    Make sure to use Angus or the leanest meat that you can afford! I used 85/15 and it was super good, but would have been better with leaner meat!!

    Was looking for a quick & easy meatball recipe, found this one. Went on the reviews & glad we did. They were soo good! We used seasoned plako breadcrumbs which we think helped even more in the flavor department. Loved that it was basic ingredients we already had! And leftovers as meatball subs was great, (a previous reviewer had suggested.

    I thought that these were really easy to make and turned out well. I added some red pepper flakes to spice them up a bit and they tasted great. These meatballs also freeze very well. I make extra and throw them in the freezer, then reheat them in sauce for a quick dinner.

    I just made these meatballs and they are tasteless. I should have made a tester meatball as I usually do but the reviews were so good that I felt it unncessary. Well I won't make that mistake again. They needed more seasoning and punch.
    Sorry, but I will never make this again!

    I will gladly comment when I found out where the location in Pittsburgh for this restaurant is.

    I live in Pittsburgh, but do not know this restaurant. May I have an address.

    I exchanged the panko bread crumbs for gluten free corn flake crumbs and we with the flavor of the meatballs we could tell no difference. They were wonderful!

    I substituted Italian bread crumbs for Japanese and Italian seasoning for basil and oregano (it contained both. The results were delicious! This was the first time I had made meatballs and I was so impressed. I also used garlic salt instead of garlic granulated, so I cut back on the regular salt. My husband still said it was a little salty, but still really good. The meatballs didn't dry out one bit and were filled with flavor. I will for sure make these again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    These were super easy to make! I halved the recipe and used fresh garlic. Tossed them with some penne pasta and marinara sauce. My husband and 3 year old daughter LOVED them. Will definitely make again!
