    We cannot recommend this restaurant more!!! We’ve been coming here FOREVER and have never ever had a bad meal! If you’re going to be a first time diner start with a pot of mussels or the calamari….then the veal chop😘 Crème brûlée and cappuccino, end scene❤️

    I’ve been coming to Meta since it’s opening. I’m never disappointed. Everyone is friendly and the food is delicious. There’s also some new items on the menu.

    Another outstanding dinner at Meta. It couldn't have been any better. From the time we walked in and got our friendly greeting from Michele to the time we left, everything was perfect. Meta is my favorite! Try the chicken parmigiana.

    We all loved Meta! We were greeted upon arrival, our table was ready and the service was immediately attentive. We shared delicious burrata and baked clam apps with extra bread for dipping. Our entrees included chicken parm, rigatoni with sausage and a special penne with shrimp, broccoli rabe and tomato in garlic and broth. We had no room for dessert but maybe next time because I can’t wait to go back! The menu is interesting and portions quite plentiful!

    Food is consistently good. Service is always friendly and they make you feel at home. Noise level is not an issue. We’ve always been able to visit with friends at a normal level. We will be back again.

    Amazing as always. I consider myself a regular now and can't say enough about the food, the service, the ambiance, everything. Just seeing Michele's smiling face is uplifting, and then it gets better! Thank you and see you soon.
