The Meatball and Wine Bar

If you ever need to make someone you care about feel special, take them to the Meatball and Wine Bar. Order a round of sliders, share a few plates of meatballs, let them choose the dessert, and raise a glass or two of wine.

What’s in these balls? I think the main ingredients are happiness, a dash of love, a spoonful of humour, and a good measure of passion for food.

Meatballs have always been comfort food for me. Here, they come dressed up a little — in a place that’s both cosy and stylish, with just a hint of New York edge and a touch of Melbourne class.

It’s not just dinner, it’s a reminder: good food shared with good company is always the recipe for feeling special.
