Barone Meatball Company

About

Barone Meatball Company now goes by Barone Italian Grille, a food truck working the Raleigh-Durham area with a menu of Italian street food. The rebrand came after ten years of selling meatballs, and it was done to make room for more than meatballs on the board.

The meatballs are still there, and they are still the reason most people stop. The truck has picked up a fair amount of national attention over the years, which is unusual for a business you have to chase around town.

What to know

  • The truck is the work of founder Stephen Dewey, a food service industry veteran.
  • He was sous chef at Bella Monica Italian Restaurant before starting the business.
  • It appeared on the Cooking Channel’s Food Truck Nation.
  • Southern Living named it among the South’s Best Food Trucks in June 2016.
  • The News and Observer chose it as the area’s best food truck in 2019.
