Customers praised these meatballs as "INCREDIBLE" with "lots of parmesan flavor" and described them as soft, juicy, and generously sized. Many said they taste homemade and rival Italian restaurants. Easy to prepare in a slow cooker. However, one customer found the sauce too bitter. Overall highly rated for flavor and convenience.

This was our favorite so far!

I have been so excited to give these a try and I haven't been disappointed at all. They are easy to prepare and absolutely taste homemade. Great flavor and not too salty, which we love. I will definitely recommend these to friends.

Delish!

Easy to make, just put in the slow cooker on low and in hours you have a delicious hot homemade meal. I cooked the penne noodles, drained them, added some olive oil, butter, salt/pepper, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese. Spooned the meatballs and sauce over the noodles and it was out of this world. Even better the next day when all the flavors blend together. so far, my favorite meal!

Review of ordering & shipping

So far I'm impressed. I live with my 94 yr old Mom so I am trying to stay as far away from shopping/people as possible. I have been trying to get home grocery delivery for six days bit there are no available time slots.
I stumbled on this website Wednesday night. So many tasty looking meals it was hard to decide. Very easy to order. Food arrived Friday at 2 pm.
Will slow cook 1st meal tomorrow.

Delicious!

Ordered the small one and it was enough for 2. The sauce and meatballs were as good as if not better than any Italian restaurant! Did not add pasta, just the garlic cheesy bread and a salad and was perfect!

Perfect sunday dinner

We had this for sunday dinner and it was superb. The meatballs are juicy and generously sized. We served it with the penne it came with and a side of veggies. No complaints that night! 2 portions feeds my family of 5- 2 adults 3 kids (one is a toddler).

Amazing!!

This was the first meal we tried and it was delicious!! The meatballs were perfect and the gravy is mouthwatering. We bought 4 portions so we would have leftovers for lunches and we got 6 portions out of it, the meal is so hearty and filling. I placed another order after trying this. :)

The sausage meatballs are my favorite. I’m very picky eater and wasn’t sure about them but they are very good. And pairing it with the cheesy garlic bread just makes the whole meal perfect.
