I was genuinely surprised at how authentic and delicious the food was. Elbow Macaroni in a chicken parm is odd, but overall some great food!

You can not go wrong with Barones!!! Every item on the menu is well prepared and delicious. We travel to many destinations just to get some great meatballs. If you like traditional Buffalo chicken wings with real blue cheese you have to get the Buffalo meatballs. Great flavor and texture and the blue cheese is perfection!! Jim and Barbie H. read more

Barone Meatball Company was at Dorthea Dix Park during the adult recess event. The staff is pleasant and professional. The food truck was clean, and the ordering process was organized - one line for orders and the other line for pick up. They seemed fully staffed to provide good service to all customers. I ordered the smoked gouda zucchini meatballs over pasta. My order was fresh. The meatballs and pasta were just as flavorful as they were satisfying. I would suggest less breading and more zucchini in the meatballs. Overall, I enjoyed the food. read more

I had the pleasure of partnering with Barone Italian Grille at one of the properties I oversee in Charlotte. The team was absolutely amazing, and the residents loved the food! Huge thank you to the entire Barone team -- I can't wait to work with y'all again! read more

Really good meatballs from this food truck. Got to try while they were at the Greensboro Food Truck festival....so it's nice that they do travel outside of the Triangle. What I appreciate the most was the "mix" option where you get 4 meatballs of your choosing for $12 - which to me, is fair from a food truck. Good sized balls, not too big (to where you'd think it wouldn't be flavorful inside), not to small....who wants small meatballs? The classic moms Italians meatballs were my favorite, juicy, saucy balls. The bacon cheeseburger was a surprise and was great. Buffalo flavor just ok. read more

The Barone Meatball Company food truck stopped by my wife's workplace in Chapel Hill and she picked up lunch for us. I had the Mom's Italian Meatballs sandwich (hoagie) with Provolone ($10 + $1 for the cheese = $11 total before tax and tip). It was delicious and filling. A solid four-to-five stars. Really good. If you like meatball subs, you won't be disappointed. It was one of the best meatball sandwiches I've tried. Barone serves different types of meatballs, from Bacon Cheeseburger (beef) to Chicken Parmesan. They even make a Reuben meatball out of corned beef. The Mom's Italian Meatballs were seasoned beef meatballs that came with a homemade marinara. The meatballs were served piping hot and were nice and big. Jumbo size. They had ideal meatball texture to me, not too hard and not too soft, and they were packed full of wonderful, savory flavor. Very satisfying. There were three meatballs in my 8-inch hoagie and I believe the meatballs were grilled, though I'm not certain. Barone sells meatballs you can take home and bake yourself too. Aside from meatball hoagies, you can also get your meatballs served over penne pasta or inside a grilled cheese sandwich. All are the same price, priced by the meatball type. If you see Barone, they're definitely a food truck worth ordering from.

Our neighborhood was lucky enough to have this truck come by a week ago. And we were smart enough to try them out. I got their Italian meatballs with marinara over penne pasta, while Husband wanted the Buffalo Balls sandwich with Pasta Chips and Marinara. Ordered at the truck and they are doing no touch for adding a tip when you pay. Didn't take long for our orders. Took them home and both of us were happy with our choices. My pasta came with three big balls and a reasonable amount of penne with a tasty marinara. The balls were very good (and I'm Italian). The true test is to save one for a cold meatball sandwich on white bread with mayo the next day and this ball passed the test with flying colors. (did add some crushed red pepper). Husband was busy and didn't even open his buffalo balls sandwich for awhile, but his reaction was "this is really good", and he polished it off fast along with the tasty fried pasta chips. Definitely recommend! read more

Barone Italian Grille was the food truck at our company Fall Festival. We went with a "limited" menu to make it a bit easier and it was amazing!!! Everything on their menu is terrific and served with a smile! They are fabulous to work with, responded quickly and so professional. We will definitely be using Barone's Italian Grille again!! read more

Didn't know what to expect but OMG everything was fantastic!!! The Mama meatballs, chicken parm meatballs along with the zucchini meatballs the first two were with pasta. Between the meatballs and sauce were seasoned to perfection!!!! read more

The food truck was in town at Poplar Grove at an event. There were many food trucks at the event but this one looked super interesting. We decided to try Mom's Italian Meatballs over penne pasta with marinara. Unfortunately they did not have garlic bread as a side, but had Pasta Chips with marinara. The food arrived fast and hot. There was plenty of pasta with marinara sauce and there very large meatballs. The meatballs were tasty, not a lot of fillers, and well seasoned. The pasta chips were very good. The chips are lasagna noodles, deep fried and well seasoned, served with marinara in a container. Their food truck menu changes frequently, but definitely worth a stop. read more

Reliable, fast service and delicious! Ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger balls and Zucchini Smoked Gouda Balls. Tender and delicious! The hoagie rolls and produce items were fresh. The zucchini balls were amazingly good - grand slam home run. read more

Four stars just because it seems to take a really long time for the food to cook; however, the quality is very good! I ordered the traditional meatballs and they were delicious. They offered vegetarian options, as well, which I thought was great. Since I ordered food when this truck was at the Italian festival, I liked that they offered just the meatballs as ala carte as an option so that we had the opportunity to try small portions at different places. This is also a great option if you couldn't make your mind up on the multiple delicious-sounding meatballs on the menu and wanted to try more than one kind. Also liked that you had the option to put them on a sub or a bed of penne. read more

Barone Italian Grille - Meatballs - Food Trucks Near Me

This place means well... I had a classic meatball and a muffaletta meatball. They were both cold. Not sure why- but meatballs should likely be hot. I am semi ok with the muffaletta one being at the best- room temp cause of the olive salad... but an italian meatball should be hot... do better barone... it tasted ok... but ive had better balls. if you specialize in something... then make it special. read more

Excellent meatballs and great service... will definitely be going back! Ordered online and everything was ready on time and still hot.

Thank you for making the best chicken Parmesan meatballs I've ever had! they were delicious! ordering was easy, the food was ready on time and the experience was excellent! everyone is friendly and we look forward to next time! read more

Food trucks are honestly my new favorite places to try and eat some foods. This was the featured food-truck at Deep River Brewery when we came down to visit our friends in NC. It serves exactly what the truck says...meatballs. And they are some damn kick ass meatballs too! I ordered the "Black-and-Bleu Balls" sandwich (more like a hoagie type): Beef meatballs mixed with bleu cheese coated in blackened seasoning served with remoulade. I don't know if it was honestly my luckiest day...but I had been craving for cannoli lately and guess what they had for freaking dessert?! - You damn right....CANNOLIS!!!! I didn't want to ruin my dinner, so I decided on only one (original) cannoli to share among my friend and I. I picked up the hoagie in a wrapped foil and the cannoli and a plastic container. The black and blue meatball hoagie was delicious. I split it with the hubby and we were impressed with the flavor it had in the bite. The remoulade sauce was a great flavor touch to it as well. The cannoli was a great finishing treat and def hit my craving sweet spot. I didn't see that they also had feature the "key lime" cannoli as well - I will make sure that I give this one a shot (if I get lucky again for this food truck). Overall, the cooks/staffs on the food truck were friendly and quick, my choice of meatball was kick ass, and the cannoli is a must try for those who love sweets (and cannolis in general). Great food truck! read more

Nothing is better than these delicious meatballs on a cold Fall evening. An eight inch sub gets you three steaming hot large meatballs smothered in a rich tomato sauce.

Hands down one of the best food trucks in the Triangle. Barone's takes the humble meatball and transforms it into a variety of tasty dishes without being fussy. They even have veggie options and are very inclusive! Also, for being a meatball truck, they have an amazing chopped salad with blue cheese that I love. read more

I didn't bring lunch to work - I would say I forgot but it was sort of a lack of time and attention to the food issue during the grind of the workweek. That's probably the worst thing - you are super hungry and buried under work and you can't spare a half hour to pick up lunch. Enter Barone Meatball Company! There was a line outside of the truck from surrounding companies in our office park. The staff was kind and helpful in making my final ordering decisions. They do have vegetarian options by the way. I got a meatball sub without sides or cheese on top - it was still tender and flavorful. The sub was filling and I was able to quickly restart my work. It was quick, easy convenient and tasty - words that typically describe a great food-experience. read more

A welcome change of pace during CoronaFest 2020, the truck was near my house tonight. I got Mom's Italian Meatball hoagie and a side of Chicken Parmesan (balls and topping only). Very good for a food truck although I kind of think of food trucks and this particular fare as more of a lunch thing. I wish they had the items on their website that I was jonesing for but I understand that trucks usually don't have a full menu every day. read more

Love this place. I'm all in on Mom's Italian on a hoagie with cheese. Had them cater my engagement party and everyone was extremely happy!

A big hit! We had a party for 45 people and Barone's catered. Every bit of food was eaten and the guests raved about the meatballs! Mom's Italian with Penne pasta and marinara sauce, gyro balls with tzaztiki sauce, Chicken Marsala meatballs and bacon cheeseburger balls with buns and the fixings. It was hard to decide which ones were the best as they all disappeared. Stephen was great to work with and the pricing for this catering event was very reasonable. I highly recommend using them for your next catered event. read more

Awesome meatball sub. Have eaten from here three times and good food is consistent. Would like to be able to order more meatballs on the sub next time. Vegetarian meatballs are also fantastic. read more

My biggest ask in whatever lunch I have is that it keeps me full until dinner. This hoagie did. It was a great sized portion of meatball, provolone cheese, and bread. My only wish was that most of the sauce stayed in the sandwich and not on the wrapper (see photo). But I can forgive the low amount of sauce because it was that tasty. Also the people in the truck are super friendly and accommodating. Always happy to give them my business when their truck makes a stop at my workplace. Will be back for lunch the next time they're here! read more

Truly delicious food and absolutely amazing customer service. I worked with Stephen, the owner of Barone Meatball Company, to get his food truck to visit my neighborhood. He provided awesome communication, an easy online ordering system for our residents, and was just an overall great guy to work with. On top of all that, the food was incredible. I can't recommend Barone Meatball enough! read more

With the Coronavirus, our neighborhood has been fortunate to enjoy the food from Barone Meatball Company. The menu had many great options, but we stuck with the meatballs. The meatballs were plentiful and filling. The buffalo chicken had just enough heat. We also enjoyed the ricotta and meatball marinara. The Staff was friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend Barone! read more

My favorite is getting the mom's italian meatballs as a grilled cheese! Their specials are also usually really good too, especially the Korean BBQ one. read more

Genius! I've never been a huge meatball sub fan because they can be so messy. But Barone has the right idea - the grilled cheese is the best solution! I tried their special, the pizza rustica balls, on a grilled cheese. It was like the white pizza version of a meatball sub, and it was downright delicious. My husband tried the Buffalo balls and loved them. We also tried the pasta chips, which were so good! Great texture, and that marinara sauce is top notch. We'll definitely be having Barone again next time they roll through our neighborhood! read more

Seriously yummy! Just had one off the truck and I could eat another, it was that good. Meatballs cooked perfect and solid taste. Sauce, I asked for just a little, was not acidic nor sweet. The hoagie bun was slightly toasted (nice touch). Looking forward to another! read more

Teehee, balls can be a double entendre. While the more refined and classy among us might scoff at such juvenile humor, I loved reading the menu items at Barone Meatball Company. I decided to order the Black and Bleu Balls (LOL) - beef meatballs mixed with bleu cheese coated in blackened seasoning served with remoulade. At $8, the price point isn't that bad. It's comparable to Oak City Meatball Shoppe, although Oak City features much bigger balls (LOL). If you know me, you know that I like hot sauce on everything and often complain about burger patties not having enough flavors. I have a slightly-to-significantly less sensitive palette than the general populace. So, it should be at least mildly notable that I found the balls to be far too salty. Yes, blackened tends to be saltier, but it's frankly not a good sign when even my palette struggles to handle it. The seasoning mix definitely could use some adjustments. I applaud Barone Meatball Company for taking chances that others may be less inclined to take. I also applaud their reasonable prices for being a food truck. While I didn't enjoy my meal, I am certainly willing to give Barone Meatball Company another chance if the opportunity arises again. read more

Our office had the Barone Meatball truck today and it's the first time I've ever tried it. It did not disappoint. I ordered the Crab Meatballs on a hoagie along with a side salad. The crab balls were great! Not too fishy and the remoulade sauce was good too. I loved the bread as well. That can be key to any good sandwich. The salad was a little underdressed for me ( I love dressing!) but it was full of walnuts, craisins and blue cheese so that more than made up for it. Others I talked to had the Mom's Meatballs and loved them. Everyone was happy with their food and we are all having cannoli's this afternoon!!! read more
