Polpo - Brighton

Waiter was lovely and very good with our children. The food came out very quickly and was delicious.

About our 4th visit. Always great food and friendly service.

Really tasty food, we shared the pea mint arancini, the crab linguine, and two of the specials (wild mushroom risotto and pizetta with figs, gorgonzola and prosciutto). All delicious. Really like the thin flaky base of the pizetta, never had a pizza base like it before. Cool and cozy atmosphere at the back. Nothing bad to say. Not cheap particularly but would rather pay a bit more for quality dishes than standard Italian fare. Definitely will return.

Gian Luca - our waiter - was fab and the food was delicious

Fabulous - amazing food and service - yum yum yum

Super fast and friendly service. Polpo deserves attention. Affordable tasty plates and great drinks list.

Excellent food and excellent service, as always. An atmospheric but relaxed dining experience.

The food was very tasty, and the service was great. I would definitely go there again!

Many Italian Tapas Style dishes are on offer we chose 2 different brushettes, a fish dish of Swordfish puttanesca, Meat dishes of duck black olive and tomato Ragu gnocchi. We also shared 2 different Piizzettes and a Vegetable side of Zucchini rocket basil and parmesan salad Desserts of Chocolate & hazelnut grappa cake and mascarpone cheese followed. Service was quick and accompanied house white wine was very drinkable

we had a good time here and enjoyed the food

Overall a good experience with tasty food and efficient service. Some items were quite small for the price.

Excellent food, brilliant place, great service. Good location in Brighton.

Delicious meal in a fun atmosphere with great service - very enjoyable.

A good time was had by everyone in our party

First time visitors - we will be back! Highly recommended

Great atmosphere, great staff and great food. A must visit in Brighton.

Very enjoyable - manager very nice. Great food wood return

Amazing service and even better food. They even supplied more sauce for the whitebait :).

Super great food and the atmosphere was lovely! Definitely going to be visiting again.

Great food, wine and atmosphere. A really good evening. Thanks

Excellent service. Excellent food. So good we purchased the cookery book

Delicious food, great service. Would have eaten there again if we’d been staying longer. Kids loved the pizzettte (savoury and sweet) whilst adults able to eat more interesting food than you get in the usual Italian chains. Location in Brighton is great, as near to pavilion gardens.

Great place, great food excellent service. Noice level you can't really blame the restaurant. It is what is is, small room with brick walls and busy Friday afternoon you can't do much about the noise level. Great place to go for very good food and service.

Great service, excellent food. Slightly more mainstream then expected in music choice and some menu items.

We had a lovely lunch. The service was efficient and friendly. Great food. I recommend this place for lunch or dinner.

Been before. Like it a lot. It’s quite pricey for the portion sizes and for drinks but the quality is high. Attentive and knowledgeable service. Noise levels are an issue - don’t know if it’s just the acoustics in this restaurant but it’s definitely not somewhere you’d go for a quiet meal.

The portion was quite small :/ and taste is not so good... waiters are not friendliness.

Thank you for the special ice cream! It was great

I love this place. Food and service is always spot on.

We always love to eat here such interesting and great food

Great food and very helpful and friendly staff. Fabulous happy hour too!

Superb food, amazing service and great atmosphere worth a visit

Brilliant night with my sister who came for the 1st time and loved it

Great food, service and ambiance. First time to visit but I’ll definitely be back. High standard of food - free-range eggs, grass fed meat and sustainable sourced 🐟. Excellent!!!

Food was excellent as was the service - would come again

Great food and great service. Will definitely go back. I would think if all the tables were full it could get pretty noisy.

Really good food and service. Second time there will be back.

Great food, great host and brilliant cocktails. Definitely will be back

We had a very bad experience at Polpo. The service was all over the place with broken glasses, entire bottle of wine in the floor and one of our party. The noise in the restaurant meant we had to shout to be heard by someone sitting opposite me.

Fantastic food and service. Will definitely be back during my next visit to Brighton. Easily accommodated our family (including 2 children) and friends for a Friday night dinner that was enjoyed by all.
