Polpo Covent Garden

Great funky hip place. Buzzing with a great atmosphere. Food is tapas style so small plates. Great cocktails.

Had a great time. Staff are very nice and helpful. Food was lovely bar the pizzette, found the sauce on it too tangy tasted like vinegar

Staff are beautiful, good atmosphere, Polpo red wine is good... The most important food is not big portions, but the quality is there. A pretty quick service.

Good Italian style tapas. Small portions to share, so two people get to try 4-5 different tapas. I really liked the affogato (a ball of ice cream, pour a shot of coffee over it, enjoy! . Nice staff, interesting decor.

I booked it for an anniversary with my friend, and it was great! Friendly staff helped me to organize a candle in dessert, the atmosphere was nice and we really enjoyed the evening! Food is delicious! Great Italian cuisine and reasonable prices, the Tiramisu Dessert is a must! Come on!

Polpo is one of my fave restaurants in London! Beautiful Italian small plate dining room, ideal for sharing. My favorite menu item is the kichererbsen Ricotta Spinat balls! Looks like meatballs, but vegetarian and tastes so good! Their wines are also a joy. Candlelight and cozy atmosphere, makes this place great for a date night. It is a bit expensive, but the quality of food is right. The service is on site. Everything I would not love about Polpo so far!

Amazing food and great ambience. We were 20 minutes too late and when we arrived there our table had been given away (its policy is 15 min grace) but the manager was quick and friendly to find another table for us, although there is a busy Friday Valentine's Day evening. Service, parts were good. But what really made this place stand out was the taste our favorites last night were the pork and fennel balls, shrimp with garlic and oxen beech pasta. Plan our next visit here! Very recommended!

Enjoyed the food but service was slow, our table was tucked in the corner so we were kind of forgotten. Coffee machine broke down so had to wait ages just to get a coffee. Waitress didn't come back to take our order for food so we had to go up to desk ourselves. Same thing when we finished eating, no one came for the bill and we had to go up again. I've been to other Grind locations and have always enjoyed it. However this particular table tucked in the corner cannot be seen so we were forgotten about.

The two of us were seated right at the back. It was just before 12:00 so almost empty but I can imagine it can get very cramped when full, as the tables are set close together and its a small narrow space. We ordered to share: Mushroom Arancini Crab Linguine Tiger Prawns with chilli garlic Buttered Cavolo Nero Everything was absolutely delicious and I can wait to have the exact same meal again! Waitresses kept chatting together near the bar so it was hard to get their attention but when they came over, they were very pleasant. I would recommend this place to anyone for any time of day.
