Polpo Chelsea in Kensington and Chelsea

The food was nice and I would recommend coming here but the tip was a bit much.

Lovely night! Sergiu helped us through the menu, gave us great suggestions: the food was great

We booked Pulpo for a friends birthday get together and hadn’t been before but we will definitely be going back. The food was fantastic, we loved the cosy, bistro vibe and the staff were great. They even surprised us with a birthday cake of tiramisu and a limoncello each which was unexpected but very welcome. Great venue, food and staff.

Chirag makes the best Negronis ever! Highly recommended!

We had a very pleasant evening. Wonderful food and very friendly staff! We felt very welcome here.

A fab restaurant, intimate setting, authentic cuisine with superb flavours. Highly recommend the meatballs. Excellent service and fantastic cocktails!

Had the best margaritas here! Special thanks tonchi

our waitress was so fun! table was a little small for how many dishes we had but food was a little staggered so we could fit everything on there, however felt a bit rushed and restaurant was quite warm. nice atmosphere and food and service was amazing :)

Great service and atmosphere overall. Made my night one to remember.

We visited Polpo today. Superb service , great food, perfect for birthday celebrations! The manager is lovely , she went above and beyond to make our experience special !

Food was delicious and the environment was really enjoyable.

Love the atmosphere. The service could be faster and some dishes were a bit on the saltier side. Overall had a good experience and would recommend.

Just home from a wonderful visit to Polpo, where we were celebrating a friend's birthday. We were welcomed with a glass of bubbly, which was a really lovely touch. The food was 17/10! It couldn't be faulted. We shared potato and truffle crochette (possibly the food of the angels), zucchini fries, pumpkin ravioli, a pizette, and watercress, artichoke and pecorino salad. All ridiculously tasty. I may dream about it all tonight! The birthday girl was then surprised by a huge slice of tiramisu, complete with candle. The service couldn't have been better either. It was super friendly and wonderfully helpful. It was so lovely and relaxed, and never felt rushed at any point. We are already planning our next visit. A perfect lunch. Thank you Polpo!

Food and atmosphere were lovely, service however wasn’t great, our bottle of wine was forgotten about, had to order it twice then was left on the side ready to be bought out, although didn’t for about 15 minutes with staff passing by chatting, our desert was also forgotten and saw staff whispering about why there were still deserts spoons on the table as they were closing the kitchen, that was also a bit awkward as before we had even got our desert we saw staff eating food and saying goodbye to each other for the night. Not sure if it’s related by seemed odd that one of the diners I was with threw up a couple of hours after the meal, not sure if it was the prawns ?

Good for pre theatre/ concert eating. Nice ild room with wooden ceiling. Staff very efficient and friendly. Food is fine.

Lovely sitting outside on a nice day

Great service ! Will definitely return

The food is real Italian. All the stuff is so friendly. I was lucky to find this place. Will come tomorrow with my girlfriend!

Great Italian restaurant in Chelsea, slightly pricey for the food portions but the price reflects the quality.

Sergo was great - meet him for sure great customer serious

The restaurant staff, particularly the host on duty on March 1, 2025, around 4 PM, was rude, exhibited racist behavior, and had a bad attitude. While the food was decent, the staff urgently needs proper training. This is the hospitality industry, and such behavior will only drive customers away.

Brilliant team & gorgeous food!! Thank you

Our first visit and hopefully not our last. Delicious food and the staff are friendly and attentive. Good ambience.

I recently dined at Polpo and had a delightful experience. The atmosphere was charming and inviting, thanks in part to Irene Witty’s warm hospitality. Monty provided exceptional service, being both attentive and considerate throughout the evening. Chirag and Chamu were also wonderful, contributing to the overall pleasant vibe. The food was a highlight, with each dish bursting with flavour. The chili and garlic prawns were perfectly cooked with just the right amount of heat. The beef shin rigatoni was rich and comforting, a true standout on the menu. The water artichoke salad provided a refreshing balance to the more robust dishes. To accompany the meal, I tried the Rita midi, which complemented the food beautifully. I ended the evening with an affogato – the perfect sweet finish. Overall, Polpo delivered an exceptional dining experience with its delicious food, charming atmosphere, and outstanding service. I highly recommend it!

I passed by a randomly selected restaurant and the food tasted better than I imagined😋

Good food. Great pastas but the tiramisu was a bit sweet

Amazing place. The concept of sharing both starters and mains fits perfectly with the menu.

The food is very wonderful and the service is excellent I highly recommend Worth repeating many times

Our second visit and we cannot fault either time! Glorious selection of tapas and Cicetti at a good price. Particular stars of the show include their arancini, pizettes and octopus. Their service has been excellent and the layout of the restaurant is cozy and classic.

Nice restaurants and bit old but nice the only think portion from fregola very small and ravioli with out salt they didn't have flavour

We love this place. Good food, gorgeous vibe and fantastic location.

Cosy little place with medium size pizzas (pizzete)

We had an amazing experience 💪🏻 Food was great service was great 😍 Atmosphere - fantastic 🫶🏻 5 Stelle 🇮🇹

Wonderful food with some real specialties as well as more well known dishes. Staff very attentive. Warm and relaxed atmosphere. Seating at the bar or tables. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend.

Polpo is one of my favourite go-to places in London and I have always left satisfied. The staff are always very welcoming, and the food has never left us disappointed! Shout out to the Greek lady Irina for always finding me and my friends a table and for such a warm and approachable service every time.

Im new in the area and visited this restaurant for the first time. The stuffed olives , sea bream and watercress salad were all very good and there’s a Nice selection of desserts . Staff is very friendly and welcoming. The perfect Sunday dinner. Will be back soon.

Had an amazing experience at Polpo! Erins provided outstanding service—so attentive and kind. She made sure our toddler was entertained with crayons and a high chair, and even our pet was welcomed with a cozy spot and water bowl. The restaurant is perfect for families and pets, and the food was incredible. Highly recommend!

Cozy atmosphere, great service and excellent Italian food. Delicious tiramisu.

Lovely Italian restaurant with delicious natural wines. You have to get the chickpea balls and tiramisu. Our sever Irini was so lovely, looking forward to dining here again soon.

Our servers were really personable and friendly, even somehow figured out it was my birthday. A wonderful experience!

Overpriced but good atmosphere.

Amazing and cozy Italian restaurant, everything were delicious and the staff very nice. Thank you

Had an early dinner on Sunday. Very nice atmosphere. Very nice food.

We had a great dinner. The service was excellent and there were lots of interesting food options. We enjoyed everything we chose, from arancini, to the various crostini, to chilli prawns, meatballs (pork), pizzetta and zucchini fries. It was all very tasty and well presented. The wine list was good too and one of the waiters was very helpful in selecting our choice.

Great experience and lovely atmosphere for dinner last night. Very attentive and professional server who have made our meal feel very special . Thanks Sergio and the team ! Will be back soon !

Our first time at Polpo was wonderful. The sea bream was perfectly cooked, and the crostini with tofu and caramelised onion was such a delicious surprise. The service was also seamless.

Waitresses super kind and food excellent. Thanks for a great per-concert treat 😀

Wow what an amazing spot, small inside but very cosy and delicious food, tania was so lovely, very sweet and recommended some delicious dishes!

I highly recommend this restaurant! Their customer service is second to none! Especially Irene! We were completely impressed with her professionalism and customer service. Thank you Irene ( King’s Road)

This is a lovely place to eat! Very nice interior (wood-panelled ceiling, brick, soft low lighting) and friendly atmosphere, with a wonderful serving team. I go there every week, and it’s always a pleasure to be served by Tonchi! Working through the whole menu, dish by dish. There are some great Italian classics and a few fusion twists which are all worth trying. Please also note the amazing gluten free pizza (safe for coeliac)!
