“Simply the best Salt Lake City has to offer in dining. What an experience!“

“We had a wonderful experience at Matteo this evening. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Our waiter, John, was amazing. We were four adults and two young children. He made us feel comfortable and he understood what was needed to make the meal enjoyable for both the adults and the kids.

Start with the Antipasto Italiano. The presentation is beautiful and the meats and cheeses are of the highest quality.

As for the entrees, all were delicious, except one. The cioppino and the lobster bisque pasta are great choices if you are a big seafood fan. It’s the spicy sausage pasta that fell short. It was not warm when it arrived at the table and it was bland, not spicy. I told John that I wasn’t happy with the pasta. He asked if I could describe the problem so he could tell the chef and he helped me choose a different dish - the lasagna which was rich and creamy and full of flavor.

Finish with the tiramisu. It’s unusual with espresso brownie bits instead of lady fingers and it is the perfect ending to a fabulous dinner.“

“best Italian restaurant in the US“

“We loved Stoneground! We were recommend by friends who live here as we are on a work trip and we couldn’t be happier. The hostess was very sweet and helpful and ..... Joel at the bar was awesome! He was killing the drinks coming in to the bar while also conversating and taking orders and great care of us. We had a great time and will definitely be back.

PS: Read the sign on the door. We thought they were closed/ vacant. But looks can be deceiving. Go to the right and upstairs.“

“Such a lovely place! Everything was clean, welcoming, and had a really nice atmosphere. The service was warm, friendly, and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish and truly enjoyed our time here. We’ll definitely be back! ❤“

“Great service and great great food and drinks. Loved it.“

“We’ve been for lunch and finally came and checked them out for dinner and it was delicious. Casual but top notch service and food. The branzino and lasagna were stand outs. Chef came out and gave the kids gelato which was also delicious. Would absolutely recommend a stop in for lunch or dinner.“

“Absolutely amazing experience! All of the food was exceptional and the service was beyond any I've ever received before! Perfect place for a fancy date or celebration. Highly recommend! Thank you Alexis and team for taking such good care of us!!!“

“Best pasta I’ve had in Utah.“

“I love this place - great food, and just amazing people. They are the best!“

“It has been over 15 years since I had visited this establishmen. My wife and I stopped in for dinner tonight and the service was simply amazing (thank you Amy), the food was outstanding and we had the opportunity to visit at the end of our meal, with Jim the General Manager. Every aspect of our experience was really great. We’re thinking of going back again tomorrow. We go out at least once a week for dinner and try different places. This was the best yet!“

“Phenomenal food, thanks to chef Kennedy, a superb up and up coming chef in SLC, and exceptional service and drinks thanks to Lorne, the warm and welcoming bar manager that introduced us to this hidden gem. Yall knocked it out of the park for our engagement date night with the red snapper and Cornish hen. Still drooling thinking about the food!“

“Marlen does a wonderful job every morning! Whenever I arrive, she always has the breakfast area ready and everything looking great. She is hardworking, friendly, and always makes sure everything is taken care of. I tried one of the waffles, and it was delicious! Thank you, Marlen, for all your hard work and for helping make the mornings a great experience. ❤“

“This location is always great. Even if its super busy, a little hack to skip the line is usually to just go sit at the bar, where the drinks are also reasonably priced. The never ending breaksticks soup and salad is a meal on its own. Fresh tasting seafood and steak in their dishes which I wouldnt have expected.“

“Love the atmosphere. Great staff and delicious food.“

“INCREDIBLE food and great quality EVERY time. Everything is handmade from scratch. Pizza and Pasta are killer and highly recommended.“

“Great atmosphere and all the food we had was delicious . Amazing service by Luna and Ivan.“

“I think this is the best pizza I've ever eaten. I don't normally even care for deep dish style pizzas, but I absolutely love The Slice House's thick stuff. Nothing but the best ingredients and they really do respect the craft. Fan for life.“

“fantastic food and staff!“

“We were basically the only people in the restaurant at 7pm on a Wednesday, which worried us, but the food was great! The pizza was a good mix of flavors and the bread bites were rich and flavorful. Service was a little slow given they weren't busy, but I was happy we ate here.“

“Excellent service and food. Highly recommend this place if you haven't been to any of their locations.“

“Never in my life have my tastebuds and heart been so happy! Not only is the food delicious, but the service is just incredible! The manager Kira runs this place so well and makes sure her customers are happy at all times. The servers, host, and other staff are so friendly and welcoming and made me feel very taken care of. I was very sad before I came in but now my belly and my soul are full of happiness! 10/10 recommend this place! If you are looking for a yummy meal and a great environment, Tuccis is your place! I will be coming back :)“

“The food and the service are TOP DRAWER! Best in Utah!“

“We ate here during our vacay & although it was pricey, the service & food felt fancy. My only suggestion is to turn down the lights. It was super clean & in a neighborhood that looked like it was being re-vamped. I hope their "temporary closure" is very temporary. Locals need to try it out for a date night! (We had the mac & cheese, shepherds pie & homemade noodles with portabello) My son still talks about the Mac & cheese!“

“Best pizza I’ve ever tasted. What more needs to be said?“

“After a few visits, I believe that Junah is one of the best restaurants in Utah. The food is outstanding and creative. The glazed Maitake is one of the best things I’ve eaten. The front of the house is equally impressive and we have been impressed their service every visit. We hope they are around for many more years to come. Thank you to everyone at Junah!“

“Thank you for remaking my pizza , it was chicken bacon ranch. It was delicious. And the delivery was fast. Thanks“

“5 stars - OUTSTANDING!

My wife, our youngest grandson and I came to Salt Lake City for Comic Con and left with two phenomenal experiences: the con itself, and Burattino Brick Oven Pizza. This is hands-down the best pizza we have ever had. Honestly, it’s even better than the California original, and that is saying something.

We came in with high expectations because we already loved the California location. Salt Lake City didn’t just meet those expectations - it raised the bar. The same passion for authentic brick oven pizza is here, but the execution, the service and the overall experience took it to another level.

From the moment we walked in, we knew we had found something special. The aroma from the brick oven hits you at the door, and the atmosphere is relaxed, warm and family-friendly. After long, crowded days on the convention floor, it was exactly the kind of place the three of us needed to sit down, recharge and enjoy a great meal together.

The food was outstanding from the first bite to the last. The taste is ON POINT 100%. Every pie came out of that brick oven perfectly cooked, with a crust that’s crisp and lightly charred on the outside, light and chewy inside, and full of flavor all the way to the edge. The sauce is bright and balanced, the cheese is rich, and the toppings are fresh, high quality and generous. It was a hit with all three of us, from Grandma and Grandpa right down to our grandson. Nothing was rushed and nothing was off - just consistently excellent food.

What truly sets Burattino apart is the team. Pierre (Owner), Kayley (Manager), Damian, Andrew, Jose, Brian and Sal were absolutely professional from start to finish. They greeted us warmly, answered our questions, checked in at just the right times, and kept everything moving with prompt, friendly service even on a packed convention weekend. They made our grandson feel just as welcome as the grown-ups, which meant a lot to us.

Pierre has clearly built something special here. You can see his standards in every detail, from the food to the service to the way the team works together. Kayley runs a tight, smooth operation while keeping the vibe welcoming, and Damian, Andrew, Jose, Brian and Sal each made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table. That kind of teamwork comes from great leadership and people who genuinely care.

The restaurant was spotless. The dining area, tables and counters were clean and well kept, and everything was organized and in its place. On one of the busiest weekends of the year, that really stood out.

Burattino ended up being one of the highlights of our entire Comic Con trip. My wife, our grandson and I left Salt Lake City filled with memories of both the con and this phenomenal food experience, and we have been talking about the pizza ever since.

If you’re visiting Salt Lake City for a convention, a game or a show, or if you’re lucky enough to live nearby, do yourself a favor and make Burattino a stop. Bring the whole family and bring your appetite. You will not be disappointed.

THANK YOU, Pierre and the whole Burattino Brick Oven Pizza team, for the outstanding food, the professional service and the welcoming environment. You made our family’s visit one to remember. We will absolutely be back - Burattino is officially our new staple in Salt Lake City!“

“This is a cute brunch spot. We tried the Breakfast pizza, Tiramisu French toast, Blueberry Lemon French toast, Crab Benedict, Canoli's, Blood Orange Mimosas, and the Aperol Spritz. Overall the Tiramisu French Toast and Aperol Spritz were my favorite. We will be going back for dinner next time.“

“Great pizza especially for the price in downtown. Huge selection of beverages.“

“Delicious And fresh tasting food.“

“The pasta carbonara is excellent and the venue is charming . Very small bistro like atmosphere.“

“I had a fantastic experience here at the big Apple today! I had there Buffalo chicken pizza so good! The best part they drew a fun surprise of a pentagram with buffalo sauce ! Thank you🤤“

“Perfect dinner for the last night of a trip! Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal and the ladies were friendly and sweet! Close to the SLC airport!“

“Good and service was amazing! Highly recommend being from out of town the bartender treated me like a regular ♥️“

“A great spot, really loved their spaghetti and of course the lamb chops were fantastic. And how can I forget the live music.“

“Authentic Italian home family style savory meals. Great service.“

“pizzería deliciosa buen servicio todo exquisito“

“Very yummy. Very different. My kids eat more than one piece each �“

“We came here for our 11-yr anniversary. For our 10-yr anniversary we did a pizza crawl in Chicago, Detroit, NYC, and New Haven Connecticut. So this year we did a much smaller version to check out pizza more local to us. Compared to the pizzas we tried in NYC, it was pretty good! The slices are huge. I got a pepperoni slice and my husband got a cheese slice and a bacon/green olive slice.
I thought it was pretty great overall, but my husband wished the crust was more crispy, though he liked the sauce.
The staff was friendly, but the music they were playing was pretty awful and the bathroom was gross. Overall great pizza and we’d come again.“

“My experiences here have always been great! I had the awesome lunch special and the customer service was top notch. The meal was fresh with some fabulous flavor. I definitely will be back when I’m in the area. I miss the pizza buffet, which hasn’t been there since COVID.“
