I wouldn't really call this an Italian restaurant it's more like a wine bar with a limited appetizer and entree menu. I choose this place base on their Yelp reviews. It's not the type of place you have to get all dressed up for; it's a casual vibe. The food was excellent; we enjoyed their Tomato soup which was the soup of the day. Flat bread with Kale and Feta was ok didn't blow me away. For our entree we went with the Hunter sauce Pappardelle and it was absolutely delicious. They had a pretty good wine selection which is a plus. We came here late and way past the dinner rush so there was no wait for a seat outside. The service was fast and we had a very pleasant server. Balsam Inn is a place I would hang out at if I wanted to enjoy a couple of glasses of wine and have something to nibble on.
