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.
Cacio e Pepe – A Roman classic featuring bucatini, cracked black pepper, and aged pecorino.
Double R Ranch NY Strip Steak – A 16 oz. prime steak finished with saba char.
The bar program showcases a curated list of signature cocktails and elevated mocktails, featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients and Italian-inspired flair. Highlights include:
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.

Old Dominion’s skyscraping anthems and electrifying live shows have put the multi-platinum-selling band prominently at the forefront of Country music. Fusing clever lyrics and an infectious sound, their lyrical wit and hook-heavy songwriting has certainly proved to be a winning formula for Nashville’s hottest band. It’s no wonder Rolling Stone cited Old Dominion as “one of mainstream Country music’s most popular live groups.” Since breaking onto the music scene, the band has notched nine No. 1 singles at Country radio, surpassed five billion on-demand streams, earned over a dozen RIAA Platinum and Gold single certifications, and headlined arenas and amphitheaters around the globe.
Over the course of their career, Old Dominion has received numerous awards, accolades, and nominations from the GRAMMYs, CMAs, CMT, American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and iHeart Radio. Old Dominion are currently the reigning 8X ACM and 7X CMA “Group of the Year.” The band took home their seventh successive win for “Vocal Group of the Year” at the 2024 CMA Awards – the longest streak in CMA history. To celebrate this historic feat, the band performed a seven-show residency at Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium this February, raising more than $1.25M for seven charities the band has been actively engaged with over their career. Most recently, Old Dominion took home their historic eighth consecutive “Group of the Year” win at the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards, breaking the records for both all-time and most consecutive wins in the category.
Additional honors include ACM “New Group of the Year,” ACCA “Breakthrough Group of the Year,” AIMP “Songwriter Artist of the Year” and Music Row “Group/Duo of the Year” and “Breakthrough Artist of the Year.” In 2021, Old Dominion received two GRAMMY nominations for their song “Some People Do,” including “Best Country Song” and “Best Country Duo/Group Performance.” At the 2020 CMT Awards, the band took home their first win for “Group Video of The Year.” Frontman Matthew Ramsey was named ASCAP’s “Artist of the Year” in 2017.
Old Dominion’s latest album Memory Lane was released October 6th, 2023. Its title track made history when it became the “No. 1 Most Added Song” at Country Radio for the first two consecutive add weeks of the new calendar year, a feat which no other artist has accomplished since 2010. Old Dominion scored their record-breaking ninth No. 1 single at Country Radio with “Memory Lane.” The track achieved the most spins in a week by any duo or group, (breaking their own record on “No Such Thing As A Broken Heart”).
In September 2024, the band debuted a greatest hits compilation Odies but Goodies. The 31-track collection spans the band’s journey from lark to meaningful headliner in a way that pays tribute to what the fans ask for.
In addition to their massive radio and streaming successes, fan demand for Old Dominion’s live shows is evident week after week as the band headline sold-out arenas. They continue to break their own ticket sales records, in addition to a string of venue records, as fans can’t get enough of their stadium-worthy set.
Old Dominion is lead singer Matthew Ramsey, lead guitarist Brad Tursi, multi-instrumentalist Trevor Rosen, bassist Geoff Sprung and drummer Whit Sellers.

This caught the attention of the award-winning Las Vegas show, Legends in Concert where for many years he starred as ‘Elvis’ in their Myrtle Beach, Las Vegas, Branson and Atlantic City show rooms. Each year he stars in the “Elvis Tribute Artist Spectacular Birthday Edition Tour”, an extravaganza with Elvis’ own musicians, back-up singers, and friends, in major venues in the US and headlines the Elvis Tribute Artist World Tours.
Shawn has released five CDs. He has performed with Elvis’ closest friends, musicians and singers such as JD Sumner and the Stamps Quartet, The Jordanaires, The Imperials, DJ Fontana, Charlie Hodge, Jerry Scheff, The Sweet Inspirations, Joe Guercio, Jerry Schilling and Joe Esposito.
On Elvis’ 70th birthday, Shawn became grand champion at the $25,000 “World Elvis Tribute Artist Competition”. He then received “The People’s Choice Award” from Gibson Guitar Co in Nashville for “Best Concert Elvis”. Shawn was then named the “World’s Greatest Elvis” by 6.5 million international viewers on BBC1 Television in the United Kingdom. Finally, on August 16th, on the 30th anniversary of Elvis’ passing, Shawn was named the ‘First Ever’ “Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist” by Elvis Presley Enterprises in Memphis, TN. Shawn has record breaking performances in the US, Switzerland, Canada Australia, the UK and South America.
Shawn was a featured performer on the Late Show with David Letterman performing to over 8 million viewers on CBS. He portrayed Elvis in Shake Rattle & Roll on VH1 and CBS, appeared on the TV series Impractical Jokers and What we do in the Shadows and portrayed Elvis in the HBO TV series Vinyl produced by Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger.
