    Enjoyed dinner for two in the off-season, a Friday in November. They have lots of tables, so it wasn't crowded at all -- very pleasant. You can even dine outside if it's still warm enough! Service was pleasant, although it's a team approach and could have been a bit more attentive (like, refill water glass a couple times during dinner). We split the salad special of the day, which was excellent. Shrimp scampi (with rigatoni) was very good, with more like a light blush sauce instead of the usual scampi oil sauce -- I liked it. My wife had chicken Milanese, excellent also. The menu is very large, and surprisingly for the off-season they offered lots of specials. Not so much fish here, but tons of pasta, veal, and chicken dishes. Highly recommended!

    We went on a Monday in Avalon, the only real restaurant open this time of year. Thank goodness! A very nice place to go with noise abatement like tablecloths, carpeting, acoustic ceiling. Hearing at a restaurant is critical and most today are so loud we never return. At Polpo you could hear and have a delicious dinner.
