Polpetta

This is Polpetta’s new venue - has been for a while now; they used to be at 90° shopping centre. The venue is spectacular with options for both inside or outside seating with a view of the northern suburbs. There is plenty of parking and it is wheelchair accessible. We had the fillet steak which was cooked to perfection with the perfect flavour of smokiness. Their large pizza oven is quite something to behold and they’ve put a lot of effort into the décor. They have the best chocolate cheesecake! Service was friendly and efficient too despite it being quite busy. Booking is essential on weekends. This is a popular venue for all and rightly so! We make a point of visiting when we’re in the area.

You can tell a lot about a restaurant by how involved management / ownership is on the floor. Nobody cares more about your experience at Polpetta than Ivano. He's created and curated a wonderful atmosphere, a fantastic menu, and kitchen and wait staff who genuinely love what they do. There are waiters at Polpetta that recognise me from when I first ate at the old location, 15 years ago. I've never had a bad meal at Polpetta. I do sometimes miss the old spot, but if we want a friendly, fresh, tasty Italian dining experience in Jozi, there's nowhere better.
