Ballo has long been a favorite of ours so I was saddened by the food last night. Their antipasti usually comes out on a large charcuterie-type board/platter. Last night it was on a large football shaped bowl. The prosciutto was drier than usual. It's usually shaved fine & melts in your mouth. Everything else tasted fine and was of usual quality but for us the prosciutto is everything so a disappointment overall. We also ordered the meatballs appetizer. Years ago they were served topped w/fresh house made ricotta but no more. Now they're covered in melted mozzarella which is fine. The meatballs used to be the best. I haven't had them in a while so when I ordered them last night and they were hard & dry, another disappointment. They used to be super moist. The chicken scaloppini entree was very good. Service was good. Very smiley, friendly server. Just not sure I'm racing back there on my next visit. Maybe it's because it was Monday night. Who knows?

Excellent dinner and drinks! Very pleasant and attentive waitstaff. I tried their Arugula Salad and Chicken Parmigiana and both were great! I noticed they have nice smaller private party rooms for special occasions! Looking forward to dining there again and possibly planning a family birthday dinner party there!

We had a wonderful dining experience this past Friday night at Ballo. The food was fantastic and the portions were great. The restaurant staff were extremely attentive and friendly. The manager made sure to check on diners and make sure everything was going well. Our waiter, Brandon, could not have been more efficient, friendly and fun. We were celebrating our 38th. anniversary and he added a special touch to our evening. We would highly recommend Ballo Italian restaurant.

We enjoyed the food. The waiters recommendations the service was excellent. My husband had the lobster spaghetti and I had the Samond. The lobster spaghetti was a little spicy but good and our friends had raviolis and enjoyed them. The samon was delicious. Definitely will come back our first time there
