BALLO Italian Restaurant is an Italian experience with intense design combinations, exceptional service and a fresh, authentic menu of Italian favorites and new creations.

Move further into BALLO and visitors can sit at one of the largest carrera marble bars ever built or have dinner in. Arches, stone and bold materials will accent this exuberant dining experience. But the food at BALLO is the real celebration!

The decor was great and seating was comfortable. Thank you to our server Shelby and the rest of the staff for making our anniversary meal spectacular! Will definitely be back next year to celebrate.

We have been coming for years and are so happy that Farm Italy opened close to our town and we can enjoy the similar experience at home too! We also love going to the Shed and have one at home too! The food, service and ambiance is impeccable. The cheese wheel is the best we have ever had and the chicken dishes are amazing! We are so happy to enjoy fine dining and always look forward to our Mohegan trip!

We had the Caesar salad & prawns over spinach. Everything was delicious including the drink! I had the red Sangria with Prosecco. For dessert, we had the flourless chocolate cake and salted caramel ice cream which was a must have if you’re looking for a tasty sweet treat!

Food is always wonderful and the restaurant is beautiful. Disappointing that the complimentary bread service has been discontinued as well as the complimentary cannolis for a birthday. Also, we were seated in the small side room. There were about 12 to 15 people (5 tables of 2-4 ppl) seated in this smaller room and the noise level was extremely loud. Would much prefer to sit out in the regular restaurant area where there’s more room for the noise to be absorbed.
