    This place is a GEM!! My meatball loving family truly enjoyed this meal! Vegan meatballs were great. We tried the buffalo chicken meatballs (loved), classic meatballs (fantastic) and more. The bruschetta is fantastic. The staff was very accommodating. If you are craving classic Italian food, this is fantastic option.

    Four friends in the city for the day. My one friend got the kale salad and she said it was excellent. Two of got the 3 meatballs w/ the garlic parmesan cream sauce and it was good. Since it was a cream sauce it was filling. The meatballs were very tasty and you can tell they are made fresh and not frozen. My third friend got the 3 balls w/ regular marinara sauce and she really enjoyed it. I was the only one who could not finish my meal and got a doggie bag. The only bad thing I can say is, that it is not a big place and you do get a little crammed in for seating, but I would definitely recommend this place to eat. The host was also our waiter and he was fantastic.

    We popped in for dinner on a Friday night with reservations. They were super friendly and prompt on arrival. Service was outstanding, and the food was excellent. The meatballs and chicken parmigiana were some of the best! Would definitely recommend.

    We had a great meal and service! Definitely have a hello shot and espresso martini. The original meatballs and lasagna were spot on- just like your Italian mom makes!

    Delicious. Different. Don’t miss. We looked for something unique and The Meatball Shop did not disappoint. The food was fantastic. Service is friendly, attentive, and exemplary. Four of us were served in perfect time without being rushed. We highly recommend.
