really incredible food and the best service we have had in London for yonks. wine was delicious too, if a wee bit pricey per glass (but appreciate it’s all natural yet doesn’t taste like vinegar) - also love the setting and the adventure getting there. only minus is the lack of extraction, think that probably needs addressing. you gotta go

Outstanding food in the coolest venue. We knew the venue would be amazing but the food was a wonderful surprise — refined and crafted with care from superb ingredients. Polentina is now firmly on our map and we can't wait to share the joy with anyone who asks where to eat in London. Thank you Polentina team for an unforgettable evening!

The tastes were very authentic and the service was great. The only thing that needs changing is to have fillers on the plates like more pasta, salads, potatoes on the side as we left a little hungry . Otherwise loved it

The ravioli, stuffed courgette flowers, tomato salad were all perfectly judged and tasted exquisite. I always take friends here and I’ve never been disappointed. Service can be quite slow but they do remind you that some dishes take 15 minutes to prepare!

Such a quirky idea. It’s very different! The food is simple yet so tasty and comforting. Really delicious! The story behind the restaurant is really lovely and the staff are all very engaged in the business and passionate about telling its story. The one thing I would say is to definitely make it a little easier to find, not enough directions and that can add a stress for some people.
