This place was very nice indeed. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful and welcoming. Me and my wife Wendy visited on the 6th of June and it was Wendy's birthday and our anniversary so...it made it even more special. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone thinking of visiting 😊More

This place has a chocolate soufflé on their menu which we ordered I am coeliac so can’t eat gluten but know soufflés are made with egg whites and are naturally gluten free. When it came out it was a chocolate pudding made with flour I...told one of the staff i couldn’t eat it so he took it away and the next minute one of the other staff came over not sure who he was but he was an arrogant idiot who thought he was right and was not listening to what I was saying as to you can’t advertise something on your menu and it not be what your saying it is. So very rude and would definitely not return to this restaurant.More

The service was absolutely great. We sat outside at night and the waiters provided us with blankets in case we were cold. The food presentation was great. Pizza is very recommended

Our first time here but would definitely return. Good value and delicious pizzas. Lovely place if you just fancy a pizza/ bowl of pasta and a glass of wine.

Very nice dining area outside but the food is not worth trying. Pasta are not fresh, Pesto sauce store bought. They claim to do a traditional carbonara but they use fresh cream. Menu is outdated. There are way better options for Italian in the city....We saw a waiter taking our parmesan from our table and giving it to the table next to us.More

I had ordered several times from This restaurant and used to be one of my favourites. Last night i ordered through foody for delivery (as usual). This time the food was delivered and was completely spilled in the paper bag. The delivery guy had left...so i contacted the restaurant. Their reply was: what do you expect us to do? Its not our fault. Contact the delivery service, i cant help you. I was totally disappointed and frustrated. I managed to find the deivery service contact details (after about an hour - it was 23:00 in the evening) who offered redelivery or a refund. Needless to say we wont be ordering from this place again… they took our money and didnt bother help us resolve the issue. I understant it may not have been their fault (no clue what kond of arrangement they have with the delivery service) but I expected a bit of sympathy and to at least ty and help.More

The food was above average, the al fresco atmosphere is great, but the service is consistenly bad. Basic things such as bringing new wine glasses for new type of wine were not provided.

Went there for dinner but it was definitely not a pleasant experience as they gave us a table under the delivery pick up counter for no reason! We asked to be seated somewhere else since most of the other tables where empty and they ignored...our request multiple times. Bad service. Never again.More

Da Paolo used to be one of my favourite restaurants for many years. However, as I hadn’t visited the restaurant for more than a year, I was very eager to dine there again. So last night I went with two friends and was very dissapointed....Unfortunately the food varied from acceptable to horrible. We were served a moderately tasty meat dish and a tasty but very oily Lasagne. Myself, I ordered a seafood pasta (Frutti di Mare) that I had had there many times in the past and it was always very good. Last night, the dish was so horrible that after trying 2-3 bites I didn’t want to touch it no more. Returning a whole dish was a first one for me. Surprisingly, the waiters simply collected it and did not even bother to ask why it was untouched. For dessert, we had a poor chocolate Soufflé, which was actually a lava cake and a Millefoglie, which was admittedly very tasty and balanced. The Millefoglie and the starter (Bruschetta Rustica) were the only dishes we really enjoyed. Overall, the service was very poor. There were plenty of waiters, polite and seemingly willing to serve but apparently amateur. - They kept pushing us while trying to serve the adjacent tables that were literally stuck next to each other (no safe distance according to the pandemic situation whatsoever). - Very soon after having served the appetizer, they came hurriedly to gather the appetizer together with our dishes, because the main dishes were already prepared. Even though we were clearly not finished, they leaned over the table to gather everything and we told them to leave them for two more minutes. They insisted because the main dishes were already taken out of the kitchen and they had to be served immediately. - They did not bring or ask whether we required any Parmesan along with the pasta. We had to ask them to bring some. - Neither did they offer to pour some pepper on the pasta (as is customary). We asked for some pepper and they brought a dirty pepper mill, which we dared not touch. - Apart from initially serving each of our glasses with a minimal amount of wine, they subsequently did not bother with the wine at all. They just left the bottle by the side of the table (in a bucket), with a towel next to it. - We asked for some napkins and they brought us three napkins folded in the special napkin container. Upon unfolding one of them, to our shock, we observer that it was oily and contained crumbs and sauce. Clearly, It was previously used, however it somehow ended up folded and given to us to use.More

When the waiter collected the dishes fool of food didnt even bother to ask why we didnt eat and if something was wrongMore

Is this an original Italian pizzeria? the pizza doesn' t say that. Compared to a Cyprus pizzeria it is not bad but compared to an original pizzeria in Italy it's mediocre. I ordered a ''Di buffalo'' pizza with the original Italian spicy salami. The pizza...was in general too crusty and dry, the salami really felt like the one you buy at the local supermarket, nothing like what I expected, the buffala mozzarella ( not buffalo!) also did not impressed me. They don't have liquors or at least they said so to me. Premises are not so cosy as they look in the photos. The service was good tough it was a very quite evening, but I would not return nor recommend the placeMore

Waited 70 minutes for the first one in our party to be served. Orders came out in an inconsistent manner with the 4th person in our table served 20 minutes later. Food quality was substandard with poor quality ingredients, (rucola, Cheap so called Parmesan cheese...etc), All Pasta dishes were served with a fork and a knife. We did not order Pizzas so no comment can be made for those. Despite our Repeated complaints to the staff the Manager was pathetically standing behind the counter enjoying his own dinner. The only thing that was served on time were those with the highest profit margin, I.e., drinks. Overall, the only resemblance to an Italian restaurant is the restaurant’s nameMore
