@wagirl I ordered them a few times.  I thought they were good.  All a matter of taste I guess.

I ordered the beef variety and though they were okay.  I'm not a big fan of Italian food but I LOVE quick and easy and they were that.

@wagirl  That's interesting.  I've never tried their turkey meatballs.

 

Nothing will ever beat a homemade meatball, or from a good restaurant.  Out of all the premade meatballs I've tried over the years though, I like Mancini's beef the best.  I actually picked up three packages yesterday when I went food shopping.  I like to keep some in the freezer to have on hand for a quick dinner after working all day.  Great as a meatball sub or with pasta.  A lot cheaper locally though than through QVC.  A one pound container is $6.99 at my local grocery store.

I like them. Personally I like the beef.

My husband says these are very good and he grew up with an Italian mother and grandmother.

 

As stated it is all personal taste.

The cheese stuffed ones are the best!

I get them at my local Giant and they are usually $9.99 for that same amount!

Anytime I order or make a dish and substitute turkey rather than original ingredients I know to lower my expectations. Why? Because it's turkey!

 

There's no getting around it. Be it meatballs, or meatloaf, or sausage, or burgers, or gag...bacon it's still turkey, and to me will never taste as good.

i like their meatballs, including the turkey.

i find them to be quite good for ready to heat and eat products.
