sarah payton: Go for brunch if you can't get in for dinner. Eat the meatball sliders (always), asparagus or sprout homefries, pork chop, burger, any fish dish, spiced fries, pancakes, yumm!

Josh B: Grab a Caesar salad, Spicy Rigatoni vodka (add the Meatballs x 3 / order), double lamb chops then Veal parm, and sizzling pancetta. You won't need dessert, but get an espresso and add sambuca

Kate Huyett: Veal ricotta meatballs and the pickled vegetables are amazing.
Kate Gold: Larger than its East Village sister, Terroir Tribeca has the same high quality food and wine. The veal ricotta meatballs are a must.
Halstead Property: Infamous for their assortment of gourmet meatballs, the beet and gorgonzola rendition of a classic meatball is a delicious second favorite after the veal-ricotta balls

Evan Kleinman: Everything...Lamb meatball sliders, sheeps milk ricotta
Martin R.: Lamb meatballs are the bomb dot com
Beril Esen: Sheep's milk ricotta and the meatball sliders were fantastic, but the spaghetti alla chitarra was too overpowered by the seafood taste and the paccheri was a little too al dente. Nice wine selection!
Danilo: Ask for the Spaghetti with Meatballs! Jesus, I've never felt so satisfied with a meal in my life! And for dessert a Tiramisu! So good and so cheap! Worth going at least three times when in NYC!
Jeremie Gougeon: So good meatballs! A must taste in Manhattan Theater District
Sameepa Shetty: In $32 you can feed 3! Great clam linguini, meatballs & seafood pasta. You'll love the service. Eat at the bar if you can't wait for a seat. Fresh bread basket included!
