Have heard good things about this place. So I had to check it out. And was truly blown away by this sandwich from Popletti. I got the soprano on seeded roll with banana peppers and omg I was screaming sitting my car eating it bc it was SO GOOD. They have a pretty extensive menu, and I will definitely be going back to explore more of it. Additionally, they had lots of other items like packed to go meals and sauces, pastas, beverages, and other cute gifty items for pet lovers. It appears to be multiple small businesses located in this space. The staff was super welcoming and helpful. There is a small dining area inside with 4(?) seats. Looks to be a popular take out spot. You can order ahead of time, but I ordered in person. They told me it'd be 15 mins so ran to the store, came back and it was ready. The sandwich was phenomenal. Everything was fresh and flavorful. And they give you a lot, enough for 2 meals for me. Can't wait to go back! read more

Place rocks. Had a sandwich and it definitely was top tier. You'll be glad you went. Was quick and made well

fter hearing great things about Polpetti Italian Sandwiches from a friend, I decided to bike over and check them out. They're tucked inside the Market on Meadow store, which I thought was new, but they've actually been there for about three years. The owner recently bought the building and plans to rebrand since they're now the only vendor there. Even better, they're opening a second location at Harrison and Grace St. soon! I ordered the Soprano sub, and it was absolutely incredible. It comes loaded with hot soppressata, capicola, ham, sharp provolone, arugula, olive salad, red onion, vinaigrette, and mayo on fresh bread. I added sweet peppers and banana peppers for a little extra punch, and it was a great choice. The flavors were perfectly balanced--the salty meats paired beautifully with the tangy olive salad and sharp provolone, while the vinaigrette and mayo brought everything together. The bread was amazing--crusty on the outside, soft on the inside--and it turns out they get it from New York City! The owner is such a nice guy, and we ended up chatting for a while about his bread sourcing and plans for the business. You can tell he's passionate about what he does, and it really comes through in the food. Polpetti is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise it gets. Whether you're a sandwich aficionado or just looking for a great meal, this spot is worth the visit. I can't wait to come back and try more--and to check out their new location when it opens! read more

I've always been a fan of Auntie Ning's but this was my first time in the market. I called in for pickup and my order was ready when I got there 10mins later. All the sweets looked enticing so I inquired about buying some from Polpetti. I love sfogiatelle so that was on my list. The owners let me taste a bunch of the sweets before buying. I forgot what everything was called, but I got a small box assortment for $5. I'll def have to come back for some NY bagels! read more

This is mostly for the Auntie Ning's portion of this 3-business brick-and-mortar. Highly disappointed. I've done the food truck twice before and both times was underwhelmed. Though I'd give it one last chance at their new location and am certain I will never be back. The breakfast bowl looks NOTHING like their marketing photos of it. I actually thought the pork was potatoes just looking at my dish (all fat). The eggs were hard as hell. Zero flavor. No green onion like in their photos. The pancit is purple. Pancit is not purple. Use green cabbage instead. The lumpia is okay, but definitely not anything to write home about. To top it off, the girl at the counter couldn't even give me a receipt because the machine was broken? She wrote down prices for me incorrectly three times. I had to tell her it was incorrect three times. She didn't even think to punch in the order again to get the full total on the machine (then void it). I had to tell her that's how to get the price I paid. Bless her heart. Nowhere to sit other than two stools in the window. Didn't and will not try the other market items. read more

Good food, great people. The sandwiches are the best in Richmond. The owner (Peter), who is normally at the register, is such a kind person. He also drives to New York once a week to get the best ingredients he can find. I'll definitely be rooting for their continued success, we need more spots like this in Richmond with passionate owners. read more

Their Turkey Pesto on Ciabatta with banana peppers is everything and more. That ciabatta was soooo good and the salty, sweet, tangy, herby flavors in that first bite should be shared with the world so go ahead and give it a try. Be mindful that there's usually only 1 person crafting up these beauties but it's worth the wait! read more

Market on Meadow's sandwich game is strong. The may be a tad on the pricey side with your average sub running about $15 but man oh man they are worth every cent. They are giant and packed with the most delicious, fresh ingredients! Definitely enough for two or to save for another meal or you can just live your best life like me and eat the whole damn thing! Can't risk that delicious bread being soggy later, you know?! They also serve up some seriously yummy salads. And at the bargain price of $5 for a side it's a great deal because they are like dinner size! Next time you are craving a sandwich give it a go at Meadow! read more

We were driving through and decided to stop in for a snack. We ordered a pastrami sandwich and pork adobo. Both were on point! The pork adobo was like my titas (aunties) would make. The pastrami sandwich is just as good as if you ordered it from a NY deli. I was a bit disappointed that there were no desserts I could see. If you're serving Filipino food, you should at least have leche flan or even some halo-halo would be great. read more

My neighbor turned me onto this place and I love it. I have been here twice, and both times I ordered the Soprano on a seeded roll with long peppers. It is amazing. I'm going to try some of the other things on the menu the next time I stop by. This is a to-go restaurant, but they have a couple seats by the window. You can place your order online so that you can skip the wait. read more

I just had an absolutely phenomenal sandwich from Polpetti at Market on Meadow. Moved to Richmond from Brooklyn 3 years ago and have been searching for a place that makes something remotely as good as this, and honestly this was better than what I was looking for. The seeded semolina bread is just like back home (because as I found out, it actually is from NYC). The soprano sandwich is an amazing italian sub. Must go in Richmond. read more

Sandwiches are so good! Also the owner is really nice. Took my brother here and he really enjoyed it. read more

Stopped in out of curiosity not really knowing what to expect, and was very pleasantry surprised! My girlfriend and I were just looking for a snack, not aware that this place mainly served meals, but the owner of Polpetti was very friendly and offered us some free soup. The baker had very nice hair and was twisting garlic knots like they'd been doing it their whole lives. We ended up trying some fresh baked bread with mozzarella and tomatoes on top, and it was incredible. Made us feel like we were living a romantic Italian life for sure. Will definitely be back to try more items from Polpetti's in the future! read more

Best local, family owned business. Love the polpetti - sandwich on focaccia as well as the kale ceasr with chicken cutlet. They sell CBD wine and fun stickers and great take home fresh pasta and sauces!!!! Go for wholesome vibes and great food read more

Definitely have to go there!! If the three establishments located inside Auntienings Ning's is my favorite!! Being Filipino myself, they serve traditional favorites with great taste! But being from New York- I can't resist the bagels (brought in from Brooklyn) that Popeletti's offers! It's a must to go!!! read more

Sandwiches were amazing. I highly recommend!!! Ordered through door dash. They didn't ring my doorbell so they left it out on the porch for me to discover after they left. read more

Hidden gem! Never disappointed with the quality and flavors. Food that's made my people who care and have been cooking for years! Love it! read more

Bistek was terrible, looked like you dipped the beef in soy sauce and threw it in the oven. We ordered garlic rice and what we received was a mix of half cooked rice that was again covered in soy sauce, not even any evidence of garlic inside of it. The adobo has no vinegar taste and once again fits the theme of dousing everything in soy sauce and calling it a day. The pancit is just a pile of dry noodles with a speck of onion and celery. I wouldn't buy this food for a quarter of the price seeing as it's not even really Filipino food. Poor service, took an hour to prepare 4 entrees. It looks and feels like all they did was microwave it all. read more

Beefsteak was terrible, looked like you dipped the beef in soy sauce and threw it in the oven and not fully cook. We ordered garlic rice and what we received was a mix of half cooked rice that was again covered in soy sauce, too much and salty, not even any evidence of garlic inside of it. The adobo has no vinegar taste and once again fits the theme of dousing everything in soy sauce and calling it a day. The pancit is just a pile of dry noodles with a speck of onion and celery. I wouldn't buy this food for a quarter of the price seeing as it's not even really Filipino food. Poor service, took an hour to prepare 4 entrees. It looks and feels like all they did was microwave it all. I will not recommend this place , not worth the money and it's over price. The only good is the lumpia because it is fried. They must call their garlic fried rice as TOO MUCH SOY SAUCE FRIED RICE. I'm very disappointed. read more
