Soul Food In Corato

Friendly and family atmosphere, small place but with some outdoor tables, very nice guys, super meatballs and pasta all'assassina!!!!

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 🙏

For those who want to experience a journey of flavors and traditions, I recommend trying their meatball tasting. Everything is made fresh, and the wait is worth it. The place is small but cozy, and the staff is friendly and helpful, ready to offer advice.

The meatballs were good, with a lot of variety, and the staff was very kind.

Excellent place with very kind and helpful staff.

Rustic but very, very beautiful place, the staff are kind and always available, and the owner is truly lovely. We chose the tasting menu of the entire meatball set... what can I say... an absolutely delicious delicacy. We also tried their spaghetti all'assassina and they were phenomenal. Excellent value for money. I can only recommend it.

Great experience. We ordered two different triptychs so we could try a little bit of everything. Everything was appreciated, very good.

In a family-run location, you'll find friendliness with the owner Nunzio and competence and professionalism with Emanuele...an exceptional tasting of meatballs and panzerotti...attentive and meticulous service by Maria, culinary emotions that you haven't experienced for years...excellent quality, I recommend to everyone

Polpetteria in Corato, a dream, everything gluten-free! Various types of meatballs; we ordered a trio, three different types for €13. The assassina ones are fabulous; we'd love to try them all! The place is in a secluded area with limited indoor parking, but there's outdoor seating in the summer. The decor is cute, like street food.
