Reviews for The Meatball Cafe in South Padre Island, TX
This is an absolute amazing experience. Authentic Italian right next to the beach. The service is excellent The atmosphere is... excellent It?s a wonderful place to bring family and be able to enjoy great food and a noise level where the entire table canhear. The food is beyond good. I had both the pizza and Tuscano soup. My mind is blown away with both. The pizza crust was thinand crisp. The ingredients were fresh. The soup is not an Olive Garden meal so be ready for excellence. The prices are fairand probably low being that you are on an island. Way above expectations Pictures do no justice Read more
I really love the way they designed and built this outdoor patio area. The wood ceiling; the lattice fencing; the plants; the... table settings; and of course the cool table-tops featuring classic movies. The food was good - I had the eggplant parmesan, andit was a generous portion with a nice side of spaghetti; the seared scallops are also very good. I also love how they bring outthe fresh bread with olive oil to hold you over until your food comes. The waiter was excellent; and it?s just an all aroundnice, friendly place. Read more
Liz was my waitress and did an extremely good job very attentive and friendly she needs a raise . I tasted all the food as... like to be able to give reviews on the items I post pictures of.

This place is amazing. We have been coming here for the past 6 years and every year it gets better and better. The owner is very... nice and wants to accommodate everyone as quickly as possible. This place gets busy. Make sure you get there early. The parkingsituation is a pain, but the food is very much worth it. Read more
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at The Meatball Cafe. The atmosphere is dark and classy, very unique for the island. Lighting and... decorations are all pleasant. Our waiter was excellent, very friendly and attentive. The complimentary bread was incredible, aswas the olive oil/vinegar dip served with it. I ordered the calzone with pepperoni, mushrooms, and basil. It was great! Overallwould certainly recommend! Read more
We stopped in for lunch on a Monday afternoon because the cafe we planned to visit was unexpectedly closed, and we couldn't be... happier about it! The restaurant is small but comfortable, with a mix of booths and tables, and our server was very attentiveand knowledgeable. They offer a lunch menu M-F, and the portions are very generous! A loaf of crispy yet fluffy house madeciabatta bread was brought for us to enjoy while we waited for our order, served with a whipped garlic butter. The lunch orderof Italian nachos was enough to feed 2 people easily! The Tuscano soup is some of the best soup I have ever had, and the pizzaand calzone looked and tasted like they were fresh from a brick oven. My VERY picky son, who considers himself a pizza gourmet,said it was one of the best pizzas he has ever had! We plan to visit again soon to try out their dinner menu. Read more
