Paolo's Italian Kitchen

Paolo's Italian Kitchen is a lovely local restaurant with large portions of excellent food at fair prices. It looks like the bread basket is popular and the chips (french fry style) were some of the best we've had in a long time. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere which can get a bit loud due to the hard surfaces, but it is convenient for a meal before a filming at Elstree Studio.

Attentive staff, crisp clean decor, good varied menu. Welcoming ambiance.

My friend and I visited this lovely restaurant and we had an amazing time. Food was fantastic, staff very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend

The menu isn't huge, but the food was very nice and served hot. The service was good and the waiters helpful.

Food was authentic and delicious! The decor was modern and inviting!

Excellent as always, great waiting staff, food, drinks and atmosphere. dessert with candle on for Hubby's birthday, and singing & playing Happy Birthday as it was brought to the tables. The Italian cocktail is a must.

Quality food. We had 3 courses each and a bottle of wine. We were so stuffed that we had to skip breakfast the following morning. The service was outstanding. By far the best restaurant in our area by a country mile. All for the very reasonable price of £97 .Worth every penny. Next time we go out for dinner we will be coming back to Paulo's.

Good local restaurant. We each had main course of chicken schnitzel and spaghetti pomodoro which was delicious, well presented and piping hot . Also had lovely homemade tiramisu to follow . Only negative was their wine which I returned and had a beer instead! Service good .

Exceptional food, great service, amazing atmosphere. Truly one of the best, if not the best, Italian restaurants I've ever been to.

Fantastic, delicious food, but it was very noisy so difficult to hear others speaking. Waiting staff looked rushed and made mistakes - like not ordering a starter for one person, but it was soon rectified.

Wonderful evening - fab food & great service , as always

Always a pleasure to dine with you. Staff are delightful and nothing is a problem. Food absolutely incredible as always. 🥰

Lovely fresh pasta and great pizza. Both myself and my 4 year old loved the orechiette which had an amazing tomato sauce. She can be a bit fussy, but almost cleared her plate and I was more than happy to finish the little she couldn't. Always room for dessert though and we shared the chocolate brownie and some cannoli to finish a lovely meal here. Coming back here next time we're in Borehamwood.

Lovely food as usual. Great service and very friendly staff.

An excellent St Valentine lunch. Paolo’s Kitchen always serves up delightful food and the service is impeccable,

Just LOVE LOVE LOVE this place, highly recommend to everyone!

A lovely evening celebrating two family birthdays. We had the lovely large square table for 7 of us which was perfect. The waiters were lovely. Food was delicious and we all had a great evening.

Fantastic food! Staff were amazing! Definately will return, best italian around.

Was disappointed as had v good reviews of the restaurant. Husbands liver portion was v small. My risotto was just ok . Best ting was the derests which were v good.

Food was lovely, but unfortunately the service wasn’t great. None of the waiters checked on our table for ordering. We had to call them over every time we wanted to order or ask for something. A real shame as the food is good, the service needs to be the same! Pay attention to your tables.

Delicious food. Portion far far too small for the ravioli.

Always great food and service 👌. Amazing Prawns & panocotta

So good to be back The food quality is exceptional as ever

We had a lunch for 8 people with varying appetites and requirements, and ordered quite a range of dishes. The food was all well-prepared and - despite the variety - served out in a well-coordinated fashion. Some things are clearly a bit anglicised: the order of dishes on the menu is odd, with secondo before primo, and the ratio of ragú to pasta was quite high. Several of us ordered the tiramisú and reported that it was very good.

Unfortunately Paolo wasn’t well and so there wasn’t a Sunday roast choice but we all had great meals from the regular menu. Looking forward to the roast menu on another Sunday. As always we were looked after really well and the food is excellent

Amazing place, food was lovely and service was great. Def recommend

We were really impressed, staff and food were very good. Thanks for a lovely meal!

We've been many times and the food and service is consistently excellent.

Excellent quality food, great Italian taste and polite staff. Delizioso

It was lovely. Everyone was accommodating and enjoyed a lovely family meal.

Love Paolo's, food is always first class and the service friendly and attentive. Can't fault the place at all.

Friendly service and tasty good food . Would return soon . Enjoyed our evening

A nice restaurant, a very good atmosphere and good food, reasonable value for money too. We would definitely go back again.

Local Gem, been a few times and each time same high standard.

I highly recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxing. It’s the perfect place for a special evening.I will definitely come back to try other dishes on the menu.

The food was excellent, and the staff stood out for their kindness and professionalism.

The dishes were delicious and beautifully presented. • The ingredients are fresh, and you can feel the attention to detail in every bite.

Absolutely pure Italian delicious food. Finally some premium & real cuisine in Borehamwood. Much appreciated.

Food was absolutely incredible. A must to visit if you haven’t been

Lovely atmosphere great service & excellent food. We will be back! Thank you.

Really good quality and tasty food, with very good service.

Great food and atmosphere at Paolo’s for Xmas dinner ! Value for money as we are stuffed !

it was really nice and very good quality food also

Excellent authentic Italian cooking, Great service, too.. Can recommend this local restaurant .

It would have been nice to get a friendly welcome & a smile wouldn’t go a miss. We had to ask for some condiments as nothing was offered to us. My friend & I were out for a Xmas get together & unfortunately we didn’t enjoy the experience. Food was lovely..

Paolo’s never fails. It is a constant to be relied on to deliver delicious food with professional friendly service in comfortable surroundings. A firm family favourite any day of the week. Thank you for another great night out for all of us.

Excellent quality as always, starters in particular are must haves

Brilliant food and service, great atmosphere and ambience good value
