    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

    We eat there regularly. I called to discuss a few things the person who answered was rude to me then the Chef returned my call and told me he was the owner and then the waiter later revealed it was the Chef. He was very rude to me as well. I have a very serious allergy I wanted to remind them of. We eat here and LaCollina owned by the same owner. I have held parties & business meetings. There was no need to be rude to me. The dessert was dry and really awful.

    It is a BYO that helped to control the cost. The menu was varied, and the food was excellent. There was plenty of parking. Outdoor seating was available. It was my first time there, and I would definitely do it again. I highly recommend this place.
