In SLC for business and we were recommended to try Salt & Olive's "back room". Pizza parlor in front, white table cloth restaurant in back. Great menu options. We had the NY Strip & crab cake. Great flavors. The staff was extremely good. read more

We came here to celebrate my birthday and this place is just as cool as it looks! We have the whipped stracciatella to start and it was so, so good. The bread is some of the best I've ever eaten. My husband had the Steak & Ravioli and I had the Short Rib Osso Busco. Both good but a little lackluster on the flavor. The dessert special Tiramisu was to die for - tasted entirely authentic! Our server was super attentive and helpful. Overall, good food, a really cool vibe, but it was a bit warmer inside than was comfortable. You definitely don't need a jacket for dinner! read more

I love coming to salt and olive, their food is always delicious and they have so many gluten free options! All their pizzas and pastas can be switched to gluten free! We especially like truffle pizza and shrimp pasta. Recommend trying it out for some American Italian food. read more

We went here for date night and--wow--did this place blow our minds. The dining room is beautiful and spacious, the cocktails were beautifully crafted, the waiter was friendly and attentive, and the pasta dishes were some of the best we've ever had. We easily made reservations and found street parking about a block away. We started with some delicious cocktails--the Lady Pleaser and Paper Plane--which were both delicious. We had the bread with whipped cheese and hot honey along with the grilled caesar salad and crudo for appetizers. They were all beautifully presented and delicious but the caesar blew us away and was one of our favorite bites of the night. We got a few more cocktails to enjoy with dinner--the Mezzin' Around and a gin, mint, and lime drink I forgot the name of. We enjoyed both of these as well. For entrees, I got the carbonara and my husband got the squid ink pasta with lobster. I've never seen more beautifully presented pasta dishes in my life. The flavor matched the beauty too--and the portions were good enough to take half home. My husband was incredibly happy with all the lobster in his pasta. We took a raspberry tiramisu home, which was also delicious. The bill came to $208 before tip, which matched the quality of the food and restaurant experience. I'm excited to come back and try other things as I believe the menu changes regularly. read more

The atmosphere here is lovely, we went on a Thursday night and it wasn't too busy. There are several different seating areas and options for private rooms. I love that they take reservations here, even for small parties. The food is great, the type of place I'd like to revisit and try most of the menu. I particularly enjoyed the Wagyu bruschetta, tonight. Above all, the thing that stood out was the warmth of the people here and the service. Every interaction we had was friendly, positive, and helpful. Cameron was our waiter; he was extremely attentive, personable, and added a lot of joy to our evening. I can't wait to come back for more! read more

My bf and I came in for pizza. He got the margherita and I got the truffle pizza. I was super excited for mine, but honestly it just wasn't for me; I realized I'm just not a ricotta person and it was a little too creamy for me, and the arugula was pretty bitter. We both enjoyed the margherita more! Service was super sweet and very attentive. Ambiance is casual, clean, spacious, with lots of natural light. read more

I wish i could rate this place 10 stars. I would fly hours to eat here again..... In fact i did just that. Lol . I made a pitstop out of my way to SLC just to eat here. WOW it is Fabulous. I will rave about this restaurant to anyone with ears. The Zeppoli alone is worth it. But all of it was fabulous. In short, if you live anywhere close, come try this place. It is well worth it. read more

Very interesting restaurant. I give it a big 5 star yelp for food quality, service and value :) Simple and delicious salad for $11 big enough for two hungry people. Pizza is new Napolitano style and delicious $12 - $22 for one hungry or two. They serve Peroni on tap. Very cool. I have eaten inside once and outside once. Both are pretty basic. No frills. On street free parking. read more

Discovered this gem by chance and trial. What a treat! Ambience, service and food quality were absolutely superb! Every one of us enjoyed our entrees- including Roasted Chicken, Pork Chop, Seafood combo and Filet Mignon steak- and the included sides/sauces were very tasty. The space is dark overall, with discreet lights on each table. It has been a long time since we have had such a thoroughly enjoyable/perfect meal in Salt Lake. We will be back! read more

I hosted a private event here and catering staff was inconsistent in response. Sometimes it was less than 24 hours and sometimes it was 4 days. The space was amazing. And well decorated. It was the perfect spot for our group. The food was yummy and the desserts were my absolute favorite. The Hunter pizza was a hit. read more

Salt & Olive - Bean dip, stuffed mushroom, and bruschetta. - Italian Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Thursday night and looking for a good pizza joint. Reviews, internet and city guide of Salt Lake City suggested Salt and Olive. They could not of been further off base. This was a wasted dining opportunity. We arrived and waited patiently for a hostess to seat us. The place was not crowded. Once seated our waitress was missing in action. 15 minutes later, we were finally able to order a ceasar salad and hunter pizza with grilled steak, sausage, pepperoni, mozzarella and red onions. We substituted extra pepperoni for the steak and added hot honey drizzle. The salad was fresh, crispy and well dressed. The pizza was a disaster with minimal sauce, undercooked, super chewy and lacking any flavor. The steak was missing as requested but so was the hot honey drizzle. The double order of pepperoni consisted of 5 pieces total. The crust encompassed 30% of the total pizza. I ordered a pizza not bland tasting baked bread. I dislike leaving a negative review especially to a small establishment, but Salt and Olive eared this review. The staff was not focused, busy on their phones and not interested in whether or not the patrons were happy. You can't fix indifference. We will not be returning and hope others consider our experience when selecting a pizza shop in SLC. read more

Cute spot downtown! As I continue my quest to find the best pizza in the valley, this spot is a great contender. The restaurant has patio like vibes and was bright and clean. We came during an odd time (3pm) and had ample seating options to choose from. It was starting to fill up more as we left closer to 5pm. The food is so good! We stuck with pizzas and really enjoyed the crust! The balance of crunchy chewiness and balanced flavors were five stars, topping distribution was my only peeve on the House pizza just because I like to have a bit of everything in each bite and I had to spread the cheese out more to cover the whole pizza. Worth a try! read more

Came here for a quick dinner with some friends and the vibes were soo nice. A couple people we went with said they've been there before and supposedly they have different menus for the front and the back of the restaurant. We got sat in the back and it was a much more intimate setting with lit candles and a little more privacy between tables. Overall the food was really yummy, I got the clams and my boyfriend got the steak pizza! We also got the garlic fries but I wish it was a bit more garlic-y, it was more like regular fries with a garlic aioli dipping sauce. I also really appreciated the chef coming up to our table to make sure everything tasted okay :) read more

Since the ownership and head chef changed earlier this year the quality of the food and staff has negatively changed this restaurant.

Loved this place!! The interior was so cute! They have a coffee area with pastries, ice cream and other treats at the front. The restaurant was very spacious and cutely decorated. My boyfriend and I split the Margherita pizza and the pappardelle pasta. Both were amazing, I loved the pasta, it had mushrooms and a sauce that was delicious! I also got the blackberry bramble drink, so cute and yummy! It was a lemon/blackberry drink. Hope to be back soon to try more! read more

Not a bad restaurant at all but also not sure I would return. Menu looked good and I was hoping for a spicy pizza. Ordered the El Diablo but it was bland and had no spice at all. Service was good, nothing outstanding even though it was really slow. The ambience was odd but maybe it was just me. The other tables seemed to like it. Pizza was huge and I could only finish half of it. Very dense dough which probably filled me up. Also got a salad and that was very good and fresh. read more

I don't understand the hype around this place. Yes it's a beautiful restaurant and the service is impeccable. They even have a fancy "back room" with its own menu that you can eat at with reservations. But that's also weird. You can't order from the regular menu in the back. So if you walk in and like the place and then make reservations to come back, you'll get an entirely different menu. The bean dip (like hummus) was phenomenal, as was the flat bread. But that's about it. The cheese bread was ok. The balsamic glaze tasted burnt. The BBQ chicken pizza had no flavor. The blackberry pizza was similar. It would have been so good if you could taste the mint or green onions or the glaze. The lasagna was standard and good, but not worth almost $30. My daughter loved the bucatini, but she also likes spaghetti with meat sauce from typical chain restaurants, which is exactly the same. read more

My favorite dinner spot in Utah!! Not only is the food amazing, the service is also amazing!! Chef Nesa always seems to surprise!! The Short Rib Osso Buco was incredible!!

Im actually obsessed with salt and olive. I have been here multiple times and every time is delicious. The truffle pizza is my favorite pizza I've ever eaten. It's so creamy and flavorful. The vibe is so cute and they are always attentive. The steak sandwich was also delicious. They have Diet Coke in a 16oz can and bring it with a glass of ice and lime. Hits ever time! read more

An upscale restaurant tucked in the back of a food hall style building. Salt & Olive was a nice surprise when we were visiting SLC on vacation and found this little gem nestled away in the downtown area. A laid back vibe that progresses into more of a finer dining experience in the back of the building. We didn't have reservations but were seated quickly. We started with the flat bread and white bean dip. It was actually a heavier starter than we should have started with. It was really, really good and flavorful but the beans filled us all up a little too much. My entree was Pappardelle Al Tartufo which was a bountiful bowl of pasta with loads of flavor. The mushrooms and truffle cream sauce really made this dish pop. I could have done without the peas however, I wanted to order the dish as recommended to get the full experience. Service was great and very attentive. The only drawback was the pipes above our heads. Every five minutes or so they would start rattling and knocking really, really loud. Violently so. I was expecting them to break away from their mounts at any minute however, they never did. The staff seemed familiar with it as they never even flinched when it happened. read more

Absolutely delicious and flavorful food. The hummus was 10/10. The ambience was also super cool. They have a nice area for some fun pictures at the front. Service was great, nothing wrong. Had a wonderful time. I would love to come back. read more

We visited around 5:30pm on a Sunday and the restaurant had plenty of open seating. The short, blonde hostess in sneakers asked if we had a reservation and when she learned we didn't need she tossed menus at us and told us to find a table. This was our first time and we didn't know if this was normal snotty behavior or if it was how they treated people that didn't have a reservation. It was quite off-putting and shocked us. We were celebrating a birthday and it was a total turn off. The service didn't get better after that. Food was decent. I did visit the restroom before the food arrived and saw the hostess on my way back from the restroom, we made eye contact and I smiled hoping to diffuse her foul mood, but to no avail. The hostess soured the entire evening. We had initially thought to get a sweet treat for dinner but decided we didn't want to stay any longer. We still are in shock about this and it may now be a running joke in our group. read more

Really good food with a cool vibe and atmosphere. I tried the pesto and would get it again.

I love the ambiance here at night. It's open and clean with low music and warm lighting to give you that relaxed, cozy feeling. I ordered the Tortiglioni Verde (Sambuca pesto cream, green olives, blistered tomatoes, prosciutto, and burrata. The flavors were wonderfully complex while also being very comforting. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the pesto cream was plentiful to make sure it filled up the pasta. Service was polite. I can't wait to come back and try something new! read more

Not bad but not great. Service was perfect but the food just missed the mark. We had the Truffle and the Hunter. The steak on the hunter tasted like yesterday's left over. Meh.

Not pictured is the flatbread and bean dip (I think that's what it was called) and was the highlight of the meal. read more

Stopped for dinner at Salt & Olive and it did not disappoint. It was a lovely night so we sat outdoors. Our server, Keeley, was fantastic! Husband had the Bucatini and this was a hearty dish and heavily portioned. Prepare for leftovers! I had the pappardelle with peas and mushrooms and it was incredible. The sauce was delicious but light and did not overpower the pasta. So glad we stopped here. read more

Oh my...had a over night stay at SLC and looked up high review Italian restaurant. Dont know how they have over 4.4 ratings. Use your finger if you order pasta because the noodle will come in Dwarf lengths. You cant use forks to eat that and not too mention how salty it was. I was so hungry after 11hours of driving and finished 2/3 of the dish anyways but had to drink as I chew. Waitress reaction when I asked why and how the spaghetti were so short in lengths? "Really? Wow!" Then walked away with a big smile, lol. read more

My co worker and I came in here for dinner and drinks. The ordering system for this restaurant requires you to order and pay your food at the front counter before getting seated. The servers were very friendly and attentive. They stopped by to refill our waters and asked if we needed anything often. We ordered the Tagliatelle And Bucatini pasta. The Tagliatelle pasta was cooked perfectly to al dente, the sauce light but flavorful and the shrimps were quite large. The portion size is great to fill you up. My coworker got the Bucatini, that was filled with meat sauce, perfectly cooked pasta and sauce was great. Both the Bees knees and Once upon a lime drinks were in beautiful glasses. Seemed like a small portion but the quality is there. The atmosphere is more modern, edgy with an open spacious concept. Overall, the prices were very reasonable, the food was great and they had great customer service. read more
