Couldn't fault the food - Swordfish was great and lamb risotto was lovely too. Peroni was way overpriced at £5.95 for half a pint and I'm always happy to give a tip but I don't appreciate 12.5% service charge being added on a lunch time meal without consulting me.

Absolutely perfect. Wish I had started visiting years ago. I took my family of 7 (ranging in age from 21 to 89 years) there on Saturday for an early dinner. It was just amazing. I cannot praise highly enough the entire experience, from the warm welcome on arrival, the wonderful food, excellent friendly professional service, to the farewell on departure. The ambience was so warm and welcoming. My elderly mother was treated with so much care and attention. This is a restaurant that makes everyone feel welcome and included. We have visited many different restaurants and this is the best. Cannot wait to return. Thank you so much Da Paolo restaurant.

It was ok. Had expected better. Felt we were rushed from starter to main but they were told to wait 5-10mins which they did. Had asked for prawns to come without shells, bur, they were served in their shells. Service was good.

Great food and great wine. Had a lovely evening. Very traditional Italian food and nice atmosphere. Only criticism was we had 4 different waiters and waitresses serving us so were interrupted quite a lot. Eg. We were asked 3 times if we wanted a dessert!

Went there yesterday and what a fabulous little family run restaurant we found. The service was lovely, very personal but not over powering. It was difficult to choose what to eat but I’d highly recommend the Italian sausages they were amazing and portion size? Well I certainly could have had it as a main! I’d definitely return and highly recommend this superb restaurant.

Valentines dinner was great. Staff was extremely pleasant and welcoming, atmosphere was lovely and service was top notch! 12oz Scottish steak was great. Very nice and tender. Only thing I didn't like is the bland cooked vegetables served with any dish, but I find it to be same in most London restaurants. Perhaps I just miss rich taste of Mediterranean veggies. Will come back here for sure!
