Osteria Amore

We decided to try this place from a recommendation. I had the Tonnarelli Amatriciana entree which had bits of cured pork cheek in it with a spicy tomato sauce. It was good! A little small for the price. We also had the meatball appetizer which was delicious! They have ongoing specials that they tell you about when seated. Ours was a homemade gelato which we had to get. Parking is super limited so we street parked a block away and walked over. I highly recommend getting a reservation as it is incredibly busy every night. Service was friendly and super fast. Great little restaurant serving authentic Italian dishes.

What a gem of a restaurant! Salt Lake City you are blessed to have this lovely establishment. Today we just went for lunch, a pizza, the "Etna" after the volcanic mountain in Italy. It is to signify spicy hot but tender tongues need not despair,; it is just mild to light medium heat. But the flavor!! The crust is definitely the product of a long and careful fermentation with pronounced flavors of secondary ferment making the crust complex with rich flavor. We also had a Caprese salad and they brought us bread with their homemade Ricotta Cheese to spread on it. Just delicious. They use Burata cheese they import from Naples. Lovely Italian waitress was wonderful to talk to and you can see the pizza baking in their wood-fired oven as you munch on preliminaries. It's a nice layout with a tree and grape-vine canopy shading the outdoor tables and comfortable indoor seating. Their bar looks like it knows its business, too, but all we had today was a beer to share with lunch. Full 5 stars for Osteria Amore.

I eat lunch there half a dozen times a year even though lunch menu is limited. I asked the lovely server today if they had a bolognese. She commented that they have one on the dinner menu and would be happy to make it for me. I have eaten pasta/bolognese all over Italy and this rivaled the best I have ever had. Not a traditional red/tomato sauce but rather a white wine sauce with what I am guessing is a veal stock. The young female Italian server is so incredibly friendly and accommodating. Nice choices for wines by the glass.

Had a nice experience here. The interior decor is very tasteful - great atmosphere for a date night. The food was good overall. Some hits and some letdowns. …

Fantastic restaurant for a birthday dinner. Service was great, food was delicious, and the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. We had the bruschetta and arancini for appetizers and they were perfect for two people. The namesake pasta dish Osteria Amore was delicious, and the pear gorgonzola ravioli was the best thing we got. Great cocktail list and the desserts were killer too. Will 100% recommend to friends and come back!
