Polpo Ristorante offers a large menu and numerous specials, even on weeknights. The restaurant has a lovely ambiance, with outdoor seating options including tables along the sidewalk and a semi-enclosed area. The service is generally good, although it may be slower than preferred, especially during busy times. The menu features dishes such as caesar salad, rigatoni and shrimp scampi, and risotto primavera. The restaurant has a loyal following and is a nice change of pace from other favorite spots. While some food is described as bland, the restaurant has received positive reviews for its burrata, caprese salad, risotto with grilled shrimp, house spaghetti, calamari fritti with mascarpone cheese, and pasta carbonara. Customers have praised the service, particularly the recommendations from the staff, and the pleasant indoor dining experience. Visitors also highlight the cleanliness, quiet atmosphere, and friendly staff, especially the waiter with a great sense of humor. The bread served is exceptional, thanks to the talented bread master, Hanh. However, some dishes have received mixed reviews, such as the steamed clams and certain chicken dishes. Guests have enjoyed the specials like lobster ravioli, osso buco, and short ribs. The restaurant is a BYOB, offering good value, and many customers express a desire to return, especially after having a positive dining experience.
