Love this place. The service is always amazing and the food is delicious. I love their gnocchi. The restaurant is conveniently located within the casino and has a wonderful atmosphere. We’ve eaten here twice: once as a party of four seated in a private side room and once as a party of two seated at the bar. The only odd thing was that my partner ordered an old fashioned and the bartender made it incorrectly. This may not be the type of place where you can order an off-menu item but their food is absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend!

AMAZING experience! I went here for my birthday dinner and although not revealing that it was my birthday, my guest and I received the best food and service. Apps and entrees came out promptly And everything was seasoned and prepared beautifully. I had the Gnocchi with black truffle and my guest had the Chicken parmigiana. The Gnocchi were like pillows, very fresh and not dense, which sometimes happens, served with an amazing cream sauce and the chicken parmigiana was crispy and delightful. Both dishes came out steaming hot, which was amazing. If I visit Mohegan Sun again I will definitely be back.

Was taken here for my 21st birthday and now back for Valentine’s day the next year, quality still great and amazing. Service was good, she answered all our questions and listed the specials of the day including lobster ravioli. We didn’t get it but they sounded really good. I got a Blood Orange cocktail and my bf a martini, no appetizers, just 2 entrees. He ordered the filet mignon that comes with brussel sprouts (sauteed I assume) and the gnocchi, with portobello mushrooms, prosciutto and black truffle shavings on top!

Fine time at Ballos. Food was very good. Was a bit surprised to see that dinners are entrees only. Chicken Parm… is just that, Chicken Parm. No pasta, no veg choice, just Chicken Parm. It was VERY good, but come on. For the price, it would not break them to add some pasta. Also, they do not put bread on the table. I then found out that you have to ask…. for bread at an Italian restaurant!? SMH

This is a really good place for dinner and/or a drink. Really good atmosphere and you don’t feel like you’re in a casino. It’s pretty big… there’s both restaurant seating and bar seating. The bar is deep enough that it’s also a good area to eat. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is always really good. You can walk in for a table but it gets crowded if there’s an event going on (concerts, basketball games etc) so make a reservation if possible.

We went for my mom’s birthday dinner. I was not impressed that the place settings were just napkins folded in half under the plates. The food was just alright, and for the price, not worth it. My finance’s pasta was under cooked. My pasta was bland and needed salt. The drinks and coffees were great. The portions were also just okay. I had been once before and was very impressed. I’m not sure if this was just a one off bad experience, but I am really hesitant to go back. For the price points, I expected high quality food and good sized portions.

(Last visited 2/5/2022.) My girlfriend’s kid is a true Italian at heart. They love pasta and all things cheesy. They also recently told me that they wanted to try one of those pastas in which they cook it up in the wheel of Parmesan cheese. After some research I found out that Ballo is one of the only restaurants in Connecticut that will serve this dish! So we are here for their birthday and here’s how it went!

I love Italian cuisine. The food here was no tasty. The garlic bread was so oily I only ate one piece out of four. My husband had the calamari and he said it was great. Their moscato is absolutely delicious. Our entrees lacked flavor and seasoning everything was dry. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and my husband had the shrimp scampi. The chicken was dry. I ordered a side of spaghetti and it was so bland. This isn’t authentic Italian cuisine. The service was great. Our waitress was so sweet and apologized for my experience with the food.

The atmosphere and service was fantastic. If you can do the cheese wheel at your table, do it! The wine was great. The food was good. Our waiter couldn’t have been nicer and more accommodating.
