Polpo Soho was one of the first restaurants to bring Venetian cicchetti to London, and remains a fixture of Soho's dining scene. If you're searching for an atmospheric private dining space in the heart of the West End, Polpo's Campari Room fits the bill.
Hidden beneath the main restaurant, this intimate 24-seat private dining room combines the rustic character of a traditional Venetian bacaro with the flexibility needed for a wide range of events. From birthday parties and wedding celebrations to corporate dinners and team socials, the space offers both privacy and plenty of charm, as well as some of the best Italian cooking in London.
At its centre is a single long table, creating the perfect setting for convivial feasts and family-style dining. The room can also be adapted for different formats, whether you're planning a seated dinner or a more informal standing reception with aperitivi and canapés. Whatever the occasion, Polpo's relaxed Italian style ensures a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and you get dedicated wait staff for the evening too.
Food naturally takes centre stage. While Polpo is known for its Venetian-inspired dishes, groups can work with the kitchen team to create bespoke menus featuring a selection of cicchetti, pasta, pizzettes and desserts, all designed for sharing. This communal approach allows guests to sample a broad cross-section of the menu while enjoying a sociable dining experience.
To accompany the food, guests can choose from a carefully curated selection of Italian wines, aperitivi and cocktails, making it easy to kick off proceedings with a round of spritzes and carry celebrations into the evening. Dedicated staff are assigned exclusively to the Campari Room, ensuring attentive service from start to finish.
