This restaurant was absolutely delightful! Small, quaint and homey in a way. Our party absolutely enjoyed every minute, sip, and bite we had at Balsamico. Came to Toronto from NYC for a business trip for only 2 nights and we were all so glad we found this gem.
Authentic Italian food. What more could you ask for.? Fresh bread with oil and balsamic was served and it kept coming without even asking. I ordered a couple items from their specials that night: onion soup with cheese (similar to French onion but... not) lol. Extremely delicious! Had a piece of salty toasted bread in the center that added wonderful flavor with every spoon full. Also ordered the Aranchini for the table which were very pleasant. Everyone enjoyed it!
My main entree was the gnocchi and braised short rib. This was absolutely PHENOMENAL! So savory and soul soothing. This defines the term "comfort food". We had a wonderful red wine to accompany our meals.
Finished off the night with tiramisu and affogato. Both very delicious and a great way to end our wonderful experience!
Highly recommend! I think this place is still new because this will only be the 28th review for this gem. It will soon see a lot of action soon if it already isn't, I'm sure of that!
Keep up the great service and food!
