Balla Italian Soul is an award wining Italian Restaurant by a James Beard Award Wining Chef. This restaurant is located in the Sahara Hotel/Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.I do note that our visit was during the winter break between Christmas and New Years and this restaurant really did seem short on help. Our server forgot things promised a few times (water and silverware between courses) and also offered us black pepper for our salads when we were half finished after they were dropped off by a runner. It seemed like we waited a very long time between courses. Most of the food was good. The pastas were the best courses we tried. We both really didn't care for the Caesar because it taste more like ranch to us. We also didn't really like the over cooked mushy broccolini. Sea Breams were cooked nicely but were very small portions.I also made my reservation with a birthday notice. The hostess inquired about it but nothing happened from the server so I don't know if she forgot or never was told. It was just like dining at a lower end restaurant. Improper Caesar, Not so great service and mushy vegetables.

Came here for a birthday dinner with friends. I ordered the lamb pappardelle and a glass of the red wine that was on their happy hour menu. The pasta was good, the lamb was mostly fat unfortunately. It's great they offer happy hour 5-6 every day. The service was ok, it seemed rushed as we had almost 2 hours before our show and wanted to get drinks but they brought they checks out and I had to ask for them for a birthday dessert even though it was on the reservation.

After watching Magic Mike, we decided to stay at the Sahara hotel and eat dinner at Balla. It was one of the best Italian meals I've had! The food was amazing. Perfectly cooked, steaming hot, fresh, and tasty. The Caesar salad was so fresh and crunchy. The Chicken Parmesan just melted in my mouth. The customer service was also great. From the hostess to our server, everyone was friendly and professional. The ambiance is casual but modern and clean. I would definitely stop by again for meal!

What a beautiful restaurant! My boyfriend and I stayed at the Sahara and wanted to try a restaurant for date night - we love Italian and this restaurant exceeded our expectations! I ordered the agnolotti pasta and it was delicious! The garlic potatoes were the best I have ever had! For dessert, we order the dark chocolate tart - absolutely delicious! All the menu items were appetizing and intriguing. Service was wonderful, our waitress was attentive and gave us great recommendations! We will definitely be eating here again when we come back to LV!

We had an amazing meal at Balla Italian Soul!I'm not sure what we loved more, the cocktails? The Steak? The pasta? Everything from the wait staff to the dessert was delicious and top shelf. Once the restaurant was open, we grabbed our cocktails and were escorted to a sexy looking table.It's our wedding anniversary and the staff is going the extra mile to make sure we have the best night. Once seated, our waiter explained some of the specials. I've been reading about the steak cuts so a Rib Eye for two is a must. We started with the beets and the Pasta with Dungeness crab. The beets were prepared very elegantly and loaded with flavor. The homemade pasta intertwined with Dungeness crab was a chef'd up dish. I could have been a happy man with just this dish. Now the ribeye comes to the table.The ribeye was sourced out west and it was the perfect cut. Nicely marbled and had the right charr to give the soul of Balla Italian. This was a perfect steak to share with my lovely wife.We're pretty packed at this point but the restaurant recognized our anniversary with homemade gelato. The gelato was perfect ending to this incredible meal.Balla Italian Soul, one of the best restaurants in Las Vegas. I highly recommend dining here, we had an incredible experience.

Bella Restaurant is a must visit! Excellent food, exceptional service, and a perfect atmosphere. The Burrata salad is a game-changer, and the desserts are top-notch. The upscale interior and service make for a truly unusual dining experience!

My husband and I decided to try Balla Italian Soul for an early Valentine's dinner. We started with the Whipped Ricotta with golden beets....fabulous. Then we had stuffed mushrooms to accompany our Ribeye and New York Strip steaks. Service by Robert was fantastic and our meal was wonderful. My husband requested his steak only have salt for seasoning....perfect and also perfectly cooked to medium rare. Our wine and water glasses never ran empty. We are locals and will definitely be back. Free parking is also an added bonus.
