The Meatball Shop

4.8/5 Perfect sauce, cheese, bread, balls. According to Amy, it rivals her grandmother’s meatball. Came with a delicious and extremely complementary arugula and apple salad on the side. The sauce was the perfect amount of spice and the cheese the perfect level of sharp. Top 3 of the summer so far. Also try: the risotto DO NOT try: the beans (bland!!!)

Pork meatballs (with spicy meat sauce and provolone on a hero)

4.5/5 Everyone loved them. Paul Lieberman even got a meatball salad (but with veggie balls so who even knows where that falls..) and he raved. The salad was the same as last year, and it was still good. The problem is that the guy taking my order refused to give us more than 6 sandwiches, so we had to get crafty and place two separate orders. That was annoying…so in the future, call two days in advance for “catering”.
