    I love Caffé molise and I recommend it to EVERYONE, but this past weekend I came with a larger group and I felt that the treatment was not the same. We had a reservation that we booked weeks in advance, but it felt like we were being rushed. They took away our plates before we were finished, and they did not even offer us a desert menu before throwing a receipt in our face and pushing us out the door. I still recommend Caffé Molise to anyone wanting a delicious intimate meal, but if you’re hoping to go with a group of 10+ people it wouldn’t be my first pick.

    Overall a pleasant experience and inviting atmosphere. Lots of stairs which could be an issue for those who struggle with going up or down stairs. The scallops were cooked perfectly. Pasta was fantastic. Drinks were typical of Utah.....very weak! We shared a dessert and it was the poorest part of the meal. Tiramisu is usually very light and fluffy but this one was very heavy.

    The food was decent. A little bland, and overpriced for the quality. Case in point for the price you'd think they'd bring you whipped butter with your bread vs. half frozen.

    The salads were good. The pasta was okay. If you want traditional Italian food, this is not the place. Bruschetta was terrible. They use a tomato, red onion mix. 🥺
