Ristorante da Paolo

So good I came back twice. I first stumbled upon this little spot since it’s right next to where we’re staying. I like that it’s tucked away off the main square and main street, which gives it a more authentic feel. The first night I came alone without a reservation around 8pm and was seated right away. I enjoyed it so much that I returned the next evening with my girlfriend, again without a reservation, this time at 9:30pm (waited ~5 min to be seated). The place is quite busy, so if you wish to sit outside I highly recommend making a reservation, we were seated inside on both occasions. The food is excellent and the place itself has a rustic charm. Prices are very fair, and I’d say both the quality and portions are much better than what you’ll find at the main square restaurants. The menu isn’t huge, but everything we tried was spot on. Between the two visits, we had the vongole pasta, calamari, lamb chops, mixed salad, cooked spinach, and both the house red and white wines. We were served by the same older gentleman with very short hair both nights. This isn’t the kind of place where servers are there to cater to every tourist request. If that’s what you want, you’re better off on the main street. Here, the service is polite, straightforward, and feels more like a spot where locals come to eat. On the second night, when he took my order, he recognized me from the previous evening. I could tell he warmed up a bit then, especially when he noticed I was trying my best to communicate in Italian. I also find it odd when people complain (in reviews) about staff not speaking English. This is Italy; you’re in a foreign country, so it’s only natural to adapt to the local language. You wouldn’t go to China and expect everyone to speak English. That kind of attitude is exactly what makes some places less welcoming to tourists. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food, fair prices, and a charming local atmosphere. Who knows, we might come back a third night.

Lovely Italian spot with friendly service. We had 1 starter, 2 mains, water & 0.5L house wine for €64. Great value, chill vibes & outdoor seating make it perfect for a relaxed evening

The atmosphere of the restaurant and the food was quite good, but the waiters do not speak English at all, surprising for a touristic location. The only bad experience I had was there were egg shells in my tiramisu! When I told it to the waiter, he did not even apologise, there was no discount etc for the desert, we paid the full price and left at the end. I was expecting a bit of politeness and some sense of apology, they could have at least offered a small discount or said sorry!

I’m crying. The foods were awesome and Service was friendly but the restaurant was a bit small… 10/10 🥰💕

We went without Reservation and we had only 1 hour to eat, so no starter..So we ordered only Main course. It’s quite overpriced and the taste is not so fancy

We had dinner here. Had a table outside, in the street it was nice ambience. Both servers was very kind and nice to us, food was delicious. Try salmone as antipasti.

NO WORDS. The staff was funny and kind. The food was amazing. I ordered Sardinian dumplings which is a safe option if you don't know what to take. It was really good to eat outside.

The food was excellent, and the service matched it. Our waiter was outstanding – you could clearly tell he has been doing this for a long time, very professional and attentive. I ordered beef, perfectly cooked, while my partner had an octopus salad, which was also delicious. Everything was prepared with great care and presented beautifully. Overall, a wonderful dining experience that I would definitely recommend.
