The polpo appetizer was delicious. Cocktail shrimp was large and meaty. Boullabiasse was full of seafood. Our server Amina was so attentive and sweet. We ate outside. The music inside sounded lovely but we were worried about Covid and didn't go in. Overall experience was ok. Maybe because we were outside?

Very good food and service. However, the noise level is excessive and the tables for two are located in the worst areas of the restaurant (ie, near bussing stations, in highly trafficked areas, in doorways). I’ll never go there as a part of 2 again.

The restaurant is great for a business dinner and lunch as prices are very expensive for the basic Italian fare . As a descent atmosphere , dates inside with a country casual vibe . I am not likely to go back as many other better options in Greenwich for the money and value .

Polpo is a classic spot in Greenwich. The atmosphere is lively. The drinks are superb. We were seated near the restroom, which was unfortunate. While the service is excellent, the food has declined here. We had the roasted chicken, which was dry. Still a great spot, but the food is better at other spots in Greenwich.

While the food is very good here, especially the grilled octopus, we felt supper rushed to get in and out. We could not order appetizers without ordering entrees at the same time. When we said we needed more time the waiter stood over the table making suggestions until we picked something. When we were winding down a waiter stopped over every 5 minutes to clear the table. I have eaten at here once before and loved it. Very disappointed this visit and will not be going back.

We ordered the lobster bisque and it was not a "bisque" more like soup with no flavor. My salmon was not cooked (raw) and had to be sent back. Unfortunately, a very disappointing lunch. I've eaten there plenty of times before and had wonderful meals. I'm wondering if the chef was on vacation.

Great experience. Very good and honest bartender at very crowded bar waiting for table. It was somewhat dark and I didn’t put my reading glasses on. Bill for two drinks was $47. I had thought it would be less than $40 and had what I thought was two $20 bills. Went scrambling to get another $20 and somehow gave him two $100’s and a $20. He came back from the register to say I should put on my reading glasses as I had given him $220. We had a good laugh and the drinks were good!

The food and ambiance at Polpo are always good … I’ve eaten there for many years. That said, after a few months out of town, I found the service a bit slow and sloppy. Additionally, I found the prices very high for what we ordered. A light dinner for two people cost ~ $300 … that is expensive in Manhattan. It is a good meal in a fun space but don’t go looking for value.
