I typically go for the Bucatini at dinner. The sauce is delicious and the noodle cooked perfectly. As for the lasagna, I think it's a little too thick and heavy for my liking.

Because there was no bar, the hostess seated us in our table early which we really appreciated. We started with some appetizers, cocktails, and a bottle of wine while waiting for the rest of our party to arrive. Luigi and the rest of the wait staff were very patient in attending to our needs while we wait for the rest of the party. Overall food was delicious and satisfying and service was excellent. For appetizers, our party had the Speck & Dates, Arancinette Alla Carne, Octopus Carpaccio, and the Zucchini Flowers. My wife and I shared the Bucatani Cacio & Tartufo and Bistecca alla Griglia. Both were delicious, cooked to order, and seasoned well. But the Bistecca vegetable was a bit sparse with three stalks of Broccoli. It is my impression that the rest of the party were happy with their mains. We enjoyed our meals and did not notice that we had been there for five hours! All that time the service staff cleared our table, refilled our wine and water, and checked how we were doing. Definitely, a must go place for Italian food in Salt Lake City.

It was dark with a little bit of light making it very romantic if that's what you're looking for. We were a party of 10. I absolutely love the food! Just be aware that the portions aren't huge but not small. The only reason I am giving this a four star is the service. The waiter was very concerned about making sure everyone ordered more when we had already placed our order. The concerning part is when we need more water I did feel like I had an empty glass a few times. I wasn't sure if it was her or another gentleman that was helping us that was supposed to watch that. They also give complementary bread. We asked for extra bread as they said we could get as much as we want, but as we asked for more, the waite seemed annoyed. it was just a little disappointing, but she was always super excited to ask if we wanted a dessert or anything else.

A Hidden Gem That Earned Its Way Onto My Regular List…read more Bartolo's Sugar House is the kind of place that sneaks up on you. The ambience is simple but warm. Nothing flashy, just a comfortable space that lets the food do the talking, and the food has plenty to say. We ordered the pistachio pesto campanelle, and it was outstanding. Rich pesto sauce, artichokes, and sun dried tomatoes coming together in a way that felt both rustic and deliberate. We also had the Caprese Bucatini, a spaghetti style pasta served with a small ball of fresh mozzarella in the center surrounded by marinara. Do not skip the garlic focaccia either. It is grilled, which adds a smoky depth you do not expect from a bread course. It was exceptional. The tiramisu trifle was the one miss for us. It needed more moisture to really land. Skip it and spend that room on more pasta. A note on the experience: there was one server covering the entire floor and what appeared to be one person in the kitchen. The restaurant was not busy, but we still waited longer than the situation seemed to call for. It did not ruin the meal, but it is worth knowing. The bathroom also needed attention. We spent $85 for two with non-alcoholic drinks, which felt fair for the quality and the neighborhood. They apparently do brunch, and I am already planning a return visit for that. This place deserves more attention than it seems to be getting.

Every dish that comes out of that kitchen is prepared with love, excellence and flavors that make you close your eyes and smile. Tonight we started with the amazing Asparagi: Sautéed asparagus under two over easy eggs, truffle butter, and cracked pepper. We order it every visit as it is uniquely savory and addicting. My wife had Pollo Picatta: Seared chicken breast, capers, and fresh lemon. It was done perfectly: tender and bathed in lemon, butter, capers and a touch of wine. She raved about it. Almost as much as I raved about my Agnello Scottidito: Pan roasted pork chops and sage in an orange white wine sauce. Unbelievable. And that side of pasta? The best red sauce I've ever had. Seriously. A couple other reasons for our appreciation of Per Noi: the staff and the value (prices.) Do you ever feel slightly price gouged at some Italian restaurants? You won't at Per Noi. For the quality and quantity of the expertly prepared dishes, hand-shaken cocktails and wine options, this top tier Italian restaurant is an excellent value. And the staff is one big welcoming Italian family that cares. Long may they reign. If you by chance end up with Manuel as your waiter, enjoy his congeniality and tell him hello. Oh, finally, just wait for the complementary foccacia they start you with. When you dip a pudding-moist hunk of that warm bread into the bowl of oil, balsamic vinegar and a garlic clove, you will be this close to heaven.

One of the things I appreciated about dining here is the story behind the restaurant. Siragusa's…read moreTaste of Italy is a locally owned, family-run restaurant that was opened in 2011 by husband-and-wife team Ross and April Siragusa. Ross grew up in a large Italian family in Chicago and wanted to bring the classic "old-school" Italian flavors he grew up with to Utah after finding they were hard to come by when he moved here. The restaurant is located in Taylorsville, about 10-15 minutes southwest of downtown Salt Lake City, making it an easy stop whether you're staying in the city or exploring the surrounding area. Always great to spend time with family, and this was the perfect place to do it! We had a fantastic dinner. The calamari was crispy, tender, and delicious. The gnocchi was flavorful and comforting, and my steak was cooked perfectly medium-rare. The restaurant is much larger than it looks from the outside, with a spacious banquet area in the back that's perfect for private parties and family celebrations. Even though it was a busy weeknight, the service was friendly, attentive, and efficient. There's plenty of parking, and they can easily accommodate both small groups and large family gatherings. Cheers--I look forward to coming back!

Both of my boys ordered off the kids menu even though they don't advertise it they will make children's size pizza and pasta, and the boys both enjoyed it.

It was served over garlic mashed potatoes. Every bite was amazing Wife had a shrimp linguine dish that she loved. We finished with the special chocolate cake with three scoops of house made vanilla ice cream the sized of large oranges. It would have served three easily. I could go on about the meal if I could find better words. Our server, Arthur is a real pro. He was training Amie? Our every desire was met without feeling rushed. We were in no hurry to leave. Look, we are retired and very frugal. Dropping $200 on a night out is a very special occasion for us. When we reach that occasion we need it to be rewarding. Arthur, Amie, and everything else about Tuscany left us feeling we need to do this more often. Sorry I'm not the guy taking pictures of my food so none here. Trust me, you need to be there.

I want to be able to describe my lasagna as cheesy. I am absolutly in love with the white bread garlic bread because it is what I was raised on and I feel like my mom made dinner every time they bring it to our table. On my second trip I ordered the 1/2 chicken parm 1/2 tortellini and I ordered the alfredo instead of the red sauce. Friends, this is where Italian Village shines! The sauce was perfection. I appreciate that it is a thin sauce because alfredo can get heavy quick. The flavor was perfectly balanced. Not a parm bomb but a blend of cheese, garlic, milk, salt, perfection. I usually like my chicken parm a little crispy on the edges so I was worried when it came out swimming like my lasagna but it mananaged to be cheesy (longest cheese pull ever), and still maintain a good bite and crispt edges. No complaints. Also you can't beat the price point
