Polentina never disappoints. Excellent food which is different to anything else I have experienced in London. Great service and of course a unique location in a factory canteen.

Best regional Italian dishes we have tasted outside of Italy. Honest cuisine. Delicious unusual wines. A real find, amazing to think of it as a works canteen in Bow. Great atmosphere and service. Thank you!
