The food was absolutely fantastic! Came here for a birthday treat while away for the night, and it didn’t disappoint. Truly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Staff were also very friendly and welcoming, and they even kept the kitchen open late to make a banana and custard calzone - highly recommended!

We live far from Paolo’s — we were just looking for an Italian place in the area, and we’re so happy with our choice! The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portions and incredible hospitality. Honestly, everything you’d want (and love) from Italian food! Wishing the team all the best — highly recommended! No photos... we ate everything too quickly! It’s a five Big thank you for the owner and his boss

Paolo’s Italian Kitchen – A Must-Visit! We had an amazing lunch at Paolo’s Italian Kitchen in Borehamwood! The food was fresh, flavourful, and authentically Italian. From the starters to main course everything was outstanding, and the dessert was the perfect sweet finish. Service was friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A true gem—we’ll definitely be back!

My husband and I had an amazing meal here on Friday evening. The food was outstanding, the ingredients were fresh and of amazing quality. I would absolutely recommend dining here, it’s been the best Italian I’ve had in a very long time. The dishes were beautifully presented and a good portion sizes. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming and the decor is lovely. The next time we’re visiting the area, we will most certainly be returning as I have to try the pizza

At Pablo Italian Kitchen in Borehamwood, the food truly speaks to the chef’s passion. Every dish seems crafted with a love for authentic Italian flavors, and when a chef pours heart and soul into what they do, it shines through in the taste. For someone like me, who doesn’t easily dish out compliments to a chef unless the food surpasses my own (and I’m not even a chef!), this place has been a delightful surprise. The flavors are rich, balanced, and memorable, making each bite a testament to the chef’s dedication to his craft.

If you're looking for a cozy spot in Borehamwood with delicious Italian food, this small restaurant is a hidden gem. Compared to others in the area, it stands out for both its quality and atmosphere. The art deco decor adds a touch of elegance to the dining experience, making it feel special yet relaxed. The pizza and pasta were absolutely fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and well-crafted. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. Highly recommend for a casual yet satisfying Italian meal!

We loved dining here. The Italian food was authentic and super tasty and the service was great. We came here for my daughter’s birthday and we had a lovely family meal. Both the pizza and pasta dishes were great.

Absolutely incredible experience at Paulo’s Italian. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere and hospitality make you feel completely at home and then the food takes it to another level. Every bite feels like a little trip to Italy. The flavours are so authentic, rich, and beautifully prepared you can tell everything is made with passion and care. The service is just as impressive: warm, friendly, and attentive without ever being overbearing. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and the people make such a lasting impression. Can’t wait to come back!
