By searching for \u201cItalian restaurants in Salt Lake City, Utah\u201d, I found a list of restaurants in the area.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you notice, I haven\u2019t mentioned anything about the restaurants being a \u201ctakeout\u201d specific kind of kitchens. That\u2019s because according to the given situation, I have just moved to Salt Lake City. Therefore, I would want to try out the food of restaurants that also have an aesthetic seating and dining experience, since I appreciate and enjoy fine\/vibe dining (Step 1- Recognition of the problem).<\/p>\n<p>After going through the menus, reviews and pictures of two dozen different Italian restaurants on Yelp in Salt Lake City (Step 2- Searching for Information), the two that caught my most attention were, \u201cModern Italian Graffiti Osteria\u201d and \u201cValter\u2019s Osteria\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Since I was able to bring down my options to two restaurants, it was time for me to choose which alternative was going to be my takeout dinner for the night (Step 3-Evaluation of Alternatives).<\/p>\n<p>Since I usually order something to enjoy as an appetizer with less calories, I started checking out the salads that the two restaurants had to offer. Valter\u2019s Caeser Salad had a better rating than of the one that they had at Graffiti, even though in pictures Grafitti\u2019s salad looked more tempting.<\/p>\n<p>And since I\u2019ve been consuming a lot of calories due to the increase in hunger because of the \u201cmoving-in\u201d process, I felt like I should cut down some calories for dinner. Therefore, the place with the better salad got selected.<\/p>\n<p>To decide what I wanted to order as an entr\u00e9e, I had dived into the reviews. What I noticed was that people kept on repeating something about asking what pasta is \u201chomemade\u201d, and then getting it. So, that\u2019s what I did. I got the \u201cLa Carbonara\u201d, which with a creamy consistency and a deliciously smoky and peppery aftertaste, is the number one pasta dish both in the country and outside of Italy.<\/p>\n<p>For Dessert, I went for the classic Cheesecake, since it had a fantastic rating on Yelp.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, even though the city I was new to the location, as a responsible consumer, I knew what it was that I wanted and therefore, ended up ordering what I ordered. To add on to that, I feel that if every consumer understands the importance of knowing what\u2019s best for them, the decision-making process will go way smoother.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I started my research about Italian restaurants in Salt Lake City, Utah, I used search engines like Bing and Google.
