The Meatball Shop

Editorial Review

The Long Tail as applied to restaurants, serving a niche specialty out of a rustic wood and white tile space. Fortunately, everybody loves meatballs. Especially when they're cooked up by serious chefs (SPQR and Le Bernardin are on the résumé here.) All meat ground in-house, enjoy your patties as sliders, heroes, or naked as they day they were born. Spin-off Village location boasts family-friendly takeout, kids' menu on weekday afternoons.
