    This restaurant was so good everything about it was good the food was delicious I had the gnocchi it was so good my husband had the chicken franchise and it was as equally delicious. The waiters were nice and the atmosphere was great. I told the manager it was our anniversary and he brought out champagne on the house which was the icing on the cake I love this restaurant I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant and I will definitely be recommending this place to my friends and family.

    Excellent food - Excellent service. I loved the gnocchi and hubby really enjoyed his eggplant. We took our desserts to go. The tiramisu is the best I've had and the cannolis were delicious. Our wonderful server, Shelby was cheerful and on top of her game. So was the rest of the staff. We always enjoy an excellent meal at Ballo when visiting Mohegan.

    as always the food was excellent. I tried the veal cutlet parmigiana for the first time and it was absolutely delicious. Brian is so friendly and helpful. We celebrated our anniversary and I couldn't think of a better place to go. Brandon wasn't working that night but our waiter was very attentive and helpful. Would recommend this restaurant to everyone.

    My fine dining experience is limited, however, we had a great evening at Ballo Italian. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing despite being in casino. Low lighting does a great job at separating you from the rest of Mohegan Sun. The servers are the best part of this experience as they are extremely attentive and professional. The food was delicious and the drinks didn’t taste heavy-handed but one or two felt like enough. Would recommend to anyone.

    Seems like things have changed a ballo. Food portions are smaller. They charge for side plates . Quality the food is just not there anymore I gave it another chance last night and that will be my last one or visit at ballo. For the price is way over priced for the quality of food and portions.

    Our server was excellent as was the back up persons, they were quite attentive but not hovering. I was a server for over 35 years so I appreciate good service. The sauce on my rigatoni was to spicy for my liking but the sauce on my eggplant was not spicy at all, so when I return which I will, I hope I can get a different sauce on my pasta. I also appreciate my birthday cannoli, thank you.

    I’m Italian, so I normally am a little disappointed every time I go to an Italian restaurant. There are very few that measure up to home cooking. Ballo was EXCELLENT. I was so happy that I’ve found a new Italian restaurant that is so good. My husband had Chicken parm. It was fabulous. It was pounded thin, breaded and deep fried. I had a chicken, spinach, mushroom dish in a cream sauce with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. The service was impeccable and drinks were great. I HIGHLY recommend them. IT WAS SOOOO GOOD

    Dining at Ballo was an experience that left me with mixed feelings, to put it mildly. While the food salvaged what could have been a complete disaster, the abysmal service we endured throughout our meal was nothing short of infuriating. Foremost, our server seemed to operate in a different time zone altogether. It was as if they were practicing the art of slow-motion service with the precision of a sloth on sedatives. One of our party arrived before the other and ordered a drink, which they didn’t receive. Instead, the server stated they had forgotten what was ordered and asked what the patron wanted. Once our orders were finally placed, it was as if our server had erased our existence from their memory. We, like many others that night, were going to a show — the time well known to the restaurant staff — and had left adequate time to chat, drink, and dine (1.5 hours). The food arrived 15 minutes before we needed to be at the venue. But let's talk about the food. The food was delicious! It was a testament to the culinary talents of the kitchen staff that this restaurant managed to stay afloat despite the black hole of inefficiency that is the service. While the dishes were placed with the wrong patrons, that was of little consequence other than yet another thing forgotten. ALSO, we had to scarf the meal down quickly. In conclusion, if you're willing to endure snail-paced service and have the patience of a saint, Ballo might just be worth a visit for the food alone. But if you value your time and sanity, I'd suggest exploring other dining options in the casino. We missed 15 minutes of the opening act.

    Service is prompt an efficient. Restaurant decor is nice however, lighting in low so many diners were using their cell phone flashlights to read menu. Food is good, but overpriced which wasn't surprising as all of the restaurants in the casino are quite expensive. Experience was positive, but I would eat outside the casino in the future.

Food and cocktails were amazing/ service impeccable/ prices reasonable/ wow factor with ambiance & style reminiscent of an old world gothic cathedral

    Fabulous waitress. Excellent support staff. Bar service was very slow but a 2nd round of drinks was offered to be on the house due to the wait. The staff brought cannoli’s with a candle for our Birthday celebration on the house as well- a lovely touch! Really enjoyed the dining experience overall!

    Great dinner and service. Our drinks were prepared expertly. The prices were, I thought, very high for Italian food and portions were moderate. Many times we do not have enough room to have dessert after having appetizers and entrees but on this occasion we ordered a couple desserts and split them. Nevertheless, the appetizers were delicious and each of us really enjoyed our dinners. Desserts were ok. We would be happy to return when visiting the Mohegan Sun and in the mood for some good Italian food.

    We had the mussel appitizer and it was exellent. The waitress didn't discribe the pasta special correctly. I heard another water at another table discribe the special. When she returned I asked her to repaeat the special. I had to tell her there was chiken in It. My wife had it and it was good, I had the pork chop that extremely tender. The fried fingerling potatoes were soggy from the sauce that was on the pork chop. Would have been better if they were on a separate plate. I have eaten here several times. My favorite is the rigatoni with spicy sausage sauce.

    Our go to restaurant when visiting Mohegan Sun, however, was disappointed that there was no more fingerling potatoes included in our dish , had to pay $11.00 for a side dish of fingerling potatoes, which btw there were only about 2 or three included in our dish previously !! We wont be going back to dine at Ballos , and am thankful that there are many other options at Mohegan Sun !

    We have been coming to Ballo since you opened for special occasions during the year. This year I surprised my husband with a day at Mohegan and dinner for his 65th birthday at Ballo. He was very excited about going to dinner. He ordered his favorite, chicken parm. All I can say is it was the worse chicken parm he had ever had. The pasta was over cooked and the sauce tasted like it just came out of a can. The chicken parm itself was soggy and lacked flavor. I ordered the shrimp scampi and it was also not good at all. Shrimp were fresh and tasty but the sauce and I mean a heavy sauce was not a light scampi sauce and the over cooked pasta was uneatable. The manager and bar tender did ask if we wanted a different meal but after tasting the meals we were served, we didn't even want to chance it. Another thing that put us off, with the prices you are charging for a side of pasta that should be part of the chicken parm meal is just very tacky. Either charge more for the dish, but don't nickle and dime people. If we can afford a meal at the restaurant it is in bad form to then go ahead and charge for pasta, which is usually served with the dish. Not sure if I would ever recommend your restaurant to friend or family. Very disappointed. You did take off his meal on the bill but the night was less than I wanted it to be for him. We ended up getting milkshakes at Johnny Rockets and calling it a night. But I would like to comment on your bar staff, very accommodating and wanted to resolve the issue but we didn't have the time or ambition to try a different dish. We may have overlooked this if it was a busy night, but it wasn't busy. Such a shame, you used to have very authentic Italian food.
