Balsamico Ristorante

Great pizza, the service was great! a must to try! They have great selections of salads as well

We had a really nice time at this little restaurant, it was packed and crowded but still a nice buzzing atmosphere. We sat right beside the bar and watched the bartender make very cool drinks. I had one of the drink specials and it was delicious!
We all enjoyed our meal and the service was excellent too.

Food was amazing,! My partner had the lemon chicken and I had the seafood pasta and both were fantastic… The waiter was very friendly and helpful… Love this place!

Awesome Italian cuisine! Couldn’t ask for anything more in a restaurant! Great environment and friendly accommodating staff! Pizza, calamari and the veal dish (scallopini) are to die for. Prosciutto pizza is a definite favourite as well, just ask for it if you cannot find it on the menu. Will return for sure!

Quaint Trattoria in midtown — -the best dish, in my opinion, shrimp in sambuca sauce. I’ve had it at least 10 times (I even make it at home now)…it’s that good!!! The menu is Italian — it’s my go-​to restaurant when friends and family want to go out. The service is attentive but not over the top. It’s a cozy place that is well worth a try. Enjoy!!!

Came in here as a walk in especially with great reviews from Unilocal.It is small but great service. The antipasti plate fresh and delicious but nothing out the ordinary. The mains that we had were not super memorable. We had the orecchiette pasta and the lobster ravioli. I must say my pasta tasted like it was previously frozen with hard uncooked edges. Sigh. I did tell the server that and they passed on a complimentary drink.
Again the service was top notch and lots of regulars return but in terms of taste and food I don’t think I will be coming back.

Went here last night for the first time, and will be back! Delicious and a very pleasant experience!

the best Italian restaurant in the neighbourhood. The staff is great and so is the food!

The pizza here is great! Service is amazibg. This is a nice place, with quality food without any pretentiousness. I will definitely be back.

Always friendly and everything is home made. Service is amazing food is even better. Grilled octopus a must have!

Having eaten at many italian places around the GTA, my cousin had recommended that i try this place for a change. Its located right on yonge street next to many other restaurants so competition is stiff! And don’t get pulled into heading to St Louis Bar& Grill across the street for wings and beer ;)
First impressions: nice décor, friendly staff, very welcoming.
Food: i had the fish (pictured) what can i say? It was amazing, although a bit on the pricer side. We had the pizza also which is oven baked on the premises and delicious. Overall food was what i expected, and the malbec wine was very nice!

I just want to say that the pizza and pasta here are AMAZING!
The cocktails are okay, so does the service.

This is my favorite restaurant in this neighborhood. It’s very homey and the food is fantastic. This is a smaller restaurant so definitely recommend making reservation.
On Friday nights they have specials which are worth getting (not sure other nights have specials– call to confirm)
We ordered MP fish (whole fish) which was delicious. One person got the home made lobster ravioli which has good chunk of lobster meat inside. Another person got the home made squid ink pasta which was delicious. Last person ordered a pasta special which I really enjoyed the sauce.
Also save room for dessert! The dessert are so tasty! We got Crème brûlée, tiramisu and panna cotta. All are delicious. I highly recommend the tiramisu, one of the best in town!

An amazing place… just got home and I couldn’t wait to get online and brag about the food, atmosphere, friendly (good looking guys) just the whole deal was exceptional!!!
This restaurant is a gem!!!
Don’t forget to ask about grilled octopus appetizer (which they don’t have often, it was on the special)
OMG I had never, ever had something so good in my life, and whole fish was just delicious, we where party of 8 ppl and these guys get so packed that if our friends weren’t regulars @ Balsamico, no way we would get reso I am so glad I went out tonight,
oh almost forgot Tiramisu (did I mention home made) it’s out of this world
Give it a try you won’t regret it
