The Meatball Stoppe

The Meatball Stoppe was founded in 2014 by Owner Operator Jeff Morgia and Owner Chef Isabella Morgia di Vicari.   The concept was formulated around "Unique Meatballs" which we know everyone loves!   We are an "authentic" Italian restaurant offering 13 styles of Meatballs, Artisanal Pasta, seafood, as well as Gluten-Free, Vegan, Vegetarian and Halal options.  We have an in-house Artisanal Bakery to include cheesecakes and layer cakes.  

The Meatball Stoppe was featured on Food Network’s Diners Drive-ins and Dives with Guy Fieri in 2017 and in 2021 we were chosen in America’s top 20 Favorite DDD Restaurants and most recently the 4th most popular  by the global publication THE DAILY MEAL. Check out our website: https://themeatballstoppe.com

OUR MISSION

The Meatball Stoppe offers our community unique and delicious Italian Food, at a reasonable price in a Fast Casual environment.  We accomplish this while creating opportunities for individuals that may otherwise not have them.  Reinforcing famiglia traditions every step of the way by inviting guests from all walks of life to come to our table and enjoy a meal with us.  It is of utmost importance to share our philosophy and our Italian heritage through our love for life, people, and food.   Every single dish is based on a recipe from generations of our famiglia, starting with our Nonna's Traditional Meatball as well as the 12 other styles, each having it own unique story.

The Meatball Stoppe was Central Florida's FIRST Dementia Friendly restaurant.  We provided a safe, no judgement comfortable environment for patients with Alzhiemers/Dementia, their caregivers and even family members.  We were specially trained by the organizations leadership in order to serve those in need in a safe environment.
