Reviews Summary

Topoly's is praised for its authentic Italian cuisine, with many highlighting perfectly cooked steaks and flavorful pasta dishes. The atmosphere is often described as lovely, suitable for various occasions. However, some diners have experienced significant wait times for food, and there have been mixed reviews regarding pizza quality.

"Incredible restaurant with amazing food.

We sat upstairs & it was beautiful, staff were very attentive & checked on us every 10 or so minutes so we were never waiting to order anything that we needed.
I didn’t get a photo of my steak but it was cooked perfectly & my boyfriend’s burger was amazing.
The wait time for food was very little, we barely had to wait even on a Saturday evening.

My favourite place in the world🫶🏻"

"Ate at Topoly’s for the last 2 evenings whilst working away and this place is an absolute gem.

Ordered different on both nights and absolutely loved everything I was served. Atmosphere was great and the staff were amazing.

The best spaghetti bolognese I have ever eaten and I’ve travelled all over the country."

Louis Wilson

"10 for dinner booked well in advance . Found ourselves tucked into a cramped table upstairs. Servers were exceptional polite courteous and in fairness the starters came quick they were all cold dishes so they may have been prepared earlier ? . Mine a seafood salad at about 8 quid was sloppy salad and not much seafood cheapest prawns lack of mixture of other seafood, tasteless and disappointing. Main was king Prawn in a tomato sauce and salad . Insalata di mare starter Gamberetti re del mar great names poor execution. Didn't stay for dessert went home for Birthday cake . Reasonable prices perhaps a bit dearer and better produce . Will take a lot for me to return voluntarily but will go back as usual within a year or so . Thanks for 10k plus views last month and keeping us in the top 20% we really appreciate it"
