Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. A little taste of Italy, would definitely come back.
The food, ambiance and hospitality were amazing. This my second time at De Paulo’s and it didn’t disappoint.
Excellent food and excellent value. Each time we come down from Scotland we eat here. Very generous portions and a lovely atmosphere. We really recommend this restaurant- go on, eat here!!
Consistently perfect. The best Italian restaurant in London that I have been to.
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!
Amazing food and lovely, friendly service! What more could you want? Ample portions and truly authentic flavors made this the best Italian meal we’ve had in England. We will definitely be returning.
Hinestly the nicest, most picturesque and most beautifully designed italian restaurant ❤️ Nothing compared to the quality of the food, which is simply put, OUT OF THIS WORLD 🥐
Great food in generous quantities, friendly staff, cozy environment albeit slightly loud - definitely get what you pay for though in terms of quality of food and service.
Great restaurant with lovely staff. They always make me my pasta dish which is amazing! They always make people feel welcome! Thank you Carlos and team!
Went for a Valentine’s dinner and it didn’t disappoint! Was a really nice authentic Italian reatuarant. They even gave us free dessert for just moving table, which was really nice of them. Definite recommend
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!
Excellent authentic Italian. Lovely atmosphere with good food. Gigantic portions. Good location just off charlotte street in fitzrovia. Service very attentive. Prices are not too high.
Very nice food, staff are very friendly as well. Recommended
Lovely traditional Italian restaurant. Nice and cosy feel to the place, great date location. The staff were all really friendly and attentive. The food was also very good, nice big portions! I would come here again.
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.
This is a great restaurant. Nice friendly staff and good service. The food was lovely. The restaurant was clean and cosy. I would recommend. Yes nlt downside was the way me was pricey by the glass
Always a great experience here! London as it used to be... and at its best. Great, traditional food (and generous portions!) and fab service. Intimate, too. Highly recommended.
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.
great service, good portions, really tasty food with good ingredients. ordered the bruscetta, three portions of pasta (brocolli et fungi, spinacci et ricotta, and funghi et truffa) and one dessert. 70£ in total(including service)
Very homely with amazing traditional Italian food and big portions. Amazing place, very rear find for London, would deffinetly recommend if you are looking for a cute place with great food.
Was amazing food and a great atmosphere, portions were massive but as it was so delicious we ate ever last bit. Staff were friendly and attentive considering how busy they were. Will definitely be visiting again and bringing friends !
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.
Really delicious, excellent food. Also the staff is very experienced and they provide really quality service. It is quite small place but it has really warm and nice atmosphere.
Great food and friendly, attentive service. The restaurant itself is a bit cramped as very small premises but it I think it adds to the ambiance. Highly recommended for any occasion.
Lovely Italian restaurant with great staff, excellent food and wine. Main course portion sizes are generous so be careful when ordering side dishes. Highly recommend.
Great service and great food been to Da Paolo 5 times now always a delight. Service is always great from the moment you walk in the door and the food is fantastic.
Authentic, sweet, atmospheric and lovely food. A little tight for space, but otherwise lovely. The customer service was excellent and we would definitely go back again.
Wonderful food, amazing service, very friendly staff. Fairly priced too - the portions are massive. Lovely and warm atmosphere, just like you’d find in small Italian village restaurants
Da Polo is a lovely intimate restaurant with friendly staff a great Italian food. If you haven't been, then do go and check it out. I would certainly recommend it.
Always a lovely experience at this intimate Italian restaurant serving excellent food. We've eaten several times now and always great. Will be visiting again soon.
Fabulous cosy restaurant. First time dining here and not disappointed. Extensive menu choice, big portions and the perfect venue for a family get together. We loved everything about it and will be back. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
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
Fantastic experience: great food and good size portions, professional and friendly staff, a gem of a place. We will certainly recommend Da Paolo to friends, and go there again.
Wonderful service and great food in a cosy restaurant Highly recommend this great Italian in a quite location 5 minutes walk from Google st tube
Excellent food & service. Would definitely recommend to family, colleagues & friends. Great location easy to find & within easy walking distance of the underground station Goodge Street
Ambience and staff are superb. Unfortunately food is not. Very old fashioned.. as an Italian I can say there are better options in London..I would not go back
Fantastic meal and atmosphere service was excellent. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The staff looked after us very well and the standard and quality of food was first class.
Amazing food and excellent service! Nice atmosphere and very cosy. The staff were very polite and eager to help. Their tiramisu is heavenly! Definitely becoming regulars
We had a great time in this restaurant. Good service and good food. But it's too much food for us. I hope that there is 2cource menu in this restaurant.
Nice to celebrate another family birthday at restaurant Da Paolo :) looking forward to be back next year, hopefully. Cannot go to London without a visit at Da Paolo.
A nice, small and intimate restaurant serving very good food. Not cheap but you got value for money. And there were white cloth on the table.
Great location for our group of 9 in Charlotte place friendly staff and huge portions of lovely food loved the pasta olives and focaccia bread
A wonderful gem of a restaurant. Food was incredibly tasty and fresh and the service impeccable. Bookj to avoid disappointment as it's a small restaurant and very busy!
Amazing food as always with generous portions. However the staff could of been a bit more friendsly but I guess that’s the Italian way. But I already know what I’m going to try next time, lobster linguine as it looked amazing!!
This is my fourth time and as always the food and service is impeccable I would definitely recommend this restaurant others just and great wine too.
The staff were friendly and efficient, and the service prompt in spite of the restaurant being full. The food and wine were both of excellent quality. We really enjoyed the evening!
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.
Fantastic food and such a welcoming service. Busy but we did not feel rushed. Great wine and attentive staff. Best Italian restaurant in London! We’ll return soon.
