Life is like a bowl of spaghetti because every once in a while you get a meatball.
Today is your lucky day, too, because Bellissimo Ristorante Italiano, which is located right inside Casino Del Sol, is giving out a special deal for National Meatball Day on Tuesday, February 9.
For those with a craving for an authentic Italian dish can stop by the casino, stroll on over to Bellissimo, and then purchase an entree because you’ll receive a complimentary Meatball Starter.
That’s amore.
Their meatballs are made with freshly ground blends of chuck roast and beef brisket, which is then slow-cooked in a house-made tomato sauce. Once it’s all said and done, they’re finished with parmesan cheese and local extra virgin olive oil.

Additional menu options include classics such as Chicken Parmesan, Gnocchi, Chicken Marsala, and two varieties of Baked Lasagna. The menu also features shared plates and starters, bruschetta, salads, soups, sandwiches, and house-made desserts.
The complimentary Meatball Starter is only available on Tuesday, February 9, and can’t be redeemed in addition to any other discounts or promotions.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
