Restaurants near Salt Lake Public Library

The food was well prepared and very flavorful. Our waitress was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was very impressed that despite a large group having a celebration the kitchen managed that with ease and everyone was served in a timely and attentive manner. The bread pudding dessert was unusual with its use of cherries and dark chocolate. Highly recommended. The rolled chicken was a standout. The chicken was moist and every bite was an explosion of well balanced flavors.

We had the opportunity to have the Valentine's tasting menu, and it was fabulous. I had the wine pairing too, and it was perfect. My favorite was the soup, but also don't miss the coconut mahi mahi or the salmon poke. Thanks for the warm hospitality for our date night <3

The homemade pasta is magnificent. Great ambiance and not extreme in pricing. Loved it.

We love coming to Matteo’s. We were finally able to visit their new location in downtown Salt Lake City and it is beautiful. It’s bigger than their first location but still has all the charm and familiarity. I am really touched by their ability to make you feel like a special guest. I love seeing familiar faces and the fact that they remember you is really heart warming and something a lot of restaurants don’t prioritize as part of the dining experience. The food was outstanding, as usual. We love getting the steak special whenever it is available. It really is one of the best steaks in Utah (and I’ve been to just about every steakhouse here). Of course though, the pasta is always delicious and their desserts are usually something I never pass on.

Beautiful ambiance in back of restaurant. They had several large tables of high school kids at their Sweethearts dance so the noise level was higher than normal and food delivery was very slow. They were trying to do their best so we appreciated that. Our server was great and very kind to keep us updated. The Caesar salad and house bread of delish! The pizza was good but crust was undercooked and they had it on a weird bowl/plate where all the toppings slid to the middle. I think they just rushed to get it out and probably didn’t have any clean pizza plates left. We were seated at a small table against a wall that had plastic chairs. They were extremely uncomfortable and when the wait was abnormally long we asked to move to a booth that had been open the entire time and our server was happy to let us move. We will go back and give it a second try:)
