as with bolognese, one thing to do to make it more "patrician" would be using tagliatelle or fetuccine. Also more suitable would be using fusilli ("Fusilli con Polpettine").
Spagetti are not unheard of in the south, but tagliatelle or fusilli are nicer. Making a soffrito for the tomato sauce will also make it nicer and more "patrician".

Meat balls with peas and pepperoni is also an alternative.

An vegetarian alternative btw, is not only tofu balls or falafel, but also polpette de melanzane, common in liguria and made of eggplant! (pic related)
