"Valter’s Osteria is one of Salt Lake City’s best upscale restaurants. Pasta is the star of the Italian menu, and the best way to try it all is the sampler. It includes taster portions of the ravioli in a four-cheese cream sauce and their pillowy mushroom gnocchi. But don’t miss whatever they’re whipping up tableside: a two-person caesar salad or maybe lemon gelato bathed in honey and sea salt. Every meal ends with complimentary hot chocolate and biscotti, which will give you some non-alcoholic liquid courage before trudging through the snow to your car." - jenny willden
