Ballo Italian Restaurant, located in the Mohegan Sun Casino, offers a unique Italian experience with intense design combinations, exceptional service and a fresh, authentic menu of Italian favorites and new creations. BALLO, which means dance in Italian, was inspired by San Galgano – a Gothic abbey built in the 12th century and located in the hills of Tuscany. Guests enjoy a massive by-the-glass wine list, specialty BALLO cocktails and freshly prepared Italian fare from the open pantry while sitting in a cathedral-like room replete with, Italian fixtures, fabrics and dramatic lighting. But the food at BALLO is the real celebration. An exquisite yet approachable menu of authentic Italian favorites designed with a fresh house pantry in mind. Ballo’s unforgettable authentic Italian cuisine is centered on utilizing "only the best ingredients, touched the least amount of times, by the best pair of hands." ~ Owner John J. Tunney III
