Wow. Just...wow. unbelievably good. We shared several things, and all were spot on. Best pasta I have ever had. It was cooked perfect. A very nice setting. Service was great and personal. Kind of felt like family. Must have the focaccia bread. I think it falls down from heaven every morning.

We went there during lunch hour on a Thursday, the restaurant wasn't so packed. The friendly -presumably- chef greet us from the open kitchen. We ordered: Bruchetta Pan Santo which was surprisingly huge in size, they were too salty so we …

We were there with the larger group. Unfortunately the service was fairly bad and the food was even worse.
We had to wait ages for food to show up. The pasta they gave us was undercooked. Later they brought meat, which when they were trying …

Tried the "3 course" lunch platter and felt underwhelmed. I'm sure the main menu would be better. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff though.

Want to share my experience at Paesan - both my starter and main course - delicious. Recommendation for my red wine was superb. Cannot fault my dessert either! Great service and value for money - location very convenient too. Will …

The place was almost empty. The waitress said it is going to take 15 minutes for the main dish. It took 45 minutes to get a (bad antipasti) cold starter and additional 45 minutes to get the main course. Some of the dishes waited 15 minutes …

Fantastic food! The arancini was crunchy and cheesy and the gnocchi was perfect. Left a star off because it smelled moldy after being there a while.

Amazing food...particularly the warm mini pistachio doughnuts for dessert! Service was a little slow but we weren't in a hurry and everyone was pleasant.

Had an absolutely amazing lunch - it was delicious and very filling together with a very good glass of wine. The service was excellent too. Wanted to try a tempting dessert but couldn’t manage this time! Finished with an excellent cappuccino. I would highly recommend this charming restaurant to all Italian food lovers.

Slightly disappointing. The menu looks very interesting but the pasta is not great and it is generally overpriced for what you get. The service charge is included but the service is not good either. I think you usually get better if you …

Nice italian eatery that never disappoints, with some interesting local specials that periodically change.

4 people on our group ordered on of the specials lamb chops.
They had a strange smell and tasted awful. When asked by the waiter how is the food we told him and his response was that the chef said it tasted fine.
The rest of the food (pasta) was average at best. You're better off with supermarket bought sauce at home.
Avoid!

Good selection of wines and food. No pizzas here though if you're expecting given its an Italian restaurant.
The starters were really good, had the burrata with wild mushrooms and the gnocchi with walnuts - both …

Well after a disastrous attempt at a "local Italian restaurant" (see other review poster earlier), we found THIS PLACE. Total opposite:
Welcoming, friendly staff that we're attentive, entertaining and informative. Good food. Good wine. Good music. Great waiter. Good time. I hope to come back. ????????????

Always delicious pasta and the arancini and burrata are amazing. They also have a stall with two pasta dishes each weekday lunch on Exmouth Market. But the bill always seems to turn out an edge higher than you'd expect for the amount you eat when dining in.

I was very underwhelmed by this place. Waiting staff not switched on, cocktails lacked effort, and the food looked like it had been thrown together. It tasted OK, but what I make at home tastes OK too.

Pasta wasn't cooked properly, sauce had no flavor, service was random, staff were rushed.
Read other reviews about it being great so I'm not sure what happened when my party tried it.
Won't go back.
Another poncy hangout.

Please check your prawn risotto. I had it and I have been throwing up all night and I am in pain
(along with other symptoms of food poisoning...). Please check that risotto, or better the prawns. Worst food poisoning so far. I was there on thursday night and I was in excruciating pain on friday, saturday and sunday.

Pasta sauces are delicious and staff are very kind. But my pasta was really hard, even though I like it al dente. And that was after I was served the wrong meal!

A poor starter was followed by a terrific main however the service was very slow, even in a quarter full restaurant, and throughout our time there not a single member of staff asked if we would like anything, check everything was ok or came to take away the plates until we asked for the bill.
For the price you might expect a bit better.
