    Fabulous experience at The Meatball shop before a show on a Thursday night! We had reservations and were seated quickly by a super upbeat staff. The place is small and tables are close together but it wasn’t too noisy and was cozy on a cold New York night. We got our drinks quickly. The three meatball appetizers was delicious and led us to order more meatballs for dinner! The chicken parm was also so good. The server was always sweet and attentive. Will definitely go back next time we are in the city.

    Was good - not great. Service ok, though they argued with us on a beer on tap - as we were leaving they said sorry and were wrong - they did pour the wrong beer.

    Simple menu - great meatballs! The vegetarian ones are also great. Easy going dining experience in a vibrant neighbourhood. Three meatballs in three different sauces is a favourite. Great value too.
