Da Paolo review by Basement Maxx
We visit London once a year, for a weekend and a special evening meal, and based this year's choice on the excellent reviews. As we entered, we thought what a lovely cosy atmosphere there was, so this was a good start. The menu looked interesting too. However, the food we chose was just OK. The dishes were what I'd expect from a cheaper, chain of Italian restaurants, not a central London one. We are no experts on Italian cuisine, but do visit Italy once or twice a year, and the dishes had none of the subtlety that they should have had. Instead, they seemed to be over-sauced and stodgy. Another thing that slightly tarnished the evening, was that the waitresses were Scandanavian, and although friendly, didn't have much knowldge about the food being served. If you do go, upstairs had a much nicer ambience than the basement.
