A friend visiting and pick this place, it is a great to have sharing board with friends and some drinks. Dessert is a surprise with their gluten-free options of pistachio cheese cake. It is highly recommended easy booking with their online system too.

I booked in the entire space for my husband’s 40th surprise party and I can’t tell you how happy I am with how everything went! I had been looking for a venue for a while and when I saw Paisá it was perfect! Lorenzo and his staff were so helpful in helping me to plan the evening! The food and drinks were spectacular and I couldn’t recommend this place more! They were super accommodating on the day as well and everything went to plan and all executed smoothly. I highly highly highly recommend and would definitely rebook for future events!!

I very rarely give 5 star reviews, i fact I don’t think I have at all. However this place deserves it, simple food made brilliantly. Wish I had ordered more! The espresso martinis are incredible and there is a large list of cocktails to choose from. I just wish they had a beer on draft, but I can live without it! Huge wine list if that takes your fancy which I think this place is more geared towards. This place is perfect for an afternoon bite or a light lunch! We will 100% be coming back, sooner rather than later.

Been to Paisa twice, 1st time just for cocktails, the 2nd for food and drinks. We love this place. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They’ve nailed the authenticity! We love the ambiance. A great atmosphere for a bit of sophistication or to impress on a date.

Great choice of drinks, lots of non-alcoholic options which I appreciated as I don’t drink. The food was good, nice presentation and quick service. I would say was a little bit expensive but the atmosphere and the service was really enjoyable
