Polpette 71 - Broad Channel

This restaurant is my favorite Italian in Manhattan. This is the black linguine with calamari in a perfectly spicy red sauce. Everything is so fresh and cooked perfectly...wonderful service too

Everybody says they've got the best meatballs in the City. These may actually be those meatballs. Food was great, great staff, and a cool, casual setting.

Great restaurant, really good food and awesome energy

Visited Polpette 71 on December 31st and was pleasantly surprised by the serene atmosphere, a stark contrast to the usual hustle of New York. Tucked away near Central Park, this place is a hidden gem for anyone looking for an intimate dining experience. The dim lighting creates a warm and inviting ambiance, perfect for savoring their mouthwatering dishes. The food here deserves all the praise it can get. Each dish is crafted with care, showcasing a blend of flavors that are both bold and delicate. The attention to detail is evident, and it elevates the dining experience to a whole new level. Service was friendly and well thought out, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. It’s also worth noting the inclusivity with all gender restrooms, though keep in mind there’s no wifi available. Overall, Polpette 71 is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates fine food in a cozy, dim-lit setting. A delightful way to enjoy a meal in the heart of New York.

Great food! The veal tortellini was absolutely incredible. We got there for lunch and it was not busy highly recommended.
