We had a wonderful night here. It was for a work Christmas party and they did an incredible job serving our large table. I loved every dish. The Mediterranean salad came with this incredible goat cheese crostini and I could have eaten an entire plate of just those. So incredibly good. And I got the special on Thursday night which …
The restaurant is beautiful. The music in the background puts off a very nice vibe. I wasn't sure what to get, but knew what I was looking for. My server was wonderful in suggesting a dish. It hit the spot. It was delicious. I ordered a passion fruit drink that I did not like. There were seeds in it that …
Obsessed with the outdoor patio! Just so peaceful & elegant. Perfect for a date night. Felt like a four course meal between the bread, our ravioli appetizer, a FREE house salad that comes with your meal, and pasta. Service was wonderful as well. The pasta tasted so fresh.
Was a recommendation by a coworker when in town for work. This was an excellent lil spot. I was fortunate to walk in off the street and get a seat but I would recommend a reservation. I was able to get a seat outside under the terrace and it was BEAUTIFUL. I do wish they had more "traditional" Italian food …
Excellent food! I would not have chosen the Penne De Caprino - but it was the waiters highest recommendation. No regrets at all, this was an excellent choice, thanks for the recommendation! I would definitely come try more dishes in the future!
What a cool spot! My wife and I had a nice date night here. Favorite food was the ravioli appetizer! Very attentive service. Lasagna was very well done and I loved the bread. We will be back sometime.
Delicious. I got the shrimp scampi and it was unbelievably good (spicy fyi). Everyone else loved everything. The Crème brûlée was incredible and the chocolate mousse made me weak in the knees.
What an incredible dining experience! The butternut ravioli was absolutely to die for, rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. My husband, who’s a true Italian and very particular about his pasta, couldn’t stop raving about the pappardelle, saying it tasted just like his momma’s homemade. That’s the highest compliment possible!
Cafe Molise is a beautiful restaurant located in a restored 1915 historic building in downtown SLC. We were a party of seven. I do not know what everyone ordered but know that three of us ordered Penne di Caprino, Gnocchi de Patate, and Pesce del Giorno (Sea Bass). One member of my party order a side of seared scallops. All …
This is a classic restaurant, a dying breed in Utah. Wonderful architecture and decor in retro-style building lends a legitimate ambiance to the experience. We were very happy with the food and service. Parking was easy on a Monday night. Our server was friendly and attentive. And the food was top notch, yet it didn't break the bank. I'd definitely …
