So I finally got to
Polpo after having wanted to go for months - I had a lovely birthday lunch with some work buds, who also paid so it was doubly good!
Polpo did not disappoint - I loved the look of the place (as supposedly did Cannaletto), the staff were super friendly and the food was a perfect comfort-foil to the growing chill in the air outside. Every dish was delicious - I won't bother detailing them (mainly because I've forgotten) but just go, take an appetite and order big here. The only thing I was mildly disappointed in was the dessert but I think that's because the waitress said it was "just like homemade Toblerone" and it really wasn't. So next time I go I will eschew the sweetness and concentrate on stuffing my face with "cicheti" and "small plates", scoffing some fine Italian red and day-dreaming about being in Venice.
