Come to the reopening of Polpetta's café! Try our famous tomato's, picked this morning by the Rossi family. All the childrens' meals are half price this week, the waiters aprons are freshly washed, and our head chefs new menu is on every table. The mens choir will sing at seven. Fresh flower's stand by the door. We can't wait to see you.
