The Meatball Shop
"A Thoroughly Modern Meatball." - New York Magazine
Childhood best friends Daniel Holzman and Michael Chernow dreamed of opening their first restaurant when they were delivery boys working together on the Upper East Side. Years later, in 2010, the dream was realized when they were looking to share a more accessible culinary concept with their fellow New Yorkers on the Lower East Side. The Meatball Shop was an instant hit, quickly evolving into not only a restaurant destination but also a lifestyle brand, growing to five current locations and growing.
The Meatball Shop serves some of the best meatballs in the world with a mix and match menu utilizing sustainable and natural ingredients whenever possible. Each restaurant’s distinct vibe reflects the vibrancy of its specific neighborhood and offers a fun and supportive environment for its team, which was Michael and Daniel's original vision; create an environment where people would want to work. Many years, and many meatballs later, they're still going strong. Now they are bringing you their favorite meatballs and sauce, so you can enjoy a little taste of The Meatball Shop in your own home.
