Paesan

Warm welcome, great atmosphere, helpful staff, amazing food. Portions aren't huge so go the full three courses. Can't wait to go back. Give it a go!

Delicious food, attentive staff and great decor. Will be going back.

Great welcome. Delicious food. We really enjoyed our meal. We would certainly come again and definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys beautifully cooked Italian food.

Great service in the cocktail pit and restaurant! Delicious food. Will visit again

Everything was delicious and authentic. Generous portion sizes and great atmosphere.

Fantastic food - pappardelle with beef ragu was sublime! Proper Italian gelato for dessert - loved the pistachio flavour! Great atmosphere and staff really friendly. Will definitely go back!

It's a very nice place, the food is really good and not overpriced. The service is warm and professional. We will definitely go back soon.

Delicious, italian food cooked to perfection. Friendly, attentive staff. Very reasonably priced.

Really great atmosphere, friendly staff, well priced and delicious small plates and a good selection of wines by the bottle or carafe - i would recommend for a romantic meal or a dinner with friends.

We had the lunch menu (2 courses for £9) Great, speedy service and the food was delish. Excellent value for money!

A great value menu is strong on wholesome and hearty dishes that are a bit different from your standard Italian restaurant fare. Perfectly cooked handmade tagliatelle with wild mushrooms. Great mussels, and fantastic fries with gorgonzola and truffle oil. Staff all very friendly and helpful. And Bitters and Rye downstairs turns out to be one of the best cocktail bars around.

Very nice atmosphere and great food! We had the pasta specials as well as arrancini, Parma ham and burrata tonight - all very tasty. Also, the staff is super friendly and they have a cool cocktail bar downstairs if you fancy some more drinks after your dinner. Third time there for me and definitely not the last!

Very good food, service improved over time, but still things they can work on. Not receiving menus within first 10 minutes of arrival seemed a rather basic thing to forget.

Amazing traditional food and great atmosphere and lovely service - highly recommended

The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and our large table of seven was easily accommodated. Thank you very much for a great dinner with excellent service!

Great meal. Went with 5 friends and the service was really friendly, the waiter helped us out by suggesting a load of tapas style starters and talked us through the menu. The food was excellent. I will definitely return.

Amazing service, delicious, speedy food, lovely ambience, very good value. I'll definitely be back!!

Cold draft everywhere and kitchen smell like a KFC. Very disappointed.

Absolutely gorgeous food. Service was excellent and reasonably priced. I would recommend the ricotta cheese x

Food was EXCELLENT and at a great price, ambiance was great. Had a fantastic Valentine's Day. Only issue was our drinks came just after our main course.. but they were all made free. Very great experience; can't wait to visit again.

Wonderful as usual! I would avoid the desserts if I were you, nothing special

Really nice staff and food! Special attention to appetizers. We choose also 2 bottles of red wine, both good ration between prize and quality. Nice pleace

High quality, fresh, rustic Italian food. A small menu but with plenty of variety. Great atmosphere: nice, airy place and the most charming and helpful staff.

Nice but a mistake to have the Christmas menu up and then tell the customer that she couldn't have it!

Great food, good atmosphere and vibe, service could have been quicker / more attentive. Food I had - parmiggiana starter, risotto main. Very tasty, free bread was a nice touch. The serving staff were very polite, but we did feel the length of time between being seated and having our drinks and food orders taken was rather long, especially considering the restaurant was not too busy at that point. We attended here for lunch at 12:30 on Friday 12th December 2014.

Great food, friendly staff, I will definitely come back and I've already recommended it to friends.

Delicious food, good service however am not a fan of communal tables.

Great food and good service. Excellent pasta and a good atmosphere.

Are you looking for quality or quantity? Paesan does them both extremely well. Highly recommend the burrata with aubergine caponata. Polite and fun waiting staff. A truly rustic Italian experience.

The menu doesn't have too many options, which is always a good indication. Indeed, you can tell the food is fresh from the day, it's simple but really good and tasty. And the whole thing in a pleasant atmosphere/decor. Oh and did I mention how incredibly cheap it was ? Staff is and service is excellent, quick, efficient yet relaxed and smiley. Will definitely come back for more

I highly recommend the pumpkin tortelloni - it was exquisite. Great atmosphere, food and wine.

A Good old Italian food, friendly staff and fair prices

Great italian restaurant. Food is excellent and the staff is very friendly

We had great food ( my steak was just perfect), also service was nice and very efficient. Thank you for pleasant experience. We will come back for sure.

Simply lovely food good value and lovely staff. Always feel really welcome and they are so accommodating although not a real regular. Go for the Vongole or meatballs as they are our faves. but I'm sure every dish is of the highest quaulity.

Really tasty dishes and good atmosphere - just moved to the area and have been a couple of times already

This is the second time I've been to Paesan having initially hesitated because of the Observer review but the service has been extraordinary both times, and the food is simply excellent. I've now had the mussels, the tagliata steak and watched two different dining partners devour the papardelle ragu. Highly recommend the sicillian white (recommended by the waiter) and if you're feeling totally indulgent - a side of french fries cooked in truffle oil with a smear of dolcellate will be the best cheesy chips you've ever eaten.

Classic dishes well done, in a relaxed funky setting. Reliable for quality ingredients and authentic delivery.

Excellent, imaginative food with a nice range of fresh specials and a great wine list. Food that would be considered good in Italy! Friendly service.

Excellent food and service and the atmosphere and music was great I will return possibly for our company's Christmas party in early December, if not before.
