    The service started off a little slow but he made up by giving us yummy chocolate cake! The food was so good! I had gnocchi and they melted in my mouth. My husband had the lasagna and said it was one of the best he has had!

    A pleasant meal and nice staff. Food was good to very good. Holiday season is always busy and therefore noisy as was this evening. Big tables with 8 plus added to that. I’d certainly go back. The lasagna was ++ as was the scallops with pasta.

    Hands down, the best Italian food in SLC. Every dish is made with care, and it's fairly affordable, around $29 a plate not counting drinks. Decent wine and cocktail menu, and wonderful desserts.

    This place was amazing. Hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. Steak was amazing. Salad and appetizers were perfect. And the dessert was phenomenal. Service was on point. Can’t say enough great things about this place.
