Cosy, welcoming and a full of life - a great place to share stories, meatballs and wine with someone special. The Love Potion & Holy Frappe cocktails are delicious. Be prepared to wait for a table...
Terrific food,fast & efficient service,Great venue,inexpensive & has a great NY retro vibe.Only downside - hip hop/rap music at decibels does not match the ambience or crowd that attend.
Brilliant how they served the Burrata within a nest of tasty breadcrumbs to keep the cream from sliding off the cheese board !
Small menu but just the right amount of choices. Simple and elegent. Perfectly matched with beer or wine . The perfect restaurant for a date night .
Long wait to get in and for the food to arrive. Also a bit pricey but the quality is top notch. Make sure you have the chilli oil with your bread . Meat & Cheese starter is great
Almost identical to the Meatball Shop in NYC except not as accommodating to substitutions. If you like this place, you must try the New York version!
The beefs balls with tomato sauce and smashed potatoes is perfection. Got there at 9 and didn't have to wait. (Get drinks and snacks at GoGo Bar beforehand.)
You really need to have the burrata and Proscuttio with an aperol spritz before you get into the beef meatballs on a bed of mashed potato
Meatball smash is worth the money. Pastas were a delight too.
Humorous menu and vibe, great service and amazing meatballs ! And their Whoopie Mac was pretty epic for dessert !
Worth the 30 minute wait. Cured meats are exceptional in particular the truffle salami . The Polenta is a good choice to have with your balls.
Chicken meatballs with red sauce on veggies . Exceptionally tasty, filling, and relatively guilt-free!
Should try beef meat balls with pasta and pesto sauce . Loved it. Plus do not order lemon lime bitter!!! :)
The special balls are always fun and never disappoint. Otherwise, pork , red with mash .
Great coffee . Friendly service and awesome decor. Try this spot for breakfast . It promises not to be a balls up!
Try the beef tomatoe on mash balls. Awesome. Great wine to go along side it as well
They tend to overcook the pasta but the meatball and spaghetti is still really good.
Yes. You'll probably have to wait. But seriously. The wait is worth it. What are you waiting for?! Get here!!!
The pork balls are good, but the beef in the red sauce is just perfect. Don't overthink it.
Awesome hearty meals . Meatballs with green sauce . Decently priced
Vego meatballs , green (pesto ) sauce, fresh pasta . Winning combo.
Meatballs are amazing (esp pork ) but whoopie mac is hard to eat - share one between two.
Amazing amazing amazing. Try the pork meatball with green sauce .
really tasty food, dope ass tunes & very friendly staff . triple win!!
Get the truffle salami ! Top notch cured meat dish. #tastytruffle
Order the ribs if you see them on the specials board!
Excellent lunch set menu for groups.
I like their balls. Excellent wine too
Meatballs moist and delish however the desert was disappointing too soggy
Go for the pork , the beef was done well but the pork was something special.
Whatever you have, get it with polenta !
Fresh-squeezed lemon and lime juice in their cocktails ......Niiiiiice!!
The chicken meatball is really nice
The staff is very kind and the meatballs are delicious
Cornish orchard cider with beef ball sliders . Fantastic.
Beef meatballs , tomato sauce and potato smash - Amazing!
The holy trinity for your balls, green, pork and mash
Fish meatballs
Pork meatballs , green sauce on polenta . Good combo.
The menu is awesome. Give it a read through!
Really disappointing. Portions small, leaving you just under satisfied. You'd HAVE to get the dessert or an extra side to feel like you've had a meal. Not enough sauce in ratio to balls & starch. No.
Prosciutto starter was simple but amazing.
Fish option surprisingly great.
Get in before 5pm to avoid queuing for hours.
Having been before, I was very disappointed tonight. Service DISGRACEFUL. Staff entertained friends before seeing to genuine customers. Food took 1 hour to arrive. Every element of meal was terrible.
Pleasant service but not very knowledgeable on wine or accommodating to our party.
Get the polenta
Stupid 1.5 hr waiting list!! Burata mozzarella and meat board were a good start, meatballs a good texture. Whoopie mac was terrible. Terrible! Mac was stodgy and too tough and coffee ice cream bland.
great meatball sliders
Oh sweet baby Jesus / spaghetti and meatballs
Great cozy secret basement in the city. Service was great and good wine list. Food was so-so but I've been assured it's usually really good. Great for catching up over drinks. - Veeveeviivii
An amazing experience in every way!! Incredible freshly sliced salami and possibly the best pasta around. Definitely recommend this place. - Kyrie Anne
Amazingly friendly and soooooo child friendly. They went out of their way to make us comfortable, chat with the kids, who can complain about free ice cream and a night cap for the adults! - Valentina Borbone
The best Thai dishes I've ever had outside Thailand! Son In Law Eggs, Beef Short Rib, and Caramelised Sticky Pork. - Ekkapong T.
The visitor center was very helpful. There is also free wifi and plenty of seats if you need a rest. - Tracy Morgan
Delicious cocktails and lively athmosphere. Perfect for when you have to wait for a table upstairs in the always busy Chin Chin restaurant. - Yondering Monkeys
