UNCASVILLE, CT (May 30, 2025) – A beloved culinary landmark at Mohegan Sun enters an exciting new chapter as The Farm Italy Mohegan Sun officially opens today at 4:00pm. Located in the heart of Casino of the Earth, the celebrated Ballo Italian space has been completely reimagined—ushering in a new era of Italian dining under the continued leadership of restaurateur John Tunney and his acclaimed culinary, design, and operations team. Reservations can be made at mohegansun.com/farmitaly!
While the architectural grandeur of Ballo Italian remains intact, The Farm Italy Mohegan Sun reveals a breathtaking transformation—evoking the rustic elegance of an Italian countryside estate. With artful décor, custom designed lighting, imported trees and a refined menu steeped in the traditions and seasonality of Italian cuisine, the new concept blends sophistication with rustic elegance. The space will also feature a stunning bar and dining space that offers a dramatic visual experience, anchored by a series of towering, gold-accented archways casting a warm glow over the marble bar and custom white-upholstered barstools that invite guests to linger. The dining area is framed by arched colonnades, textured brick walls, and strategically placed greenery. The architecture subtly divides the space, creating cozy alcoves and natural partitions that lend a sense of privacy without isolation—ideal for intimate dinners, quiet conversations, or semi-private gatherings.
“The transformation of Ballo Italian into The Farm Italy Mohegan Sun is a true evolution of everything we love about Italian food and hospitality,” says owner John Tunney. “We’ve taken the passion and spirit behind The Farm Italy and infused it into a space that has meant so much to so many. It’s not just a redesign—it’s a reawakening. We’re beyond excited to welcome guests into this next chapter.”
Whether guests are hosting a celebratory dinner, an executive event, or a discreet evening out, this space has been designed to evoke comfort, connection, and luxury in every detail. This is more than a restaurant—it’s a retreat and a showpiece of elevated hospitality.
With its unwavering commitment to scratch-made dishes, seasonal ingredients, and genuine hospitality, The Farm Italy has earned national acclaim—including recognition as one of OpenTable’s Top 100 Restaurants in the U.S. A standout on New York’s dining scene, The Farm Italy now joins Mohegan Sun’s exclusive new culinary lineup, neighboring its recently opened sister concept in the Casino of the Earth, The Shed Restaurant—an all-day brunch destination that has quickly become a must-visit at Mohegan Sun.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to unveil the new Farm Italy Mohegan Sun” -said Jeff Hamilton, President of Mohegan Sun. “Classic BALLO dishes like the Chicken Parmesan The Fritto Misto remain, while there is a variety of new and desliscoius scratch-made options on the menu. Combine that with the beautiful transformation that has brought Farm Italy Mohegan Sun to life, and you have a truly special and refreshed dining experience that we’re really excited about.”
At the heart of the experience is a menu rooted in tradition and elevated by craft. Each meal is recommended to begin with the house-baked bread, served warm and finished with premium olive oil, fragrant herbs, and sea salt. Signature dishes include:
Branzino – A delicate filet served with burro bianco, lemon, and broccolini.
Pappardelle Bolognese – Rich beef ragù over fresh pappardelle with a dollop of ricotta.
Chicken Parmesan – Crispy house-made cutlet with mozzarella, pecorino, pomodoro, and fresh basil.

Blood Orange Margarita – Fresno chili-infused tequila with blood orange, lime, and basil salt rim.
Nero Old Manhattan – A deep, layered blend of Angel’s Envy bourbon, Amaro di Rucola, amerena cherry and angostura bitters.
