The Meatball Cafe #madefromscratch

Good for upscale dining experience

This place is a must visit for anyone coming to this area! Wow, so good and great atmosphere. Inside is fairly nice, upscale a bit but outside has a whole other island kind of vibe so you can choose your experience. They make their own pasta and sauces and the best meatballs we’ve ever had! We ordered the side meatballs, pear and goat cheese salad and lobster ravioli. That lobster ravioli was outstanding. Also have great deals on wine and beer, their house Cabernet is delish! With the main meal you also get soup or salad. And they serve delicious fresh bread with oil vinegar dip while you wait. Outstanding! Absolutely recommend and check out inside and out before choosing where to sit, each has a different vibe. Vegetarian options: We had the pear and goat cheese salad which was really good.

Wonderful place to eat when visiting S Padre Island. Juan did an amazing job. Top notch service and food.

Everything here was amazing! The food was delicious and our server was great. Everything came out quick and was warm and fresh. Must try if you love Italian food!

What an absolutely phenomenal restaurant to eat at. The ambiance on the patio is adorable, the service was excellent, and the food... WOW. The food here is so dang good I'll be dreaming about it and shedding tears in my sleep that I won't be able to eat it regularly because I live over a thousand miles away HIGHLY RECOMMEND! A must try for the South Padre island area

Fantastic attention to detail in every way. Homemade pasta and bread were on point, sauces and fillings sublime. From point of contact with greet staff, recommendations asked for and given-all GOOD. Alejandro- our server, was especially warm, and fun. Staff we hadn’t met by name-brought out our food as it was cooked, and perfect. All in all, the place took care of us. Both the business part of making sure we never wanted for anything, and the people part, making us feel welcome and valued. Great first experience! I feel a little sad we didn’t find it sooner!

A feel of Italy. Enjoyed a nice Pecan Gelato after some spaghetti and meatballs. Very delicious

It's really cute decor in this Italian restaurant. Our server Joe was excellent. The food was delicious and big portions.

This is a 10 star for me and my family. We eat here twice in 4 day's. Everything was FABULOUS!! Parking: Not much parking so be creative. Well worth it.
