"Like many restaurants in Italy that count on a number of regular customers, this place has fixed price menus and no matter how much you eat, you will end up paying the price you had agreed to begin with. Do not expect to be seated and read a menu. The waiter is going to tell you what is available on that day. We had a greed on a 35€ per person, and that is what we paid, even though 3 of us did not even have fish dishes. As we arrived, we were served the appetizers, which where all quite good (I did not like the squid, but I think it is a matter of personal taste). We had the house white wine to begin with, which was so so, and ended up asking for a bottle of a better wine. Once we were done with the appetizers, we had pasta. I had the spaghetti with mussles, clams, bottarga and saffron and they were truly delicious, my sister and my mom had the ones with tomatoes, shrimps and clams, and my father and my sister 's fiancé had the spaghetti with ricci di mare (a local specialty). First of all, the portions are HUGE. My portion of spaghetti would easily feed 3. EASILY, and it was meant to be for one. Of the other spaghetti, to be honest I have had better spaghetti with ricci di mare. My mom makes it tastier. By then, we were full, so we only ordered a portion of grilled shrimps which passed my father very high standard, and fried calamari. I did not try any of that, I was too full by then. We then had coffee and sweets. And, as I said, even though 3 of us did not have a seafood main course, we paid as if we did. All in all, the food is very good and fresh, but the pasta portions are too good to make sense. My suggestion is, if you are booking for 5, just ask for 3 meals unless you all have a HUGE appetite (many people in there were actually quite fat haha). As for the service, it was ok do not expect a posh restaurant where you can go on a date. This place gets crowded and loud! Service is quite fast, but because tables are a bit tight, waiters do not serve in the proper way ie removing plates from the side but rather from the front."

Da Paolo was perfectly located on our way to the Airport. This nice Restaurant offeres good Seafood to very good prices. The seafood Spaghetti was unexpected delicious, service is great and prices are very reasonable and fair. Highly recommended!

overall good, fresh fish and cooked well, excellent mushrooms and efficient service. . only new: now too narrow opening, at 13 or at 20.30 is too late, typically the services start at 12.30 and at 20, also for those who do not eat fish there is not much choice indeed very little, but a starter a first and especially the seconds would be to increase, not everyone loves the fish.

great restaurant where you can get the typical dishes of curly cuisine, presented in a very elegant and refined way. wide range of local fish, always fresh. wide range of quality wines. very friendly and kind staff, which makes you feel at home. easily reachable from every part of the city and especially for those coming from outside the city, as it is just on the arrival of two important roads like the SS 131 and the SS 125. large parking available in front of the premises.

We were here on our trip to Sardinia. Friend of mine have been here few years ago and he recommend us to visit Ristorante Da Paolo. The first good impression was when we saw the huge showcase with fresh fish and other sea creatures. We could choose, which fish we would like to taste and all of them were so fresh. But it was only the start. Meal was fantastic: starters, pasta, seafood, wine, special Sardinia cakes! (By the way they have great assortment of Sardinia wines). Atmosphere was very pleasant, all the staff so polite and friendly. I felt like i was there not for the first time but like a family member. To sum up it was the best Italian cuisine I have ever tasted! Totally recommend
