Little challenge for my London friends: try getting a dinner table at Polpetto, the new Italian restaurant above the French House in Soho. You know what they say: "location, location, location" Polpetto's address? Well, 'only': the dining room above the French House, one of the most remarkable bars in central Soho. The same owner of popular Polpo - that added to the fact that it only has 28 seats all together make it quite impossible to just walk-in and enjoy a meal. The place is rustic looking with nineteenth-century French light fittings and zinc-topped tables (very NYC West Village), serving small portions of dishes in the style of a Venetian bacaro (wine bar). All comanded by beautiful chef and it girl Florence Knight- who ensures that the 1.800 followers on Twitter are all in the loop with new dishes like the popular "sgroppino" or even the much antecipated oppening of their 3rd venue Spuntino which word has gone around will be even smaller! Really: Think CONNECT.
