Finally made it to polpo last night. Very very good but not the spectacular end of all things I was expecting.
Highlights where pork and fennel meatballs and cod cheeks with lentils and a strangely dirty but good fried mortadella with slaw. Would say that the frito misto looked great but did not really taste of much, same with the risotto. I have a suspicion that the sheer number of covers each night and the fact they now have 3 restaurants might have lowered the standard slightly from when it first opened.
It was though tasty and only came to £120 for 4 of us with pudding, a couple of bottles of house red and service which for a popular soho restaurant ain't half bad.
