two meatballs in the kitchen

well, the wine was good.... dining at two meatballs wasn't an entirely bad experience, after all they do pour a good glass of wine. my girlfriend and i did some searching for a place to enjoy italianfoodin fort myers, and decided on two meatballs. good reviews, decent menu, wine, can't be bad, right? upon walking in we found the ambiance of a train station and the service of the panhandlers that occupy it. pitiful. since when do independent restaurants try to emulate the look and feel of chains? it's the sort of place someone traveling alone on business would eat due to the proximity to the hotel. i ordered the steak marsala, medium rare. what they served me was an over cooked piece of bad sirloin, a few mushrooms that may or may not have sat in marsala sauce at one point during their life, no sauce to speak of, under cooked potatos, and sauteed vegetables that were stone cold. not warm, or spotty on how hot they all were, but flat out cold. around nine thirty, they began shutting the place down, although the website and the door said they close at eleven. after realizing we were being turfed out (the lights were turned on full strength and the chairs placed up on the tables), we paid the check, and asked the chef what time they usually shut their doors. he gave a smug reply of "nine maybe nine thirty" as he stood in front of the eleven o'clock closing sign. clearly our faults. won't go back.

thefoodwas outstanding. went there for lunch. price was right and every part of the meal was amazing. recommend this restaurant to everyone

everything was as expected until we were sat at our table. normal wait time and we were comfortable while we waited on our table. then it was like they forgot we were there. we ordered drinks and then had to wait at least 20 minutes to have our server come back so we could order our food. meanwhile, as i'm looking around for our server i see a young man walking around the restraint like he was lost, he would gaze around the room and look important, i try to flag him over since i figured he must have worked there and all he ended up doing was giving me a blank stare. so after waiting for our server to comeback with ourfood(which was overcooked) and then asking for our check (which also took an additional 20 min, we left and asked to speak to a manager and were greeted by the young man who appeared lost. he showed very little concern and was also very dry. i would not recommend this restaurant to my worst enemy. it wasn't a horrible place it was just annoying and seemed more pike a chore than a relaxing evening with my date.

superb italian restaurant. fabulous wait staff who were busy busy busy but never felt like we wanted for anything.foodit huge! definitely share a plate of you are there for dinner. best italian we’ve ever had and a must to go eat.

two meatballs in the kitchen, salrose ln.,ft. myers,fl., here is my 2 cents on thefoodand chit chat.
the food.i order 2 items. one to dine in, meatball & spaghetti and a italian sub with soup to go.
i got the classic meatballs/spaghetti. it was the way my mother made spaghetti. the sauce was soaked into the pasta . that was delish..... i must say i was disappointed. i was expecting 2,two, meatballs in my pasta instead just 1 big one, almost the size of a grapefruit. it tasted fine and i needed to take half of it home. alas the name is two meatballs in the kitchen.
the sub and soup. 8 bucks...the soup was a italian kind. i thought it was a bit bland. it was thick, round pasta, tomato and other veggies. ....the sub was sub par too. too small, less than 4 inches , diced tomatos, not a lot of meat and the bread was wimpy. it was not a good italian bun.
service  was great.
food overall was good. but i waited 5 years to be blown away. i was just puffed like a 5 yo at a birthday party.

always enjoy eating here, greatfoodand friendly staff! have taken out of town guests here multiple times, they have all enjoyed it! mike a.

(if i could give 0 stars for this review, i would.) i am beyond disappointed in my experience at my neighborhood restaurant this evening. after being quoted a 15 minute wait time for a simple takeout order i still gave it 25 minutes until i picked it up knowing that sometimes these wait times are underestimated. to my surprise and dismay, not only was myfoodnot ready, it took an additional 35 minutes of me waiting in my car after the restaurant quoted the ready time to go back in and see that it was "ready". except it wasn't. an entire meal was missed by two meatballs pushing our wait time out another 20 minutes. a 1 hour 15 minute takeout wait time for 4 meals? obnoxious. a 1 hour 15 minute takeout wait time for 4 meals and the owner not being accommodating and at the same time being condescending and rude? unacceptable. as a veteran of the service industry i understand that things happen. a lot. but to offer a $25 gift card on an $80 takeout order after the owner was overly aggressive and obscene toward a weekly patron? unreal. quite frankly, it was unbelievable; not only to myself, but also to other customers who overheard the exchange. we will be gifting our $25 credit and taking our business to other more delicious and deserving local restaurants. good riddance.

avoid at all costs. staff will purposefully tamper with yourfoodfor fun if you step away from your table.foodis always overcooked even if you beg for it to be cooked properly!

my new favorite italian restaurant,foodwas outstanding and our server was awesome ! make sure you try the white wine sangria- it is out of this world !!
will be back for sure :)

terrible service. my boyfriend loves this place, he brought my daughter and i here for dinner one night and earned us that the service was terrible but thefoodis always worth it. so going into the restaurant i expected bad service, but i was not prepared to eat under cooked fish. i ordered the tilapia mia bella, the presentation was sloppy, the fish was raw, and the waitress couldn't have cared less. she did not check on us once, avoided my repeated attempts to get her attention, and when she brought the bill she promptly fled before i could say anything to her. our bill was over $100. i called the restaurant the next day hoping the owner would care to know about the complaint for future improvement, but he was just as rude as the waitress. i would not recommend this place to anyone.

very good service, good variety on the menu.foodwas good and very good portion. worth the experience

repeat diner 4 or 5 times.foodand service always great. drinks too. appetizers, seafood, pasta very good. busy place but good staff keeps things humming. can't understand how anyone had badfoodor service.

2 meatballs = 1 great night out. we haven't been back to two meatballs since they moved to this location but i can promise you that we will be back soon. the four of us all had different dishes and all were very happy with their meals. the service was great and we all had enough in portion size that we left full and still tookfoodhome, not that we use that as a measure of weather thefoodis good.
we will be going back and it will be soon.

food was awesome, atmosphere was great. the hostesses and waitresses seemed like apathetic twits but thefoodwas amazing.

greatfoodand great service!. 4 of us had a business lunch there about a week ago. we had all had thefoodbefore and always liked it, but 3 of us had never eaten there, just had carry out. we like the atmosphere, thefoodwas great, as always! dee was our server and she took such good care of us.

the times we have done carry out was to serve groups of 15-20. thefoodis consistently delicious. paul and sal always offer great menu suggestions. we look forward to the next time we can dine in or carry out. great job!
