Amazing food and service: true Italian place. We went there on a Saturday and it was a bit loud (as the place is small): maybe reduce a little bit the number of seats?
I was delighted with my choice but my wife felt hers was not particularly tasty. The atmosphere and serice was very good and the price reasonable.
Great food and really good service. We had a party of 8 and everyone loved their meal. The portion sizes for the set menu (for four people) were very generous! Highly recommended.
Party of four ate on a Saturday eveining. Our table was downstairs which was quiet att he beginning but as the restaurant filled up had a great atmosphere. Service was good and our servers were very jolly. Quality of food was excellent. Wine was a little on the expensive side. Great restaurant off a small side street. We will use it again
Cosy restaurant tucked away from the main streets. Menu has wide variety and specials were available. House wine is good quality. Staff friendly and efficient, whilst no attempt to rush.
Great food, great wine, great atmosphere and wonderful staff. We had a lovely evening with our friends and we will all definitely coming back again.
Absolutely delicious food and friendly staff. Just can get a bit noisy when is full as the tables are too close. Apart from that, absolutely recommend it. Truly Italian experience!
This is one of our favourite restaurants .....everything about it is excellent. Carlos and the team provide supurb service, the food is outstanding , brilliant atmosphere. We have been visiting this restaurant for years, and are never disappointed
We booked the table because of the good reviews and a lot restaurants are closed for Sunday dinner. We loved everything of our evening: the warm wellcome, the attention we received from the owner and his staff, they helped us to make the right choices from the menue, the food was excellent and delicious, the place is not big, but the interior and the atmosphere is great! We highly recommend the restaurant for authentic Italian cuisine and we shall definitely come back.
Thank you so much for a fantastic evening, lovely staff, atmosphere and delicious food! Made to feel very special for my birthday - will definitely recommended,
It's a nice place and good experience. A bit pricier than I expected however it is in town. Was easy to book online. Not easy to get on wifi there..lots of questions on app form collecting data. could be streamlined?
Friendly service that was not overbearing. we had a pasta and risotto dish; both were lovely. I would highly recommend the tiramisu, as it's the best I've tasted outside of Italy....possibly as good. Lovely evening. Thank you
Found this restaurant through TripAdvisor and wasn't disappointed. Small restaurant with the family atmosphere . The buratta app and classically made lasagna were very tasty. We had a group of six and five out of the six really enjoyed their meal. We come from New York so we are very spoiled
A very buzzy Italian restaurant. Huge portions, homely cooking, friendly and professional staff. The home-made pasta is excellent. Good value and a great evening was had by all.
It's a tiny restaurant, decors remind of the most famous italian actors and the atmosphere is warm. Service was ok but not exceptional. Very good food but the garlic bread was inedible. Good selection of wines.
Great food in a lovely atmosphere. The staff were very attentive and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. The tortellini and gnocchi were perfectly cooked and tasty.
This restaurant's location is ideal. Very hip, vibrant scene. When you enter there is a sense of warmth and cosiness. We had a nice table (business dinner), great wine, outstanding food and very attentive service. There's an upstairs and downstairs seating area. Food was very fresh. Pasta was done perfectly. Highly recommend this place!
Really nice food. Restaurant had a good authentic feel, staff very attentive. Place is quite small so not a huge amount of tables. Would happily recommend for people wanting an Italian in London.
This restaurant does every single thing extremely well. Would definitely recommend, visited after theatre matineè & before catching train home. Fitted the remit perfectly. All food ordered was of exceptional quality.
Excellent food, great service! Family dinner and we were well taken care of. Would like to go back when in London next time. Special diet requirements was not a problem:-)
A wonderful restaurant. Great food, friendly service and a cosy atmosphere - one could not ask for more. I would certainly recommend Da Paolo for lunch or dinner!
Love this restaurant. Great atmosphere, friendly, genuinely attentive staff and a superb menu of delicious dishes. It takes ages to decide which to have! Thoroughly recommend.
Love this nice, little, cosy place in Fitzrovia. Good Italian food. We have been there severel times and will be back next time we visit London.
Great service and the food was delicious. Space wise it’s on the side but it’s full of character. Highly recommended Italian restaurant, we’ll be back
You were sick your tuna was banging and your pasta was on another level bruvvvv and the wine was booom tinggggg rama dama ding dong
I have been to Da Paolo several times and the food and service are always first class. It was recommended to me by my old boss and I would recommend to anyone wanting some great authentic Italian cuisine.
The food was good. The service was not as good as last time we went, we all found most of the staff a bit brusque.
Everything is right: small but cosy rather than cramped, lovely staff and the best food outside of Italy - better than much inside too, come to think of it. Very reasonably priced plus a selection of wine by the half bottle
Was OKish, is small place and is actually very cramped, having to move tables just to get out to go to the toilet. Staff seemed a bit detached, didn’t ask much about whether we enjoyed the food or not. That said, the food was generally of a high standard, most of ours was really good, but don’t go for the duck, was incredibly tasteless. For the money, I would look elsewhere.
Love this restaurant. They are always friendly and the food is great.
Seated in the basement; loud music deafening; extremely annoying dinner guests next to us; waited ages for the bill to arrive; couldn't wait to get out.
Food great, great value had the set menu good choices. Service good and very friendly. Great time with family. What more is there to say
Truly divine! We had a lovely meal, nice wine, great service. I have eaten here previously and brought some colleagues with me to let them try and they loved it.
Beautiful little restaurant tucked away just off Charlotte St - an Italian gem. Great atmposhere and attentive staff made the visit really enjoyable. The food was excellent and Portions sizes were ample
Excellent food, service and ambience - we had a fabulous time at Da Paolo - looking forward to our next visit - a great find!
Great food, very well cooked and presented and great taste. Cosy interior with good ambience even though a Sunday night and less than half full. Will definitely revisit.
Lovely Italian food very good portion sizes the tiramisu was delicious so leave some room for it. The staff were very friendly and welcoming would definitely recommend
Great food and service and we sat outside on the cobbled street, so we felt that we were dining al Fresco in Italy itself :)
WE had an excellent meal - the Prawns with Chillies was superb and the calves liver literally melted in the mouth as it was so soft. Would highly recommend this restaurant.
Excellent restaurant. Good freshly cooked food. My roasted salmon was delicious. The staff were very friendly. Attractive place. I liked the yellow roses on the fabled. Would certainly recommend and hope to return.
Lovely little bustling Italian, friendly staff and one of the most delicious tiramisu's ever tasted! Very busy on a friday lunchtime which made it a bit squashed but a good atmosphere.
I have been there 3 times and the experience has always been great. Fantastic food, warm and pleasant staff and wonderful surroundings. I hope to get there soon again and can recommend Da Paolo to everyone. This is my favourit restaurant in London and my overall favourite Italian restaurant.
Great, home-cooked Italian food. Nice big portions and lovely service. It also has central London prices but I don't mind. I love coming back here again and again.
Service charge £10 when we weren't given a menu and had to ask for drinks. Food was nice but starters were quite expensive , £9.99 for a prawn cocktail.
Friendly and engaging staff, lovely food and not too expensive. On top of that, the location's brilliant too! Highly recommended for lunch or dinner. Do it.
Excellent food and the service was friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere. Would definitely come again next time we are in London. A really nice meal.
A lovely restaurant, very cosy, very friendly and welcoming staff. There was a good choice of food with more than enough on the plate. Price was reasonable and will definitely go back there again.
Great service, the staff was attentive and helpful. The starters were very good, but the meat second dishes were quite average and not very impressive.
lovely food, great service - we had a meal here with friends before going to the Dominion Theatre a short walk away - definitely recommend!
This restaurant is authentically Italian, with a great atmosphere and excellent food. Special good mark to their tiramisu, which was just as you want it : not too sweet and the mascarpone is as light as a cloud.
