Price: Moderate•Italian•4.9(1,588)Osteria Amore came to life because we believe in the power of food to change your day, or in our case, change your life.
Owner Eduardo Daja has been working in restaurants since he was a teenager growing up in Italy, and his time in culinary school only strengthened his passion for food. After culinary school, Ed stayed in Bologna to work at a family-owned restaurant. He moved to Utah eight years ago, and found himself missing his first love, food. For the past three years, Ed has been managing an Italian restaurant while also maintaining a career in tech and finally made the life-changing decision to open his own restaurant.
That big decision was made possible for Ed when he met Marco Cuttaia, Osteria Amore’s executive chef and partner. Ed’s training in Bologna, considered the food capital of Italy, and Marco’s upbringing in Palermo, known for its incredible street food, bridge northern and southern Italian culinary tradition in a way that’s never been done in Salt Lake City.

Discover Salt Lake City
The Salt Lake City restaurant scene exudes an effortless excellence. Japanese, Italian, Indian, Latin, and contemporary American cuisines are all well-represented and well-received. Many tables in town look out onto mountain views, but that's where the similarities end. Some restaurants are decidedly upscale. Others are Old World. A few feel like your mom's kitchen. If you're a sushi fanatic, then you'll appreciate the torched sablefish nigiri that comes highly recommended by the regulars. If everything on the Italian menus sounds good to you, why deprive yourself? Try it all with a pasta sampler. For a true taste of Salt Lake City, order locally sourced specialties like game hen with green bean tempura.
