" I truly enjoyed my meal at Polpette 71! The Italian-American fusion is spot on, and it feels very authentic. I had the veal special, which was incredible, paired with a side of fresh vegetables. The service was attentive without being intrusive, which made our experience pleasant. This place is a must-try for anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Polpette 71 given the rave reviews, but my experience was a bit mixed. The meatballs are indeed on the larger side and flavorful, but I found the pasta to be overcooked, which is a big no for an Italian place. The waiter was friendly but didn’t check on us as often as I would have liked. The ambiance was inviting—perfect for a date night, but overall, I may just go there for takeout next time.
