About BALLO Italian Restaurant and Social Club
BALLO Italian Restaurant and Social Club, located in Mohegan Sun’s Casino of the Earth, 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, is home to one of the most innovative late-night concepts in the United States. BALLO at Mohegan Sun was inspired by San Galgano – a Gothic abbey built in the 12th century and located in the hills of Tuscany. Once in the high-impact, high-energy abbey, 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. Owner John Tunney is committed to fresh, locally grown produce and innovative Italian staples you can eat from noon to midnight. The culinary team of Executive Chef Matthew Adler and Chef de Cuisine Shaun Golan execute the creative inspiring menu at BALLO. Once you’ve eaten like a high-roller, then let the Bacchanal begin. At 11 pm on the dot, a rehearsed set of servers at BALLO will carry out a portion of the dining room furniture and guests will literally be able to “dance on tables” -- Italian night life style.
