Price: Moderate
• Italian • Salt Lake City
Booked 33 times today
Osteria Amore came to life because we believe in the power of food to change your day, or in our case, change your life. Owner Eduardo Daja has been working in restaurants since he was a teenager growing up in Italy, and his time in culinary school only strengthened his passion for food. After culinary school, Ed stayed in Bologna to work at a family-owned restaurant. He moved to Utah eight years ago, and found himself missing his first love, food. For the past three years, Ed has been managing an Italian restaurant while also maintaining a career in tech and finally made the life-changing decision to open his own restaurant. That big decision was made possible for Ed when he met Marco Cuttaia, Osteria Amore’s executive chef and partner. Ed’s training in Bologna, considered the food capital of Italy, and Marco’s upbringing in Palermo, known for its incredible street food, bridge northern and southern Italian culinary tradition in a way that’s never been done in Salt Lake City.

Purchased from the Red Iguana family in 1998, the Blue Iguana Restaurant has provided patrons with delicious, authentic Mexican food for over two decades. From day one, the only goal for Blue Iguana was to create a menu rich with traditional, old-world recipes while pushing the culinary envelope and creating new, one-of-a-kind Mexican cuisine.Trained by the culinary artists of Chihuahua, our head chef, Chef Castillo, cooks up some of the most mouth-watering and unexpected Mexican cuisine outside of his homeland. After he learned closely guarded recipes created in the tradition of generations-old Aztec cuisine, Chef Castillo began applying these techniques to create everything from classic Mexican dishes to modern cuisine.Our restaurant is warm, inviting, family-friendly, and full of energy. Dining at the Blue Iguana is more than a meal—it’s a journey back in time to the tastes and sounds of old-world Mexico.

    Wow! What an amazing meal and experience. I see why this restaurant received accolades as the best Italian restaurant in Utah. From appetizers to salad, pasta, proteins, & desserts every bite was delicious and the service plus live jazz during the meal truly elevated the already outstanding experience. Further, the house wine was fantastic. My wife and I traveled to Park City & Salt Lake City from San Francisco for a thanksgiving week getaway - we highly recommend and will be back again!

    I’ve been going to Antica’s sister restaurant for years and I have to say, this might be better! The ambience and presentation of your food is definitely better. The service is about the same, with very attentive, waiters, hosts, and even a couple visits from the chef! I cannot stress this enough, do not skip out on the charcuterie board! They not only have a high-quality selection of meats and cheeses, but they drizzle honey over a portion of it – my mouth is watering just thinking about it!  They also have delicious pastas, steaks, and I’m obsessed with their tiramisu! Despite getting seated 35 minutes after our scheduled reservation time (there was a wedding) we couldn’t have been more pleased! - and yes, you definitely need a reservation!

    We brought four friends here who are from out of town and they were fascinated. Everything we ordered (two sushi rolls, steak, sukiyaki, poke don, tempura, miso, teriyaki chicken, sake) was amazing. We sat at one of the cool authentic booths there where you take off your shoes to sit. The waitress burned her hand on the sukiyaki as she was delivering it, and it spilled on one of our shoes. She was so apologetic and tried to clean it but it will need a more thorough washing. But we were more concerned about her hand because it was very, very hot. If you're going for the first time, the sukiyaki (we like the beef) is unreal. We also like the mai zuru and geisha rolls. Such a great meal and great experience for the price.
