    Our food was delish! Our service was spot on! The ambiance was delightful! So happy to see this restaurant thriving and love all of the updates in the building and decorations. I remember when you first opened and I hated to sit inside as it was so very LOUD! Not anymore!! Beautiful ceiling as well as soundproof positive!

    Welcoming and pleasant servers! We shared a cold and crunchy perfect Caesar salad, I enjoyed a fabulous bolognese and my daughter devoured her shrimp and pasta. We will absolutely return. Thank you!

    We always enjoy dining at Polpo! The food was delicious, and our waitress was warm and kind. We had the lobster ravioli and Branzino—both were outstanding. Highly recommend!

    We have dined here many times. This recent visit was good. One of our meals veal parmigiana is not recommended however. It tasted a little rancid and the person in the group decided not to send it back and could not eat it.

    A favorite place of ours when in Avalon. It was nice and quiet during a recent early off-season visit.
