    We went after seeing a Broadway show. We had one vegan adult, a picky 7-year-old, and three other adults. With one exception, we all loved our food!! The vegan meatballs and vegan Ragu were delicious. The chicken parm was phenomenal, and the Italian wedding soup was also delicious. We had a random side of mashed potatoes that were wonderful. One person did not like the Parmesan cream/ alfredo dish she ordered, otherwise we would have given five stars. But other than that it was wonderful. We will definitely be back!

    We were visiting NYC from England and we loved the Meatball Shop. The meatballs were delicious and a very generous portion. My daughter had pasta arribiata, which she loved, and the chicken parmigan was also excellent. Service was great and the food arrived quickly. I would highly recommend the Meatball Shop to anyone.

    I’ve been here several times and never - not once - had a bad server. They are so sweet, fun and attentive. I’ll continue going! :)

    Staff were great. Lasagna super salty and tiny portion. Spicy shrimp pasta good. Chicken parm was good and much larger portion. The calamari was excellent and very fresh. The meatballs as an app were only okay (chicken buffalo) so that was disappointing. We expected larger portions and better tasting food. We actually would not go again.

    On a whim, we made reservations since it was Valentines Day and we were flying in. 3 different dishes, 2 apps and a shareable side and we had a hard time deciding which was each of our favorites. Highly recommend!
