Went to the speakeasy side of Gossip Kitchen & Bar for an early dinner and immediately knew this was going to turn into something special. The space is dark, cozy without trying too hard, and has that hidden downtown vibe where everything feels a little dramatic. We sat at the bar which was perfect because we got to watch drinks being made while talking ourselves into ordering half the menu. Started with the prosciutto and melon which was super fresh and balanced. The poke tostadas were one of my favorite bites of the night though. Crispy, fresh, and just messy enough you know it's good. The salmon truffle dish was beautiful. Like genuinely pause and take a picture before touching it! Loved all the little details with the ponzu, ginger, and presentation. Then came the carbonara, this was the dish. Rich, cheesy, peppery, comforting. Definitely one of those pastas where you keep saying "okay one more bite" until unfortunately the plate goes empty. Cocktails were also really solid. The Gimme Some More was refreshing. The Gossip Martini felt very fitting for the whole mood of the place. My other half grabbed a Napa cab. One thing I really liked is that even though the menu leans upscale, the staff didn't make the experience feel intimidating at all. Everyone was welcoming, answered questions, and let us take our time. Parking downtown is always its own adventure, but we found nearby street parking. Definitely feels like a good date night spot, "let's dress slightly nicer than usual" spot, or that place to slowly snack and sip cocktails with friends. A secret little NYC basement bar but in downtown Salt Lake. read more

Found this place while in SLC and it was amazing! It's in a busy nightlife area with some popular bars and eateries. This place is super chic and decor is warm and welcoming. The service was great from beginning to end. The hostess was super welcoming and our server was extremely nice. We got a few apps and they were all delicious! 10/10 Wagyu Tartar was mind blowing good! Meat lovers pizza 10/10 Hamachi yellowtail with jalapeño ponzu was such a pretty dish and tasted so fresh! 10/10 We both got the Wagyu steak. Beautiful cut but was lacking a bit of salt. We asked for some and they quickly brought out a salt grinder with pink salt. Just a tad of salt brought out the flavors perfectly. 9/10 The drinks where also amazing and beautiful! Price was good also at $16/drink. A def must try while in SLC. read more

Found a babysitter on a whim, a random Thursday night. Called up gossip kitchen hoping to get a reservation, to our surprise we did. Walked in and the place is dead. After finishing my meal I have no idea, no clue, actually blows my mind that this place isn't months out on reservations. Every single dish we had was outstanding. Let me bring it down: Jalepano Hamachi- 10 Toro- 10 Salmon Lollipop-9 *the wasabi and ginger accouterment- perfectly fresh and oh so tasty* Lobster Ravioli- 1000 Come here, or don't, either way we're coming back and hoping that we'll meet equally delicious friends next time! read more

Gossip Kitchen - Italian Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

The food was amazing. I'm from LA and we have a great food scene out there so it's hard to compare really. I frequent SLC and always look for somewhere to eat where the food is actually good! I had 2 appetizers, 2 drinks and an entree. Almost licked the plate. Delicious and the servers didn't bother me too much which I loved. And the speakeasy in the back is very cute. Will come back every trip 10/10 read more

First Visit - Beautiful Space with Some Growing Pains We stopped in to try this new upscale restaurant and bar in downtown Salt Lake City and overall had a mixed but hopeful first impression. It's been a few different spots in the last few years so we were very excited to see this c The space itself is beautifully designed. The tables, finishes, and overall aesthetic feel very upscale and thoughtfully done. The service was also spot on--friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which definitely made the experience better. We ordered the dumplings ($16 for 6). Unfortunately they came out undercooked and cold, which was disappointing, because the flavor was actually really good. If they had been cooked properly, they could easily be a standout dish. We also tried the Sakura Rosé Spritz sparkling sake by Tsuki Sake. It was light and floral, but just okay for my taste--I personally prefer a non-sparkling, fruitier sake. For the price point, what arrived at the table felt a little underwhelming. That said, they're brand new and clearly still working out the kinks, so I expect things will improve as they settle in. What I'm really excited to come back for is the speakeasy in the back and to try more from their Italian side of the menu. They also serve late-night pizza until midnight, which could be an awesome option if you're out late in SLC and want something good to eat. Overall: great atmosphere, excellent service, and lots of potential. I'm looking forward to coming back in the evening to see how it evolves. read more

When you arrive you can choose to sit on the Italian side (front) or Japanese side (they called it a speakeasy, the back). Both are well decorated with date night lighting. The staff is friendly and helpful. I wasn't feeling so amazing this night so we only got three things. Sea perch was heavy on the truffle oil, not really my thing but it was fine. Massaman shrimp was very salty but the flavor of the coconut curry and the quality of the shrimp lifted its potential. I'd definitely give it another shot in the future. The tuna tataki was light and cooked just right, seared all the way around and tender inside. The avocado puree was a nice touch that made it a bit creamy. I'm looking forward to trying more next time! read more

Gossip Kitchen was a great experience for our group of 10. We were a little worried about spacing since it looks small and intimate, but reservations were easy and they accommodated us comfortably- yes they accommodate kids on the front side but not the speakeasy side. Our server was attentive, kind, and the food came out quickly. The complimentary bruschetta was just okay, but the smoked salmon and tagliatelle porcini were amazing. Great service, cozy ambiance, and delicious food overall! Bruschetta: mid Burrata: Good. Refreshing Fettuccine Bolognese: Good. Fresh ingredients. Good texture to the noodles. Simple. Not amazing. Tagliatelle porcini. Amazing. Good flavor. Not too mushroom. Not too truffle. Salmon Wagyu steak. Worth the price. Salmon dish smoked: They way they do the smoke is amazing! 100 on point. read more

Had a very disappointing experience. The melon saved with the prosciutto wasn't even close to being ripe. The cabonara was way to thick and lacked flavor. With the exception of the hostess the service was terrible. There were only two tables. It took forever for the waiter to come to my table. He forgot my drink and when he dropped off my main course he literally just set on my table as he walked past and didnt come back to check on me until I was almost done. I finally had to flag down the hostess so I could get some pepper. I expect this isnt typical but nonetheless. read more

This was my first experience and it was fantastic! The food was outstanding - I can highly recommend the Gyoza, Massaman Shrimp and Tuna Tataki. Bella's service was incredibly friendly, helpful and efficient. Cort made a wonderful riff on an Aviation cocktail that is a new fav and should be added to their menu. One of the best dining experiences I had in SLC. Telling all of our friends and family about this place. read more

The decor is spot on, as soon as you walk in the smell of pasta hit a you. We sat at the bar in the back, low lights and strong drinks. We started with Japanese and ended with Italian. Start to finish everything was a hit. read more

Food was horrible. I was so grossed out I stopped eating after a couple bites. My boyfriend ate the meal and threw up later that night. One of the worst restaurants I have been to. read more

Amazing food and service! I highly recommend! Get the Carmine's Chianti bottle. You won't regret it

The vibe of the restaurant is totally awesome. Went for lunch and they only did Italian. The gossip ravioli was so good, and they also have great gluten free pasta. The service was great. read more

Ambiance was fantastic. It was dark and moody, but had just the right amount of lighting. The food and drinks were delicious. I got the carbonara pasta with the matcha snowfall drink that tasted like perfection. If you love matcha, and like a slight hint of sweetness, this is the drink for you. ALL of the desserts on the Italian/Japanese menu needs to be tried! Nothing was overly sweet/heavy. They were all so so good! Staff were friendly, and stayed on top of refills and check-ins. Owner was kind enough to give us a quick tour of the speakeasy in the back. Definitley recommend checking that out. Parking anywhere in that area is hurrendous, but we think this place is worth it! read more
