Polpo - Smithfield

Polpo is the place to go for great food, wine and ambience, whilst catching up with friends.

Food was pleasant, good service, nice atmosphere and reasonably priced.

Decent , nice atmosphere . Just expensive for the quality of the dishes . Very basic . Fast service but waited over 30 mins to pay and leave.

The overall experience was very nice! We had a great time!

Great food, great atmosphere, great service, would go again for sure!

Delicious food, lovely staff, overall I will definitely go back.

Delicious food, as always at Polpo. Friendly staff and good service.

Really disappointed. This used to be such a great place and it was average to poor this time around. The food, which used to come all at the same time so that you could pick between the dishes, came one after another. We had to finish each plate before being brought the next. The cicchetti was neither hot nor cold, a confusing lukewarm which makes you wonder how long it had been sitting there. The fried fish was also warm, rather than hot and fresh as it should be and the arancini and the meatballs were so bland. In addition the waiter spilt our wine all over the table when he poured it and had no concept of personal space, twice nearly elbowing my boyfriend in the face while serving the table next to us. I will not be going back.

Food was great until when we been waiting for another part of dinner to arrive... We been asked if we will want anything else coffee, drink! Well food arrived and it was undercooked and eventually it put us off to have anything else .. Great disappointment then as we been enjoying our evening so far and we been rushed out with full house of people still there...

Fabulous food and beautiful setting. Perfect place to celebrate with loved ones

Great food, great service, great wine, a good night out

As always, Polpo delivered delicious food and amazing service. Highly recommend!

The food is always wonderful and the staff are friendly and so professional. The host at the door is particularly lovely. I come back time and again.

Delicious food, prompt service and lots of options you wouldn’t see in a standard Italian.

Food definitely not of the same quality it used to be, but the atmosphere was lovely nice and so was the staff!

Really great food, great service and great atmosphere! ten out of ten

Food is always great quality & waiters are very friendly

We were late for our table. My guests were pretty tight for time but the service and the food was excellent.

Very good food - especially the beef - and very nice house wine. the service was very prompt and kind, especially for the children

Great lunch with my brother, for two weeks of each year we are the same age, now 55. Our meal was excellent, the fruit misto my favourite with a few glasses of gavi. My shout next year.

A really enjoyable meal, excellent food and efficient, friendly service.

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Food was a bit hit and miss. We left still quite hungry despite ordering a lot.

A cute restaurant with good service and good food. Really enjoyed the evening

Great food, atmosphere and service, nice location and warm welcome.

The food was really nice, and the service was good despite being very busy.

Delicious food in a relaxed and comfortable environment with attentive but not overbearing service.

The dishes were delicious and there was a good selection for vegetarians. Service was friendly and efficient.

It was great service was friendyly and efficient. Had a great time

Stayed all eve, and loved the relaxed atmosphere. Great food and wine and no pestering to leave after a certain hour. When busy, it was a bit difficult to hear our conversation, but aside from this fab experience.

Not been here for a year .org so but many times before. This time was nice and staff friendly - no criticism but feel they could have been moreover welcoming and conversational with us!

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.

Great food, great service and a great atmosphere! Would definitely recommend.

Fabulous place. Excellent service - friendly and professional. A little noisy - but that is to be expected on a Friday evening

The server was absolutely lovely. She was Italian and took extra steps to make our experience a good one. The food was also great.

overall it was an enjoyable experience, friendly staff and quick service

Nice food, busy but ok service but far far too noisy to enjoy a meal!

Disappointed in the pudding, much better at the kings road restaurant

Really great service, food wasn’t amazing as always. Would really recommend!

Really good food and great atmosphere - will visit again soon

Great atmosphere in a very friendly restaurant. Relaxed restaurant meal.

As great as it always does. Good for business lunch

Amazing Food and service. We loved it. Would come back for sure

Great experience and food, our go to place for client lunches!

Lovely food but not great atmosphere and slow service sadly

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.

Great food, excellent vegetarian choices. Staff very friendly. We had a lovely brunch

Great service, no pressure, very relaxing and delicious food. Thanks

Really nice place - food always good. Perfect sharing options.

Great food and service - never disappointed. The sword fish as meatballs are particularly good!

Had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the food.
