Louth's Roberto's Diner will mark National Meatball next Monday with their special edition Meatball Spaghetti Bolognese

To celebrate National Meatball Day on Monday, March 9th, Roberto’s Diner will kick off the festivities with a dedicated Customer Appreciation Day, offering its entire menu at half price, including the special edition Meatball Spaghetti Bolognese, from 4pm to 11pm for takeaway, collection and delivery only. The initiative is a thank you to the loyal customers who have supported the family-run business for more than 15 years.

For one week only, the diner will also serve meatballs with its much-loved Spaghetti Bolognese, replacing the traditional mince and giving the classic dish a celebratory twist in honour of the occasion.

For co-owners Brian and Hemraj, the occasion is about more than just marking a food calendar date. It is an opportunity to celebrate a much-loved Italian classic, inspired by the family influences that continue to shape their menu, while also reflecting on the growth of a business that has become a fixture in the local community.

“National Meatball Day gave us the perfect opportunity to put the focus on our customers,” says Brian Corcoran, Co-Owner, Roberto’s Diner & Takeaway. “We wouldn’t be here without their support over the years. Customer Appreciation Day is our way of saying thank you and showing how much we value the people who’ve kept us going.”

Roberto’s has been serving the community for over 15 years and now employs 23 staff locally. Brian and his partner Hemraj have run the diner together for the past 13 years, having taken over the business from Brian’s sister Carmel and her husband Roberto. With strong Italian family influences and years of experience in the takeaway trade, their approach continues to shape both the menu and the atmosphere of the business today.

“There’s a lot of history behind what we do,” adds Hemraj Wooden, Co-Owner, Roberto’s Diner & Takeaway. “The Italian influence is still very much there in the food, but just as important is the sense of community. Many of our customers have grown up coming here, and that’s something we’re really proud of.”
