What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Jerry Longo's Meatballs & Martini's offers a vibrant ambiance and some standout Italian dishes, particularly its famous meatballs and gluten-free pasta. While many praise the attentive service and lively atmosphere, some diners have experienced issues with flavor consistency and rushed dining experiences, especially given the higher price point.
"Very good meal, very good service, very nice atmosphere. It was a little pricey, but the food was definitely worth the money. I thoroughly enjoyed the famous meatball and when I went back to get a picture of the oven the other staff that I came in contact with we're very friendly. All together, it was a nice restaurant experience."
Michael J. Metzger
"The food had no flavor. We asked for Italian seasoning and the waitress said they didn't have any. This IS an Italian restaurant. The spaghetti sauce tasted like it was straight out of the can. The meatball had no flavor, and they are suppose to be famous for it."
Mary Gaudet
"The Server, Laurel was very attentive and provided great service. We came without a reservation but was able to be seated in a Bar Tender assigned area. Our pasta was ok, but the Calamari and drink was great. Overall good experience!"
