Really excellent food and service...highly recommend.

Nice sized portions of made to order food. The Caesar salad had plenty of finely shaved Parmesan and a perfect dressing. Pasta was cooked to perfection. Delicious!

Sat outside in their darling back patio. Food was great, wine list was awesome and the service was beyond friendly. Highly recommend!

We love this place! Our daughter is a student at UCLA and this is our special place to eat when we come to town to visit. Food is awesome.

Surprise! Excellent food. Have to walk through the alley to access back patio. Was great until a large private party arrived and we needed to move due to excessive noise

The food is always good here. I had the meatballs with arrabiata sauce. It was quite spice, which I like. There is a nice little dinner salad. The half portion is enough for 2. Don’t miss the cannoli for dessert.

Food and service were phenomenal from the host/manager (?) who immediately greeted us upon entry to the service staff that had my table for a party of 5 ready in seconds before our very eyes, to the server who’s recommendations were great. We were a party of 5 that came in an hour before closing and had a few difficult guests but she held her own. If only I remembered her name. This was my first time back since 2019 and can’t wait to return again.

I thought a place called house of meatballs would have delicious flavored meatballs but my pork ones were bland and the meal overall was not very good and cost $50 for 2 people. My husband had beef meatballs and he didn't notice the taste because his dish was too spicy. Drinks were in a can and $3.50 with no refills and the service was mediocre. We were disappointed and won't be going back.

The service was great The server gave us good recommendations for bottle of wine The food was delicious I loved the back patio

We LOVE House of Meatballs! This is our "UCLA graduation tradition" and we are always greeted with exceptional service, delicious food, and a wonderful experience overall. We had made a reservation to celebrate our daughter's UCLA graduation and the ceremony was running longer than expected. I called to tell them this, and they were so accommodating! We came directly from the ceremony to find our reserved table ready and waiting for us and cheerful service greeting us! Seriously, this is one of our favorite restaurants, as the food is absolutely fabulous and the employees are consistently friendly and top-notch. We will definitely be back!!!!
