    Pre-graduation dinner. I’ve been here before. I’ve only had the chicken meatballs in many different sauces. I can’t say they’re amazing because where I live in Marin County, they have some amazing chicken meatballs. I tried the spinach and ricotta, ravioli, and a light tomato cream sauce, and it was stellar. I tried the chicken meatballs with rigatoni in a pesto sauce, and that was pretty stellar too-the sauce and the pasta not so much the meatballs. The Caesar salad has croutons from their leftover bread. Not so great. And the cheese is not freshly grated. It’s not bad just not great. I honestly think you’d fare better with the regular meatballs. The servers are lovely and efficient. The ambience is nice kind of Trattoria Italian. It’s quite popular, which is a little surprising given how many choices there are in this area. We had a nice time because that’s what we do regardless

    Online reservation was easy. The restaurant was cute and like the set up. Service was excellent and server was very attentive. Food was good. I had a pasta and came with 3 meatballs. I like the fact that you can choose 3 different meatballs and the eggplant was my favorite. Overall I like the experience and would recommend others to try it.

    I dined alone and seated promptly. This was my first time. I was seated promptly. I strongly recommend the tomato arugula salad with sliced almonds and a bright lemon vinaigrette with generous, fresh parmigian shredded cheese. They have several kinds of meatballs. I enjoyed the pork and beef offerings in marinara. Service was very efficient and friendly. I needed several iced tea refills. Will return!

    The food is exceptional and the service as well. The price is very affordable. I live out of state and always come to this restaurant when in town because it is small, cozy and the food is delicious. I recommend the mushroom Marsala sauce in particular. The meatballs are the star of the show.

    I love House of Meatballs! So many choices, everything is solid, it’s a no-nonsense place that does exactly what it’s trying to do, very well. To me what it’s trying to do is be a simple place to get a good meal, at a reasonable price, fairly quickly.
