Good atmosphere and excellent food. Unfortunately the restaurant was a bit understaffed or just not as organised as it should be. The waiting time for the drinks , starters, mains was took so long. Other than that it was a good experience.
food was very average and it was really noisy! Wouldn't go again.
Slow service, took almost 90min for starter&main. Quality was average.
Lovely restaurant, relaxed friendly atmosphere. Suitable for all ages and groups or alone Food very good and service was excellent! Will definitely return soon.
The food was mediocre and really over priced for the portion size. Had to ask 4 times to get some tap water and paid £20 for 5 pieces of pasta.
The food was delicious, but the service was disorganized and our orders were slow.
All good! Food was great dessert was amazing! Chocolate cake!
slow service but great great food, i would recommend if you are not in a hurry
Nice food. Good atmosphere. Slow service. Menu a bit confusing as main dishes are starter size unless you take the +£5 option
Great food!! I love the pastas and such a warm venue!
We had a lovely Saturday afternoon lunch with 8 people. They gave us a table in a separate area so we had lots of space, good service, and of course the food was great too. Nice and relaxed!
Lovely atmosphere, great service, and food was delicious. Highly recommended for couples, groups, singles and young or old. Lovely restaurant. Close to hotels and worth the 5 min walk.
Paesan is an excellent restaurant, good atmosphere and even better food. We went for a birthday celebration and they did everything right and even sung happy birthday!
Amazing and lovely place. The food is so tasty and I would definitey go back more times. The service is very good too and the location is great.
Lovely restaurant, lovely staff. Had a great time. Can recommend the butternut squash carpaccio. Though perhaps not the pistachio icecream served with Amaro montenegro. That was a bit odd :)
Service a little slow at the start... but then all was good and food was great! Affordable too! Meatballs and polenta was proper comfort food.
It was pretty good. Here are some utterly pointless filler words to get to the minimum required in order to post this review. Good night.
As always, super food and great staff. The menu had changed since the last time I was there but still very good. If you are looking for authentic Italian food with decent wine and great service, Paesan fits the bill.
I've wanted to come here for years as I'd heard great things about it. Food had a good standard with some outstanding (beetroot salad w/ goats cheese) and the staff was friendly and helpful. A negative was the atmosphere, it was quite empty in a big place as we went really early (pre-6pm). Would go again.
The food here is always great. The portions do seem to be getting smaller though! The service is friendly but can be a little slow.
Great, attentive service. But unfortunately the food was very average. the arancini was stodgy and the pasta dishes was undercooked. The meatballs were dense and dry.
We had a very relaxed Sunday lunch for a party of eight. Friendly service, the food was simply presented but distinctive and good value for the quality. Would definitely go back.
Great service, food portions are generous and the menu has options for everyone. Plus, a cool bar downstairs. Very good option for dinner with friends.
Amazing customer service and incredible food. Happy hour 5-8 is also a bonus! I have been here countless times and highly recommend it to all my friends
Nice atmosphere but the portion size seemed to be smaller then previous occasions. We were sat in the draft of the door even though we were one of the first tables to be seated and had reserved weeks in advance.
Great food and a lovely atmosphere. The staff are really friendly and quick service, exmouth market is a lovely location and this place still stands out.
Paesan is a very nice place, with good vibe. The food is pretty good as well as the wine list. Special note for the very kind staff.
Fantastic low key authentic seasonal Italian food, in a buzzy neighbourhood setting. Great value for money. The perfect comfort food Saturday treat. We love it here. The Resturant isn't huge so always best to book ahead for weekends.
Excellent and attentive service, but without unnecessary fuss. A really nice negroni. Regional food specialism keeps the menu dynamic and interesting. The best of Italian food.
Great meal from a really interesting - I guess very authentic - menu, nicely introduced for us. It's a great location too, and isn't fazed by competition on Exmouth Market. I highly recommend it for a lunch or dinner that stimulates the senses.
The best peach Bellini and Tiramisu I've had to date! The staff are constantly roaming and are always at your beck and call. The food is incredible and the menu changes seasonally. Will be going back again soon
Fantastic food and staff. Our issue was that the service was very slow when out for an hour lunch break. Great change to menu too
great food immaculate service plus wonderfully atmosphere highly recommended a+
Excellent food, felt as if I was in Italy and very friendly, efficient service. A little bit of Italy in the middle of London. And nice that there are outside tables too.
Food was really good and the atmosphere was great too, although a little bit too noisy. Service was prompt and pleasant. We shared antipasti and small plates and each plate was creative and tasty.
As always, great straight forward regional Italian food. Friendly and enthusiastic staff. And happy hour cocktails. Good for vegetarians too. We will be back again soon.
Service was really slow and I feel they were understaffed at the restaurant. Perhaps even just one other waiter would have improved the service massively.
Very good food, the Calabrian month was perfect, as I'm in love with N'duja. Staff was friendly, all dishes well received and in good time. One minus point for having to pay a deposit of £50 when I booked a table for 12 people. But then again, that's probably fair enough.
Good wholesome food, service was good and the staff were very nice. Portions were good and we were both left feeling full after dessert !
Cosy place in Exmouth Market - perfect for a rainy day. The arancini were rather disappointing and lacking in flavour but the rabbit parpadelle and meatballs were great!
