The food was absolutely delicious, well paced service and very affordable prices. The inside is also lovely and it wasn't crowded which makes a great setting for dinner. Would very much recommend.

Ooh, this was a really amazing restaurant! It had a romantic setting, with dimmed lighting and a busy-not too busy feel. This didn't stop the food coming out promptly and each dish was hot and delicious! I love ordering prawns, meatballs and bread and they didn't disappoint! Also tried the crostini with goats cheese, wow, all the flavours! Like all tapas restaurants, the 8 dishes added up and with a drink each our bill was £60. For me, a big treat 😅 but would definitely return to celebrate a special occasion!

Absolutely delicious!! Some of the best food we have had in Brighton. The pumpkin was especially wonderful. Service was good. Not such a fan of the thimbles for wine.... proper wine glasses would be better. Apart from that I night recommend!

Polpo never fails to deliver a great dining experience. Very friendly and helpful team who know the menu very well. The food is smaller plates, ideal for sharing but all excellent. The pork and fennel meatballs were amazing.

Great food and great service. Despite them being 'small plates' we didn't need a lot. Super tasty food. If they have it, then get the tiramisu. You won't be disappointed! Staff were lovely and attentive also, but without being the slightest intrusive. Thanks for a lovely meal.

Really flavoursome lovely dishes. Both the cooking and service have improved since I last visited Polpo in Brighton. I love Polpo, but was a little disappointed when I went to the one in Brighton before. However the great service and beautiful food I had on my most recent visit has restored my faith!

Love this place. I go often. Staff are great, food and portion sizes also. It might be on the pricey side for some, but worth every penny. It's also very close to the Theatre Royal, so good for a pre/post show meal.

I've been to Polpo a number of times and it never fails to deliver fresh tasty dishes and great drinks. This time the shin beef Bolognese was absolutely stunning, the meatballs were as ever gorgeous and the zucchini fries were a revelation. So definitely recommend if you enjoy Italian food and want to try something a little different than other more standard chain restaurants. Be aware though it's not the cheapest, but as an occasional great I really recommend trying it out.

Had a really lovely meal here. The menu was interesting and varied and I'd love to find another one closer to home so I could try a few other things. Service was great, they were knowledgeable about the menu and made sure to check in without being intrusive. A good wine selection with all of it being good value. Nice and relaxed casual atmosphere made this a good place to top off a busy day wandering around Brighton.
