    We saw the restaurant on a TV show We ordered the NY Meatball hero. The meatballs tasted like home. . We could’ve eaten the entire sandwich, but we decided to take half home to enjoy later. Warmed them up in the toaster oven, and it was fantastic! Definitely will visit there next time in NY!

    The food was fantastic! The Paper Plane I ordered was one of the best I've had. Kudos to the bartender! Great value. Prices were more than reasonable, and we left stuffed!

    Nel complesso un bel locale con camerieri premurosi. Consiglio di mettere il ghiaccio nella tap water. Le polpette sono sfiziose, buone, gustose. Il prezzo è onesto.

    I was only in the city for a day so I researched a restaurant I wanted to try. This was the PERFECT choice!! Extremely inviting as soon as you walk in (or at least that’s the greeting I got) 😉 I loved the ambience and the banter I had with my server/bartender. Since I was eating alone, I sat at the bar. I would advise that everyone order the Caprese! Delicious! And, the meatballs Did Not DISAPPOINT! Everything about The Meatball Shop was perfect. I completely enjoyed my time there and I will definitely revisit!
