   Easy parking. Always a pleasant experience. Friendly greeting at the reception desk. Seated readily. Our pleasant and efficient server Kapo greeted us with menus and a drink order. Sat for a short while. After a beautiful description of the specials, our order was in. Enjoyed a fine meal with the appetizer of sausage and broccoli rabe, in addition to Mozzarella Caprese actually served with avocado. The chicken Milanese was excellent. No time for dessert but a decent value.

   Best burrata I’ve ever had and the food was great as always. Great service from Kapo in the main dining room.

   Highly recommend the Bronzino on the menu. Prepared simply, the way fish should be, with lovely broccolini. I added a side of capellini in olive oil and garlic. Outstanding. Our wait person was delightful, available, but not intrusive. The only comment, our table of 4 was seated next to a noisy kitchen entrance in an almost empty room. (I should have asked to be moved, but didn’t). We were also delighted with a roasted shrimp first course served on a bed of white beans and burst tomatoes. My husband delighted in the octopus first course, his favorite.

   Otto by Polpo is the kind of place that makes you understand why locals rave about it—a true neighborhood gem. The fettuccine with shrimp, calamari, and white wine garlic sauce was an absolute highlight, with perfectly cooked seafood and a sauce that hit all the right notes of savory and bright. The ravioli con salvia was equally delightful, with delicate pasta and a fragrant, buttery sage sauce that was excellent. Our server, Caplan, was a consummate host—charming, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making our evening special. The entire staff was just as attentive, ensuring our glasses were filled and plates cleared without ever feeling rushed. It’s easy to see why this spot has such a loyal following. The cozy vibe and stellar food make it a must-visit. 5/5 stars
