In the heart of the city's downtown, Valter's Osteria beguiles gourmands with classic Italian fare in a whimsical setting. A loft-like main dining area welcomes guests, even as the white tablecloth tables create an elegant atmosphere. Italian-born Valter Nassi may be new to Salt Lake City, but easily wins over his diners' hearts with a warm 'Buonasera' salute. Nassi has personally curated the restaurant's expansive menu, which features standards as well as some creative takes of Tuscan cuisine. The bill of fare changes seasonally, but its always a good idea to start your meal with the legendary bruschetta. There's no dearth of those zesty sauces and pastas. Conclude an exceptional dining experience with its decadent hot chocolate served with mellow biscotti.
Former Utah Jazz star, Mark Eaton, owns this restaurant and has become a favorite of locals and tourists alike, serving Northern Italian cuisine in a casual but elegant atmosphere. The restaurant is housed in a converted mill on lovely, secluded grounds. Sunday brunch is a fixed price buffet, perfect for families or a special date. The wine list is extensive and the food delicious. Save room for one of the rich desserts.
Highly acclaimed as one of the top restaurants in the area for fine French food, memorable dining experience and helpful staff, Franck's is an experience of a lifetime. The dishes are carefully prepared by Chef Franck Peissel who is equally well known for his skills. The menu incorporates an interesting range of delicacies like Sous Vide Wagyu Sirloin, Herb Scented Southern Fried Chicken, Franck's Meatloaf and Three Cheese Fondue. The wine list comprises an excellent selection of reds and whites that accentuate the menu. Revel in the classy ambience of the venue and allow yourself to be pampered by the wait-staff. Remember, however, to book the tables in advance.
