Great meatballs and pasta. Pick your meatball type (regular, chicken, spicy, etc) then pick you sauce. My spouse got the pesto pasta with chicken meatballs, it was great and a good sized portion. I got the classic meatball and a veggie side. We were both very pleased with our experience!

We went there to try meatballs as we heard they are specialised in meatballs. My husband had veggie meatballs and I had spicy one. Roasted broccoli was nice too. We could’ve ordered more but sorry they were so filling. Come and try!

Delicious. Lots of options. I enjoyed a classic meatball sub with pork meatballs while my wife enjoyed the chicken meatballs anda salad. Perfect amount for a mid-day bite after touring the Brooklyn Brewery!

It took something like 10 minutes for the waiter come to my table - only after I called him.
The menu is not big, but looked interesting.
Ordered regular meatballs with rigatoni’s - they were out of spaghetti.
The meatballs tasters like flour, so very disappointing.

This is a terrific place for a lunch or dinner. The menu is simple but everything ws delicious. We're a family of 4 so we tried 4 different items - all great. Good service too. I loved the spicy meatball with the peppers and onions sauce, but the pesto was amazing too. They had great vegan choices too.

Had a great meal here last week on our trip to New York. We were served by Olivia she was super friendly and welcoming! The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. The atmosphere was great as well.

Loved this place. Popped in for drinks while on a visit to Brooklyn and enjoyed it so much we popped in the next day for food. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the food was excellent.

The classic meatball with tomato sauce was excellent. We went as part of a good tour and I wanted to stay and try other things. Nice place, good service and excellent meatballs.

I went here with my daughter the other night. There are so many choices of meatballs and how they are served! The waiter was very helpful. I got the classic meatballs (2) and spaghetti (al dente) and we shared a delicious carrot dish. Definitely a good place to eat.

A friend of mine took me here and spoke highly of this place. Being someone who doesn’t eat red meat, I was surprised that they had white meat alternatives. I had the chicken meatballs with lemon butter and it was honestly delicious!

My husband and I visited this amazing restaurant on a Brooklyn Food Tour, and we were absolutely blown away by how delicious our food was! These were possibly the most delicious meatballs I've ever had. The staff and the ambiance were both warm and inviting. We can't wait to come back!

We’ll be honest here. This wasn’t our planned first stop. That first place was booked so we came here. We are SO glad the first place was booked. This place was nice. The staff was amazing. The bartender was friendly and super attentive and we didn’t even sit at the bar.
When he took our order we explained about a food allergy. He took his time with order, ran to the kitchen, checked and came back. Later the manager came over and made sure everything was served correctly. Wonderful people. Great place.
