Osteria Amore

My wife and I visited Osteria Amore for the first time for our anniversary, and unfortunately the experience fell far below expectations. The restaurant was highly recommended to us by a professionally trained chef, so we expected an elevated evening. Instead, the portions were extremely small, service was slow, and the integrity of our server, Kelsey M., was in serious question. We were never brought a second serving of bread despite requesting it, and the truffle pasta I ordered was particularly disappointing. The server promoted the white truffle pasta with shaved truffles as a special, but she failed to disclose that the truffles were an extra charge. The pasta dish itself was only around $20, yet the 2 oz. of truffle shavings cost $42 on top of that—more than double the base price of the entrée. The portion was also extremely small, approximately 7 oz., and gone in just a few bites. My wife’s entrée was similar in size: her dish consisted of only six raviolis. We also later learned that anniversary guests are offered a complimentary dessert, but this was never mentioned by Kelsey. Instead, we were encouraged to order desserts, which resulted in three desserts on the table unnecessarily. It became clear that the server was upselling and inflating our bill rather than being transparent or thoughtful. For a Wednesday evening reservation at 5:30 PM, the entire dinner still took about 1.5 hours, and we were seated next to a guest with a dog. Given the tiny portions, lack of disclosure, slow pacing, and overall poor service, we left hungry and disappointed. We had expected a pleasant anniversary dinner and instead felt misled and overcharged. This was our first visit, and unfortunately it will be our last. We left feeling taken advantage of rather than taken care of, and we genuinely regret choosing this restaurant for such an important occasion.

The staff was excellent with managing our food allergy requests! The food looked beautiful but was lacking in a few ways. The pesto risotto lacked flavor and the rice grains were still raw and crunchy in the middle. The ribeye was flavorful but we ordered it medium and it arrived as a mix of rare and well done. I would not recommend the food for the price point. It was a nice experience but nothing was exceptional enough to bring me back.

I’m sooo excited to give Osteria Amore 5 stars! This was for an 11:30am lunch reservation for two on a Friday. We were sat immediately, no wait. The beets and burrata opened the show. The beets were prepared lovingly and were tender and earthy. Paired with the creamy burrata and olive oil - perfection. The Margherita pizza was wood fired and delectable. The tomato sauce, cheese, and basil all did their appropriate thing for the palate. The star of the whole show was the pear and Gorgonzola ravioli. The unctuous smoky Gorgonzola coupled with the sweet pear and the creamy dreamy sauce made me think of Naples. The healthy shaving of truffles on top rounded out this rich, delicious experience. We thought we couldn’t do dessert but when the words “creme brûlée” left our servers lips I knew it was a done deal. The brûléed top was a little thin for my taste but the custard was delightful and I had no regrets! I can’t wait to return for dinner.

Our waiter, Tanner, was exceptional. He was attentive, helpful with food allergies, and willing this answer all our questions. The pizza and pastas were delicious. The birthday dessert was amazing!

My husband and I celebrated our 18th year anniversary tonight and enjoyed a fantastic meal, and one of the most beautiful evenings. The food was amazing, the service, (Luana)was absolutely perfect, and the ambiance, busy but quaint. A mere perfect evening. Thank you for helping us celebrate!

The atmosphere is really nice in here, making it great for a date night. But the food was simple and I felt like it was not worth the price as it was a bit expensive. I ordered a burrata pizza and it was just chopped cherry tomatoes and cheese on bread with a vinaigrette - pretty simple and I could have made it at home. I tried a piece of pasta from my friend's plate and it was pretty decent, but also probably not worth 20 something dollars

Adam was phenomenal in making sure our needs were met. The food was delicious, wine list was fun, and the vibes were great. Thanks.

Pasta was wonderful. We loved the bread that came before the meal most :). The salad was great. The pasta dish could be split between two people if you want.

Osteria Amore isn't just a restaurant--it's an experience. Eduardo, the owner, is hands down the friendliest host I've ever met. His warmth sets the tone the moment you arrive, and it's easy to see why the place is always packed. This review isn't to drum up business (they don't need it!)--it's simply my way of saying thank you. The food is real Italian comfort--rich, authentic, and absolutely delicious. And the patio? It felt like my grandma's yard, with that same sense of coziness and heart. I just wish more restaurants in Las Vegas dropped the pretension and leaned into this kind of genuine hospitality. Osteria Amore is proof that the best meals aren't just about food--they're about feeling at home.

I came here with my mother and my wife. We were treated rudely from the moment we entered. Awful front of staff who didn't even say hello and acted like we had inconvenienced her the moment we walked in. Were seated 15 minutes after our reservation time even though we came 5 minutes early. We watched other parties arrive later than us and get seated at better tables. We got shoved into a corner after first being offered the worst table in the restaurant. Then we waited another 10-15 for a server to arrive at our table. When she did arrive, I told her how long we've waited to even get water and she half apologized and promised me she would speak to the manager and insure that our night was made perfect. Server came back and then just tried to push as many appetizers and add ons on us as she possibly could. I laughed because I thought the situation was comical and just told her fine lol. When I asked for the check she excitedly announced to us that she was taking care of our sparkling water for as well as the $5 or whatever chicken add on for the mediocre pasta that she pushed on us 3 different times LOL. Absurd, 0/10 experience. Do NOT eat here. Also definitely don't bring your visiting mother here who you were hoping to have a nice moment with by ordering the entire appetizer menu for as well as the priciest entrees+leave a massive tip to show her that her son had "made it" even though we started with nothing.

We've been to Osteria Amore many times and have always had great experiences in the past, but our last visit was really disappointing from start to finish. We arrived a little early for our reservation and called to see if we could possibly be seated sooner. The young man who answered the phone was short with me and said flatly that our table wouldn't be ready early, it was definitely not the warmest start. At the same time I called the restaurant, my husband stepped inside to use the restroom, while he was there, he asked if our table would be ready early and the young man at the door said, "yes he could see us right away." I found this extremely confusing. When we got inside, the restaurant was packed and extremely loud. My husband is hard of hearing, so we asked if we could sit at a quieter table in the corner. The host told us that table was being made into a six-top and couldn't seat us there. A few minutes later, we watched as another group of four was seated at that same table. That was frustrating and felt a bit dismissive. My husband and I decided to split a Caesar salad to start. Our server kindly offered to have it split in the kitchen, which we appreciated--until we noticed a $4 "split charge" added to our bill later. When the salad came out, someone from the kitchen just dropped the plates off without saying anything. I had to wait about ten minutes to get someone's attention for extra dressing and cracked pepper. For my main course, I ordered the ribeye steak, which came out pre-sliced. Unfortunately, the steak was full of fat and gristle--so much that most of it was inedible. It honestly felt like it had been pre-cut to hide the poor quality of the meat. Between the inattentive service, the extra charges, and the disappointing food, this visit really missed the mark. We've always loved Osteria Amore in the past, but it feels like both the quality and service have gone downhill lately. I truly hope this was just an off night, because it used to be one of our favorite places in Salt Lake City.

Another visit to Osteria Amore last night to celebrate Thursday! Every restaurant has their good days and their bad days. Last night was happily one of the good days. The five of us were seated indoors and our server Adam was spot on with his welcome and presentation of daily specials and offering up good suggestions even for us frequent guests. Ambience is eclectic mix of business casual and casual comfort. I posted the menu below for reference. Appetizers we had were all prepared and served expertly. They included the salmon crudo, beet and buffalo mozzarella, roasted potatoes, and the squash blossoms with ricotta. For entrees we had salmon, sea bream, fillet, lasagna, and the mushroom pasta. All were delicious. For desert the perennial favorite Semi-Fredo, gelato and seasonal sorbet (very refreshing). We brought our own wine as usual, but they do offer a reasonable selection on the house drink list. You should plan a day or two in advance if you plan to go, because they are always jammed. Enjoy!

Osteria Amore is a fantastic Italian restaurant to go to if you are looking for a higher end dining experience to celebrate special occasions or if you want to spend a little bit more on fresh/elevated pasta. While here I tried their bruschetta which was delightful. They use high quality ingredients and their olive oil and cheese smear that were truly remarkable. I also ordered osteria amore which was phenomenal, the notes of pistachio with their thick fresh noodles made the experience truly special and unique. The other pasta I had was the was a new mushroom dish that was also great but I would recommend the osteria amore pasta for a unique experience. The service is also top notch. Overall a fun place to have tasty fresh pasta for a special occasion.

What a wonderful double birthday experience! Out on the patio we dined during a lovely August evening. The food was fresh and yummy. We ordered 3 desserts, and two for the birthday girls! The server even remembered our names as they sang and gave us a free treat. (So yes, 5 desserts!!)

We had a phenomenal experience at osteria amore with our lovely waiter Vincenzo! I loved how authentic and true Italian all the menu options were. A very traditional Italian find for Utah! The service was phenomenal. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff sang to us in Italian and served a yummy dessert with a candle! The ambiance was beautiful and lower lit restaurant is always a great vibe. Definitely check this place out the perfect choice for a date night!

Came here on short notice when the wife wanted Italian while in SLC. Such a cute location just outside the main city. Great patio weather and the patio is pretty well shaded by their own plants and vines, very nice touch. I got the Osteria Amore based on the waiter's recommendation. 10/10. A unique dish with lots of flavor. Wife got the special of some sort of butternut squash pasta and she loved it. Both of our drinks were great and a nice cherry on top was the waiter noticing it was my wife's birthday recently when checking our IDs and bringing a birthday treat out with her name on it, he remembered from the ID. Would recommend to anyone and will be back to try more of the menu!

Wow. I was blown away by Osteria Amore. I accidentally made reservations here thinking it was for Volters Osteria and was disappointed so expectations were low, by my goodness did this place deliver service and flavor in abundance. Parking is tough in this part of town so be forewarned you'll likely need to walk and arrive earlier than expected. The place is spacious with plenty of outdoor seating and a patio area that's perfect for a summer night. It's modern Italian and has a visible gelato bar when you come to the hostess stand. To your right is a bar for those looking to enjoy one of their many house cocktails. A complimentary plate of bread and ricotta cheese is what you're greeted with when you are seated. Warm, fluffy and buttery. A good start. We began the night with the calamari, which interestingly arrived in a paper cone with a lemon half in a meshed net. Perfectly seasoned and fried. A nice flaky breading with a delicate touch of salt that's balanced with the acidity of the lemon and the cocktail sauce. Magnifico. The table ordered the lasagna, New Zealand pistachio crusted pork chops, octopus, and salmon. Each dish was cooked and plated to perfection. The lasagna was tender & not too saucy with a salty cheese that made it come together. The pork chops were out of this world good. Tender, juicy and came with a savory sauce that reminds me of a high end bbq--sounds weird but it's awesome. The pork's chops had perfectly cooked potatoes and roasted garlic. Octopus can be a hit or miss and is often the barometer of quality to measure the chefs. No on wants rubber tough octopus. Osteria Amore delivers a tender, succulent octopus with a potato purée that's simply exquisite. Phenomenal, truly. The salmon is cooked just as well and flavorful. To finish we ordered a couple of espressos and a cannoli. The experience continued with high quality espresso with the espuma you want to see from an Italian restaurant. Notably the cannoli is filled right before serving. If you've had a bad one the past it's likely because it's been filled and sitting for some time, not here. Crunch crust with thick and fluffy cream, perfect with the bitterness of an espresso. What a place, what a wonderful experience. Book a reservation and enjoy a night of fine dining and excellent service.

Came here for my husband's birthday. My parents rave about this place constantly so we knew we had to come. We were seated outside underneath the grape vines. It was very lovely. Once ordered, food was brought out quickly. Everything was so tasty and unique. The Osteria Amore pasta was my favorite- the pistachio crumbs and freshly made pasta were a huge hit. The pizza (the Casa) was good- my only complaint was they added green onions. Added a funky flavor for me. Was laughing at the amount of Burrata I consumed this evening. Seems like every dish was served with burrata- not complaining though! Will be back!!!

This is probably the best meal I've had since moving to Utah 7 months ago. The Gnocchi alla Sorrentina was like having pasta and pizza in one and was SO good (reminiscent of pizza pot pie at Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder which is my fave from back home). The papperdelle was a bit dry but still very good. I appreciate that the vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free menu items are labeled as it's been difficult to find vegetarian friendly restaurants in SLC. Dessert was also great & we went with the server's suggestion which was some kind of pistachio cheesecake/ice cream thing. The staff was kind and the ambience is very cool.

What a wonderful spot! The food is magnificent. Service: Our server Josh was very sweet and polite with a great knowledge of the menu. Thank you, Josh! It made a great impression of the restaurant. Hostess on the other hand could be more welcoming. Food: Definitely the best pizza i tried in the States. I love it. We tried Casa and it was soooo good. High quality ingredients. Truffle pasta - very very good. I tried truffle pasta in other italian spots in USA, and most of them mess it up by adding too much butter or oil/using low quality truffle, which results in pasta being too greasy. Well, this didnt happen here!!! Truffle was top-notch and it was at a fair price point. Pollo Cotto e Fontina (chicken) - my husband ordered it and he was very happy about it. It was such a great idea to add acidic sauce to it as it truly pushes all the flavors of the chicken to the next level. Amazing. Really worth those 36 bucks , do not skip it. Try it. Octopus - delicious and crunchy and very well paired with the sauce it was served with. Tiniest bit overcooked on the end of the tentacles, but i get it, as it is very easy to overcook it. Dessert - it was a pistachio dessert, I do not remember the name, as it was that days exclusive. I loved it. It is not artificial pistachio and has natural taste. Very good. Overall, 10/10

One of the best Neapolitan-style pizzas I've eaten in a long time! The first thing that stood out walking into Osteria Amore was its beautifully decorated interior - one side of the restaurant is essentially an above-ground wine cellar. We came in around noon and were offered both the lunch and dinner menu, ultimately opting for a pizza and pasta. Based on reviews, the most popular pizza seemed to be the Casa which is a red sauce pie that comes with a stuffed ricotta crust (not actually stuffed like I was expecting, more like ~infused with the essence of ricotta~). I was super impressed with the authentic floppy and pillowy texture of the crust and flavorful San Marzano tomato sauce. The namesake pasta was also deliciously creamy. There is no physical dessert menu but the waiter verbally listed several classic options including tiramisu, panna cotta, crème brulee, semifredo, profiteroles and gelato. Despite being completely stuffed, I simply couldn't pass up one of my favorite desserts, the panna cotta, which was artfully presented on a plate that included surrounding pistachio and cocoa powder garnish. The mixed berry topping was just the right amount of tart and tasted very true to fruit. Service was friendly and relatively efficient- the only thing I would change is that all of our dishes seemed to come out at the same time, making it difficult to fit everything on our small table and I would have appreciated a little more thoughtful spacing out. But other than that, highly recommend checking out this authentic Italian gem for an elevated casual meal while you're in town- no reservations needed.

Heading to the U game vs tds and was able to acquire reservations for our party before the game. I'd suggest getting your reservations more than a week early on game night as it's only a couple blocks away. We had a party of 7 and were seated promptly with our reservation. Our server was amazing, wish I'd grabbed his name. He even took a picture of our party, and himself, for us. We ordered the following; Beet and Buffalo salad, very good. The server suggested the lasagna, which I thought was just okay. 3/5 Osteria Amore, this is my go to here and it never disappoints. 5/5 We also tried a dessert special, don't remember the name, but it was a dark chocolate fudge ball with a sauce and fruit, very rich, and very good. 4/5 Got us out on time for us to head to the game. Great evening!

Such a lovely experience here! Both the service and the food were memorable. Our group tried many dishes, but the standouts for me were the bruschetta and semifredo dessert (the semifredo tasted like a wedding cake and pistachio soft ice cream). They have a great patio with lots of shade from trees that made for a great ambiance. Would definitely return to Osteria Amore!

Wow, the food here is amazing and delicious! I'm still thinking about it. I've tried their pizza, pastas, steaks, lamb chops, appetizers, and seafood, which all do not disappoint. One of my fav cocktails is an expresso martini, which is made perfectly here. The right balance of dark, velvety sweetness with the coffee beans and little design on top to finish it off. Yums! Staffs are attentive; and are all very nice. The bartender is so fun! Love his energy, too! Owner is super cool and nice! There is street parking, so reminder to give yourself some time to find one. I can't wait to come back again when it gets warmer, so I can dine outdoor and try their other entrees.

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Service was good, but there were periods of waiting a long time. We ordered the pizza, and it was good. The dough could have been a little thinner in the middle and the sauce needed a little more time to cook down (too thick). However, all in all, it was a good "Sicilian"pizza.

Oh my goodness you know that feeling when you're invited to a birthday dinner and you're really picky?!! Well this place was DELICIOUS!! From appetizers to desserts! Best Italian food I've had in a LONG while! Service was excellent A++ The restaurant is quaint and full of conversation along with a tiny bar and an outside patio. Parking can be difficult but it's worth it! For larger parties they offer FAMILY STYLE MEALS, so we were able to try a mirage of dishes and WOW!! it was a tasteful experience! Thank you PS you need a reservation

This place is amazing! The place itself is so pretty, and the customer service is great. The food was so good I was speechless; the octopus was so delicious and crispy. Osteria Amore pasta was so delicious, especially with the burrata cheese; it was amazing. I definitely will come to try more from the menu.

Picture it: you're walking into a restaurant that you've never been to before, about to have dinner with five people you've never met. That was my experience this past week as I was having dinner with strangers through TimeLeft. (If you've never heard of that, check it out. This review is about the restaurant, so I'll move on.) The space is incredibly intimate-low lighting, tables are cozy and packed in, but not uncomfortably so. There's a modest bar area with ample drinks where you can enjoy a cocktail before sitting down to dinner, which is what our group did. The staff are all attentive and friendly-even the bartender was engaging while he was actively making our drinks. We were seated outside and it was everything that you love about dining al fresco-perfect weather (not that they can control that, but it was!), romantic string lighting with a backdrop of creeping ivy above and around us. Picturesque, for sure! The most impressive part of the night was our server Vincenzo. He made it a point to memorize everyone's names-all six of us. When he brought our orders out, he sat them down and called us by name. When he returned to check on things, name dropping again. Bill time? You guessed it, he used our names as he confirmed what everyone ordered. We requested separate checks, which I know is obnoxious, and he handled it with professionalism and grace. The food was also outstanding-I enjoyed the fish special, which Vincenzo deboned tableside while having casual conversation with the group. He made our event spectacular. Dessert was nice-I tried the chocolate and cherry gelato flavors. It was subdued and not too sweet. I had almost turned around and went home when I had a hard time finding a parking spot (that's the one real downside to this location), but I'm so glad I hoofed it a few blocks and made it to my reservation. This is one that I won't soon forget.

In town for work and my SIL took me here for dinner. She said her and my BIL had been here for dinner once on a date night and she's been wanting to return. She made a reservation so we didn't have any wait on a Saturday night which was nice. Our waiter, Hostess and the bus boys were all very friendly and attentive. They had some specials off the menu and with their double-sided menu it was definitely a hard Choice as there were so many delicious sounding options. They also have a wine and cocktail menu separate with some great choices. I started off with a Santo Hugo because I like sweet drinks. This had Prosecco St Germain elderflower and some fruity syrups and was not overly sweet and it was a generous pour. For dinner I went with the Osteria Amore pasta dish, which is labeled as one of the fan favorites and I can see why, as well as a side of sauteed asparagus. I would definitely get this pasta again and the asparagus was perfectly cooked & seasoned with only two of the Spears having a stringy bottom stalk that I had to cut off. For dessert I got the panna cotta which is topped with berries and a slightly tart berry puree. This is my absolute favorite dessert and so many restaurants do not serve it. So even though I was full from my dinner I could not pass up the chance to have it and we shared it at the table and everybody loved it. The prices are fair for the quality and portions. I would definitely return on my next trip here.

There are so many good things going on at this restaurant. The highlight was the squash flowers filled with fresh ricotta. The special of crab, scallops and fresh pappardelle pasta with fresh baby tomato sauce was so tasty. The pasta in this dish was a little too al denté. The gnocchi was difficult to taste because it was literally swimming in a breadbowl full of pasta sauce. Not the best dish for gnocchi, unless you like a bowl of marinara sauce with some pasta. The staff were outstanding - knowledgeable and helpful. Overall, it was a nice place for a dinner date.

The food and service was absolutely fantastic. The ambience was amazing and all the weight staff was so kind. Food was quick and the whole atmosphere was fantastic. Thank you Adam for such a great night!

Came here with a bigger group. We made a reservation in advance because we were a group of 7. This was my first time coming here and wasn't not sure what to expect. The restaurant is on the smaller side so if you have a larger group than 7 then this may not be the place for you. I ordered the Regina pizza which was just cheese and basil and it was delicious. I also had a pistachio gelato which was ok. I wasn't the biggest fan of it. But the pizza made up for it. I did try the capreese salad and it was pretty good. The service was great! The prices were okay. A bit in the high side. But I would come back for the pizza!!

The food and desserts were excellent. Parking was a bit weird. Service was great. Knew the menu and the specials. I had a special I can't pronounce. I was a bit loud. But not real bad. They sang happy birthday in italian. Totally awesome.

This place is so yummy! My boyfriend and I came for dinner and we left feeling very satisfied. They have a pretty large menu so as long as you don't have a gluten and dairy intolerance, you should be able to find many options. The restaurant ambiance is very date night friendly and the service was solid. There really isn't anything bad to be said, and I think the price was fine. It was a little tricky to find parking and so we had to walk quite a long way after parking on the street a block and a half away. The two of us both got pasta dishes and were both happy with our food, and our starter bruschetta was also delish. We will definitely be back!

This place gets extremely busy, so book a reservation! Even then expect a delay, BUT it's worth it!! There is a lot of searing inside and outside! They have a full bar, but the seating isn't comfortable there because the bar stools are ick & the doorway was crowded. Our server was so nice, I'd go so far as to say sweet guy. He did everything, delivered our food, picked up dishes & refilled my soda even! Overall a great place for a special occasion or if you are looking for an authentic Italian meal!!! Plenty of Street parking! Very clean restrooms.

Oh my gwwwaaaayyydd. This is our new favorite spot! We came here for Valentines and everything was perfect. For Appetizers we had beef carpaccio and polpo. Both amazing. The octopus was one of the best I've ever had. For mains we both had pastas. My husband had Osteria Amore and I had the special of the night - tomato based seafood pasta. Again, perfection. There's something special about fresh handmade pastas. By the end of the night we were stuffed to the neck but still ordered a crème brûlée to end the night. Best food nights ever. Coming back every valentines!

Another excellent dining experience at this small setting near the University. A couple of wonderful seafood specials tonight...including a pasta-based and a Chilean sea bass. Both very good, as was their Zuppa de Mare...a generous seafood helping in a delicious saucy soup served in a bowl crafted from pizza crust. Service is always friendly and efficient, and principal Vincenzo keeps it all flowing. Reservations highly recommended.

We're starting to realize that Salt Lake City is criminally underrated for food and drink. Tonight's pleasant surprise was Osteria Amore. And it was insanely good. Most flavorful pizza (the Etna) in forever. Best cacio e pepe we've ever had. Gelato so creamy my eyes rolled back. Tiramisu so perfect my wife brought one home for tomorrow's breakfast. A charming, helpful, friendly, attentive server (Luana) that elevated every bit of the experience. We love this place.

Incredibly rude service at the bar. Bartender (Javier) was beyond dismissive. Left after five minutes. Sad as we were visiting from Los Angeles after our son's orientation for the U and was hoping to celebrate. Would not recommend.

We went to Osteria Amore today to celebrate my birthday. We were blown away by the ambience, service, and food. I've been to Caffe Molise, Per Noi, Sicilia Mia, Bartolos, and Italian Graffiti, and this is my favorite Italian food so far. We had a reservation at 6 p.m. and were seated immediately. Complimentary bread and ricotta was swiftly delivered, and oh boy was I on board. We enjoyed two cocktails each with our meal--each artfully crafted, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. For appetizers, we had the Arancine Siciliane and Cesare, which were both beautifully presented and full of flavor. For our entrees, I had the Osteria Amore and my husband had the Tagliata di Angus (ribeye steak). The gorgonzola sauce to dip the steak was divine, and the all the pasta is made in house. The flavors were complex and had depth. They did bring out a free birthday dessert, but I honestly don't like pastries, so my husband happily scarfed it down. That would be my only nit pick of the experience. Our server, Ed, did an amazing job--being super attentive to our table on a busy night. The restaurant was packed full of people, and service was smooth and well paced. Parking in the area can be difficult, but we easily found a space around 5:45 p.m. It's a bit pricey, coming in around $240 for the two of us with the tip, but worth it for a special occasion like a birthday. I can't wait to get back to this place to try more.

Best meal. Best Italian food. Best service in SLC. Every dish was exactly what I wanted it to be. We chose a variety of dishes from Caesar salad to caccio pepe to steak and every bite was perfection. Although the pizza took the show! If you're considering pizza, consider no longer, start your meal with a shared pizza. All of them are delicious but the meat ball one will knock your socks off. The server pointed us in the right direction on every dish too. He was patient with our selection process and offered slight adjustments to meet our needs. The ambiance is calm, wonderfully lit and despite being full of people somehow felt quiet and intimate. Get a reservation to make sure you get in! The parking is a little tricky, street parking only, but don't let that deter you.

Always magnificent! I haven't had anything sub par! Amazing knowledgeable staff! I always leave giving my waiter a chefs kiss! Phenomenal!

This is A real Italian restaurant in Salt Lake. Our waitress was from Italy and he spoke to us in Italian. Arlex was amazing and the food was very good! The prices were fair. Ambience is nice but I prefer outdoor seating. They are a little slow on the service but they don't rush you to leave the restaurant similar to what they do in Europe. They gave us a complimentary appetizer, a pizza like a focaccia because we had a reservation and they were half an hour behind on seating. I would definitely return soon. And do not keep dessert .that was the best!!!!

Excellent service and great food. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in salt lake, new favorite spot for sure.

Our 2nd visit was just as good as the 1st! We got the Casa pizza again for our appetizer and loved every bite. For entrees we got the Osteria Amore dish again and decided to try the Sapori di Mare which was loaded with seafood and very good. I normally don't like tomato pasta dishes but the tomato sauce was light and flavorful. Their pasta is very obviously home made. We got the semifreddo for dessert again and loved it. Our service was also outstanding. I think I can now officially say that this is our favorite Italian restaurant in SLC.

Food was amazing as always. Service was okay. Our waiter seemed to not care too much about us. Drinks were so good too. Love the whole place. Good vibes and yummy the new Sicilliana is so YUMMY. We also loved the bruschetta appetizer.

After searching 2-3 blocks for a parking space, we finally got to the restaurant where we experienced DMV-level service (only nastier). Servers need to grasp the idea that they work in a service industry.

We lucked out and got a table for two without a reservation, but next time I'd definitely make one and ask to sit on their patio. It's lovely! Inside was a great vibe too though. Very cool spot. I had their paper plane cocktail which was made to perfection! We tried a few pasta dishes that were all incredible! Would most definitely return!!

Great food and pleasant staff. Accommodated my party without a reservation as we made a last minute change to where we went for lunch. Only drawback was the wait for the food. Wasn't super long but noticeably longer than other restaurants.

This restaurant is divine! From the moment we entered to the time we were finished, we had an idyllic experience. The staff is always welcoming and kind, proficient and professional while being so warm and caring. The ambiance is upscale and hospitable. The food - honestly we were speechless. Each bite was a symphony. I know it sounds over the top, but it is hard to convey how phenomenal everything tasted. From the excellent wine selection, to the perfect beet & bufalo insalate (with dots of raspberry), to the pear & Gorgonzola ravioli with truffle, to the filet mignon with a cream sauce so expertly crafted that you'll never want filet another way, to the stunning semifreddo, the entire evening was a sheer pleasure. We give it our highest recommendation. Thank you for the loveliest night.

Came here for the quads celebration. What a stunning little restaurant. Had a reservation at 8 pm and was promptly seated. The kids all ordered Mocktails that the bartender whipped up. I recall it having lemon, and hibiscus flowers. Not much else. Our server Abby was delightful and was really good with the kids not knowing Italian to order. The gnocchi was good, tad sticky, I had the tartaglia with crab, muddled and rock lobster. Devine. One child state the Mediterranean salad was the best they have ever had. For dessert they all had the gelato, one had creme brulee, however the crust was a little lacking. Not much to take any points off however. The affogato I ordered rounded out the evening perfectly! Overall an amazing fun experience

Had the best time at Osteria amore this weekend. The restaurant was very accommodating to our group and sat us in a great cozy location. The food is creative, different, and made very well! I was impressed with my time here and hope to be back.

My drink, and pasta was delicious! knocked a star, as me and my mom were half way done eating by the time my sisters meal came out, such poor food timing that my mom asked for a Togo box when the waiter brought out my sisters meal. Not overly attentive staff, but the restaurant itself was Cute!

Had a wonderful dinner! Reservations for 4:30pm and was seated at 4:35pm. Was VERY IMPRESSED with the beautiful interior. Pride of ownership just jumps out at you with all the little details inside. Server was very friendly and engaging. Our table of 4 ordered a ton of food and they brought out dish after dish and spaced things out nicely so we could enjoy each part of our meal while having a nice conversation. Basket of fresh baked bread was an amazing free starter and was quickly devoured. A meet and cheese plate was next. Then the Arancini balls came out next (this was my least favorite item). Someone ordered the seafood soup (zuppa di mare). It was SOO CUTE, came in a bread bowl of bread they baked. Had a ton of high quality seafood in it and a soup broth that really brought the various seafoods together. Two people ordered pizza and they were good, but you really need to come here for the HOMEMADE pasta! I had the osteria amore and it was the best dish. The pasta had a yummy white sauce, cheese, and was garnished with pistachios. What a wonderful meal!

Some of the best Italian food I've ever had. My wife and I have gone here 2 different times for anniversaries and it's always a great time.

The homemade pasta is amazing and the combined marinara/pesto sauce is pure heaven! The hospitality top notch.

Amazing customer service! Beautiful vibes inside and ambience. To top it off food was just absolutely delicious! I love that outdoor dining option, large variety, alcohol, wine menu.
