Da Paolo

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.

Nice friendly Italian restaurant in central london. Decent portion size and fresh ingredients meant it was a tasty experience. Recommended and I certainly will be back again.

everything was just great ! the food, the service, the location and the athmosphere ! very good address... i will come back as soon as possible

Great food, great service & a cute setting. We will be going back for sure! Oh and they gave us a shot of lemoncello for free

great service and lovely food , The selection of dishes was great. Only issue I had was cost of wine. Family orientated restaurant which had a great feel.

Rather old fashioned. Food was reasonable but not very memorable. Felt like an Italian restaurant from the 1970s and food was slightly of that era.

The food is excellent and the decor is delightful. Prices are reasonable. Service is quite slow when it is busy but everything is freshly cooked. My one complaint is that I was not allowed to book a particular table on the ground floor, was made to go downstairs where I was told it was less noisy, and it became extremely noisy. Perhaps they are more accommodating early in the week. If not...

Very authentic Italian eaterie, very good meal. The service was just perfect. For starters the minestrone soup was very hearty, and for mains I recommend the tortellini. Top class little place

A great little restaurant. off the beaten path in Charlotte Place. Intimate setting, attentive staff, wide menu with fabulous food and wine. Don't miss it.

Good food slightly on the pricey side. Though servings were plentiful. Small restaurant. Would have been cozy but service was rather grouchy verging on the unpleasant. Probably wouldn't go back.

Great restaurant, nice service and excellent food. Totally recommend it. I am a regular customer and it is always nice to go back to this restaurant.

V.good service, waiters, and waitresses very prompt. The quality of food is spot on, with not too long of a wait, ambiance is romantic and soothing. Overall good quality affordable Italian restaurant.

We had a lovely long Mothers day lunch here. The staff were great and the food delicious. We will definitely go back again very soon.

Wonderful local restaurant Good portions Decent wine list I still enjoy dining at places that have proper tablecloths The staff are friendly The lobster pasta is excellent !

Overall we enjoyed the early evening meal after a visit to a theatre. One moan though, the fixed price menu on the back was just for 4 people but there was 8 of us. Spoke to the manager but was told it was the rules but couldn't explain why it was the rule. In reality the dishes could be ordered off the main menu and there wasn't much difference in the overall price. Shame that this slightly irritated us all. I would suggest you have a separate fixed price menu that you don't give to parties of grater than 4 to avoid this situation or preferably scrap this silly rule.

As always, the food was great and service spot on. Other diners just a bit loud today. Not really the restaurant’s fault! Always a great lunch.

Went to Da Paolo to celebrate my 60th birthday. It is a small establishment but with a lovely atmosphere and very friendly and efficient staff. The food was excellent and reasonably priced for London. Will definitely go there again when we next visit.
