If the name of this quick-service meatball shop sounds familiar, it should — yes, it’s those Marabellas, of the eponymous restaurants. There are multiple meatball options here: tasty pork, beef, chicken and even veggie varieties, which are the building blocks, along with various sauces, toppings and cheeses, for create-your-own sandwich combinations. There’s also a list of “Nonni’s” ready-made creations, such as pork meatballs with olive tapenade and piave vecchio cheese. For the indecisive, the “Morso” trio of sliders is a convenient way to sample a variety.
