The 29 Best Restaurants in Salt Lake City, Utah
"You’ll feel like you’ve stepped right into picturesque Tuscany at this rustic Italian restaurant, where tables are adorned with classic white tablecloths and servers are dressed sharply. Named after late owner and chef Valter Nassi, who passed away in 2022, the place serves many dishes inspired by his mother’s cooking, such as rigatoni al sugo della mamma and pasta al forno vera (house-made lasagna). You can also order the nana in porchetta Savinese, a dish that represents a typical Sunday dinner, featuring fennel-crusted duck breast in a cognac and grape sauce. Though the absence of chef Nassi’s larger-than-life personality is felt by all who knew him, his warm spirit and dedication to hospitality remain woven into every dining experience, making each meal a heartfelt celebration of Italian tradition." - Sarah Entwistle
