San Paolo - Darlington

Does anybody know if this place is still open? telephone number does not seem to be active. Trying to call to make a booking, email address has bounced. does anybody know ?

One of the best places in Darlington for drinks and the free tapas period is a great idea! Visit frequently and the staff are super helpful

Tried to book table at 3 in afternoon for an evening not answering phone, really, that busy? Please answer your phone, you can't be that busy at that time in the afternoon

Called for a quick tea after long day at work would have been better off going home for beans on toast.staff friendly orders taken promptly then waited over 30 minutes for garlic bread starter and had to ask of its whereabouts...front of house staff member very apologetic really friendly and attentive ...mains arrived have to say it was most uninspiring plates of food. penne ariabiata and spag bol tasteless and bland. Really wont be visiting again unless they get a new chef!

We ate here earlier today before a trip to the cinema. On arrival there were only another 4 people in the restaurant. We ordered drinks and had a look at the menu. When the waiter came to take our order he announced there were no pizzas as the oven was broken. Surely, he should have told us this when he gave the menus??? We waited ages for our food (a sandwich, lasagne and kids spaghetti Bolognese). My aperol spritz was completely flat. When our food was served, the pasta was served on a rectangular plate (which was really small, completely impractical and difficult for a child to eat spaghetti from). My lasagne was a small portion which I shared with my daughter as the kids spaghetti Bolognese was so spicy with chilli that she could not eat it! The waiter was very pleasant but it didn’t make up for half the menu not being available. The toilets were also absolutely disgusting. The food was just ‘OK’ but we won’t be back. The Italian restaurant over the road was buzzing with people and I can now see why!
