$-$$, Mediterranean, Museum District
Fodor's Review:
This trendy hot spot suggests a simple Italian trattoria at first glance -- until, that is, you notice the '70s shag carpeting covering the walls. The surprises continue, thanks to Pulpo's remarkable friendliness and reasonable prices. So, settle back, groove to jazzy tunes, and splash some Mediterranean sunshine down with a glass of fine Italian wine. The main courses are simple but always top-notch -- few can resist the signature marinated squid with rucola (arugula) and lime, or the ever-popular candied duck. And if you arrive before 6:45 PM, a three-course, preconcert menu will set you back only EUR 26.
