“Blown away by the food, the drinks and the friendly service. Every single thing we ordered was delicious. The apps, salads and super original pizzas, all super tasty. Awesome gluten free crust as well. As someone with an allergy, this is not easy to find. You can tell they use high quality ingredients and really take pride in their food. Excited we live only 10 minutes away!”
“I had a great experience at Polpettina! The pizzas were excellent—crispy crust, fresh ingredients, and full of flavor. I also tried the steak sandwich special, which was a standout. The meat was tender and perfectly seasoned, served on fresh bread with just the right balance of toppings. Another highlight is their Wednesday wine promotion—definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for a midweek treat. It’s a great way to enjoy quality wine at a very attractive price. Overall, a solid spot with great food, good vibes, and thoughtful specials that keep you coming back.”
“Food and drinks were good. Service was subpar. He had an attitude and didn’t check up on us once the entire hour and a half we were there and the restaurant wasn’t even busy on a Wednesday night. Calamari was incredibly salty but we were so hungry we ate it anyway. Vodka lasagna and linguini with clams and mussels were very good. Star of the meal was the creme brûlée which was great and not too sweet. Would come back for food and drinks but not for the service.”
“Tad disappointed in our first visit. Eggplant chips were way too salty and the pizza seemed to lack flavor (which was surprising due to the amount of cheese and pepperoni). It seems they are more known for their thin pizzas so we might need to circle back to try again.”
“Came here on a Saturday. It’s a meticulously designed Italian restaurant with charming vintage touches—the rustic bronze tin ceiling tiles, exposed brick walls, and elegant pendant lighting all add to a warm, stylish atmosphere. That said, the food was just average and felt a bit overpriced for what we got (around $100 for one appetizer, one salad, and one pizza). To be fair, we might’ve just ordered the wrong things. We started with the special garlic “not,” a large, knotted bread served golden and blistered, dusted with parmesan and flecks of thyme. It looked impressive, but it was a little too oily for our taste. The farmhouse salad was colorful, with lots of components—chicory greens, pickled red onions, roquefort blue cheese, cucumber, tomato confit—but the flavors didn’t quite come together. You end up tasting each element separately, mostly the bitterness and salt. The upside-down Sicilian pizza was a thick, square pie with a rich tomato sauce layered over mozzarella. It wasn’t bad, but we just personally prefer the lighter, crispier Neapolitan style. Still, this could be a great spot for a casual Friday night hang with friends or family. Just make sure to find the dishes that really shine on the menu.”
