Russell "Polpo" Norman's speakeasy style restaurant
Russell Norman's Polpo was a hit the minute it opened its doors. This smaller successor is billed as 'a sort-of speakeasy with food; like a machine-age downtown NYC Italian diner' and seats just 30 people. Head chef is Rachel O'Sullivan, former sous-chef at Polpo.
Critic Reviews
Marina O'Loughlin
Metro Reviewed on August 03, 2011 "I love the comfort-food excess of the menu: if it can be fried, put in a bun or slathered in cheese, it will be." READ REVIEW
Zoe Wiliams
Telegraph Reviewed on June 19, 2011 "I continued with a 'slider'. I don't like the word; I wish they'd called them 'mini burgers'. Anyway, there were three varieties; I tried the ground beef and bone marrow, which was fantastic." READ REVIEW
Giles Coren
Times Reviewed on June 18, 2011 "The best thing by a mile was the truffle egg toast, a huge slab of truffly cheese on toast with a hole in the middle containing runny egg yolk. Magnificent." READ REVIEW
Jay Rayner
Observer Reviewed on May 15, 2011 "This, however, is an American diner, the sort of place you would find right now in Brooklyn. It is a shameless act of cultural larceny, executed with love." READ REVIEW
Richard Vines
Bloomberg Reviewed on March 28, 2011 "The attention to detail at Spuntino is just extraordinary, right down to the ice cubes, which -- instead of being perfectly formed -- come in misshapen slices, just like at an American diner." READ REVIEW
Fay Maschler
Evening Standard Reviewed by March 24, 2011 "The staff behind the bar with their tattoos and T-shirts look like roadies but interact deftly and cheerfully. Fun is on the menu at Spuntino and that is worth celebrating." READ REVIEW
Chris Pople
Cheese & Biscuits Reviewed on March 16, 2011 "So yes, Spuntino is very good indeed. A winning match of unique and tasty comfort food served with a smile in stunning surroundings..." READ REVIEW
Laura Richards
View London Reviewed on March 16, 2011 "The reasonable prices match this attitude and its quirky menu choices are bold, delicious and sure to cause a stir in Soho." READ REVIEW
Guy Dimond
Time Out Reviewed on March 14, 2011 "We loved the 'peanut butter and jelly sandwich'... Two layers of peanut-flavoured ice-cream, had a smear of top-quality red berry compote between them, all garnished with ground peanuts. Very clever - it also tasted divine." READ REVIEW
