46 Best Italian Restaurants in Salt Lake City

“we ate everything. it all wonderful“

“Quickly becoming our favorite restaurant in SLC! From the warm welcome at the door to the outstanding service from Joel and Brenda, every visit feels special. The dishes are consistently incredible—thoughtful, flavorful, and made with real care. Matteo has officially stolen my food-loving heart, and we can't wait to come back again and again.“

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

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

“Amazing service friendly and helpful. We made a reservation and had zero wait time when we arrived on time and the table was ready. Food was amazing the cheese bread and lasagna were our favorites. It was romantic and warm vibe for a busy night.“

“We went here for Saturday brunch and there wasn’t a wait at all! Super cute atmosphere and fun menu choices, and the french toast was phenomenal. Only negative for us - the sausage patty on the breakfast sandwich was essentially an enormous Italian meatball in a not-super-positive way. Dinner menu looks lovely too and we’ll be excited to try it one day soon!“

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

“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!!“

“I love their cupcakes and I am not a cupcake lover, their cheesecake is so good too. The staff was super kind to take extra time to find desserts I could eat with food intolerances. They said they make everything fresh here. Their chai pudding is very yummy tasting as well. I was not a big fan of the lemon tart, felt very sour and strong but I tend to eat more light flavors for lemon desserts. Felt a little funny having things rung up where I couldn’t easily see or tap to pay. Also a bit bummed out that their desserts can’t be ordered online for delivery as it’s a bit of a drive and def craving their desserts as they are so good. Even the store next door loves them. Happy to have found this place on my way to buying things next door.“

“This was beyond amazing food and service.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Stopped in with a friend for soup and salad. The server, Ian, was so wonderful. He was the perfect combo of helpful and giving us the space we needed to catch up. On top of it all, when looking for hot chocolate (which they don’t have), he offered to make me some by warming up chocolate milk. What a stellar guy. Would highly recommend.“

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

“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 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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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. 😍“

“It felt like we weren’t in SLC. I love the atmosphere and the old building was such a pleasant experience. The staff and owner were warm and welcoming and very on point in jokes and service. The food was good wish there was a meatball sub because I swear those meatballs were brought straight down from heaven. I had the spaghetti with meatballs and the sauce was rich and incredibly flavorful, just the perfect amount for the price as well. My fiancé had the tortellini with chicken and it had all the flavors you’d expect except for the sauce which was a garlic cream with some marinara so decadent. My only complaint is the bruschetta which could have used a bit more basil and balsamic Demi glaze, but everything else was above expectations.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

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

“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🤤“

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

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

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

“Delicious And fresh tasting food.“

“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!“

“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!“

“pizzería deliciosa buen servicio todo exquisito“

“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.“

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

“I enjoyed my e meat pizza and the staff was excellent and patient. I got my food hot and ready. I always go there after a long day at work.“

“I can't speak for the other locations but in fashion place Mall I don't understand where all the hate comes from. Whether it's just a slice they reheat up or a whole new pie it's always delicious they're always friendly and their meatballs are excellent.“

“Great food great place great employees low score is for the unfortunate fact that a crowd of homeless post up in the area and pizza hut is right next to a spot homeless folk hand out at... And at some i feel bag for o ordering food out when i see people with no homes and dirty and possibly hungry.“

“This location is close to my work so we frequently get pizza from here during special events. We place fairly large orders and have no issues. The service from the staff is very helpful and polite.

The food is what you expect from Little Caesars. No issues.

For atmosphere, it’s not the best part of town and there’s often people hanging around outside but I’ve never felt unsafe.“
