Almost every
culture has some kind of meatball. In
the United States meatballs are usually associated with Marinara and some kind
of pasta. At the Terrace we recently
decided to introduce the residents to other cultures take on the meatball.

our surprise almost everyone enjoyed themselves and we have incorporated a
couple of the most popular items into our cycle menu.
