Second time in a week and both times have been really good. It’s a very place, the staff are fantastic and the food is great. My only concern on my last visit was I ordered a cheesy garlic bread but a plain one came. I told the waitress it didn’t matter and we would keep the plain one but it was a bit bland and dry so I should have sent it back and I’m sure they would have sorted it out easily enough. Other than that one small matter I would wholeheartedly recommend Paulo Gianni’s for any occasion.

Overall, my visit here was excellent. I mark down the ambience as the music was just a touch too loud, making it difficult to hold a conversation. Other than that the Food was Fantasic and the service was first class. Will definitely visit again.
