The food was sublime, the drinks heady. None of that matters however without tremendous service, which I’m pleased to report we had. Our main server, Sam, was personable, accommodating, and overall just the perfect person to enhance our birthday celebration. The auxiliary staff ( bussers, cheese wheeler, etc.) were also professional and friendly. Finally, a shout out to Jesse who made us feel more than welcomed!

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?
