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.

During my recent visit to Osteria Amore I was impressed by the outstanding service. However, while some of the dishes were truly enjoyable, others fell short of expectations. The ravioli, in particular, stood out as a delicious highlight, while the calamari failed to impress. Despite this, I still believe the overall quality of the food is good and recommend giving this place a try.

After ordering takeout several times, this was our first time eating in the restaurant. Food was outstanding, particularly the Favolosa salad. Service was just ok - server didn’t offer specials or give any recommendations. We were informed that our first choice antipasti was sold out after we tried to order it. We had to request bread, which we had seen on every other table. Biggest disappointment of the meal was dessert - the strawberry “gelato” definitely tasted more like sorbet. Nonetheless, we will come back, particularly when the patio opens.

We loved, LOVED the food! But the noise level for us senior citizens was unbearable. We could not hear each other at all. A carpeted quiet room would be so much appreciated! Now we must use you for takeout only, as we cannot return there to dine.

Saturday evening reservation at 5:45… After waiting 15 minutes at our table, we were not even offered to order drinks. Instead we were told they had only one house fish dish left. NO PIZZAS would be cooked (1/2 the menu). And only one gnocchi left. How can an Italian restaurant be entirely out of their main entrées on Saturday night at only 5:45pm? Excuse was short staffing and a “busy week”. We still weren’t offered drink service. We used to love Osteria Amore…that opinion is now altered. We’ll have to call ahead I guess to make sure they are actually cooking 80-90% of their menu before we drive up. We’ll give it another shot, but cannot recommend until we vet out they’ve fixed their issues. Unreal.

We have been here multiple times with the best experience, but this time we were sat at a tiny 2 person table next to the entry. Very cold and loud and we had no space for our plates. The table we sat at shouldn't even be an option for seating. Other than that the experience was perfect.

We usually dine at Osteria Amore before the play at Pioneer Theater company. Very convenient and the food and service are outstanding. My wife and I are on a temporary low carb diet so I wondered if the could add a protein to the Mediterranean salad. They were very accommodating so I had a Mediterranean salad with octopus. It was great. My only complaint is that I thought the octopus was a little overpriced at $24 but I may be out of touch with seafood prices.

Wonderful! I was searching for a new place to bring our son and his girlfriend to after picking them up at the airport. Our usual go to is The Copper Onion but I wanted to try something else. Absolutely loved everything! We had Tartare and calamari and eggplant Allois and they were all delicious. Entrees were the ribeye, sou vide chicken, bucatini and the Osteria Amore and each was equally wonderful! Couldn’t even think about dessert but enjoyed great coffee and espresso.

The food was PHENOMENAL!!! Everything we tried were absolutely top notch delicious! We are excited to come back and try other pizzas and pastas! The food was definitely worth the price, we were very impressed! Downside: we got the wrong pizza order twice despite the waiter checked with us after the initial order. So definitely check to see if your pizza was right or not before touching it.

One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. Our excellent waiter, Ed, told us that everyone in the kitchen was from Italy and spoke not a word of English. It showed. From the appetizers to the entrees to the wines to the desserts, everything was Italian. Every pasta was made in-house. Absolutely fabulous. If in SLC, Osteria Amore is a must. And ask for Ed. 😁

They forgot about our food and we didn't have time to eat it before catching a show at Kingsbury hall. Really disappointed in the service and lack of attention. The waiter still charged us a full $90 for two even though when our food finally came out we had time to take 2 bites and put it in boxes to go. The food is good but extremely overpriced. Will not visit again.

Last Saturday, I've had such a perfect dinner at the Osteria Amore. I'm a person who lived in France about 12 years, so I didn't like American restaurants, but I was able to have such a wonderful dinner in 10years. Perfect foods, perfect service, perfect ambience!!!! I live 3hours away from Salt Lake City but I and my family will come to the Osteria Amore as often as possible. I am so happy to know this restaurant. Thank you so much for making us a fabulous time.
