family place...would go again.

    Every time we visit London we eat at Da Paolo’s. The food is amazing, portions large, service great and we don’t think it is expensive. We are already looking forward to eating there again next time we are down from Scotland.

    Lovely staff, and delicious food! More choice for vegetarians would make it a firm favourite... Noisy and squashed up, but that's perhaps part of the charm.
