Da Paolo

Always great food. And the host is a lovely guy too. Big portions if you're hungry and, if you're not, share a starter!!!! Limited outdoor seating on a sunny day is a bonus .....

staff excellent, food out of this world and really nice atmosphere. We booked on the day and found the staff really polite and helpful in explaining the menu to me and my family. recommend it to anyone. thanks again Da Paolo

The restaurant was far to cramp, it was so hot it put you off your meal. So a meal for 2 cost just over £70 and we didn’t eat most of it!!

Excellent food and wine, great service, authentic atmosphere. Almost impossible to make a choice from the menu. Really enjoyed our visit and will most definitely return.

Although small, the restaurant offers a wide selection of excellent food and provides excellent service. We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely return next time we are in London.

The food was amazing, portions so generous we couldn’t eat it all even though it was all delicious. Serving staff were very friendly and efficient.

A little gem of an old style Italian restaurant. Lots to choose from on the menu plus a specials board. All reasonably priced. Food was delicious, staff are very friendly and lovely coffee! Didn’t feel rushed to finish our meal - not a fan of places where you feel you need to be in and out within an hour! It is a small restaurant so best suited to parties of 1-4.

Warm greeting, excellent glute-free pasta, excellent pasta sauces, anti pastis and d’onces. Risotto was a bit watery and over cooked, however. Stick to fantastic pasta!

total lecker! verstecktes Juwel, das ruhig und bescheiden war. Durch die zentrale Lage ist das Restaurant von allen Sehenswürdigkeiten aus leicht zu erreichen, aber dennoch mit einem Gefühl von Nachbarschaft. Unglaublicher Service auch. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Lovely restaurant with great, very friendly service, amazing food and wine, we felt like we were on holiday, we will definitely be returning and will recommend.

Excellent restaurant.,with very very generous portions. It has great Great service and pretty reasonable price. I would recommend it highly Thanks and enjoy going there.

Lovely little restaurant in central London - quaint, friendly staff, cosy atmosphere, good wine and delicious food - all you need from an Italian restaurant! Would highly recommend for a date night, a catch up with friends or family get together

The staff there is very attentive and on point the food is very tasty and freshly cooked you know it’s done from the chefs heart I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone , great place to eat .

Although small this restaurant is a real gem. The food is excellent, the staff welcoming, the ambiance lovely. We could almost have been in Italy!

The service was very efficient and the staff friendly. The food was very good and tasty with good portion sizes. The meal was also very good value. I would definitely recommend.

All the staff were very friendly staff and good service. Food very good, deserts excellent. Comfortable surroundings with a relaxed ambiance. Overall a very good Italian dining experience

Incredible food, wonderful atmosphere, very friendly staff. I can't wait until my next visit here. I had a special request to make date night with my girlfriend a bit special and the staff were very accommodating.

Great food but thought the drinks were expensive good service would go there again and not drink so much. Don’t need a starter mains are big

Large portions of authentic Italian food... Mama Mia! Friendly and helpful staff. We all had starters and main, but none of us could manage a dessert

Da Paolo never fails to deliver. Excellent food , service and the jovial Carlos. Situated in a busy side street with plenty of outside sitting. A winner.

We booked a table to celebrate a special occasion. The staff were welcoming and attentive. There were plenty of dishes to choose from and a specials board. I had a large caprese salad followed by pappardelle all'anatra. The pasta was fresh with a large portion of duck sauce. My husband had bresaola then wild boar pasta. The portions were generous leaving no room for desserts. We thought our meal was good value and we would definitely return.

70% of this establishment are local Italians, so the good is as expected to be of a high quality and standard, it is off the beaten track with only about 5% of tourist do not low standards here at all. Super dry bottle of Pulia wine complimented one of the most amazing Italians meal we have had in the UK. Freindly, at tentative and happy owner and staff. Big thumbs up 100% recommendation and will definitely be going back and taking others with us.

This is the third time we have eaten at Da Paolo, for both lunch and evening meals. Excellent food and service as always I would highly recommend it.

Sensational, absolutely amazing; quality, service and authenticity all 5 ⭐️ I will be going back here time and time again. Thanks for an awesome night 👌🏽

Excellent service and food! I'd certainly recommend a visit here and will most likely be revisiting in the future. Authentic Italian food with very friendly staff!

Da Paolo is a great restaurant with a good atmosphere. The food is excellent as is the service. The staff are also very friendly. Recommended.

Great find. We have been here before. Cosy upstairs and room downstairs. The service is excellent and the food? Well, the portions are amazing and the tastes wonderful. Dinner for three (bread and oil, starters, mains and one dessert) with a bottle of wine for £150 including service is just about right. A definite recommend from us.

Authentic Italian restaurant with brilliant food with good quantities and typical Italian friendly service. We will certainly visit again next time we are in London.

Fantastic, authentic Italian atmosphere. Good sized portions of high quality food. Waiting staff friendly and attentive. A perfect place to meet with family and friends

This is a great restaurant, the staff are very friendly and welcoming, the food is great and very large and tasty portions! Location is very central!

Genuinely fabulous. A real, homely Italian treat. I would happily recommend for anything from special occasion to a get together with friends. I will be back...

Great little Italian place - love the shrimp! Decent wine.

Amazing food! Amazing service! Small restauanrant in a little alley making you feel like you’re actually back in Italy. Great place for a little meal with the misses.

Very nice food! Very nice staff! Worthy every penny, lovely quirky area in Fitzrovia with lots of local bars in the area for afterwards :)

Delicious food. Friendly service. Highly recommend. I wouldn’t hesitate to eat there again. I am now typing just to add more wires so that I can post this review.

Intimate classic Italian restaurant, providing both excellent quality food and equally good service. Staff are friendly as well as efficient. The tiny kitchen manages to turn out some perfectly cooked pasta dishes, we also had great grilled beef and good value wine from good makers We liked the fact that the tablecloths were laid with linen, the ambience lively but not too loud. Good value in the middle of London

Very good food and excellent service. (I could have done without the background music; but it was not as a loud as in many restaurants these days).

Booked this restaurant for my birthday. 9 of us dined downstairs and had a very good meal with great service. Our waitress and her assistant (in training) were very attentive. The food was delicious, particularly the Burrata and all pasta dishes. Looking forward to returning

A great authentic Italian restaurant, tucked away on a quiet little street. Lovely friendly atmosphere and staff. Delicious food with a good range of vegetarian options. Also have gluten free pasta and will even prepare a pasta dish on request if you don't see what you like. Easy walking distance of the West End so great for pre-theatre dining. Prices pretty standard for London. A real gem, definitely be going back.

Very welcoming, great service with lovely food. So much to choose from will go back again to try other dishes! Remember to book though as a small intimate restaurant.

Really lovely restaurant. The staff were very friendly and the service was excellent, we were really looked after. The food when it arrived was great, with generous portions. Would definitely recommend it, and will go here again.

As always Da Paolo was splendid. Great food served by attentive, lovely staff. Would highly recommend to anybody Can't wait for our next visit here.

Located on a traffic free street. Good all round experience - food, service & ambiance. Small family friendly restaurant with plenty of choice on the menu. Will go again.

Fine Food, maybe too big portions, but delicious. Service was Excellent. Nice place, and you CAN get an italian brandy (a bit too small) to you coffee. Remember to book in advance.

great food, extremely attentive staff (not pushy or in your face). great surroundings - authentic family Italian! A firm favourite, hence going there for over 10 years.

Food and drinks were delicious. We were placed on the basement table and felt like no one remembered to check on us and we were waiting long time to be served.

Fantastic food, good service in a lovely rustic Italian Restaurant. Just what we were looking for instead of a big chain restaurant. Would go back

Delicious food, very friendly, attentive, and accommodating staff. Was there for a business dinner and sat in the basement. It was possible to have conversations despite the restaurant being full.

Staff is welcoming and the food is yummy too. However, I find the taste of the white wine is a bit blend. But is is hided gem for the local.

Excellent food. Very large portions. Great ambience and atmosphere. A little gem in central London but don't go there if you don't want to hear the conversation at the next table as it is cramped but do go there for the food! We loved it. Try to get a table on the ground floor not in the basement.
