Stoneground Italian Kitchen

This is by far the best Italian in Utah we’ve tried so far. Every little bite takes you on a little trip to your own Italy. We got the lasagna which is like having a bite of your grandmothers cooking, hearty and full of cheese and love. Also the lobster squid ink pasta, which was balanced well with a light sauce and delicious thin cut mushrooms. Even though the pizza is an entree we got it as an appetizer and I would recommend this is the way to go. It’s light, fluffy and packed full of flavors. The tiramisu is delicious and a generous serving. DELICIOUS!!

We had such an incredible time celebrating my sisters 22nd birthday here! They were very accommodating to a large group and a baby. We brought our own cake and they kindly stored it in the fridge for us while we ordered and ate our food. The food was incredible but a lot smaller of a potion than I had thought. Still incredible taste, just felt like I had to order a little more to compensate for the amount of food. Which led to a more expensive cost. With a larger group they have an automatic 20% gratuity fee, not a fan of automatic gratuity when I normally tip very well. But our waitress was incredible so it was well deserved. Food tasted authentic and smooth.

Enjoy dinner here! V was an amazing waitress, very attentive and genuine. Wine with Sangria was refreshing. Bread with 3 different dips was delicious, the marinara bomb! I enjoyed the filet and husband enjoyed the fettuccine with spicy sausage. Dessert- GET the donuts!

What a great time we had at Stoneground. We have told so many people to stop by since dining here. The atmosphere is top-notch, and alongside that is the excellent service. The food is high quality and all tastes great. I would recommend the bread service and whatever they have for dessert when you visit. For our entrée, we thoroughly enjoyed the squid ink pasta.

My friends and I were recently visiting SLC and enjoyed a lovely dinner at Stoneground. The restaurant has a beautiful decor and the atmosphere was fantastic! Our drinks and entrees were delicious and our waitress attentive and friendly.

Wow. Who knew you can find top shelf Italian food in Salt Lake City, Utah? The Black Tagliatelle is absolutely amazing. My server tonight (Vi) was charming and very attentive. Thank you for an amazing meal!

Amazing service, atmosphere and food!!! If you love freshly made pasta, this place is for you! Chefs kiss 🤌 Thanks Hannah! 🙂

This place used to have the most amazing lasagna on the planet. It's been a year since I've been back last nights lasagna was a disappointment. It was all just cheese and noodles, no meat at all. It was like I was eating a vegetarian lasagna. The beet salad was good even though focaccia bread was a let down. It used to come out all puffed up and freshly cut at the table. Last night came out flat and precut. When you lose what made you special to begin with, your restaurant becomes like everybody else's.

Great little place to go for fabulous Italian food and excellent service. I especially like their Bolognese. Their pizzas are great and the salads are all wonderful.. recently had the pasta tagatelli with lobster and it was fabulous. I will definitely repeat.

Ever wondered what "Al Dente" meant when taking about noodles? The noodles at Stoneground were perfectly " Al dente". It made me realize my noodles I make at home were mush! Glad I got to enjoy a meal here. They bolognese sauce was perfect. The fettuccine was a perfect balance of spicy and red sauce. The fried olives for an appetizer was perfectly light. It made for a lovely evening and I will now try and cook my noodles better.

Such a great dining experience. It was a recommendation from a friend since I was in town for a work trip. we love a Good recommendation. The portion size is HUGE and perfect for sharing. My sister and I shared the Margherita pizza and the lasagna. They were sooooo good and FRESSSSSSHHHHHHHH!! Cheese just melting. It was sooooo good. Just perfection. The restaurant is beautiful. Rustic. The staff were so kind. They have a patio area as well with mist fans for those hot days. Ample seats and family style seats as well. Great experience and great food.

I did find this place rather interesting. It has a very local hole in the wall vibe but serves excellent pizza with pretty surprising toppings. This place gets packed for dinner so make sure to make a reservation.

Good vibes, great view. Parking is TIGHT and very difficult, but easy to access if you're taking trax. Service was meh. The arancini was delicious although it was disappointing to only receive one! I could have eaten three! Pizza was the biggest disappointment - the bottom was blackened and burnt and took over everything. The toppings were skimpy and I wasn't really able to taste them properly with the crust bitterness. This place used to be so cool and now it's just ... meh.

This place is still delicious. I have no complaints at all; the food is good, customer service is great, and it's a nice, beautiful place for a date.

This was only my second time going to Stoneground and both times the food has been amazing! I love the upstairs atmosphere and it's great for a celebrating a special event. The first time I was there, there was snow falling and it was beautiful to watch it from the upstairs window. The Steve's special looked a little off because of the sauce but it was absolutely delicious and I would highly recommend! The nono gpa was so flavorful! I liked both the gma and gpa. The asparagus is a must for an appetizer. I also love they have such a variety of wines, I don't usually see barbera's when I'm eating out.

My go-to spot when visiting Salt Lake City. Beautiful interior, friendly staff, nice menu, and diverse cocktails. Plus, the TRAX station across the street makes it a convenient spot for meeting U or U students. Great place for a date night, birthday dinner, or just a cozy Italian dinner out.

Ambiance was 10/10 and service was great. Loved the appetizers and donut dessert but the entrees were a little lackluster (gnocchi and ravioli). Definitely wanting to go back for some different entrees because everything else was great!

I was recommended this place by a friend that used to work here. It was a wonderful spot as I walked to the second level. I found a seat at the back bar and ordered a focaccino to munch on as I decided walk to eat. Finally chose the bolognese because I was still walking around and the bartender Tristan said if I got the lasagna I would probably want to take a nap after. So in the interest of staying loose I enjoyed the bolognese. The whole space is great for small gatherings and if you want a hearty good meal this is a wonderful spot to check out.

We love stoneground, the service is fast and the food for the most part is consistent. You absolutely must get the Focaccino if you go, the pesto they serve it with is phenomenal

Stoneground is a beautiful space with beautiful food. It's pretty idyllic for celebrations - birthdays, engagements, etc. The vibe is upscale without feeling stuffy. Our most recent visit was for New Year's Eve. Everything from making a reservation to finding parking was easy and accessible. The vast majority of the food was amazing! The octopus carpaccio is easily one of the best dishes I've had in SLC - the textures and flavors are immaculate! Also, their lobster pappardelle is to die for - richly decadent and perfectly balanced. Their cioppino left a lot to be desired though - the various seafood components were not cooked correctly, so while the mussels and clams were great, both the fish and the crab were disappointingly overcooked. All in all, a great bet for a night out or your special occasion!

Been coming here for about 4 years and have yet to have a bad experience. The black tagliatelle is hard to pass up or whatever arancini is currently on the menu.

We came in for dinner last night and what a treat! Makenna was such a wonderful server and gave us some great recommendations! The space is upstairs (there is an elevator in the entrance on the opposite side of 400 south so it's ada friendly). There were some lovely outdoor spaces that we'd love to check out when it's not snowing! Music was also at the perfect volume so we weren't screaming over each other. Food was excellent! Polenta tots, burrata, and the fresh bread kicked things off. Love that so much of the food (bread, pastas, cheeses) is made fresh in house! We shared 2 pasta dishes, the pork chop, and the scallops. The pork chop and scallops were a tad overcooked which was a bummer considering the prices. Next time we will have to try a pizza or something less expensive but not as easy to overcook. Finished with the gelato trio and doughnuts.

I am generally not a fan of food/restaurants in Utah. Things just don't hit for me when I visit. This place was actually pretty good and I would eat here again. There is a nice parking area in the back so that you don't have to walk too far to get the restaurant. Once inside there is sort of a weird set up where you walk up a few flights to check in. Once we were seated, the atmosphere was pretty nice. I'd even say cozy. I had the bolognese and it was good; definitely a big enough serving and presentation was great. Others in my party had the pizza and a few other pasta dishes. Everything was good. For dessert we had an order of doughnuts and again here, my NY bias is showing. I didn't think they were all that and a bag of chips... maybe just a bag of chips :). Seriously, they were fine and served hot with a raspberry sauce. Service was also good throughout the meal. The restroom does require a code (which I didn't notice at first), but the facilities were decent as well. Overall, not a bad stop and would eat there again.

The noodles were cooked perfectly and the sauce had so much flavor and protein. The polenta tots were a bit too salty and dry. We had to order some marinara on the side to make the dish give what it needed to. Other than that the service was amazing.

It's honestly a shame I can't give 10 stars. Stoneground is probably the best restaurant in SLC. It's a hidden secret you find out through word of mouth, or in my instance. I followed my nose from down the street. And my buddy and myself found ourselves on a rooftop patio with great city scenery with the best chicken parm sandwich I've ever had. And despite its modern yet rustic inner city design and feel, you won't be spending a whole lot more than you would at Olive Garden. I don't know another place that puts as much effort into ambiance and culinary quality. The staff is insanely attentive and friendly. I just hope they can bring back the Chicken Parmigiana. The seafood pastas are also amazing. You will have a hard time eating fast casual Italian after trying Stoneground.

At first I was like what the heck - the location had me like ‍ and then I saw the sign the the restaurant was upstairs It's really beautiful - very rustic yet, is upscale - I wore flip flops and jeans so it's really a wear what you want even though I added upscale. I had the pizza Spinachi. Piled with mushrooms and arugula. You guys! This was delish. I wasn't even hungry and ate two pieces. It has multiple types of cheeses. I would order this again if I went tomorrow! Hubby had bolognese and said it was fantastic. Said it might have too much of a basil flavor for me but he loved it! I believe the pasta is handmade. It looked great. I do not eat red meat so I didn't try it myself Daughter had the Beet Salad and said it was "very good" The picked veggies were yummy We picked this restaurant off of google. It's worth the visit. We come in once a year and will be back Service was great too

The food was mid at best and the prices are pretty insane for the type of food this is. The staff is really nice but I would probably say to try this once and that good enough to not try again. The restaurant was set up nice and I sat "outside" with my party and it was perfect. Had to ask for ice and the water is warm.

We've chosen this place as a dinner for us co workers as an offsite event. The ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful, just very dim lighting but romantic vibes. We started off with the charcuterie boards, mussels in the cream sauce which was absolutely delicious! We also got a couple pizzas as an appetizer which I enjoyed, crust was so soft! Our waiter was there throughout all our dramatic orders. The black ink pasta, as well as the steak was my entree and I enjoyed it so much!

Burrata salad was delicious. Tomatoes were super sweet and juicy. Lots of tomatoes and cheese. Nonno pizza was good, but I unfortunately did not realize it didn't include tomato sauce. The pizza tasted more like cheesey bread than a pizza. However, if you are into cheesey pizzas then this might be for you. Also, I was surprised to see how smoky the inside of the restaurant was. I thought something had caught on fire in the kitchen, but our waiter said this was relatively normal for the restaurant. He had opened the door to promote circulation and by the end of our dinner the restaurant was still quite smoke filled.

The mussels! A must try! A generous portion in a delicious sauce with lots of yummy bread to enjoy the remaining sauce. Got the black pasta with lobster. The noodles were cooked perfectly and there were lots. I didn't get as much lobster as previous reviewers but it was enough. I personally felt the Chardonnay sauce was bland, if it was more flavorful then I would've considered this a perfect dish. My bf got the beet salad and it was beautifully presented. Had the chicken dish as well which he enjoyed. Highly recommend reservations. It's a small space but they make great use of the it. Very inviting and warm atmosphere with a mix of tables and booths. The large windows give you a nice view of the city as this restaurant is on the second floor.

Amazing food. Amazing service! And the vibe is wonderful! We will definitely be coming back!

The lasagna was life-changing. Better than my Italian grandmothers. Love the vibe, the food is outstanding & drinks are incredible.

Fantastic meal. Great service. Fast service. Great ambiance lighting. I got the pork chop which I actually tasted the flavor of. Dry yet moist when you chew on it. The sweet potatoes were incredible. Bok choy was good too. I had slices of my family's pizzas and the dough was like candy. So soft and delicious. Fantastic place that I'd recommend to anyone in Utah.

We have been there three times. The first time I had the lasagna. It was not good. Second time I ordered the Tagliatelle. It was so good should have stayed with that. Last time I ordered the Carbonara. It was okay at best. The Gaunciale was so over cooked, I thought it was a crouton. The bread was very good and the Arancini was good too. Server was very good. We were seated in a small room the last time we were there. Where they pack us in tight. I didn't appreciate that either. The big room is open and has some individual tables. I think that was our last time at Stone Ground. In summary I would say it's hit and miss. Good luck.

First of all, to get there, be on the north side of the street. Take the driveway immediately west of the restaurant to get to parking. Enter the building and go up the stairs. You've arrived at your destination. Very cool vibe, both interior and patio. The most comfortable booths I've ever encountered. Great view of the kitchen and people watching around the restaurant. It smells amazing. The scallop ceviche was good, with light flavors. I wish it had a bit of chile and lime to complement the mango and scallop. The tagliatelle was just perfect. Order this and be happy. That sauce and perfectly al dente pasta! I always order gnocchi when it's made in house. This was divine. Light pillows of deliciousness with a great mouth feel, and a wonderful sauce. If you want bread, you must ask for it. The gluten free chocolate hazelnut torte was amazing. I asked for the recipe. Denied. I'll try to figure that out at home, but certainly will come back again. Service was great, glasses filled, we were checked on even though the restaurant was busy. We're coming back.

My favorite wood fire pizzas in downtown SLC (I've tried settebello, midici (closed now), Tasso (2nd best). The wild mushroom pizza is exquisite! Recently we tried their cheesecake dessert and it was fab, loaded with all kinds of berries! The first time we went here on a Sunday (it's open on Sunday evenings!! Big deal for SLC!!) and they had a pizza buffet! We got to try different slices - tastiest pizza toppings. I tried sweet toppings for the first time and it was good! You get to try experimental toppings which aren't on the daily menu during the pizza buffet. Great service and love the dim lit decor, great for evenings. They have a cute little patio and enough parking in the back.

Stoneground is one of my favorite spots for Italian in SLC. The restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with a cozy interior and an open kitchen that allows guests to watch the chefs at work. Beautiful outdoor patio for spring and summer, a great spot for any occasion. The menu features a variety of classic Italian dishes, including pasta, pizza, and seafood. The pasta is homemade and delicious, and the pizzas are cooked to perfection in the wood-fired oven (that they closed down for a few years back waiting for it to arrive from Italy!) A few of my favorites are the gnocchi, arenchini, tagleatelie, lasagna and any pizza will hit the spot. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any item here! Great service always, very accommodating and they take reservations. They also offer a Sunday special all you can eat type deal where you try many items on the menu, highly recommend!

I love their food and the service is top notch! My favorite lasagna I've ever had in a restaurant. I've had it other places but those places don't cook it in its own dish with the correctly shaped dish. Stoneground does it right and it's all gooey and perfectly caramelized!

Service was on point. Went for a rehearsal dinner and the staff was always there to fill wine glasses, take food orders, and answer questions. The food was decent. My husband had a pizza - crust was perfect. When they say spicy, they mean spicy! I ordered the pork chop - chop was a little dry but the crispy Brussels and potatoes made up for it. Will definitely go again, good space and service.

Update: Stoneground remains one of our favorite restaurants in Utah. Their patio and inside atmosphere are excellent. The service is outstanding. Their new spaghetti alla nerano is one of our favorite pasta dishes anywhere! Stoneground is better than ever.

Food is decent but definitely not worth the price, you're paying more for ambiance. The pasta in this photo was actually really good but previously I had tried the pizza which was average and the lasagna which was not notable. The cake however is heavenly and the staff is so nice

Best Italian food I've had in a long time! And in Utah of all places! The focaccia is also divine. Mocktails are fun too! Not many people have heard of it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

The ambiance was great. Quaint little basement with candlelit dinner theme. As far as service, would've appreciated a little more attention. We didn't get the drink that we ordered until halfway through our meal after asking again. On the other hand, the food came surprisingly fast considering the quality. Had the Bolognese and split a Margarita pizza with my wife who has the black seafood pasta. Everything was excellent. I would even go as far as to say the pasta was some of the best I've had.

Last night before going to the theater, we went to Stoneground for dinner. the ambience is always good. I do enjoy Stoneground's food and I do love lasagna. But I was slightly disappointed because the lasagna just wasn't hot enough. Even though the server said, don't touch the plate it's extremely hot, it was not. The sauce should have been bubbling. It was not in fact the plate was only warm.

Oh my god!!! This place was amazing! I visited from Orange County, Ca and saw this was one of the top rated Italian restaurants in the area of SLC. I made a reservation to celebrate my birthday and boy I loved it. I honestly don't remember the names of the dishes but I hope the pictures attached help. I had a pasta dish paired with a glass of red wine. My partner had a filet mignon with what seemed like scalloped potatoes and the best asparagus I've ever tasted in my life. I wasn't able to get a picture because he gobbled it right up. We also had house bread with different dipping sauces and our server let us try a stuffed potato ball. To end the night our server brought our this magnificent cinnamon donut plus some kind of pudding with a drop of strawberry jam/jelly and vanilla ice cream. The addition of a tiny candle was the cutest gesture. I might be killing the greatness of the dishes by how I describe them but you gotta taste for yourself! I would definitely keep visiting until I try all their dishes. Their menu does change, items I tried might not always be on the menu so make sure to check beforehand. There is indoor seating with booths and tables available. It is a tad bit noisy because everyone in there is chatting it up, but also very clean and elegant with dim lighting. But overall, loved the experience, loved our server, loved the food. Thanks chefs!

Meh.... spendy and loud. The food was ok. I would not go back. Warm water at the table.

I apologize for the dark photos, we sat on the patio and it was dark. While the nostalgia in me misses the casual pizza and pool that this place was about a decade ago, Stoneground is a slc gem that I find is often times overlooked. Their drink menu is carefully picked and the food is delicious. The duck special they had was probably the best duck I've had in SLC, skin was crispy, inside perfectly cooked! Yum! The agnolotti was delicious, and very rich. From the ambiance to the food, it is a great restaurant.

Just left this place and already can't wait to come back! Everything we ordered was extremely tasty. We began our evening at Stoneground by ordering a ton of different appetizers- polenta tots, olives, beets, burrata, focaccia. Our favorites were the burrata and the focaccia, but everything was awesome! For my main meal I ordered the lasagna- a little salty but would order again. Finished my meal with the donut dessert- I'm not a donut person but thought these were fantastic. Very moist and fluffy. The highlight of the dessert was the ice cream. So good! Highly recommend this place!!!

Came here without a reservation on a weekday and they were able to accommodate us in the bar area. We started with the burrata and a charcuterie board (which was huge especially for two people). The burrata was delicious and we would definitely recommend. We got the nonno gpa pizza and a pasta (I can't remember what it was called exactly). My favorite was the pasta--it was so flavorful and the pasta itself was cooked perfectly. We felt like the servings were generous and we ended up going home with plenty of leftovers.

It is WILD to me that Stoneground doesn't have a higher rating than it does. This place is arguably one of the best Italian places in SLC. The corn ravioli dish that we had might have been one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. The pizza was amazing as well. We also had the bread and dipping sauce appetizer that is served table side and that was amazing as well! We had a table outside and could enjoy the views of the city. Our server was very patient and friendly and I couldn't recommend this place enough.

I enjoyed my visit to Stoneground Kitchen. The parking is in the back behind the restaurant. You enter through the back door and walk up a flight of stairs to be seated. The service was decent. I was seated in very cozy area next to the bar. I loved the ambiance of the place - very unique. The food was great. It had an authentic Italian taste. Don't expect Olive Garden or Carabba's flavor. I ordered the Bolognese and dragonfruit cheesecake and I was not disappointed. I will visit again the next time I am in SLC.

Great service, great food. Had the nonno, the smoked cheese gave it a different twist, but in a good way. Wish there was more sausage though. Other than that, great place!

This place hands down is my favorite! Excellent quality food, cocktails, and wine. I would say the only opportunity is the ventilation is not great so it has a tendency to get very smoky inside. The patio is gorgeous.

Restaurant is beautifully decorated for the holidays. Our group of seven sat near the central fireplace. Very cozy. Our group tried many appetizers, including the olives, giardiniera, polenta tots, asparagus and the antipasto board. All were so good. My favorites were the tots and asparagus. The charcuterie board was very good as well, but a little pricey at $25. Another dining companion raved about her burrata salad. The black tagliatelle and Steve's specials were table favorites, as was the steak special. The donuts are so freshly delicious! The tiramisu was good, but not super flavorful. Our waiter was attentive and efficient.

Excellent service and ambiance; the homemade pasta is delicious. Loved the lobster pasta dish.

We've been to Stoneground numerous times and have never been disappointed. Food is wonderful, as is their service. Highly recommend

My boyfriend visited tonight for his birthday and got food poisoning from their chicken pasta.
