Cute little restaurant. Food is great, service was a bit slow but our waiter was brand new and it was peak Saturday night dinner. There's a place on Long Island that offers a similar menu, but has more flexibility so I'm a bit biased as to what you can do with the balls (like get sliders, pasta or mix and match). Overall, worth it!

When I tell you I could eat at this place every single day I could. It was so amazing that i came back 2 nights later to try something else. Try the apple cinnamon margarita if you go omg. You guys this has definitely been my favorite place I've ate at in a very long time.

Came here for a Double Date with some friends and their 6 month old. The staff were accommodating and attentive to our needs. The meal was delicious and our food came out in a fairly quick time period, although we received our appetizer about halfway through the meal. It was loud, but not so loud we had to shout. The playlist was excellent. We were singing on and off throughout our meal! Overall an excellent evening at The Meatball Shop West Village.

I’ve had dinner here a few times and my experience has been relatively the same. The food is good, very heavy and rich. I would go with the classic meatball. The service is okay. The staff seem fairly unorganized and it’s hard to get anyone’s attention. That’s not helped by the fact that it’s extremely noisy. I was really turned off however by the prices and the way they nickel and dime you. They charged us $1 because we asked for extra Parmesan. Really?.. probably won’t be back.

As a frequent Meatball Shop customer, this is one of my favorite locations for this chain. It's always a little quieter than the Hell's Kitchen one, and so many bars to pop around to after grabbing a bite. Food obviously always gets a 10/10.

It was a fun experience and the staff was excellent, very friendly. The Caesar salad was not as fresh as I would expect ... some of the lettuce was browning. Definitely not worth the $9 price tag. The meatballs were good, tasted homemade, and tender, but I wouldn't say stellar. Overall glad we tried this place but would not rush back.

When we arrived we were immediately seated with our reservation. Our waitress was amazing and was very knowledgeable about the food. Both the cocktails and the food was above expectation. The ambiance was perfect, great music and slightly low lite. Smaller space but not too crowded. I choose a classic meatball and classic tomato sauce. It came with 4 traditional meatballs and spaghetti, great portion, and very tasty. My friend ordered the chicken meatball and parmesan cream and she loved it! For cocktails, we ordered a seasonal Moscow mule and strawberry margarita - which were both above expectations. Highly recommended!

You need to put these balls in your mouth as soon as you can!! From the appetizers, to the unlimited options of balls, sauces, and sides, you will NOT be disappointed. Have everyone order something different and then play musical balls. The staff is ready to guide you on your journey to sample the variety of their delicious balls.
