Polpettone, Italian restaurant and pizzeria in the city center of Orléans, France
Polpettone is an Italian restaurant and pizzeria located in the city center of Orléans, housed in a two-story building with exposed wooden beams throughout. The kitchen prepares traditional Italian dishes featuring homemade pasta and wood-fired pizzas made fresh to order.
The establishment began in 2015 as a small pasta shop before growing into a full-service restaurant operation. The expansion allowed the place to serve up to 80 diners at a time.
The menu celebrates cooking traditions from across Italy, showcasing how different regions have developed their own approach to pasta, pizza, and other classic dishes. This diversity is visible in every course offered.
Tables can be reserved by phone at +33 2 36 17 04 34 and the restaurant welcomes guests Tuesday through Saturday during lunch and dinner service. Advance booking is recommended, especially when planning to visit with a larger group.
Fresh mozzarella is made daily on site using techniques passed down through generations of Italian cheese makers. This hands-on approach creates a product with flavors that differ noticeably from mass-produced alternatives.
