I’m absolutely a creature of habit when it comes to restaurants. I can be quite indecisive when I have to decide what and where to eat. But who isn’t?! As much as I love trying somewhere new, an old favorite is always an easy choice. On today’s edition of Westchester living, I’m sharing an old faithful, Polpettina restaurant in Eastchester New York. Self-described as a “place you want to be on your day off–your home away from home” and I couldn’t describe it any better myself. Polpettina offers casual Italian American food that tastes homemade. There’s a lot of competition offering great Italian food in Eastchester so here’s why I love Polpettina…
The restaurant itself has a cozy ambiance and is never too loud. I hate it when I can’t talk to someone over my meal because I can’t hear myself. Amanda and I arrived around 4:30 p.m. right as they were opening for dinner. Did you know its common for small restaurants to close for an hour in between lunch and dinner to clean up? For me, this just adds to the at-home feel. I have quite a few favorite dishes at Polpettina. So first, Amanda and I had to start will my all-time fave, the truffle parm fries. They also offer bacon and egg fries and trust me they’re a game changer.
Next up I had to have some spaghetti. Not only because it’s a great prop, but because their sauce is delicious! Another fun fact for you – did you know gravy contains or is made with meat whereas ‘sauce’ is not. Since I’m Italian, I call all red sauce gravy out of habit. To add on the being Italian piece, call it what you may, but that fact of the matter is that you can 100% trust my judgment on a red sauce. And Polpettina’s is A1. Amanda and I had to wash all the carbs down with something green so we went for the caesar salad. I know this defeats the purpose but the croutons are the best part!
