    Totally disappointed. My husband and I arrived a little before our reservation. We were seated right away but I turned down the first table as I was right next to the hostess stand. This was not our first time here but it will be our last. We ordered the calamari and shrimp appetizer. Little bit of calamari and 2 shrimp. My husband ordered veal Milanese which was a piece of heavily breaded veal with lettuce on top. I had chicken piccata. 2 extremely thin slices of chicken and capers. We didn’t realize sides were not included and the waitress didn’t offer any. We will never go back there again. We made the 45 minute ride from where we live to go home hunyas we were both upset and didn’t want to get dessert there. After my review the restaurant reached out to me and apologized for our experience and invited us back for a better experience. THANK YOU Polpo
