" My family tried Polpette 71 last Sunday for dinner, and it was a great experience overall. The service was respectful and accommodating, making sure our needs were met throughout the meal. I ordered the meatballs, which lived up to their reputation. My only downside was the wait time, as they seemed a bit understaffed for the evening. But still—aroma and taste were worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my dining experience here! The atmosphere gives off a warm and inviting feel, perfect for unwinding after a busy day. The homemade pasta was heavenly, and the special of the night—lobster ravioli—was out of this world. The staff was friendly and made us feel right at home. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a taste of Italy in NYC! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally got to try Polpette 71, and I’m so glad I did! The meatballs stole the show; I could see why they are the specialty here. The pasta was hearty and well prepared, but it was the service that really stood out for me! They made me feel at home. I can’t wait to come back and savor more dishes soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had dinner at Polpette 71, and while the food was satisfactory, it wasn't as remarkable as I expected from the reviews. The meatballs were good, but I’ve had better elsewhere. The environment was fine—cozy—but the service was a bit slow. I may give it another go in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Polpette 71 is incredible! The meatballs are iconic—truly some of the best I’ve tasted. I also had the chicken piccata, which was a standout as well. The atmosphere felt very genuine, reflecting Italian warmth and hospitality. Be sure to check this place out if you're a fan of Italian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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. " (*Curated Review*)
