After moving to Salt Lake City I decided to explore the neighborhood and go out to eat, since there were many Italian restaurants I made a list of them to help me look for a formal place that I could try something new in. Stanza Italian Bistro is a classy place in which you can dine in, the staff wears masks and follow health and safety procedures. Michelangelo’s On Main is a casual pizza place. Lastly, Olive Garden also has health and safety protocol, is family-friendly, and offer no-contact delivery. The one that stood out to me the most was Stanza Italian Bistro (rating:4.4; $$$) so I went on Yelp and looked at their reviews and images customers had uploaded, I could see that people were satisfied with the excellent quality and quantity of the food and service of the place.
At the restaurant I chose Arancini which was Italian sausage, mozzarella, Arborio rice, pecorino, pesto, and chiffon. Next, I ordered a Tomato Basil Soup which was thick and creamy. I could taste all of the ingredients, the food was very flavorful and service was great, the staff was kind and welcoming. The atmosphere was very relaxed, had a spacious lounge, bar, and a nice scenic view outside.
I would definitely come back to try their Rigatoni Fra Diavolo with shrimp(spicy) since this plate was also highly recommended in the reviews. “One of my new fav pasta in the whole Valley…” -Megan S.
