The Meatballs

Homemade Meatballs, Two Ways

Our meatballs are made from scratch in-house every day and slow-simmered in our signature San Marzano tomato sauce. As an appetizer, they come served over soft polenta and finished with fresh ricotta cheese and basil — rich, savory, and perfect for sharing. Or go classic with our Spaghetti Meatballs: handmade spaghetti, homemade meatballs, and house marinara sauce.

Meatballs Polenta is $17 on our appetizer menu. Spaghetti Meatballs is $21 on the pasta menu. Kids can get their own plate of spaghetti and meatballs on the children's menu. Real Italian comfort food, nothing frozen, nothing from a can.
