42 Best Italian Restaurants in Salt Lake City

“Overall it was a very great experience. The staff was super attentive and attended us quickly. The atmosphere is good, tables are properly spaced out and is not noisy.

I really enjoyed the mussels, it was the first time I tried them with cappers and loved the flavor combination. For mains we went for the black linguine with salmon and the paccheri al forno. The paccheri portion was huge and delicious. I loved the fact that the food was served warmed and it was very comforting. I highly recommend and will be coming back.“

“we ate everything. it all wonderful“

“A simple reservation process on OpenTable set us up for a good night. The staff was attentive and the food was flavorful. The whipped brie appetizer was the star of the night. Good value, but for the area of town, I was expecting slightly better.“

“Excellent small “modern Italian” restaurant. Handmade pasta and foods, worth the wait. Friendly service. A great longer lunch stop near the university.“

“What amazing Stromboli’s. So fresh and full of so much flavors. Kyle greeted my wife and I when we arrived to pick our sandwich a up. We were a little late and were offered new fries. What a great jester. I would recommend everyone to try this at least once. You will always come back!!“

“Came here for the first time and brought a guest from Cincinnati, we very much enjoyed the atmosphere, the food and Ben was an outstanding waiter, have already recommended this to some other associates visiting from Iowa, I'm certain they won't be disappointed.“

“Great service and great great food and drinks. Loved it.“

“The most incredible restaurant I’ve been to in slc and I’ve lived here my whole life! Their food is so, so fresh and delicious. Everything feels like it’s been made with love, attention, and care. The staff is some of the most friendly, welcoming people I’ve met and they are always eager to assist. I’ve seen the owner on site a few times, and she also seems like a dream. If I’ve heard correctly, her family is Italian and the food absolutely reflects Italian values. I dream about coming here on weekends, and every loved one I’ve brought here is just as obsessed. 10/10, there are no poor menu choices.“

“Roux is one of the top restaurants in SLC and needs to be talked about more! The space is understated but very well designed, the menu is beautifully curated, service outstanding and the food is always excellent. We've been several times for dinner and weekend brunch and have always been extremely impressed.“

“Today was a very long day, and this was the experience that brought my day from crappy to great! Our waiter Luke was FANTASIC! He made sure our order was correct, drinks/soup/salad were always full. The food was great and came out exactly as ordered! The restaurant was clean and active. Thank you for a great ending to a tough day.“

“Simply the best Salt Lake City has to offer in dining. What an experience!“

“The experience at Tucson Bistro was incredible, thanks to Mr. Keval! They are an amazing mixologist who created the best drinks anyone has ever had. Even on a busy night, customers feel like they are the only ones there, with the bartender checking in at the right moments. We love coming Radison again 🤩“

“I love this place. Visiting from Australia and one of my travel colleagues found this gem of a restaurant. Fresh pasta that is just delicious. A nice range of pasta to choose from and then a tasty range of sauces to select. You can mix and match as you please.

We had a group of 10 and the staff were awesome in accommodating us with our seating.

The food service is quick, portion size spot on and meals that melt in your mouth.

This is not a fancy restaurant, don't expect silver service, just expect a nice meal and lovely staff.

Enjoy and you can thank me later. Oh and sorry I ate my meal before taking photos which is so unlike me.“

“It has been over 15 years since I had visited this establishmen. My wife and I stopped in for dinner tonight and the service was simply amazing (thank you Amy), the food was outstanding and we had the opportunity to visit at the end of our meal, with Jim the General Manager. Every aspect of our experience was really great. We’re thinking of going back again tomorrow. We go out at least once a week for dinner and try different places. This was the best yet!“

“This was beyond amazing food and service.“

“Love the atmosphere. Great staff and delicious food.“

“INCREDIBLE food and great quality EVERY time. Everything is handmade from scratch. Pizza and Pasta are killer and highly recommended.“

“My go-to place for brunch in Salt Lake City! I'm there practically every Sunday. Brooklyn the hostess and the waitresses Hearty and Marina are so delightful and helpful. The blueberry pancake, the artichoke dip, the avocado toast, and the ricotta toast are just a few of my favorite dishes.“

“I think this is the best pizza I've ever eaten. I don't normally even care for deep dish style pizzas, but I absolutely love The Slice House's thick stuff. Nothing but the best ingredients and they really do respect the craft. Fan for life.“

“After nearly a decade of living here—and even once living just around the corner—I can hardly believe this was my very first visit to this restaurant. Following an event, my friend and I decided to stop in for dinner before his long drive home. To our delight, we were seated right away.
The space itself carries a warm, traditional Italian charm, instantly setting the tone for the evening. With wonderful company by my side and an inviting atmosphere around us, I knew we were in for a memorable experience.
As is my custom when trying a new Italian restaurant, I ordered the carbonara—a dish I believe is a true test of authenticity and quality when done right. To my satisfaction, the service was impeccable; our waitress was attentive, and the timing of the meal was perfect. Our dishes arrived promptly, just when our appetites were ready.
The pasta was rich, flavorful, and thoroughly enjoyable—certainly a dish worth recommending. Altogether, the experience left a lasting impression, and this is undoubtedly a spot I’ll suggest to others seeking an authentic Italian dining experience.“

“บรรยากาศ​โรแมนติก​ อาหารอร่อย​ พนง.บริการดี​ ดนตรี​และนักร้อง​ ร้องเพลงเพราะ​มาก​ 👍😊“

“We recently had a burger and a pizza here. The pizza was excellent. I had the margarita pizza and the crust was thin and super crispy. The flavors were very fresh with the crushed and roasted tomatoes and cheese. The burger was very good - messy and good. Our server was very attentive and helpful. We had lunch there and it was nice and quiet so we could talk easily. Good restaurant at the hotel, would eat there again.“

“Great atmosphere and all the food we had was delicious . Amazing service by Luna and Ivan.“

“Only the best deli in town. They always make you feel like family. Love going to locally owned businesses because they go above and beyond especially this one. Love them all to pieces. 😍“

“Rico y abundante definitivamente muy recomendable“

“Lupessa is an absolute gem—truly one of a kind in Salt Lake City. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the stunning interior design and inviting atmosphere. The service was equally impressive: warm, professional, and genuinely attentive.
Our server, Petro, was an outstanding host. He took the time to walk us through the concept of the restaurant and the menu with such care and enthusiasm that it really elevated our experience. The food itself was nothing short of fantastic—beautifully presented and full of flavor.
We felt welcomed and relaxed throughout our meal, with no pressure to rush. It was a memorable evening from start to finish, and we can't wait to return.“

“The food and the service are TOP DRAWER! Best in Utah!“

“We are big fans of Koyote, especially the vegan Tantan-men and tofu whip, so when this Japanese-Italian fusion restaurant opened we were eager to check it out. Thankfully, there are vegan options on the menu, and they’re quite good. An additional vegan entrée would make the choices even better.

The décor of the restaurant is stunning. The wine selection was pretty good. The service was great as well. Overall, a great addition to Salt Lake City’s dining scene.“

“Best pizza I’ve ever tasted. What more needs to be said?“

“A great spot, really loved their spaghetti and of course the lamb chops were fantastic. And how can I forget the live music.“

“I had a fantastic experience here at the big Apple today! I had there Buffalo chicken pizza so good! The best part they drew a fun surprise of a pentagram with buffalo sauce ! Thank you🤤“

“Great pizza especially for the price in downtown. Huge selection of beverages.“

“Good and service was amazing! Highly recommend being from out of town the bartender treated me like a regular ♥️“

“Thank you for remaking my pizza , it was chicken bacon ranch. It was delicious. And the delivery was fast. Thanks“

“We celebrated our anniversary at Le Beouf, and everything was perfect! The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and made us feel special the entire evening. The food was absolutely amazing, full of flavor and beautifully presented. To top it off, they surprised us with a free dessert for our anniversary, which was such a thoughtful touch. Highly recommend this place for any special occasion or just a great dining experience!“

“Delicious And fresh tasting food.“

“Authentic Italian home family style savory meals. Great service.“

“Perfect dinner for the last night of a trip! Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal and the ladies were friendly and sweet! Close to the SLC airport!“

“pizzería deliciosa buen servicio todo exquisito“

“Very yummy. Very different. My kids eat more than one piece each �“

“We came here for our 11-yr anniversary. For our 10-yr anniversary we did a pizza crawl in Chicago, Detroit, NYC, and New Haven Connecticut. So this year we did a much smaller version to check out pizza more local to us. Compared to the pizzas we tried in NYC, it was pretty good! The slices are huge. I got a pepperoni slice and my husband got a cheese slice and a bacon/green olive slice.
I thought it was pretty great overall, but my husband wished the crust was more crispy, though he liked the sauce.
The staff was friendly, but the music they were playing was pretty awful and the bathroom was gross. Overall great pizza and we’d come again.“
