Authentic Italian bites and superb wine make Polpetto a favourite along Dean Street

After the runaway success of older sibling Polpo, pint sized Italian restaurant Polpetto brings tapas style Italian cuisine to London’s Dean Street. Situated in a small room above the famous French Kitchen in Soho, Polpetto is a deliciously authentic Venetian wine bar serving the most amazing osteria tapas like dishes to a mixed crowd. Bare zinc tables and exposed brick walls set the scene at this cosy restaurant where the food really is the main attraction. You really can try a bit of everything here, with all dishes served as small portions and prices more than reasonable. Indulge in duck and porcini meatballs; osso bucco with creamy saffron risotto; shoulder and pickled pepper pizzetta; rabbit with pancetta and sardines with caper mayonnaise – just some of the delectable dishes on offer. The wine list is superb with most coming from Northern Italy’s smaller producers. Polpetto is a hugely popular Soho restaurant and is packed most days due to its size. If you want a true taste of Northern Italian food, Polpetto should be you London restaurant of choice.
