I'm not sure that the ingredients list is correct. I'm very, very sensitive to fennel and anise. These taste like a black licorice meatball. I would give 0 stars. It's really disappointing because I love the sauces.

This Rao's Brand pre-made meal is one that I usually prefer. too many of the others on the market. The ingredients work together to really give a home style meal and the preparation itself is easy for someone with a very small kitchen. the texture of the meat itself is amazing as it had been previously frozen keeping the integrity of the food.

I don’t usually buy meatballs out. I rather make them myself being I’m Italian. But once I read the ingredients I had to try them. Surprisingly they were good on Italian bread as a sandwich. I would recommend these meatballs

Super disappointed to see that the new box of meatballs has SOYBEAN OIL. People wanted high quality ingredients, which is what made this brand successful. Go back to the ingredients that made this product successful. Also, your ingredient list on this website does not reflect what you now have on your packaging.

I had hoped that because it was Rao’s the meatballs would be excellent. They were not. The taste was like a typical frozen meatball. Disappointing.

I thought the meatballs tasted good. Unfortunately, I was upset that it calls to have it cooked with the plastic film and in the plastic container . We would be consuming microplastic when prepared this way. Please have customers cook in a glass vessel please .
Great taste!

We love this meatball dish. We add mozzarella after cooking process and it is even more delicious. Eat it on pasta, by itself or make it into a meatball sub
Disappointing portion size.

Archimedes - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
Flavor was good, but serving size was 4 with six meatballs which was disappointing at 1.5 meatballs per person. The box does not lie, you see six, you get six so do not plan to have enough for a family of four.

As a proud Italian who has spent years perfecting my family’s meatball recipe passed down from my mother and grandmother, I never imagined I’d find a store-bought meatball that could rival our homemade ones. However, Rao’s meatballs have truly impressed me with their authentic taste and quality. Can you please tell me how to buy these in BULK??????
Yum

Incredible. I microwaved them and they turned out great. I bet if they’re baked in the oven they would have been even better.

These used to be some of the best meatballs, frozen or otherwise. I used to buy them once a week, but something has changed. They used to be so tender you could easily cut them with a fork. Now they're like little tennis balls. The flavor is also way different now. They taste like sausage and are way over-seasoned. You might get lucky enough to still find the old version. Check the "best by" date. Anything in June 2025 or before is good, after that they're awful. Just tested one last night(BB:10/2026) and had to throw them away after the first bite. A real shame.

Too expensive for what you get. There is six meatballs with some sauce. It claims to be 4.5 servings. The sauce is ok. The meatballs are dense and don’t have little flavor.
