Great atmosphere and great food. It’s always enjoyable sharing dishes. The staff could t have been more kind and helpful especially when I changed my mind about where I had asked to be seated. They really understood I wanted to move and made it happen. Thank you to all the wonderful staff. M Astle

Polpo is my go to place when I’m in London. It’s a great place to meet people, cocktails are good and fried olives and Frito Misto are my favourites 💙

Great food and service was friendly. Could've been a little quicker at times and had to prompt a waiter over to take the food order and to order desserts and the bill.

Good we had booked this busy restaurant for a mid week lunch. Waiter Victor was knowledgable about the wine and enthusiastic in recommending dishes from the menu. All the food was served hot and was very tasty. A definite hit and we will be back.

We usually love Polpo but the service was incredibly slow and we had to check our order two or three times with the staff as they didn't know what we had ordered.

Good food but service very patchy. We had booked a table but when we arrived it was chaotic. Every time we wanted water/cutlery/to order more food it was difficult to get hold of a waiter.... didn’t quite live up to expectations for that reason

Restaurant was very busy, we had to wait for wine menu and quite some time passed before we managed to place our food order.Each time we had to catch attention of our waiter and even that wasn’t easy. Our waiter was nice and polite but clearly over stretched.Portions were smaller than last time I was there but food was as good as always.

Disappointing performance from one of my (previously) favourite restaurants in central London. They had run out of Prosecco (so no aperitivos), also no house white or house red available. First two choice of menu items (Fritto misto and Hake) were not available we discovered after ordering. Not acceptable at 3pm on a Sunday afternoon. Waiter didn't write down our order so two dishes were missing and one had incorrect topping. Second waiter dropped dishes twice when he was collecting plates. Very disappointed as this was a supposed to be a special occasion lunch at one of my favourite places to eat.

We have been using the restaurant's cook book, Polpo, and were in London so decided to visit. The food was good, but not great. I can think of a dozen restaurants in Venice that are at least as good. But if you are not in Venice, this is a nice opportunity to experience Venetian enotecca food in London. Also, a good selection of Italian wines. Worth a visit.
