It was ok. Had expected better. Felt we were rushed from starter to main but they were told to wait 5-10mins which they did. Had asked for prawns to come without shells, bur, they were served in their shells. Service was good.

Great food and great wine. Had a lovely evening. Very traditional Italian food and nice atmosphere. Only criticism was we had 4 different waiters and waitresses serving us so were interrupted quite a lot. Eg. We were asked 3 times if we wanted a dessert!

Went there yesterday and what a fabulous little family run restaurant we found. The service was lovely, very personal but not over powering. It was difficult to choose what to eat but I’d highly recommend the Italian sausages they were amazing and portion size? Well I certainly could have had it as a main! I’d definitely return and highly recommend this superb restaurant.

Valentines dinner was great. Staff was extremely pleasant and welcoming, atmosphere was lovely and service was top notch! 12oz Scottish steak was great. Very nice and tender. Only thing I didn't like is the bland cooked vegetables served with any dish, but I find it to be same in most London restaurants. Perhaps I just miss rich taste of Mediterranean veggies. Will come back here for sure!

Fantastic restaurant with a great atmosphere and even better food. If you're there as a big group it might be a little cramped as the tables are close together but the staff are so helpful I'm sure they'd work it out.

A traditional Italian restaurant; small and cosy. Not busy when we arrived (2pm) but got full. Service pleasant and efficient. Food very good - try the duck main course! Good vegetarian options and good-size portions. Had a bottle of the house red - soft and smooth. Quite expensive.

Fabulous, fabulous food, a great wine list & a truly Italian attitude to ‘the dining experience’. One of my favourite restaurants anywhere, always a pleasure to visit & always astonished at how consistently excellent the food is. Proper grown up portions, served with pride & a wonderfully diverse menu. Nothing but love for all of the staff, front of house & in the kitchen.

Although small this restaurant is BIG on service, ambience and food with a good (Italian) wine list. It never fails to impress. I have taken many friends along and every one of them has loved it. Congratulations Da Paolo, even on a busy Thursday with Christmas parties booked downstairs you still managed your usual impeccable standards of service and food. Thank you. I'll be back John

A very enjoyable lunch at Da Paolo. The service was friendly and relaxed and the standard of cooking above average. The wine list climbs quickly - we enjoyed a nice bottle of red at £40. At £150 including service for 2 this is was not an ever day lunch though about right for the quality and area. We will return.
