Polpettina Expands Seating and Hours

If you've been frustrated in attempts to get into Polpettina in Eastchester, give them another try. After a long battle with the Village of Eastchester they have finally expanded their dining room into the space next door and there are now many more tables. Famous for their delicious meatballs, pizzas and pastas, this homestyle eatery with locally-sourced ingredients will please foodies and "meat and potato" diners. For me, it's a challenge to order because between the regular menu and special items like lamb meatballs and foie gras, it's difficult to choose.

In addition to expanding the dining room, Polpettina has also expanded their hours. They are now offering family style dining for tables of 6-10 people every Monday through Thursday at 5 pm and 6:30 pm. The four-course week night dinner includes a selection of salads, appetizers like fried calamari and mussels fra diavolo and flavorful entrees such as eggplant parm, pasta Bolognese, porchetta and roasted chicken. All for just $30 including a dessert of zeppoles (donuts with powdered sugar) or gelato.

Poplettina is now also opens on Sundays at 10 am for brunch. The new menu looks like a good reason to get up and out of the house. Some of the items that caught my eye were the croissant French toast, featuring a Balthazar croissant, NYS maple syrup with sliced banana, the house cured salmon with bagel chips, hard boiled eggs, capers, marscapone and pickled red onion and the brunch pizza with sliced potato, LQ Farms prosciutto, egg and house-made mozzarealla. Sounds divine!

So even though they don't take reservations, now that they have doubled in size, getting into Polpettina should be a whole lot easier.
