Trattoria Polipo

Very nice clean space with a modern look.
I like how the dividers were placed for privacy for our tables.
The food was pretty good as well.
However, the meal I ordered seemed to be needing more salt.
The other plates I tried were perfect.
The special of the day was the best.

Some dishes were too salty or not enough salt.
Very overpriced for the quality of the food.
The waiter didn't really check on us throughout the meal as well.
It seemed way to loud for the amount of spacing between the tables and dividers as well.
Indoor or outdoor seating available.
Paper tables with crayons were given to us even though there were no children in our party.

This is a great Italian restaurant to relax, and they provide the MOST OUTSTANDING service (except serving dirty dishes stained with oily fingers all over and upcharging on dishes without telling you). It’s unmatched in regards to food quality and variety.
And beauty as well! They offer a unique, one-of-a-kind menu. Most importantly, this Italian restaurant actually plays wonderful Italian music! I loved dining here two nights in a row. I chose this place and brought several friends here, and I do want to come back if there’s a guarantee of more ETHICAL behavior from the staff regarding the unethical practices of sneaky upcharging. This week, I came here on Thursday for dinner and brought a friend, loved everything, especially service by Jonathan, and I came back on Friday for dinner and brought with me more friends. WARNING! Dishes were dirty both times. Our glasses and knives were finger-stained with obvious dirty finger prints, which was disgusting and a HEALTH HAZARD. Yes, I went there twice, and the dishes were dirty on both days. The next surprise was unspoken upcharge multiple times without any verbal warning (this never happened to me anywhere). Their food was delicious, beautiful, and consistently impressive.
I had Brussels sprouts, octopus, pasta with mushrooms, risotto with mushrooms, and cheesecake. WARNING! They upcharge for everything without telling you, so beware! I asked not to have cream that comes with cheesecake and replace it with berries instead, they charged me $10 for two slices of strawberries without telling me. I asked that I wanted to have risotto ONLY if it has plenty of mushrooms, the server said it has two mushrooms… I said I’ll have risotto if it’s with plenty of mushrooms, and she upcharged me $8 without telling me. Finally, I had a wine glass, one, it was on a happy hour menu, and the server charged $15 for that glass of wine from the happy hour menu. So, for the food quality, prompt and pleasant service, good variety on the menu, and pleasant Italian music, I’m giving this restaurant fife stars; then for the sneaky unethical behavior with unsuspected upcharges and also for consistently dirty dishes served to me and my friends, I’m taking two stars, and that is the fair rating I’m sharing with our community objectively. For my dinner, for me only, I paid $100 on Thursday and $84 of Friday.
I’m not sure what my friends paid for theirs. I definitely can afford their unethical upcharges, so I intentionally said nothing because my friends and I had a wonderful time and the unethical upcharges weren’t going to be addressed by me at the expense of our good time. I kept quiet because I chose to cultivate only positive memories with my friends. Yet, the unethical upcharges and health-hazardous dirty dishes must stop. The restaurant was not busy: neither on Thursday night nor on Friday was this restaurant actually full of people.
I now understand why: the unethical upcharges will keep your perspective loyal customers (like me) at a distance unless you can commit to ethical service and clean dishes.
