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.

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.

Mom's Italian Meatball Sandwich. Seasoned beef meatballs topped with homemade marinara, with cheese. $10 + $1 = $11 before tax.

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.

Buffalo Chicken Balls sandwich

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!

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.

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.

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!
