The food was better than I expected. It's a rather small restaurant but had a nice meal.

I can't believe I waited this long to try Ammirato's. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. We tried the Italian beef and it was incredible! The sandwich stands out above all of the rest in the area! In fact there is no comparison because it is THAT good! We will be back to try the meatballs soon!

The food here is great. Their speciality as implied in the name is their meatballs and they do not disappoint. They’re using family recipes which is even better. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the mood for good comfort

Will definitely be going back again! We had the meatball bowl, pizza tots, and meatball panini and all were amazing. I had the spicy meatball in my panini and it was delicious. Not overly spicy, just the right amount. Pizza tots were a fun and different appetizer and it did not disappoint. We also had the lemon cake which was very good too. Great customer service as well!

Went in not too long ago on a Saturday for lunch, from the time we walked in, The owners greeted us with a smile and were very personable, which is a lost art these days, so we were very comfortable from the get go, at that time we had multiple questions about the menu and AGAIN the owners explained every question we had in detail with no fluff, I ordered Italian Wedding Soup which is the BEST I’ve ever eaten, and finished with The Mostro… Great big portions and the food itself was amazing, we finished with desert and when we got the bill… again we was pleasantly surprised… I recommend to the highest powers that be that Ammirato’s Meatball Cafe is a hidden Gem and will definitely return for a different item on the menu

I will definitely be ordering from Ammirato's Meatball Cafe more often as all of the food i have tried so far has been absolutely delicious. The Italian beef, chili, cheesy potato soup and the meatball bowls were all amazingly fresh and very tasty, and the portions are rather large for the price. Super cozy atmosphere and friendly, welcoming staff makes this cafe even better! If you're looking for authentic Italian food, this is a must try! You will not be disappointed.

Some restaurants have great food that brings you back even though the people leave you less than impressed and some restaurants you go back only because the people are so amazing even if the food is lacking. But Ammirato’s Meatball Cafe combines some of the most amazing home cooked food that will ever cross you tastebuds with some of the greatest people you will ever meet. Dawns family recipes are not only made to perfection but you can taste the love in every bite. You need to make the trip and experience this food orgasm in your mouth for yourself. You have no idea what you’re missing. Tell Dawn and Geoff Bill sent you and get a free napkin.

I'm writing this review at 5:24pm as I sit in the parking lot waiting for the food I was texted was ready at 4:26pm. I was told they had to make fresh mashed potatoes bc they didn't realize they were out and it would be another 10 minutes. The lady didn't apologize, all she said was "well I tried to call you". I don't typically answer phone numbers I don't know and didn't see the voicemail come through until after I had already arrived to pick up my food. I go back in after 10 minutes and it's "we're getting it together" still no one has apologized. I've now been sitting here for 45+ minutes waiting for the order I was told was ready an hour ago. I ordered online so I could grab and go since I'm also getting food for someone else but this hour plus wait time has guaranteed I will not be back.Update: I finally got my food. Out of everything we ordered, the small cup of soup was the only thing enjoyable. The "white cheddar mashed potatoes" that I waited over an hour for were sub par, the mushroom gravy was packet brown gravy with about 3 mushrooms and the meatballs were just ok; not bad, not great, just ok. Still won't be going back.
