"Few can resist the allure of The Little Owl, and Alton Brown and Michael Symon are among the fans who make a beeline for the restaurant at brunch time. Michael favors a meal that’s more on the savory side. He can’t get enough of the sliders, which feature saucy meatballs nestled in pizza-dough buns."

"Best Burgers in the U.S.: Chef Joey Campanaro gets his beef from famed Manhattan purveyor Pat LaFrieda and serves each burger on a house-baked bun, with just a hint of molasses. Pickles from legendary purveyor Guss’ Pickles are served on the side."

"From the slim glass-enclosed kitchen come generous shareable portions of Italian classics—everything but pizza and pasta—elevated by just the right number of signature twists: What is essentially a meatball hoagie has been transformed into a slider starter featuring three delicious pecorino-spiked orbs of meat on miniature brioche buns."

"Campanaro's signature dish, brought over from The Little Owl, is the meatball slider, which isn't a slider but a medium-sized meatball on a semi-soft, meatball-sized roll. Obvious. Tasty."

"The meatball sliders at The Little Owl are All, the embodiment of everything great about the restaurant in three golf balls on buns and to skip them is to may as well have not gone at all."

"Most people probably haven't heard of The Little Owl, a neighborhood institution in New York City's West Village, but all that really matters is that these sliders are a must-order item on their menu."

"This darling neighborhood restaurant is perfect for date night. Signature meatball sliders are a must."

"This tiny Greenwich Village restaurant (30 seats!) is packed every night with diners noshing on the signature meatball slider appetizer. More than just cute sandwiches, Little Owl’s sliders pack a tomato-y blend of beef, veal, and pork onto a crusty garlic roll."
on Slider
"Campanaro starts with a three-quarters-inch-thick patty of ground Pat LaFrieda brisket and short rib; seasons it liberally with a curry powder-kicked spice blend; grills it; tops it with American cheese, bacon, lettuce, onions, pickles, and tomato; and serves it on a homemade bun. It’s rich, meaty, and hits all the right notes."
on Cheeseburger
"There’s not much to say about the Little Owl’s bacon cheeseburger, except that it is perfect in every way. It’s not too big, and it’s not too round, and it’s not oversalted or seasoned (although a whiff of curry and Old Bay add a piquant X factor)."
