Hello little octopus, soon you will be in my belly. Thank you! (Polpetto)

Went to the second day of soft launch at Polpetto on Dean Street in London's Soho and had a wonderful time.
Beautiful place with amazing attention to detail (sometimes I wonder if Russell Norman was a dollhouse maker in a previous life), and glorious food.
I want more places like this in London. Many more. Hopefully with Polpo and Polpetto and the upcoming Spuntino Mr Norman sets a trend creating a bunch of copycats giving him fair competition.
Reviews are coming in hard and fast, here are a few that echo my thoughts and put much better words to them than I would be able to:
Hollowlegs: Polpetti, Polpette, Polpetto
HR Wright: Polpetto, Soho
(Do NOT listen to him on the Osso Buco.)
Grumbling Gourmet: Polpetto - Soho perfection
