Description



The menu, curated by Nicky Meatballs, leans into traditional Italian plates served in incredibly generous portions. While the dining room is a compact, closely seated space, it maintains a comfortable volume for conversation, making it a popular choice for neighborhood date nights. Standout dishes beyond the namesake meatballs include the rich fettuccine carbonara and the house tiramisu.
