    Went to Bella for Valentine’s Day. The overall experience was nice, just a few details that could be improved such as remembering that we booked the full Valentine’s Day Experience and not be placed next to the Emergency Exit when you plan to pay a 400$ Experience.

    When we were first sat down, we waited what seemed to be a very long time for the server to come check in. We were sat next to a really loud annoying table and we asked to be moved. Once that happened, the experience was great. The food was amazing. I had the filet and stuffed mushrooms, my husband had one of the pizzas. The food was delicious and we had the Gelato for dessert. The house manager was very nice and made sure we were taken care of after the long wait and poor experience in the beginning. Highly recommend for the food. We truely appreciated the manager, thank you!

    Always enjoy our dining experience at Balla Soul. We brought friends with us and they both commented, immediately about the bread and homemade pasta. I love the service we received from Eriq, and the manager stopped by to check on us. I will plan to visit again, and again!

    We took our aunt to Balla to celebrate her birthday and the Lunar New Year. We were offered a table next to the window with a nice view of the LV BLVD. The waitress greeted us with a beautiful smile, and that just set the tone for a great start. She was very attentive and helpful in helping us select the dishes we liked. We loved it! We've been coming here for steaks and good Italian food for a couple of years, and the quality of food and service has always been great and consistent. It's our go-to place, as Balla offers the best value for restaurants on the strip. Dishes we ordered: Appetizer: Margarita pizza, Main: Rib eye, NY strip, and Parpadella pasta Side: Spicy broccoli, garlic mashed potatoes and stuffed mushrooms Drinks: a cocktail and two glasses of red wine.

    We were a party of four and ordered three different pasta dishes, all of which were excellent. All of the pasta was made on premises. We also had an order of the fried calamari which was especially tender and quite tasty with just the right amount of bread.
