House of Meatballs

A hidden jam of Westwood Village. Meatball pasta selection is super comforting. You get to select the type of meatball, pasta, sauce and extra topping. Spaghetti is my favorite, and arrabbiata sauce is pleasantly spicy. The staffs are super friendly, especially to kids. They do have kids menu as well. Highly recommend the place.

The place was cozy, clean and well-kept. The customer service was outstanging. As first-time customers, we were thoughtfully guided to ensure we experienced their specialties to the fullest. As a result, the amount of food that we ordered was just perfect for us and we enjoyed the ideal combination of sauces and pastas they offer. Everything was very good.

As a 1st timer in Los Angeles Westwood neighborhood, this place was for certain a great spot. Obviously don’t miss ordering their signature dish, Meatballs! With Creamy Tomato sauce, it was so good 😊

The House of Meatballs is a long-standing Italian restaurant nestled in Westwood. Right next to UCLA, it's a destination and stop for college students and those who work in the medical field that are employed close by. The area is intimate. Not too large. The right size for a nice get-together or cozy date. Even a business meeting if you si desire. The pastas run a specific style. Choose your meatball, your sauce, and the style of noodles. It's as simple as that. The eggplant meatball is really delicious, too. The location sits right next to the whole foods market, so it's not too hard to miss. Great for lunches or to eat when you have to go to the doctor and you have to stay for a while.

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.

staff was fantastic, great wine bar 🍷. Happy hour is solid. We had the meat ball sliders, one pork, one beef, one eggplant. and of course, a Peroni.

Delicious food. Came here for my birthday in LA ate outside in the nice seating area right out front. They were very attentive, food came quickly, fair priced, delicious and customer service was amazing! They even brought me out some cannolis to go for my birthday. I would definitely recommend them if you are in LA and want something good to eat

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.
