Restaurants near Fairmount Park

First time going. Food was really great, got the bread plate for an appetizer, the butter for the bread was really tasty. For the main course my wife and I split the steak board and the steak and pork chop were cooked perfectly, and seasoning was on point. Butter cake at the end was 10/10. Overall super happy with the place. The only thing that kinda threw me was the service was mediocre to not great. Server forgot our appetizer. We had to ask another server to check on it. Drink refills were checked on at the end of our meal not really during. The server just seemed kinda cold which is fine if she is having a tough day, but didn’t really keep up service wise. Small pull back to a great place, We will be back!

The restaurant was beautiful, the service was amazing, and the food was delicious. 10/10 food+experience

This was our first visit at Sicilia Mia, and it did not disappoint!! The food was fantastic, the atmosphere is warm and inviting and the staff are incredibly friendly and amazing! Our waiter Stein made the visit feel welcoming and he did such an amazing job. We will definitely come back, and we definitely recommend going here for some very tasty Italian food. Thank you for making our Valentine's dinner special!!

We love coming to Matteo’s. We were finally able to visit their new location in downtown Salt Lake City and it is beautiful. It’s bigger than their first location but still has all the charm and familiarity. I am really touched by their ability to make you feel like a special guest. I love seeing familiar faces and the fact that they remember you is really heart warming and something a lot of restaurants don’t prioritize as part of the dining experience. The food was outstanding, as usual. We love getting the steak special whenever it is available. It really is one of the best steaks in Utah (and I’ve been to just about every steakhouse here). Of course though, the pasta is always delicious and their desserts are usually something I never pass on.
