Since we have been on a mission for the best meatballs, we ordered the veal, pork and meatballs with vodka sauce and veal and ricotta meatballs. We also ordered shrimp wrapped in prosciutto, pappardelle with filet mignon tips and the coconut martinis. AMAZING!!!! The veal and ricotta meatballs are the best meatballs we have every had and to our surprise, the marinara sauce was the best we have ever had. That is a real compliment coming from us who dine much and have had some of the best Italian dinners at homes of family and friends. The server was was the best....sorry I didnt get his name. We loved the food so much we ordered take out the next day. Placed an order of the ricotta meatballs, pappardelle with filet mignon tips and a dish of linguine with marinara sauce!!!!!

Ordered battered chicken fingers and chicken skewers. Food was terrible, inedible. Had to throw it all away. Not sure how the meatballs are, but these 2 dishes are horrible. Waste of money - don't order.

Ive ate here a couple tines, meatballs are Ok. However, when going out to eat, who wants 'meatballs'? I make them myself in a variety of ways, and prefer something more diverse when dining out, not $13 for a few meatballs. Id also never offer this to a girl im dating: "Hey, want to go eat some meatballs?" Its your typical SI guido hive. Meatballs and Vodka Pizza draws them like flies to honey. Although meatballs are served here. Also, i parked up on the ample pavement in front of a closed shop... that Michael's doesnt own, yet the female owner came out to complain as if she owns the lot. I was nice, but next time i throw my balls at her

Had one of the best rib eye steaks with broccoli rabe. It wasn’t cheap but it was big and worth the price. Had a nice lemon drop too!

Order the Alfredo Mac and cheese balls it's under the vegetarian options. It's amazing.
The pasta dishes are great no matter which one you try and the specials and the coupons they offer are great
Debra Coppola

First up Tara our server was terrific. We had the Italian egg rolls, stuffed meatballs and Veal Pork & Beef meatballs with spaghetti and vodka sauce. My wife and I agreed this moved to our new #1 go to spot. We are from Jersey and a place in Nutley called Cucina 355 was until today our spot. I’d rather drive the 30 miles to eat here. The egg rolls were outstanding. The stuffed balls were superb. The veal & beef balls were so smooth and the pasta vodka sauce Creamy and coated that every bite was better than the last. Michael’s you knocked it out of the park and Tara your recommended selections spot on. Thanks so much for being part of our day.

I was so excited to see a restaurant with outdoor seating after not going to a restaurant in 3 months . As soon as I saw it I said to my dad let's go there for lunch. So they have 4 tables on the patio and all tables were full but well distanced. The bring complimentary bread and butter to the table which was delicious. So dad ordered the meatball sliders. We're big meatball lovers so we were excited to try especially because the name of the restaurant has meatballs so I had high expectations. Unfortunately we were let down. The meatballs really had no taste. 3 sliders and fries came in the dish . My dad only ate one slider and left almost all his fries. But the fries were good so I'm not sure why he didnt eat them. I ordered the buffalo chicken panini. I thought it was pretty good but there was this bitter taste with the cheese. When I took It off the sandwich I was able to enjoy it. So overall it wasnt great but it wasnt terrible either. I think they need to rethink the seasoning for the meatballs and see what's going on with the cheese and I may return. Maybe I'll try the pizza next time.

Lovely atmosphere, great portions, wonderful friendly staff. Definitely can see why martinis is in the name
