Beautiful restaurant- especially for lunch- go shopping after with the 20% discount you get on your receipt.

We ate at Ballo at the recommendations of others including a waitress from another restaurant. The food, beverages and service were impeccable!!!

Always pleased when I come here for dinner. I was sat on time and there were no snags with reservation. Timing between apps and main course was perfect. We didn't feel rushed or over crowded with plates at the table. A little over halfway throughout the meal someone who wasn't our server check on how the food was which was refreshing. Overall a wonderful experience I got to brag about at work today.

Iron Chef is an excellent restaurant and when we leave we are already planning our return visit. The steaks are perfection. We don’t think you can find a better steak, anywhere.

L’Orcio is always excellent — very reliable. The only downside, in the icey winter, is parking — but that is on the city of New Haven.
