POLPO Soho

Now Open

The first Polpo opened on Beak Street in September 2009.  It is a lovely and remarkable coincidence that the building was once home to the Venetian painter Canaletto.  There is a blue plaque on the wall to commemorate this. Polpo is a bàcaro.  This is a Venetian word to describe a humble restaurant serving simple food and good, young local wines.
