Tell us about The Meatball & Wine Bar. The Meatball & Wine Bar prides itself on serving amazing meatballs prepared using the very finest ingredients, paired with awesome Italian wines. Opening in 2012, MBWB now has four amazing sites across Melbourne.
What are your stand out dishes and hidden secrets on the menu? Try any of the weekly specials. The specials are where the kitchen team experiment with different meats and cooking methods to create something unique. We also feature weekly slider specials incorporating slow cooked meats like brisket and pulled pork. A hidden gem to try is our Wagyu Bresaola made from pure bred Wagyu – it’s melt in your mouth delicious.
Where do you source your meat from? All our meat comes from our very own butcher shop located at 320 Bridge Road in Richmond called Mr Macellaio’s Meat Shop, where locally sourced, preservative-free and natural is the ethos of the butcher. All our proteins are carefully selected to ensure we’re providing the absolute highest quality mince, perfect for making delicate, flavoursome and juicy meatballs.
What music can we expect while we enjoy your meatballs? Sometimes criticised for having our music up way too loud, the folk at MBWB love their music – mixing up playlists between R&B and hip hop.
A good meatball to should…be jammed full of flavour, beautifully textured, succulent and juicy and perfect to be enjoyed with a big glass of Italian red.
