Went to this place over the weekend. Its rather misleading. Never occured to me that its was tapas as the menu suggested plates for about £8 each!. Was rather supreised when we received such small portions. The restaurant appears to be an independent sort of place but the taste is rather commercial like any other chain. The wine is suprisingly expensive about £5.50 for 25cl. The tables are extremely close to each other and theres a draft coming in. To make it worst - the waiters/manager didnt know how the food was prepared.
OK little place, with nice enough food, however we had a few issues such as too cramped seating for a tapas place, very expensive wine and just ok food. The sauce on the minted lamb meatballs we had reminded us both of tinned Heinz tomato soup. Better than the chain places on Maiden Lane but don't really get the fuss tbh, you can get much better for your money up in Soho.
Really great little spot with character and atmosphere. Food was really tasty and portion sizes very generous. I really like the sharing / tapas aspect. We went for pre theatre dinner and sat at the bar. Staff were really friendly and service very good.
Went on a friday night with the wife. Food overall was very good without being "wow". I like the idea of "Italian Tapas" which is what this place was. Not as romantic as hoped due to busy and atmosphere, definatly try and sit downstairs if possible where it seems quieter.
Lovely place, amazing food and reasonably priced, however the manager was very unaccomodating
Best of the Polpo bunch so far. Light, airy, fun, friendly and really tasty meatballs. Will be back.
My husband and me went to Da Polpo last Friday after work and we had a great time. House red wine was decent, the selection of dishes we chosen were tasty and good-sized (which is very important for me, I always find tiny teeny portion of tapas dishes you get in some trendy restaurants very frustrating). I was slightly surprised that it wasn't filled up quickly, maybe the location is a little bit out of way.
Went for Sunday luncheon - classic Polpo-style food and with delightful staff (of which there seemed a huge number). Have the veggie meatballs...mmmmmmm
