Detail for Ballo (closed) : Restaurant, Italian / Dancing

[an error occurred while processing this directive]


The latest restaurant by Rosebud owner Alex Dana, this spot features Northern Italian cuisine. Menu items include brick-oven pizzas, lobster fra diavolo, and antipasti; most entrees in the high-teens range. DJ starts spinning around 9 pm; kitchen open until midnight to feed hungry dancers. Ballo is open for lunch Mon-Fri at 11 am. - Alotta, 07/01/2006

We stopped by for dinner - the menu is a bit pricier than we thought ($60 per couple, with 1 glass of wine); the food, however, is excellent! Service was way above standard. Recommended are the "Priest Strangler" pasta with lobster sauce, and the rigatoni with diced sausage.

On Saturdays, the joine becomes a disco lounge, with a DJ after 10pm. - ace9999, 10/10/2006

Awesome Meatballs!!! Cool atmosphere. - mrieger, 07/03/2006

Kind of like Iggy's, this place features an upscale decor, a long bar, and funky music. Sauces are referred to as Gravy in the menu ... this is our kind of place. The Bucatini (thick long noodles with meat gravy) was excellent. Bread with olive oil is provided. A great place for lunch, or dinner on your way



to the AMC theater. - ace99, 07/03/2006
