5% Cash Back at Mama's Meatball

Don't let the whimsical name fool you. Mama's Meatball is all about fine Italian cuisine prepared by Chef/Owner Nicola Allegretta. Yes, the setting is casual and the pricing moderate, but that's to give patrons from all walks of life the opportunity to enjoy Italian cuisine on a par with the finest served anywhere at any price. In short, these folks believe in the democratization of dining, and for that reason, most items are offered in small or regular portions and priced accordingly. The menu includes an almost daunting lineup of Salads, homemade Soups, Pastas and Panini. But beyond that, expect an equally awesome rundown of Pizzas, Seafood and Meat Entrees and, of course, marvelous Desserts. It's worth noting that the menu changes seasonally to incorporate the freshest ingredients available, and the options pay homage to both tradition and innovation. The restaurant is associated with a full-service catering operation, so you can rest assured everything is made fresh onsite, including the pastas, sauces, breads and confections. Specialties include the chef's Pumpkin Gnocchi, Seafood Lasagna, Pork Loin Dijon, and Rack of Lamb Barolo. But save room, because the Torta di Cioccolato is as close to heaven as you can get in this life.
