Paolo & Donato's in Liverpool

The tastiest Black Forest gateaux that I have ever had . The cherries are fresh and the flavour is amazing . The cake is beautiful and the chocolate has the correct level of snap. Highly recommended. Cake no. 11

I have been here quite a few times which says enough really. Can't fault the quality of the coffee just really wished they have vanilla syrup available to add to their coffees but I suppose they want it as authentic as possible. I have previously had their cakes which are delicious as well as their smoothies which I cannot fault either. The atmosphere inside is always lively due to it always being full inside and out which speaks volumes. The prices are reasonable but the service could be a tad better within the staff otherwise would recommend to anyone in the area.

Love their coffee especially cappuccino. Lovely pastries.

Really love the flavoured croissants here. They also have charcoal croissants. But might just be seasonal. Also, need to come before 10 or some options might sold out.

First time finding this establishment, I ordered the New York cheesecake and latte, it was AMAZING. The food, staff and atmosphere were perfect to get away from the busy streets of Liverpool for a moment. Highly recommend and I will be returning many times in the future.

I love to go there to drink a coffee at Italian Quarter, but now atmosphere there looks awful ((. The music too loud is like in a bar, the music should be relaxing and should be something Italian, or something latino how it was but not music British music !!! We are not in a pub or club!! Awful!!

only 1 out of 3 items arrived an it was complete melted mess in bag, took a very long time to arrive from ordering

Had lunch in the city centre restaurant and it was great and very reasonably priced. There were three of us. The seafood pasta was declared the best ever which was high praise. My wife had the baked aubergine which she really enjoyed and I had pasta with meatballs which was tomato perfection. The sauce was as good as many I have had in Italy. All in all I would have to say this is an excellent restaurant and I highly recommend it.

Fantastic place to take a break. Love it!!!

Great authentic Italian gelato And pastries! One of the best in Liverpool

The coffee and Cornetto were so good. The value is unbelievable. I wish I lived in Liverpool just so I could come here every week.

The food selection is great, very authentic too 😋. I will definitely come back!

Visited this bakery for breakfast, and it was the highlight of the beginning of my week. Their fresh traditional Italian pastries are divine, and their donut/ciambella with pistacchio are sinfully delicious. Already planning my next visit soon.

One of my favourite spots in Liverpool . Food prices fairly and really tasty . The patisserie side is fabulous and so is the bread . Staff always really friendly regardless of how busy they are .

Had a lovely meal at this stunning Italian restaurant. Service was prompt and the food was delicious. Definitely recommended 👌

Best after midday I love the variety of products, moreover when it comes to the vegan ice-cream (though I found the pistachio one bit too sweet), and the taste is great. And still, I believe you could benefit from training your employees better. For example, I came here in the morning for an ice-cream (because I wanted to celebrate an achievement). And the staff was a bit reluctant at first, emphasising that ice-cream opens from 10am. Nevertheless, I got the ice-cream and shared my thanks for the gesture. Still, my point is that your employees fail to embrace opportunities for business. And if they do, it's turns to be a downside (because in my case, I never felt more like a burden as a client interested in spending on your products). I hope you'll improve.

Paulo&Donato’s Italian Deli is an absolute gem in town! Their croissants are hands down the best I've ever had—flaky, buttery, and simply perfect. Pairing one with their delightful Italian peach iced tea is a treat I look forward to every time. The ambiance of the deli is equally wonderful, with a cozy and inviting atmosphere that makes every visit a pleasure. Whether I'm there for a quick snack or a leisurely break, Paulo&Donato’s never disappoints. Highly recommended!

driver went to the wrong door, but I managed to catch him

Excellent Italian cafe with a wide range of cakes and pastries

Best Italian cake by far in Liverpool

I love cheese cake and the only reason I went there is to try cheese cake. I tried strawberry cheesecake cake on their recommendation and it was not bad. In addition, I tried pistachio ice-cream which won my heart. It was delicious 🤤.

What a place. Only bought pastries but the cakes looked superb. Know where to go if ever back in Liverpool.

The food is delicious. It is difficult to find a place like this in Liverpool and surrounding areas. The atmosphere is not great with always groups of males hanging around and smoking in the outside terrace.

Good products, definitely we'll come back.

The only place I come to for Italian sweet treats is Liverpool!!!!!

Pra mim, é o melhor croissant de pistache da cidade. Eu amo sair pra ir tomar um chocolate quente e comer o croissant por lá. Só tem que ir cedo, pois acaba rápido.

Amazing coffee and food at this location ice cream to die for love it

100% perfect! Everything is delicious, fresh and very tasty - best coffee in town!

Nice place for ice creams and desserts.

Nice coffee brunch and dessert place in town! If the weather is nice they have outdoor seating as well! A good place to pop in for a coffee dessert or brunch! We have been there a couple of times and the desserts were not disappointing at all - tasted nice and fresh! They have a huge selection to choose from and also a variety of flavours of gelato on offer!

Atmospheric Italian cafe, in Liverpool;) Delicious coffee, tasty croissants with lots of cream, it's really a pity not to eat them. I recommend it 100%

We had ice cream & dessert and everything was lovely, including the staff. We spent a total of £16 on all 4 this plus a Diet Coke and it was well worth it. It was busy too so obviously it’s nice. Don’t listen to the negative Nellie’s :)

Seriously good! The new and improved Italian Quarter really caught my attention. Hot chocolates are fantastic, alongside the indulgent croissants. Not sure why there are so many harsh recent reviews, I thought it was average-priced, delicious and authentic.

Very expensive for what you get the price off dessert goes from 30£ to 42 £ for small one Crazy the girl said minimum wage goes up but didn’t go up 12£

Nothing more nothing less... Keep it up White shirts are classic, but it's nice to stop... And the service shoes... Guys in classic shoes, not sneakers... Great

Amazing ice-cream, cake and fresh juices with friendly staff and great atmosphere, would highly recommend.

Wow!! Good authentic Italian food. Will see you soon guys.

The place has a lot of food options, you need to get a menu and order at the bar and take it to your table. The pastries are actually Italian, made by Italians - which is not always a given. I was just not too impressed with the servers, they seemed a little short, almost rude at times. This is in a pedestrian area, parking not available on site, only nearby.

Great cake and coffee selection. most cakes are £6 and coffee £3.20. The only downside is that there is no coffee price menu and that the music is too loud

Very impressive, cakes and croissants are amazing and all home made, you can see the skill their chef has 👍 staff were friendly especially Rebecca and the girl at the ice cream counter. Great place for a coffee 👍👍

2 reviews as I need to review both parts of the restaurant. Hey Farina - OMG the best Italian street food in the city in my opinion. I had the Arancini and the margarita pizza, my family had the vegetable pizza and the spaghetti made with the dough bowl. All seasoned and served to perfection. Staff are very friendly and go out of their way to find you a table even when busy. Wonderful drink selection especially like the blood orange Italian fizzy drinks on offer and the sour dough - whoever is baking this deserves a pat on the back. Honestly the best we have ever tasted. Bought a loaf to bring home and it’s delicious so fresh and tasty. Paulos bakery - beautiful home made cakes. My children love the delicious gelatos. I love you can sit inside and out. Very friendly staff.

Thank you so much for delicious desserts ,extra milkshake and your lovely note xxx

Always ask for the price not get suprised at pay desk ..

Pay attention, may charge more than price label.

Always good service, delightful cakes beautiful coffee and delicious tea

Asked to clean the table no one did , the pizzetta was very very salty they should taste the food before displaying.

Ever since I first visited Liverpool and discovered this location, I love it! Friendly staff, excellent service, cakes, mmmmm 😋😋😋😋, especially Baba Rum! That's why when I come to Liverpool, I stop here at least once!

Nice staff and great food cheers

Always great food and drinks. Friendly service. Shame they allow smoking outside.

I love the cakes in here. Really good quality and fresh and perfect with a nice cup of coffee.

It used to be more enjoyable a few years ago. It has been too busy and noisy nowadays. Burdens of popularity. Good for the owners. Food and coffee are still great.

Unfortunately after a couple of very good experiences in the bakery side, where breads focaccia and pizza are really nice and staff is lovely, the cafe-patisserie side was a disgrace. Staff at the cafe bench was rude and unprofessional, the deserts are far from anything that is real Italian taste. Tables are small and you have to bring your own order at your own table so really…where’s the service? Stay at the bakery side, much better, like they are 2 separate management businesses

Love this cafe and their amazing pastries!!

We love this place, it's got great food, great service and a lovely atmosphere

it's really disheartening to see that you are giving 'influencers' (who aren't influential) who have never set foot in your place before free stuff to mention you on Instagram. Some of us have been your customers since 2012 and visit all your venues, hey farina, brunchin and Botanico yet it feels like a slap in the face that you aren't interested in us. P&D even has a big refugee customer base where these men come to meet their friends as a safe space to spend what little money they have on a coffee. I think there are more deserving beneficiaries of free food and drink from you, but your place is already popular and there is no need to give them out, especially considering COL crisis. Please don't take this as an attack as I love your products and your staff and undoubtedly have the best coffee in Lpool.

Was very busy so not sure if this was usual, but food took ages to arrive. Was delicious though

Personal amable, ambiente agradable y dulces italianos muy buenos, lo recomiendo sin duda.

Wonderful food I had the caramel cheesecake it was lush. Staff were amazing, but I found the atmosphere in the cafe side less appealing to the restaurant side. I'd go back. The hot chocolate was phenomenal!!

The man who served us was really helpful and knowledgeable about their products. Loved it! Definitely somewhere we will be going back to!

The best place to eat in city centre great menu great staff warm and friendly very helpful , If you like Italian food spoilt for chose

This was the best cafe in Liverpool but unfortunately it's very different now. We were hoping for some authentic Italian sandwiches which used to be in the display counter. Now sadly it's all cakes and you have to order off the menu. Don't get me wrong, the coffee and cakes were good but if you knew the place as it was, you would be disappointed.

You don't serve people in the queue by friends, but who is first.

Great Gelato and very friendly service

Only went for drink but staff is very friendly . Will try food next time . But from what I saw others order. It looked amazing .

Dopo un turno di notte il desiderio di un cornetto italiano non me lo toglierebbe nessuno. Se non fosse che anche aprendo alle 07.30, alle 08.10 ancora il bancone era mezzo vuoto. E chiedere ogni volta dove siano, aspettare ogni volta, rischiare di perdere il bus ogni volta sinceramente inizia a scocciare (incluso il rimanere a digiuno quando ho impegni e sono costretto a rinunciare a quel cornetto italiano nonostante letteralmente aspetto da prima che apra). Una, due, tre volte ma se devo aspettare così tanto per avere la colazione italiana al prossimo giro vado direttamete a Caffè Nero, almeno poi posso prendere il bus in tempo e continuare la giornata senza ritardi inutili.

Lovely food and service with a massive Italian smile ☺️☺️

Right in the middle of town between tiny streets. Beautiful cafe, good service and great variety of desserts.

It's a great place. We've been coming in for years. Prices are high, staff are lovely but.... The music is always so loud its uncomfortable to be inside. This is particularly difficult for people with sensory overload, hearing difficulties and children. Also the music being so loud means the staff don't always get the orders right.

I’ve been in queue for order my Italian breakfast in a quiet quick time. Arrived at the till I’ve order 1 espresso two pear juice and two croissants with custard but they’ve been as usually with no enough custard in it, when we ask if was possible to filler up with a bit more custard, the barman very gently took the croissant and he went straight away at other station bar for me. It’s not possible every time I have to ask to put more custard in it, so please member of the staff sorter out this problem for all customers

I loooove this place! It's my favorite Italian in town, the best! They got bigger! They had the cafe and the resto apart (farina) and now it's all in one: resto, cafe, gelateria and chocolateria, one beautiful big place! Cappuccino with any pastry is my go to. I still need to try their food, breads are the real ones! Thank you for existing!

Only stopped in for a coffee and pastry but pastry was very nice and authentic, some of them seem pricey but very well made. Espresso was also one of the best I’ve had so will definitely be coming back

Absolutely lovely fresh cakes and really nice staff

Omg ,this place is amazing is like being back in Italy, the choice of Italian cakes that the have is amazing and the taste is so much authentic like home.

Great food and pleasant service. I can recommend all of the cakes.

Very tasty gelato, if a tad expensive!

Nice spot in the heart of Liverpool. The place is very elegant inside and well organised. I had a coffee and tried a few cakes like, tiramisù, zeppola, tartine and almond paste and everything was delicious. I then moved to the gelato area and tried two of the premium flavours (cassata and the pistachio, almond and agrumi), they were amazing. Very friendly and polite service. Shame I didn’t try their pizza which seemed to be good too - next time. Definitely a must visit if you are in the centre of Liverpool.

Great looking products but it's not my definition of a delicatessen.

I guess now it is called Italian Quarter great pastries and cakes!! yes there coffee is defiantly Italian great place to visit

Had a lovely brunch here with friends, food was absolutely delicious. - Prices were affordable - Good portions - Not long waiting times - Lovely staff - Not too busy/packed, enough room for 4 people Ordered the 'Garden Plate' and a cannoli, very filling and well seasoned! :)

11 out of 10, a simple must for anyone who love fresh exceptional pastries and great Italian coffee!

مكاني المفضل في ليفربول فيه هبوب من الريحان و نفحات من الاناقة.... هبة من الريحان ريحة و عوق الهوي لوحده نمونا و راعي الهوي نفسه جريحة و بعض العرب مايعرفونها

We were really hungry and took a gamble on eating at Hey Farina! Williamson Square isn't really known as a hotspot for fine dining but we (3 adults, 2 teens) were happy to have our preconceptions challenged. The vibe is a bit cafe-ish but the display of Italian breads and street food was enticing. Service was cheerful, prompt and attentive. Foodwise, all the bread based stuff we had was exceptional, from the mozzarella and Parma ham panini on sourdough to the the focaccia and panzerotto. Really event. Made to order salad was good and generous. The only slight slip up was with one of the pasta dishes; the oriechette had barely a trace of the tender stem broccoli and anchovy the menu promised, but was tasty nonetheless. The ravioli with creamed potato sauce and spicy sausage was generous and delicious. When giving feedback, the owner was apologetic where necessary and was quick to make things right. Top notch gelato too. A surprising little gem in a neglected part of town. We'd deffo return. Thank you!

The best place to have a coffee, cake and ice cream!

Stayed in Liverpool, for the weekend, 18-21.aug.. Had every breakfast there. Staff is smiling and giving great service.. Food was fantastic.. Can recommend the Eggs Benedict.. Will definitely go back here for my next visit to the city Roger, Haugesund, Norway

The espresso is incredibly bitter, and the cheesecake was curdled. Not worth the price.

Great prices for great food. The staff was nice and swift. Definitely recommend!

Unos dulces de primera calidad un sabor incomparable, buena preparación de café por parte de su personal barista

Very creamy, tasty proper Italian icecream. Reasonably priced at £3 for one scoop.

Great spot for coffee in Liverpool city centre 👍🏻

Very nice Italian restaurant and deli with reasonable prices

The food and cakes are the best in Liverpool. Very friendly staff. We always look forward to going there.

Best mocha and pistachio croissant in Liverpool ! Check this place it is amazing !

Thanks God this place exists in Liverpool! Best Gelato in town 😍 Welcoming Italian hospitality and great treats! Thank you to the team and specially to the chefs!

I don't know why all the changes have happened. Place looks lovely & food delish but service is very very slow !!!! You are lucky if they get your order correct 1st time, be aware when ordering coffee, you only get half cup full, I had to ask for cup to be topped up, coffee too expensive not have proper serving, I have not been here in long time & this is last time 🙄

What was delivered was very nice, but only a fraction of what I ordered. I ordered three scoops of ice cream they sent only one tiny scoop. Feel ripped off. Pictured a whole cake, so I ordered that. Did not get even a slice. Was sent crumbs - literal crumbs, I’m not kidding, in a jar with cream - which is NOT cake and certainly not the cake pictured. Very unhappy. I’ve requested a refund, certainly for the two scoops of ice cream I paid for and did not get. No answer when you ring that restaurant. Delivery was fast and the Rum Baba was gorgeous, so the quality of food was great but, for the above reasons, I feel ripped off.

Nice place for a coffee with dessert

P&D, an Italian cafe, is a haven for dessert enthusiasts seeking authentic and mouthwatering treats. Their delectable desserts capture the essence of Italy, while their exceptional coffee completes the delightful experience.

Most delicious pistachio gelato

Absolutely gorgeous food and friendly staff.

The place just seem to be getting better the more they grow and expand. I find myself coming back over and over and I never leave feeling disappointed. The staff are very lovely and fun and the place is always booming with customers and lively. The selection of desserts is absolutely astronomical and they are all to die for.
