Paolo's Restaurant in Ealing

This is one of my favorite places in London. Ella, the waitress, is the kindest. Food is amazing and portions are big hearted. I totally love it!

Very good experience, we went for a dinner 4 people. The selection of wine is very good, We had starter and main course, real Italian recipe. The service was fantastic. Thank you

After having visited in 2022 (original review below) we decided to take another visit to Paolo’s for my daughter’s 3rd birthday meal as a last minute decision. Unfortunately we were severely disappointed, not by the food which was delicious, but by the service and the attitude of the staff. We spent close to £100 on a starter, 3 mains, 2 sides and 3 drinks, which we likely wouldn’t have minded if we were made to feel welcome, however the waiter was incredibly dismissive of our children, refusing to reciprocate a wave to my 1 year old who spent most of his meal trying. We witnessed the same waiter being incredibly friendly with other tables, but barely uttering two words to us, not even to wish our daughter happy birthday despite being around our table when we sang to her. We unfortunately won’t be returning. 2022 Review: A lovely family run restaurant, where we were made to feel very welcome. The food was delicious, and apparently before we arrived Paolo was doing card tricks with our family at the table. Will definitely be visiting again in the future!

Not as good as it used to be. How on earth Italian restaurant can serve frozen pizza…… crazy…. if you can’t make it yourself take it off the menu. The pasta with seafood also wasn’t that great. Disappointed with food quality.

We visited for lunch on a weekday. Good menu and reasonable prices. Street parking available nearby (pay by phone or app). Attentive service. Great tasting food and drink. Would return if nearby again.

One of the best places! Food delicious and all homemade 😋 Staff extremely friendly! I'll definitely be back soon.

Too expensive, pizza was frozen. Food was MID

We found the food to be good with large portions, good flavor, very good service. Very reasonable prices and very close to the hotel where we were staying.

Sadly this place has gone down hill. It used to be a favourite of mine. We should have known something wasn't right when we arrived just before 9:00pm on a Saturday night and it was empty. They have changed the recipe for the spare rib starter. They used to be served in a delicious tomato based sauce, but now it's some rather nondescript BBQ sauce. The lasagne had very little meat in it my veal was ok but a side portion of pasta in tomato sauce cost £6.25. The three dishes plus a bottle of wine cost nearly £100. We won't be going back.

The service is excellent. And the food is good, especially the pasta.

Service was okay, portions were much too small and you could see pizza and lasagna being taken out of the freezer and tasting accordingly. Lasagna wasn't warmed up properly inside.

Very good restaurant, very good place, absolutely delicious pepperoni pizza!

Nice service, nice place, good simple Italian food with no frills. Plus good wine, useful after a hard morning while traveling. Prices are average, but it's London, after all, close to a decent hotel. I recommend

It was an Italian restaurant in a remote location, but it was a pretty good restaurant 🍽️ I recommend it. The service was served by what appeared to be the owner, and the taste and atmosphere were very good. First I ordered bruschetta and minestrone. was delicious. I thought this was a hit 🎯, so I added pizza and shrimp and was satisfied. This is a highly recommended store.

its our first trip in london/UK and found this place near our hotel. even at first look at the place that you can expect a very cozy, family friendly restaurant. we were greeted with smile and felt very welcomed as if you're visiting a family's house. their food is really good and reasonably priced. we wish their business to prosper and will definitely visit this place again to our future trip. thank you so much! --- mac and family

Very welcoming and kind staff. The dishes I chose were all very delicious. I recommend!

I was fortunate enough to have dinner with my family two nights in a row. The atmosphere is great, the staff are polite and well prepared, the food is spectacular and the restaurant owner is super friendly and welcoming! I recommend the good experience to everyone!

the food was very tasty, the staff was very friendly.

Friends get together, good food, food cocktails and cosy atmosphere. Service with a smile!😄

The veal milanese is amazing, great service, Mimo is the best!

We wanted to try something close to the hotel after a long day in the city. From the outside it doesn't really look like an Italian but we still wanted to give it a chance. If the food and wine is good, the ambience bothers us less, as we often know from southern countries. I come from Berlin and almost every Italian there has better food and even this is nothing compared to Italy. Bread is part of every appetizer there and is not charged extra at £3.50. The wine was ok but nothing special for £30. The lasagne was too small for £15 and just ok. The service was nice and we would have given more stars, but we paid £90 for everything and in the hotel I noticed that we were charged an extra £14.50 for spagetti Bolognese that we didn't order. I went back, people were surprised even though the restaurant was almost empty when we ordered. No sorry really and only gave me £14 back, hence our poor overall rating all in all…. Never again.

Such a cute little place, seems to be family run. Everyone was so kind. The food was delicious and of a sizeable portion.

We had the most amazing experience at Paolo's Italian at the start of January. I was working on a job in the local area and the team wanted to have a crew dinner to celebrate the final shoot day. After seeing fab reviews online, I decided to phone the restaurant to see if they could seat our large group for the following day. I spoke to Paolo directly and he was so accommodating, especially as it was a last minute request to feed 20 of us! There was no restriction of what we could pre-order from the menu and on arrival, the food, service and atmosphere was incredible. Considering the variety of starters and mains we requested, there was such little wait time and everything came out piping hot and full of flavour. I had the Spaghetti Al Gamberoni for my main course and it was delicious!!! The ambiance was also lovely and the staff were so attentive and great to chat to. So pleased that we found this gem of a place - we will definitely return again for a crew meal! Thanks so much again to Paolo and all the staff for welcoming our group. I couldn't recommend this place more!

We will definitely return to this wonderful restaurant. The waiter and the owner have been very pleasant and everything we have ordered was delicious. A very calm environment. I recommend the meat lasagna.

Had a meal here last week with 5 colleagues. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was good abeit a little on the small side. Fried scampi (8 pieces for 14.50), The only minus for me was the bread, coming from someone who spends a lot of time in Italy and LOVES bread from all over the world, I was expecting a bit more than a tesco baguette as a side :-( It states freshly baked but it wasn't, maybe you ran out of bread but I was disappointed. I think price v quality was not on par with what I was expecting. Glad we ordered starters as the main was not so filling. Best part was the crunchie cheesecake.

Very nice cosy small place, nice portions and definitely good food. The pepper steak(little expensive )was so so nice and the pasta as an appetizer was pretty nice as well. If you are at the area it is worth a try.

It was a very pleasant experience. We highly recommend the restaurant! The staff was very attentive, special thanks to Zeferina for her kindness! Greetings from Madeira Island.

Went recently for a meal with a friend thinking why not cute little restaurant close to home. We had 2 pizzas and a salad. Salad was not fresh and pizzas not made on premises but bought, which is very unusual for Italian restaurant. Each was £15 so well overpriced for what it was. Will definitely not return to eat.

Siamo andati due volte in questo ristorante. Abbiamo provato diverse portate e si sono rivelate tutte all'altezza delle aspettative. Porzioni molto generose, e condimento adeguato. Il servizio è stato veloce e cordiale, Mimmo ci ha fatto sentire a casa.

The only place in London where you can feel in Italy. Service very attentive and nice food. I highly recommend

Excellent atmosphere. Don't order pizza, it definitely comes from Iceland.

The best food and the best service ever! Would highly recommend

Delicious food and amazing service definitely go here

While staying at a hotel nearby we found Paolo's by accident and so glad we did. Both times we dined there the service was excellent and the food was excellent as well. If we lived closer this would be our favorite go to restaurant.

I lived near this restaurant and therefore I went there for dinner with my family almost every day. I liked everything: place, food, people working there and atmosfere. It’s the restaurant of Italian food which was delicious and, what’s more important, healthy. More often I ordered lamb, ribs, diffident varieties of pasta and lasagna, salats, the dessert tiramisu. Comparing with other restaurants we’ve visited in different parts of London including its center, this restaurant has more economical prices in addition to good food. Especially I would like to note that very nice, pleasant and professional people are working at Paolo’s restaurant. Mimmo and Emily will always meet you with a kind smile and serve you a good meal making your day better. To tell the truth, my family and I didn’t even want to visit any other restaurant during our 2 weeks stay in London.

Great food, great service! We would visit again, check it out! Greetings from Germany

Excellent Italian Cuisine. We’ve eaten there twice within the same week while staying in Ealing. Outstanding Service!!!

Of je zit te eten in Italië zelf, net een stukje Italië in Londen. Eten was echt voortreffelijk, niks op aan te merken.

It’s been my “go to” Italian restaurant for last 20 years. The new owners have continued to provide good service with great quality food. Thanks for tonight and making my birthday a joyful one.

Lovely staff and a great family atmosphere. Every dish we had was delicious, particularly the carbonara and the polla montegrappa! Great prices for London and for the quality!

Food was absolutely hideous! Was disgusting

Sorry but overpriced spaghetti bolognese salty...deserts way too expensive...wine must make 200 percent profit 30 pounds for two glasses !! ....central London prices for park royal restaurant....

Exceptional!!! We had our civil wedding reception at Paolo's restaurant recently. The food, service and organisation was outstanding. Many thanks to Zefferina, the restaurant's owner for helping us to have such an amazing time with our friends and family. Highly recommended 💯

Absolutely amazing and tasty delicious food, very knowledgeable and welcoming service and atmosphere

Don’t look further than Paolo’s! The team are friendly and offer speedy service. Family atmosphere for all occasions. Delicious food right next to Park Royal station and all the hotels. Highly recommend the spaghetti bolognese and white chocolate cheesecake.

Amazing restaurant! Super friendly and attentive staff. Very reasonably priced. Caters well no matter the occasion. Highly recommend and will be returning.

Beautiful family run restaurant! The food is absolutely amazing and the staff are so friendly. Would definitely recommend and will be back soon

Lovely restaurant with delicious food, amazing service from our server Emily! Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere

Amazing place and delicious food 👍🥰

This restaurant has to be one of my favorites, if not my favorite restaurant in London. The food is just fantastic. The Spaghetti Bolognese, Garlic Bread, Lasagne, Sea Food Linguine just WOW! The Service is very attentive and friendly and we are always greeted with a big smile from the owner. The price is very reasonable and the portions are huge! Oh, and the Tiramisu is out of this world. Can’t wait to go back!

Our food was top notch, I had the calf's liver which was cooked perfectly, two of my group had steak and both were cooked exactly as they wanted, the starters were amazing and the deserts were mouth watering, it wasn't expensive and the staff were extremely caring and polite, we will definitely be returning

Gusti familiari e porzioni abbondanti, consiglio!

Personale cordiale, Mimmo è stato gentilissimo e ci ha consigliato bene,ci siamo sentiti a casa,abbiamo gustato una buona lasagna , spaghetti alla bolognese e tagliata di pollo. Lo consiglio vivamente

Don't come here for a spagehetti bolognese. Comes out in 2 min. Microwaved. Very salty.

Food, atmosphere and especially the service was just amazing. Thank you!!

Very small portions, cold mashed potatoes, expensive, average dishes and friendly staff. This is how I would explain my experience in short.

A cute family run restaurant, I’ve been disappointed by their pasta Alfredo a couple of times but am a big fan of their crespoline, so I’m still making my way around the menu. Considering it’s an Italian restaurant, I hoped the desserts would be a bit better and the Parmesan fresh.

Been going to this restaurant for years always been very very happy but now been taken over the prices have gone crazy food is good but not for that price extortion good luck

Good food, fillet was fantastic and the hospitality was nice. Price a little bit high but quality was good enough.

Delicious local Italian, very accommodating and helpful with kids early evening ☺️

Absolutely lovely Italian restaurant. We had a great time there. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We hadn't booked but had got there early, glad we did as it got busy pretty much straight away.

Stay away from the ribs, ravioli was good, mains were OK. Staff were really friendly. No candles, flowers, bread for the table or background music. They add their service charge to the bill so we didn't want to tip extra. We did have a good time though.

The spagetti bolognese missed the tomatoe sauce, it was sadly sitting in a bit of water, dry minced meat with the cheapest pasta. Did taste like a free school meal in my childhood and was way too expensive for that. Mains don't include a side, that is an extra - which would be okay if fairly priced, but no. Food is served faster than in McDonalds leaving you wonder what sort of microwaved wonder is coming out. Coffee was very good quality and service is also great, sadly ruined by the useless chef. About 4 times overpriced for what it is, sad disappointment overall, worst Italian experience by far in the UK. No joke, it is way worse than the usual wannabe italian themed UK restarants that you normally expect around London - leaving you wonder who gives 5 star for this?

Super restaurant ! Nous avons manger des pâtes dignes d’un restaurant italien , la serveuse était très gentille et faisait tout pour nous comprendre malgré notre anglais médiocre 😅 Je recommande vivement ce petit restaurant bien sympa !

The food was a touch on the mediocre side ,but only because the dishes were prepared in more of a British style than traditional Italian style. The food was still good and the staff was incredibly friendly and warm. I also loved that they serve tagliatelle (an egg based pasta) suitable for those with gluten allergies. I would definitely recommend if you're in the area.

best chicken steak with mashroom i have ever had. wallah super tasty and nice. also stuff very friendly and understandable for muslims believes

I had a lovely experience here a couple of weeks ago. The Owner and the Staff were so friendly and kindly with us. The dinner was so delicious. I really recommend this restaurant. I can’t wait to come back again.

Amazing and yummy experience with a warm welcome by the hosts. Nice place, nice environment.

Pretty decent Italian joint with yummy fare. The Sicilian house wine was delicious.

The Staff is friendly, thats why I give 2 stars. The restaurant is kinda "worn Out". The food is as italian as the moon is the earth. It was not made with any entusiasm or any spices at all. I don't get all the good Reviews at all.

If you booking a table for 12 people, and after apetizer , starter, main and desert you are still hungry its something wrong with the restaurant. Literally no one was happy and dont want to come back. Very little portions, which means not worth the money especially when prices are not low. 18pounds for 6 little prawns and 1 leaf of lettuce is a robbery to me. Tiramisu was nice, but was the smallest portion i ever had in any italian restaurant. Big dissapointment, dont want to come back, not worth the money we have spent. For anyone who wants to go there expect to spend at least 40 pounds per person but you gonna end up hungry.

Had some expectations about this place, but its a disappointment. Some dishes not available from the menu, very small portions (3 slim slices of meat as a main doesn't look well), after starter main and dessert I was still hungry. I don't see any good reason for coming back although there are much better places in London. If you want to spend 70 pounds for 2 people dinner its no point for choosing this place. Such a shame.

A hidden Gem behind the station, lovely food, very warm and friendly Staff, we had an awesome experience.

Hmmmmm Staff very nice BUT food very average (i thought London food had got better?!). Many items not on menu, but peas (frozen?), mushrooms (canned?), creme brulee not homemade (just been unfrozen?) - very bland and average food. Maybe stick to the pasta as its an Italian after all. We didn't .

Lovely place and staff. Most importantly fantastic food. Already booked our second visit.

Visited this restaurant for an 18th birthday dinner for my daughter and my family. We had wonderful food, brilliant service and a fabulous atmosphere. Definitely made the experience for my daughter memorable!! Thank you and we will definitely be back.

Lovely Italian food! The staff is great, the food is delicious and it's really affordable! There are limited tables though so booking a table is advised. I really recommend going here if you are in Park Plaza Royal since it is so close by.

What an excellent find. Just round the corner from the tube station. A warm, friendly welcome; excellent food & service. We were a party of 14 & nothing was to much trouble. Would highly recommend. X

Homely food served with a smile and few magic tricks by uncle Paolo😁

Lovely Food Lovely atmosphere Great friendly Team Simply "Class" 👌

Fantastic food and lovely service. Easily the best ambience in the area!

Our second time there and again we are very happy. Delicious food and lovely staff. Highly recommend!

What a lovely experience at Paolo's we where suppose to visit before lockdown. Then my sister suggested as not too far so we could have Proccesco, lovely warm welcome & food was yummy with warm bread, small bowl of spaghetti to start and my Veal as a main. What makes the restaurant is the staff, they are so polite & attentive and even gave me a free desert 4 my birthday. As we booked last minute.🥰

My all time favourite Italian Resturant! Soooo fresh and tasty! Truly quality food. Such amazing experience eating at Paolos!

Omg, food came rely quick and was great x

We came across this restaurant because the hotel that we were staying in had reduced it’s menu and nothing took my fancy ... As soon as I saw this place I knew we were in for a treat, The welcome was warm and friendly , felt relaxed as soon as we sat down , the waiter was amazing, attentive and knowledgable.. I couldn’t ask for a more pleasant evening ... the food , well I have been to Italy and it’s up there with the best ... I love to support local businesses and the following week whilst in London again fir work we went again , this was even better ,, one thing is for sure I will eat here every time ... the owners and waiter are so welcoming , I take my hat off to the chef too ... can’t wait until my next visit , shame they don’t have a loyalty scheme ..see you soon 🥰

all dishes we ordered are derisious!!! the best restaurant near hangerlane. we recommend scampi(^O^)！

Always a friendly greeting, good service and good food.

Great food, good atmosphere and “magical” entertainment.

We eat here a lot but they now do takeaways and we had a chicken Piri Piri with fries, it was excellent. Really juicy, well spiced and wrapped up well so nice and hot when I got it home. Highly recommended and we will be supporting them through lockdown. Well done guys!

Food was ok when it finally arrived, although waiting time was a bit of a push....

Really good atmosphere and white tablecloths. Good, tasty food, casual service not intrusive.

Went there for a birthday party the service was excellent food was great too would recommend

A small Italian restaurant on Hangar Green. Great authentic food. Usually meet up with friends at this central place. Follow me @shashigossain

Καλή ποιότητα φαγητού, τό προσωπικό δεν ήταν πολύ ευγενικό

Paolo's has true to the heart Italian food that you really can't get better anywhere else in most of the UK, with original Italian recipes, polite staff and an entertaining owner with a few magic tricks up his sleeve, I would love to go here again!

Fantastic meal with friends. Veal was great. Thanks.

Excellent, will go back specially for the insalata di mare.

Food is great so are the lovely staff . I always have a great time there.

الباستا جيده جدا.. ولكن لا يوجد بيتزا ☺️ والمطعم هادئ جدا. .The pasta is very good .. but there is no pizza ط and the restaurant is very quiet ..
