Osteria Amore came to life because we believe in the power of food to change your day, or in our case, change your life. Owner Eduardo Daja has been working in restaurants since he was a teenager growing up in Italy, and his time in culinary school only strengthened his passion for food. After culinary school, Ed stayed in Bologna to work at a family-owned restaurant. He moved to Utah eight years ago, and found himself missing his first love, food. For the past three years, Ed has been managing an Italian restaurant while also maintaining a career in tech and finally made the life-changing decision to open his own restaurant. That big decision was made possible for Ed when he met Marco Cuttaia, Osteria Amore’s executive chef and partner. Ed’s training in Bologna, considered the food capital of Italy, and Marco’s upbringing in Palermo, known for its incredible street food, bridge northern and southern Italian culinary tradition in a way that’s never been done in Salt Lake City.

    We had reservations at the parlor. The vibe is amazing! The decor is unbelievably fun. Not a lot of food options in that spot so we had some yummy holiday themed cocktails and then went to eat in the sports bar area. Food was really good. I had the chicken and waffles. I love that it was boneless, tender, juicy and cooked perfectly. Lemon pancakes were really good too. Would be 5 star if service were faster, but were patient and they were friendly. We'll be back for sure in Feb for the next theme in the parlor. Probably will come back and rent a simulator room for a party also.

    It was literally one of the best dining experiences of our lives! The service was impeccable, not to mention so perfectly personalized and endearing. Every staff member seemed concerned with every guest and every table. We started off with one of their signature cocktails and the carpaccio. I got the risotto with white truffles and my wife got the zucchini gnocchi. The carpaccio melted in your mouth and my wife loved the gnocchi but the star of the dinner was the risotto and yes I paid over one hundred dollars for Arborio , but it was not only the best risotto I’ve ever had but one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. Five stars for the entire experience.
