About the restaurant

VENETO is a dining experience that brings to life the history, culture, and traditions of a region in Northeastern Italy. It's a warm, enlightening setting that leaves bodies, minds, and spirits nourished through quality, handmade cuisine — best shared in good company, with love.

Our menu honors year-round classical favorites and seasonal specialties from the region of Veneto, with ingredients coming from Italy and the finest local purveyors. But it's the experience around those elements that you won't forget.

Being at VENETO is like being in Amy & Marco's home. It's a warm, inviting environment curated with one-of-a-kind antique European furniture and accessories, from the hundreds-year old Italian sofa in the dining room to the Italian marble in the restrooms. We want you comfortable, relaxed, and immersed in Italian culture as you ponder the menu, soak up new knowledge, and enjoy inspired conversation along the way.

Always a beautiful evening celebrating us and our family. The food was excellent. We did a 4 pound tomahawk steak. It was so delicious per chiefs choice. We love the Gulfi wines to pair with our meal. The special touch of cookies on the way out the door is a fav treat too.

Osteria Amore

Italian

Salt Lake City

About the restaurant

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.

A wonderful spot for dinner, it was our first time here and we loved it! The food was absolutely delicious. We chose it because of the vegetarian and gluten free options, and they definitely delivered. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Nice atmosphere and good service. The bread with the olive oil spread was a good hit! We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 different salads were all yummy, the portion of the main course was slightly small in portion but was definitely tasty. Will sure go back to try other dishes.

We keep coming back for a reason. Trio is worth it every time. Small enough to feel cozy and intimate but they serve up big results with their menu. Delicious! And don’t miss the goat cheese rosemary flat bread for a starter. Always enjoyable!

Food and service was really good. You could certainly improve the charcuterie! The fact that it comes on a single plate with everything touching was strange. And the servers should let the customer know what cheese and meats are there.
