    We have dined at Polpo previously but this time, we had the 4 course dinner for $45. Everything was absolutely delicious. The service was great. We are hoping to do this again before the Special ends.

    We had a good dinner. Caprese salad & calamari for appetizers. Our entrees were lobster ravioli special ($48), gamberi Fontana & polo Milanese. All were good. We skipped dessert but did have the complimentary limoncello. Very good.

    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.
