Acoustic materials displaying coupling between pressure and momentum are known as Willis materials. The simplest Willis materials are comprised of sub-wavelength scatterers that couple monopoles to dipoles and {\it vice versa}, with the interaction defined by a polarizability tensor. We propose a method for retrieving the polarizability tensor for sub-wavelength Willis acoustic scatterers using a finite set of scattering amplitudes. We relate the polarizability tensor to standard T-matrix and S-matrix scattering formalisms. This leads to an explicit method for retrieving the components of the polarizability tensor in terms of a small set of scattered pressure data in the near- or far-field. Numerical examples demonstrate the retrieval method for one and two dimensional configurations.
