Polpo - Smithfield

It was simply great. A little loud but totally worth it.

Went there for lunch with a colleague and it was pleasant. The service was great and the food came really quick! I had the sea bass and it was lovely and would definitely have again.

Food and atmosphere great. They were busy but service still excellent. Highly recommend

Lovely food, amazing service and a great buzzy but laid-back vibe.

Really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Service was excellent.

Great meal, food was superb sat close to the kitchen great seats

Nice Italian Restaurant. Great for sharing plates and drinking a negroni...

Great food, nice staff, good vibe. I Will certainly return.

food is decent, more of modern European style with a hint of Spanish food.

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.

Our food was lovely and the service was brilliant! Great atmosphere too, so we had a lovely lunch.

We had a great time!!! The food was so good and the atmosphere was awesome. We were taken care of by the kindest host :)

Amazing food, nice staff, everything was really great. We recommended!

I love Polpo and it is great you can book in the evening at the Smithfield branch.

Lovely lunch and food. Was a bit hot inside but was one of the hottest days of the year to be fair.

great place for meeting clients or friends - nice formal/informal mix with great food. We ordered ad. few dishes and shared. Service was excellent and friendly

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.

Food poor. Service slow. Overall disappointing compared with the Soho venue.

We loved it so much! Such a lovely place with delicious food and friendly staff. So presentable and yummy food and amazing aperol. Deep worth a visit

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.

Excellent service and atmosphere . Really good restaurant and would go again

Great quality drinks and snacks, super polite staff, will always go back, thank you!!

I would like the noise to be a little lower but it really is ok compared to other restaurants in London

Unfortunately not a very good experience here. Very poor service and the food just so so.

Great service, lovely food and nice atmosphere. Really enjoyed it

Was amazing food, took some leftover home! Will go back

The room is somewhat basic, the tables are far too small. The red wine is unacceptably warm, 27 C should be 16, undrinkable. The standards of cooking are average. I bought the book and do a better job at home. The recipes do not match the cooking standards.

Excellent food with loads of good options- service could be improved as we had to wait for very long periods between the waitress checking up on us

Great service from the minute we walked in and excellent food.

I was really looking forward to eating here and enjoyed it but the food didn’t quite live up to our expectations. The starters were delicious but the pasta was overcooked which I think is pretty unimpressive for an Italian restaurant! A mouse ran through the dining room while we were eating.

Waited 10 - 15 minutes once seated to offered water, which on a hot day, with a client was embarrassing. Food was great, meatballs were tasty and Zucchini fries we super. but we finished early due to poor service.

Wonderful staff and lovely food. Made my fiends birthday very special

service was very patchy - bill and 2 espressos took 35 minutes to arrive

Great food and fast service! Love the meat balls and Frito misto

Good service, good food, am looking forward to going back!

Great experience, decor and food - bravo! Will come back again.

Lovely relaxed venue with the normal buzz that you get in an Italian. No rush with leaving the table either. Food was lovely and overall I would recommend and also I would return when I am in this part of London

Always a good venue for being experimental with food and interacting with your party

I have always enjoyed visiting this resturantand will continue to visit.

Service was fantastic, food was delicious and served very quickly but with no pressure

Good food as ever. We always enjoy lunch at Polpo!

Very good food; enjoyable atmosphere. Will for sure go again

Top quality service and brilliant food, have the crab linguine

Amazing food and Aperol Spritz! Will be back soon :)

So so lovely, the food was delicious and the waiter was very friendly. I love the atmosphere in Polpo, you really feel like you're in Venice. The Fritto Misto and trout were really tasty and great portions 👍

Great little restaurant, super tasty food. Sharing style but the portions are a good size so you only need to order about two plates each.

Great service , atmosphere, location and the food was delicious

Lovely food, decent prices, great service. The manager is a star!!

Pretty good overall but nothing exceptional. Good for a business lunch

Always good, no matter how busy. Just remember to book ahead!
