I really enjoyed this place. The octopus was super tender and tasty. Also, the carbonara was good.I sat at the bar and the bartenders were very nice and chatty. Also the bar is right next to the pianist that is great. We enjoy the whole experience. I could definitely repeat.

Best Italian in CT! The food is delicious, staff is exceptional, and live music is the icing on the cake! Donna the hostess is the sweetest and Avnor always makes sure my experience is great. Definitely try the steak and the truffle ravioli. The napoleon is the best dessert. Worth the trip from out of town for Polpo!
