    We were a party of six, and every one of us LOVED the food. From appetizers to dessert…a definite 5+ star experience. In addition to excellent food, the service and atmosphere were just perfect. Highly recommend ❤️

    We celebrated Christmas at Polpo with a delicious dinner. The food was excellent from start to finish but the service was even better. Our waiter, Jordan, made sure our every wish was attended to. We will certainly be back!

    Pleasantly surprised. Our dinner, ravioli bolognese and the veal Fontana were delicious. We shared a tomato and olive salad that we both loved. Service was great. The complimentary lemoncello was a nice ending to our meal. Highly recommend.

    Food was well prepared, prompt service on a busy night. They didn't check after dishes were served to see if we needed anything, which we did, so I got up and found someone.

    Love Polpo for their gluten free options!!! The ability to choose almost any entree and make it gluten free is the best for our family!

    The entrees were all very good and fresh. Osso bucco was delicious as was the red and white branzino. As appetizers, we had calamari and gorgonzola gnocchi which are always fresh and tender. We sat in the area that is enclosed and it was warm but fairly loud. I would have preferred indoor but the place was very crowded Thanksgiving weekend. A very good dinner and I surely will go back again.

    A new-to-us restaurant, it will definitely become a favorite!! From the grilled bread to the dessert, everything was wonderful! We had the artichokes as an appetizer. Both of our entrees were superb!!
