Contribute Feedback What Darlene Barrows likes about Balsamico:
We visited for dinner on a Tuesday evening with some friends visiting from out of town. Overall, the experience was top notch. The restaurant's ambience is warm and inviting and staff were friendly, approachable and helpful - thank you Linda! Wine selection was decent (we had two bottles of the valpolicella ripasso - a rich red at a reasonable price) and the food was out of this world. Calamari and homemade foccacia... View all feedback.
What Presley Yost doesn't like about Balsamico:
Why oh why must small local eateries mark up their wine lists by so much? To be blunt, I can't define it any other way than greed and disrespect for patrons when local bistros mark wine up by 300% or darn close to it. Does it make sense for a young couple to dine out when the entry level price of a bottle of vino is $55 and then moves up to $60 and $70 with the very next option on the list? It's greed and its shamefu... View all feedback.
We ordered a risotto funghi and it wasn't well cooked. We explained that to the waitress, so they took it and when was brought again, wasn't well cooked yet. We didn't bother anymore, I don't think I will eat again there. The service wasn't good neither.
The main dishes and desserts at this restaurant are amazing! We absolutely loved them!
It was really unexpected with three restaurants which I had in mind that I went to had an hour plus of wait time for a table.As I walked along Eglinton, I stumble upon Balsamico. I never know why I didn't notice this quaint, awesome restaurant before. Maybe because it was right next to Little Sisters and I assumed it was all one restaurant.But my friend pointed out and we thought since we haven't tried this place, I'd give it a go. And the stars aligned, with just very minimal wait time. It was after all dinnertime that I was there.Linda the hostess was amazing! If you don't know what to order or is plagued with indecisiveness, she the one that you should look for. She asks the right questions and reviews the right choice which you've already chosen, before making the recommendation. And then tells you the justification. Just awesome for a want it all person like me!!The atmosphere was comfortable and efficient as there is a smaller table and they cleaned it out right away, before the next dish comes arrives on your table almost like an orchestrated symphony.If you are craving for Italian, check out this place. It gets my vote for good food, good service, great recommendations and ambience
This is one of my favorite places to have dinner. I love the mushroom risotto and the kale salad here!
I was pleasantly surprised when all the restaurants I had in mind had long wait times, but then I stumbled upon Balsamico on Eglinton. This quaint and awesome restaurant was right next to Little Sisters, but I had never noticed it before. My friend and I decided to give it a try since we hadn't been before, and we were lucky to have minimal wait time, especially since it was dinnertime. Linda, the hostess, was fantastic and helped us make decisions on what to order. The atmosphere was comfortable and efficient, with tables being cleaned promptly and dishes arriving like a well-coordinated symphony. If you're in the mood for Italian food, I highly recommend checking out this place for its great food, service, recommendations, and ambience.
