Food was great and attentive service. The restaurant was just a bit loud so it was hard to communicate with the other people at the table.
Great food, great service. Looking forward to new menu in 2 weeks!
Lovely staff with swift and attentive service, consistently delicious food
Great lunch venue but slightly small tables for a Tapas type meal with 3 guests. Food was terrific.
Excellent food good service and atmosphere. Location great as well.
Would return whenever we have the opportunity, given that we do not live near London.
There was something strange in my pudding and they didn’t charge me for it; thank you, but dying to know what it was...... possibly cardboard?? Really lovely otherwise.
Great visit, excellent service, staff really helpful and great food!
Delicious food that is great for sharing with friends. Good service as well!
Very good food and excellent service from the members of staff!
Thank you for an enjoyable lunch. I took my colleague there for the first time and we both enjoyed the food which was delicious. The one thing that was noticed was that our 2nd waitor was rude and surly. Not a good advert for Polpo, and I was quite shocked. This ruined what would have been a perfect lunch.
Love the food but we felt a bit rushed today... and there didnt seem to have so much choice on the menu
I was late for the booking but they sat us which was nice. The food was decent. Unfortunately, the service was terrible (even before the big party arrived). I won't be back.
Lovely time and experience at Polpo, good choice of dishes
Delicious menu, great service. We had a really great meal.
We’ve been to Polpo a few times already and always left happy. The polpette are a must.
Good food but did feel small plates were slightly over-priced for lunch
Full marks across the board. Loved it. Will be coming back again and again
Great place, really good staff. This was my first visit and already plotting the next visit. This is the Italian/Tuscan version of Tapas - the dishes are small and cheap(ish) so you order a lot of them. Don’t hold back - they’re all good and you won’t over order. Really really good. It’s rare that you start planning to return to a place As you’re paying the bill. Love it.
Food was excellent but the service wasn't great. Asked for the bill and 20 min later had to go and ask again. Trying to catch the team's attention to order drinks and food was pretty tricky and they looked a bit miserable
Wonderful food and great atmosphere and service, thank you !
Great moment, great staff, food was food and the setting was great.
we went on the recommendations of friends, and personally I was a little disappointed, the cocktails on happy hour weren't nice, and our waitress missed quite a few of our orders of drink and food- at the end our bill was incorrect- they sorted it before we left so we didn't end up over paying. On the whole it was an ok bar/restaurant but I wouldn't go back or recommend to friends, there are nicer places in the area.
Dishes were competently prepared. Service was efficient and friendly. Will visit again.
We booked an early table so we enjoyed both some quieter time for conversation and the lively buzz when it was full. The food was delicious and the little starters great for sampling a wide variety.
It was cold - we were at a table by the main window on a cold evening
great food, great value, a lovely alternative to Spanish tapas
A fabulous first time visit to a delightful restaurant. Efficient, gracious service, superb food. Great value too. Thoroughly recommended.
Great food, fast service, affordable wine was lovely, fab evening! Thank you Polpo!
Great food (amazing tiramisù) and house wine, good atmosphere, great service. Highly recommend it.
Very tasty and great value or London. God service ang good atmosphere
everything was lovely at the restaurant and having not visited for a while i was extremely impressed with the menu; all the dishes we chose were superb. the one thing that let the venue down for me was the state of the ladies bathroom.
Terrible service - had to keep asking for drinks/food so not great.
Excellent! Great service food and wine! A gem in London!
Great service despite the restaurant being so busy, and lovely food.
Food and service excellent, will be back again for more
Great atmosphere, lovely food and excellent service. Will be back!
Lovely atmosphere, cracking food, charming service - we had a great time
Late lunch of delicious plates. Will be back soon !
Bit noisy but good service, knowledgeable staff. Interesting and varied dishes.
Very enjoyable. Good service, good food - will come again
Great food, attentive staff, good ambience. Lovely Friday evening dinner
Lovely place to have lunch. Will definitely go there again.
A really great visit, the food was fantastic! Friendly service which could be a little quicker but apart from that it was great. I will absolutely be back!
Great staff, great vibes, perfect place for a catch up with a friend
Our visit was a team meal with work colleagues. The food is delicious - all sharing plates and lots of choice. The atmosphere is good and not too noisy - we could have a conversation without having to shout - even though the restaurant was full (on a Tuesday night). The service was quick and friendly. Great restaurant - strongly recommend. *****
I love this restaurant , it has great food & a nice atmosphere but unfortunately this visit saw the waiter spilt our wine & we had to ask for him to replace it ( no rushing to help it spilling all over the table ), they did give us a carafe to compensate & then it appeared on the bill. And when we asked for four affogatos for dessert we were told the coffee machine had just been cleaned so it was off??? Why not clean it when the clients have gone. Anyway I’ll still go back but I was so looking forward to showing my sister & niece my fav restaurant . Hopefully it was a blip!
The food was quite nice but the service was pushy, garbled and unfriendly
Lovely good. Great service. Great wine. What more could you ask for?
Very slow service - though food was good. Over an hour for food to some to table
