Great menu and a little overpriced, Italian tapas style. Loved the freshness and quality of the ingredients, really top notch. Only natural wines, which was a deciding factor for me. Overpriced for the size of the dishes and the size of the restaurant, and they will put the bill on the table as soon you put your fork down.
We went to Popolo because it was recommended in the local Michelin guide. The food and service was good, but we would not come back a second time, as we expected a bit more in this price range. Especially the size of the portions was a bit disappointing (£20 for 9 Gnocchi and £7.5 for 3 slices of Focaccia).
The food is nice. Favourite is actually the bread and pork cheek pasta. However, I find it hard to justify the price, especially the smaller portion you are getting. I mean the asparagus is fresh and juicy but 17 pound is a bit too steep. And the 6 piece of pasta for 28 pound. Ummmmm..
We were lucky to score two seats at the bar around 9pm on a Thursday evening and what a treat it turned out to be! We ordered the focaccia, burrata with chickpeas and olives, the crab pasta and the beef with salsa verde. Everything was beautifully prepared, but the standout by far was the crab pasta, unbelievably good and packed with flavour. It’s the kind of dish you want to go back for!! What also stood out was the open kitchen. It’s a compact space, and with the bar seating wrapped around it, you get a full view of the action. Despite the pressure and pace, the chefs remained impressively calm and focused, quietly producing plate after plate of delicious food. It’s no small feat to work in such a visible and intense environment, hats off to them. One lovely personal touch: I didn’t manage to get a photo of the fish (which was excellent), but when the chef noticed I was struggling a little with the bones, he kindly came over and helped us debone it. Such thoughtful service. Highly recommend Popolo—great food, a cosy vibe, and seriously talented chefs who make it all look effortless.
Food was great , absolutely loved the pork cheek agnolotti I. Particular and the basque cheeses cake is a must have!
