House of Meatballs

"This place is so great. Intimate cute atmosphere. Excellent service. Cool wine menu and customized meatball experience. There's more refined Italian food in LA but House of Meatballs is an awesome girls night or date night spot."

"Nice italian place near westwood village. Ordered cream tomato sauce gnocchi with beef meat balls & truffle fries. The food is very good & the portion was big as well! Nice atmosphere with good ambiance, service was on point as well."

"Great service and ambience but food left much to be desired. Calamari was pale and bland. I would not recommend the chicken alfredo because the chicken is extremely dry and rubbery."

"The House of Meatballs is a quaint and cozy restaurant that is always packed when I passed by it. I was seated very quickly and the server was quite attentive up until I ordered my food. My caprese came after about 10 minutes and it was fresh and a great starter to get your appetite going. However, that was where I was left hanging. I waited for about 50 minutes for my Chicken Alfredo, watching a few parties who came after me receive their orders first. I understand that they were busy but it was kind of ridiculous how long I had to wait for a party of 1. To the credit of the server, he did let me know he will check on my order about 30 minutes in, however, there was another 15 minute gap before I asked the server 2 more times about my order. When the Alfredo came, it looked very appetizing and was nice and hot. Unfortunately, this plate was only asthetically pleasing as the chicken was chewy and rubbery while the noodles were slightly undercooked. The alfredo sauce was pretty standard and could use a tad bit more garlic. I wanted to like this place so badly but I just can't recommend the House of Meatballs. The prices are okay for LA standards but the food is simply not worth both the price and the wait. Will this restaurant satisfy your pasta craving? Sure, but not anymore than an Olive Garden."

"This was my second time visiting this restaurant. If you’re eating for lunch, highly recommend their starter bread with a stringy type of cheese: stracciatella with focaccia. We did not have starter bread for lunch, so this was a great addition. The texture and flavor of the cheese with the bread was incredibly layered. I just wished they gave more of the stracciatella cheese. The two pastas ordered were also divine. The pork meatballs have a softer texture than beef, and highly recommend if you also enjoy the taste of pork. The white sauce was really rich, so order it if that’s what you’re craving. My friend really enjoyed their creamy tomato sauce, which has a similar flavor to the classic tomato sauce, but with a thicker consistency and richer flavor. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here. The portion sizes were really filling and definitely recommend this place if you’re craving some good Italian food."
