Best Italian Restaurants in Old Lyme

Our waitress Heather was just great, she was able to accommodate our requests which deviated slightly from the menu. She was even able to locate utensils for our leftover which was much appreciated. The Chicken parm was absolutely delicious! The rigatoni in vodka sauce was really good as well. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, I almost felt like I was back in Italy in a small restaurant. I would definitely go back next time I’m in town.

Lovely atmosphere, food was delicious, very well prepared and served hot from kitchen to table. Service was warm and professional, and prompt. Highly recommend this lovely restaurant

Although in a Casino, Ballo's is definitely a refined, lovely respite from the gambling areas. Never rushed, no hustle bustle - even in busiest (Holiday) times. We are seniors and use points and perks and save them just for the purpose of using them at Ballo for all of our special occasions - birthdays, holidays and our anniversary!! The servers are always well versed, friendly, social and attentive to one's needs/wants. My husband must use a walker and everyone has always been so accommodating and helpful. And, most important, of course, is the food - which is always wonderful. Never, ever have we been disappointed. Thank you.
