| - Not knowing who Ken Stewart is or what his restaurants are about, I ignorantly went into this restaurant with zero expectations. My mom suggested it as a place that she loves and since I am in town, thought I should stop in.
Started off with some wine and beer, nothing to go crazy over - just a nice selection of both at manageable prices.
For an appetizer got the asparagus wrapped in cheese and prosciutto. What else do I need to say, it was amazing, and a nice precursor for things to come.
Dinners, my mom got the Italian nachos, something I have never seen on a menu before nor even thought of. Instantly impressed, I tried some since the plate was made for maybe 3 guys or 4-6 ladies dependent on who's cautious about weight. They were covered in Italian classic toppings like banana peppers and capicola. (I can't remember what else is on them but it's a nice concoction.)
I ended up getting a calzone with roasted peppers, capicola, and goat cheese. The crust of the calzone was really good, tasted brick oven baked. Delicious.
Service was great...can you be too nice?
Decor was classy, but not too fancy for my style.
We sat outside when it was 55 degrees out, next to the fire, and was very pleasant. Really cool patio, would be a nice place to hang out for a bit.
Being in a region where good Italian food is easy to come by (trust me, in SLC, Utah we have little choice) this place stacks right up there as a must go. For me, I'd go back again for sure, as there were many other things on the menu that I'd be interested in trying and I wouldn't be afraid to bring someone new here.
