At Polpetta, our journey is as rich and satisfying as the dishes we create. It all started in 2008 in Morningside, Johannesburg, where the enticing aroma of fresh, authentic Italian cooking drew families, friends, and neighbours together. What began as a small eatery has grown into a beloved destination, known for its warmth, simplicity, and the connections it fosters.
With each new chapter, we’ve stayed true to the heart of Polpetta: serving Italian comfort food made with care and passion. No fuss—just quality, flavourful dishes that bring people together around the table.
As we expand into new communities, we remain committed to our core values: family-focused, owner-operated, and driven by the belief that good food creates lasting memories. Wherever we go, Polpetta will always be about more than a meal—it’s about sharing a piece of home.
