    I'm a huge fan and happened upon the ones at Giacomo's. This has easily become my favorite Italian restaurant in Houston now that Patrenella's closed down. I go here at least once a month and their meatballs are always the standout. And, in my opinion, 90% of there menu is great.

    It is called "polpetti puccini" and the menu reads "11 slightly spicy fennel-seasoned meatballs of grass fed texas longhorn beef & pastured pork, fennel confit & tomato cream sauce."

    Any other recommendations? I've been wanting to try Brooklyn Meatballs in the tunnels but I'm never in DT for lunch.[​IMG]

    Then how are we to know if those meatballs are actually good?

    Your posts are saltier than Giacomo's meatballs.

    Can't say anything about Houston meatballs (but I do know how to make 'em), but I'll tell you that if you're thinking that "Texas Longhorn beef" is ever a selling point, you're a sucker.

    Lol. Just posted what they had on the menu. The fennel and creamy tomato sauce are what keep me going back.

    So what you're saying is: you know the best saucy balls in town?

    The sauce is always the key, unless you totally neglect and dry out your balls.

    Definitely worth a try. You're more than welcome to share your recipe, though.

    I dated a Persian earlier this year. She said horsemeat is considered a high-end meat over there.
