Paulo Gianni’s sits on Church Street in the heart of Lancaster, offering a family-run Italian dining experience. The restaurant has been part of the local dining scene since 1996 and is located just a short walk from Lancaster Castle and the city’s main shopping areas.
The menu focuses on traditional Italian cuisine, with a range of classic dishes spanning pasta, pizza, and meat and fish mains. Starters include options like garlic bread and bruschetta, while mains feature a variety of pizzas with toppings such as pepperoni, mushrooms, and olives, alongside pasta dishes like spaghetti carbonara and lasagne. Meat and fish dishes include chicken, steak, and salmon, often paired with Italian-inspired sauces and sides. Desserts include Italian favourites like tiramisu and panna cotta. The menu is à la carte, and portions are designed for individual dining rather than sharing plates.
The dining space is spread across two floors, with a mix of table sizes to accommodate different group sizes. The restaurant’s layout includes a bar area, and its central location makes it convenient for both casual meals and special occasions. The format is suited to families, couples, and small groups.
Takeaway is available for those who prefer to enjoy Paulo Gianni’s dishes at home. Reservations can be made online or by phone, and the restaurant is open throughout the week.
