Going to miss Meta over the winter, but we will be back at the first sign of Spring. Dinner last night was incredible. A party of six and Mario took great care of us. Our dinners were amazing and all six of us left happy and full. I can't say enough about this neighborhood gem.

Meta was wonderful, however, open table wasn’t. When we got to the restaurant they didn’t have our reservation. They were gracious enough to give us a table anyway

Trust me, try Meta and you will become a regular. The food, the service and the recognition of their customers is off the scale. Michele will greet you at the door and Mario will take care of the rest. Looking forward to having my leftovers tonight! See you soon.

We cannot recommend this restaurant more!!! We’ve been coming here FOREVER and have never ever had a bad meal! If you’re going to be a first time diner start with a pot of mussels or the calamari….then the veal chop😘 Crème brûlée and cappuccino, end scene❤️

Another outstanding dinner at Meta. It couldn't have been any better. From the time we walked in and got our friendly greeting from Michele to the time we left, everything was perfect. Meta is my favorite! Try the chicken parmigiana.
