The food is always first rate, the portions are generous, the value is great, and the staff are friendly. You can expect about 25 quid per head for a glass of wine and a main course. I go to Da Paolo whenever I need a nice little friendly place to have a meal: it's great both for dates and for when my mum is in town. They know me in there, and they know my rather quirky dietary requirements, and what I am going to allergic to. When people ask me what I recommend, I generally reply: "the menu". I have never had a guest disappointed with any of the dishes which they have ordered (quite the reverse). But if pressed, I must say that my favourite is "Pollo Da Paolo", which is a speciality of the house and which usually tempts me away from the other options on the menu (which I really must get around to trying one day). This is what an eatery should be: small, friendly, and with first-rate food at a price that is quite affordable.
