    SKITTLES TASTE THE RAINBOW. ft. shiny happy people holding hands ok not holding hands but the workers did triple check if i wanted pickled onions so very close

    a bowl of food

    Food: tasty (it's like an Asian chipotle). Service: average. Ambiance: chipotle-like (but Asian).

    Green curry with tofu

    Am a regular here and all of the other Zao's around town. Don't know why I never remembered to check in on Yelp. Quality of the food, fast service, safe ingredients are all found in this establishment. Wished they would bring back their Thai iced tea. They knew how to make it so strong and bold. Will be back for sure!

    Hands down, Zao is one of my favorite places to eat. Their food is fresh, flavorful and the service is quick and spot on! I've never had an incorrect order. My favorite thing to get is their salad with tofu, jalapeños and chili lemon grass dressing!! Whether you're dining in, getting to go or ordering online, it all tastes great!! All of their locations are equally good and consistent!

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon and there was one other person in here. First thoughts were that the place looks neat and clean. They had two people behind the counter that were very helpful and respectful. Since it was my first time here, I didn't really know the tastes. I was really curious about the meatballs and what they tasted like so the man behind the counter gave me a sample without any hesitation. I ordered the bowl with brown rice, carrots, a full order of chicken and meatballs, cilantro, topped off with their yellow curry. Such a good bowl! The flavors were awesome. I couldn't finish the bowl because they put tons of rice. That's the only reason I docked them one star- too much rice. Rice is a filler that most places pile on because it's cheap, so it looks like your getting tons of food. Next time, I'll ask for light rice. Overall, good food, clean tables and chairs, spacious, respectful and helpful staff. I'll come back for sure.

Price was great for the quality of food. At the end of the meal they sent out an amazing cheesecake to share. Will be back, and will recommend to as many as possible. Side note, we went to strada by Matteo a couple weeks ago and had such a wonderful experience we decided to hit the mothership last night. Great decision support these guys!

    10/10. I think we officially found our new favorite Italian restaurant…read more Everything about Matteo's was incredible. The service was amazing from start to finish. I wish I remembered our server's name because he was fantastic, but honestly, every person we interacted with was so friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. One of my favorite things we learned is that they're only open for a few hours each day because they spend so much time prepping everything fresh. The pasta and bread are made fresh daily, and you can absolutely taste the difference. The food has that authentic, family-recipe Italian feel that is getting harder and harder to find. I had the seafood pasta and it was to die for, and we also ordered the ribeye, which was incredible. Unfortunately, we were too busy eating to get pictures of either. We did manage to get pictures of the espresso martinis and the cheesecake because they were way too beautiful not to. The cheesecake was easily one of my favorite desserts I've had in a long time. And the panna cotta deserves its own mention. My boyfriend has been on a mission to find a new favorite ever since our old go-to restaurant stopped serving the one he loved, and I think the search is officially over. Amazing food, amazing service, beautiful drinks and desserts, and you can tell how much care goes into everything they make. 10/10 recommend. Matteo's has officially become our new favorite Italian spot.

It's like mashed potatoes, but a fun different take. The employees were really nice and fast. They also had a ton of gluten-free options such as a pumpkin cheesecake.

There are numbered guides on the glass but they were out of order so it was kind of confusing. However, we figured it out and had fun deciding what options to get. The Mister got a half Las Vegas and I got the Turkey on Mashed, but subbed out for a baked potato. The portions were big! We both took home leftovers and they were both really tasty. I think my turkey dish probably weighed five pounds. It was very tasty and I could see how delicious it would have been over mashed potatoes. My husband's Las Vegas potato was also very good. Super flavorful. I also appreciated all the syrup options set up beside the soda dispenser. That was an unexpected bonus. Staff were friendly, clean place. We'll definitely be back. I think chili on a baked potato would hit the spot on a cold day.

    One of the things I appreciated about dining here is the story behind the restaurant. Siragusa's…read moreTaste of Italy is a locally owned, family-run restaurant that was opened in 2011 by husband-and-wife team Ross and April Siragusa. Ross grew up in a large Italian family in Chicago and wanted to bring the classic "old-school" Italian flavors he grew up with to Utah after finding they were hard to come by when he moved here. The restaurant is located in Taylorsville, about 10-15 minutes southwest of downtown Salt Lake City, making it an easy stop whether you're staying in the city or exploring the surrounding area. Always great to spend time with family, and this was the perfect place to do it! We had a fantastic dinner. The calamari was crispy, tender, and delicious. The gnocchi was flavorful and comforting, and my steak was cooked perfectly medium-rare. The restaurant is much larger than it looks from the outside, with a spacious banquet area in the back that's perfect for private parties and family celebrations. Even though it was a busy weeknight, the service was friendly, attentive, and efficient. There's plenty of parking, and they can easily accommodate both small groups and large family gatherings. Cheers--I look forward to coming back!
