Restaurants near Residence Inn by Marriott Salt Lake City Downtown

The food and service was INCREDIBLE but the noise was so bad I couldn’t hear anyone at my table talking, and I had requested a quiet table and they sat us next to a very loud party of 10! Was a bit disappointed.

Our dinner was fantastic! We were impressed as soon as we stepped out of our car, the valet was attentive and kind. Hostess and front desk made us feel welcome. The waitress knew what she was talking about, she was so knowledgeable. We also loved the tasteful Christmas decorations.

Restaurant is beautiful inside and seating is comfortable. Our waitress was amazing and very attentive. Both me and my friend are gluten sensitive and she was able to point out our options and gluten free pasta is available to substitute on any pasta dish listed. The espresso martini was amazing! We also had the truffle fries, arugula salad, and scallops. All delicious! Highly recommend. But be prepared to spend some pennies!

Meme and Pepe are fabulous in the kitchen and have made Cucina Toscana one of the best Italian restaurants in Utah for the past 26 years. Jake is a wonderful manager, overlooking every table, and Rich gave us excellent service. Ellie is a gracious hostess and Luis always welcomes us back. Cucina Toscana is our favorite restaurant in Utah.

This was a new restaurant to myself and my dining partner. The comfort food elevated concept was very interesting and amazingly well done. The servers' recommendations were fantastic and everything delivered to our table was exactly as described on the menu. The fact that the restaurant has artificial sweeteners, but not the pink packets (i.e., saccharin) caused me to not get the iced tea. I don't know why any upscale restaurant would not offer pink packets as an option to guests since it's the only artificial sweetener that effectively and efficiently dissolves into cold beverages. Other than the artificial sweetener issue, everything else was fantastic! I highly recommend this restaurant, and if you like iced tea sweetened with saccharin, I recommend you bring your own Sweet 'n' Low packets with you. There are many appetizers that are absolutely delicious and will have me return to try the ones I could not get to on this visit. On the service side, I was running late because of when the concert ended at Delta Center. I called the restaurant and talked with Bob to let him know I was heading over from Delta Center, but I would be a few minutes later than my scheduled 5:30 pm reservation. Bob assured me that was just fine and we got there at 5:45 pm. We were seated immediately at a table that was ready for us, and had a lovely time. The service is just great at Carson Kitchen!
