Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Polpo in Avalon offers an authentic Italian dining experience with "delicious food" and "great service." Known for its BYOB policy, standout dishes like Osso Bucco and Veal Fontana receive high praise. The atmosphere is often described as "amazing," though some diners find it noisy. Pricing is on the higher side, but most agree it's worth it for the "scrumptious food" and "impeccable service." Reservations are recommended due to its popularity.

    Food is excellent which made up for poor service. First, two entrees and splitting the salad cost $89 before tip, card fee, etc. but was very good. Now the service, we never figured out who our server was. Took 40 minute before we even placed order which was taken by the host.

    Only disappointed that I did not get table inside as I I had reserved on line. It was a bit chilly in outside room but host was most accommodating, moving us to table under heaters, away from windows

    Service was very poor. Waiter was indifferent and inattentive. Veal shank was under seasoned. Bronzino and octopus were very good.

    We had a lovely dinner last night! Everything was great! We had a lovely server, I cannot remember her name, but she is from Peru. The food was delicious! We are year round residents and are happy that you are open!
