A New Culinary Adventure Begins in the Village of Kleinburg
Ontario, Canada, January 5, 2016 (Newswire.com) - There is no better location for a memorable get together than Belsito Trattoria-Vino, a new establishment in the historic Village of Kleinburg that offers a creative culinary concept and a delectable menu that fuses tradition with innovative cooking techniques, combining authentic Mediterranean ingredients with premium local and imported products.
Belsito Trattoria-Vino is the creation of experienced Chef Gino Guercio. Honoring his Italian heritage, his new trattoria was named after his ancestral hometown of Belsito, located in the province of Cosenza, Italy. Inspired by the innate culinary talent of his mother and many aunts and uncles, Chef Gino spent his childhood in the kitchen, learning recipes that are still prepared for family gatherings. At a young age, Chef Gino discovered his passion in the kitchen, starting his career at age 14. He graduated from the George Brown College of Hospitality, wining several awards, including the Gold Medal in Le Salon Culinaire competition and a Silver medal in the Taste of Canada. For over two decades, Chef Gino has held progressive executive roles in the culinary divisions of luxury brands, including the Four Seasons, Fairmont, Delta and Intercontinental hotels in Canada, Mexico and Japan, managing a multitude of restaurants with almost every culinary concept.
"I am very excited to see the result of many months of planning, and can't wait to welcome patrons to my new restaurant." said Chef Gino. "Belsito offers dinner, lunch and weekend brunch right in the charming Village of Kleinburg, steps from the McMichael Art Gallery, the Kortright Center for Conservation and the Humber River Trails. The menu showcases recipes that my family has prepared for generations, and a selection of my favorite Italian dishes."
