  I went to Balla with 10 others for a team lunch celebration. Most tables have distant harbour views - perfect for lunch on a blue-sky day. Service was friendly and efficient. No beers on tap, but a good variety of bottled beer and wine - just a tad on the expensive side. Breads, olive oil, pickles and cured meats were fairly generous serves and all were delicious.

  Came here a couple of times and it was alright, kept forgetting to write a review. But the last time we were there, ordered the special lobster menu. When the dish arrived it was clearly yabby.

  The staff were hard to hail when you needed them and the worst part was being confronted by a gigantic cockroach in the toilet. It was big. I quickly notified the staff, who looked pretty freaked out by it as well but then one of the blazer wearing waiters, who seem to have a bit more authority, walked in shut the door and presumably killed the cockroach. I wish I took a picture.

  The food is also quite good. The presentation is great, and the flavours has always been to my tastes.

  Loved it! We had a corporate lunch here last week and the food was phenomenal. Friendly and professional wait staff really made the difference to us and we will definitely hold our next shareholders lunch here too. Thanks Balla!

  He tried to explain that these things just happen and that it wasn't in the kitchen... Hello!? Do you think a massive roach like that is alone? And they would be confined to the toilet? Anyway, they reluctantly gave us free coffee (that's it, I know right?) Probably my last visit there.

  I had their seafood lunch special (one course for $29, two for $39 with a coffee and biscotti). The food was fresh, cooked well, but just slightly salty. This special was excellent value so I'd recommend you check the Offers tab on their website for current specials. I hope you've found something useful here. In summary, I would definitely recommend a lunch at Balla.

  Food was an interesting take on Italian classics. The Toothfish was cooked to perfection as was The Pasta . Oysters were fresh and the Wine list impressive. The canoli were fresh and the Wait Service had just the right amount of arrogance to make it an authentic Italian experience.

  From the few times I've dined here, the service has consistently been excellent. Staff are friendly and courteous.
