CAPITAL REGION – One year and counting one year since we settled into living life almost exclusively within the boundaries of our homes. For those used to eating out, the dining-at-home lifestyle came as a surprise for some a shock.
While tales of sourdough starters and one-pot meals took social media by storm, it was everyday cooking that felt the most taxing a need to differentiate Monday from Wednesday, and Friday from Sunday.
Roughly three months in, I embraced meal prep and food delivery services for the first time, purchasing subscriptions to HelloFresh and Freshly. The former allowed me to try new recipes to create a well-balanced meal, without requiring me to leave the house to head to the store.
Best Albany-area spot for ‘real’ meatballs and sauce for takeout?

Update: In a comment (N0. 52), the reader who asked the question says they chose two Guilderland restaurants:
Café Calabria: To start with the positive, the fruiti de mare was about the best I have ever had! Amazing amount of fish and sauce. The meatballs (per my wife) were “bready”, as per warnings you have given. We will be back, but perhaps go deeper in the menu.
Marisa’s Place: Larger order, less expensive than above. These were the favorite…….meatier, and again great sauce, especially from a “pizza place.”
