We had an absolutely wonderful experience at "La Polpetteria" in Corato. The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel truly welcome from the moment we arrived. The recommendations were spot on and you can tell they really care about their guests. The food was absolutely delicious, made with so much love and attention to detail. Every bite was a delight! Highly recommended - we will definitely come back! 👌👌👌

If I could give this restaurant 20 stars each for food, service and atmosphere, I would. We were visiting during a local event and even though they didn’t have the space to accommodate us right away, we had just a short wait and they even stayed open to serve us. The food is off the charts incredible. Seriously. The BEST Italian food I’ve EVER had. The Polpetteria were unlike anything I’ve had before and I loved all the different varieties. The owner made sure that our party had PLENTY of food, kept bringing different things to try and it was all fantastic! I’m a fairly picky eater and I ate everything. The eggplant Parmesan was my favorite. I have had a lot of trouble finding it fresh where I live and this was like heaven. Overall I HIGHLY recommend this hidden gem discreetly tucked away in the heart of Corato. It’ll be the first restaurant (and I’ll definitely be back multiple times on my next trip) I visit on my return. Thank you for an incredible experience and for your hospitality La Polpetteria! Also I put down moderate noise because we were a little loud and had a lot of fun. It’s possibly a lot quieter when you don’t have a big group of hungry filmmakers in there 🙂

We ate lunch at this incredible Puglian restaurant just yesterday…and are still reflecting on our wonderful experience. Friendly, attentive service is just the start. It’s the LOVE in the food that has us wanting to go out of our way to come back. It is a small local establishment with maybe ten tables inside - but more outside to accommodate their loyal customers. The owner even poured us some of his family’s olive oil, with local bread…in a word AMAZING 🤩 We hope to return - Grazie Mille 🙏

If you’re after great food with a fun dining experience, this is must visit when in Corato Puglia. The food was accompanied by a brief description by Nunzio about each specialty dish. We had more dishes than those in the photos posted and all were delicious with a satisfying mmm! with every bite. A special thanks to Nunzio for the warm, friendly and memorable service that made my family feel at home at La Polpetteria.

Sorry but 42 EUR for 2 x 9 meatballs and a bottle of water feels a bit like a scam... It feels like they gave us the special "tourist price" for our meal. The meatballs itself were excellent, even more than excellent, the atmosphere was nice and the service was good... but the bill left us speechless and with a bit of a sour taste. Especially, if you can order take-out on Deliveroo on their websites for A LOT CHEAPER!! (5 balls for 6,60EUR).

I would definitely highly recommend this place if they offer more transparency about their prices!!

I don't normally leave reviews.. for this, I will make an exception.

I came here because I have a friend in the area who took me here. English will be a struggle, but it was one of the greatest eating experiences of my life. The staff are beyond welcoming. It's a fun atmosphere that I've never had before. The food is something that is beyond my dreams.

If you can make it here, it's a must.

We saw great reviews on TripAdvisor and they were not wrong!! My husband and I each got a three choice of polpette dish - all different and they are all great but now, we do have it favorites! 😉 Great, friendly service. We will be back!! Highly recommended!!

Perfect for take away but with some interesting surprise.
Small place not elegant at all but the kitchen is simply amazing.
If you decide to eat there you'll taste delicate combination of traditional ingredients, an incredible reinterpretation of regional kitchen.
Excellent wine selection, staff is friendly and professional.
Not espencive.
