Polpettina Opens New Restaurant in Larchmont

The new restaurant is the second one opened in Westchester County.

Polpettina, which has been a favorite Eastchester dining spot since early 2011, has opened a new restaurant in Larchmont.

Owners Kyle Inserra, Joe Lodi and Michael Abruzese, who is also the executive chef, had been on the lookout for an additional space and finally found one at 147 Larchmont Ave.

Kate Sheehan, who handles public relations for the restaurants, said it took four months to get the new restaurant ready to open.

She said the Larchmont restaurant is a little larger—at 50 seats—than the original.

"But it retains the intimacy," Sheehan said, adding that the owners decided to utilize a previously unexposed brick wall and used reclaimed barn wood for paneling throughout the establishment.

The new restaurant will serve the same well-received food as the Eastchester one—the New York Times called their food "fabulous"—there will also be a full bar with standard drinks as well as special pre-Prohibition cocktails.

Polpettina, which is Italian for little meatball, features selections of meatballs that patrons can get in a $10 tasting. The menu describes the chicken meatballs as being made with pickled carrots, scallions, sesame seeds, cilantro.

There are also pasta dishes, including truffled carbonara, Bolognese and penne vodka.

Sheehan said the restaurant serves "real food, locally sourced and globally inspired."

"We try to keep the menu seasonal," she said.

Polpettina in Larchmont is open for lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. every day and dinner from 4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and Sunday. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, it is open for dinner from 4:30 p.m. to 11 p.m.
