A fun, bustling restaurant with tasty food at reasonable prices despite the menu being carb-heavy (pizza, pasta, bruscetta and arancini). The staff were polite and efficient but lacked the charm that I have experienced in restaurants elsewhere. The table for 2 was quite small and wedged between two other tables so I could clearly hear my neighbour's conversation and the table was not big enought to comfortably hold all of the sharing dishes. Whilst I would probably go again, next time with a group of friends, it is not top of my list.

Compared to my last visit which was great, this one was very average. Perhaps because we were at the tail end of lunch it felt like we were in the way. Our starters were forgotten so we opted to just have mains and dessert. There are too many other restaurants to try to return to Polpo.

The food was great but by the end of our meal we had to seek out a server as it felt we had been forgotten and wasps were circling the empty plates.

Staff were very friendly and attentive, especially whilst I was waiting 40 minutes for a friend to arrive. They made me feel welcome and they were fun throughout the evening. We will definitely be back to this little gem of a place.

Nice service, good spot sitting in the sun. I'd heard great things about the food and some things definitely delivered, but others fell a bit flat.
