     If I were to relocate to Salt Lake City and was interested in finding a good Italian restaurant to get food, the first thing I would do is look through the online reviews and how many stars the restaurant has. My personal preference would be to dine at a restaurant that is four and a half stars or higher with an A health inspection grade.  If a restaurant can meet those criteria then I would be open to eating there.  I prefer casual restaurants but I do not mind a fancy restaurant from time to time and I also have no preference when it comes to the price of the food.  Being in a new environment I would go to the restaurant in person but as time goes by I would want the option of ordering takeout or delivery.  Ordering food for delivery can sometimes be exasperating with how much food gets stolen and the possibility of items being left out of the order.  The majority of the restaurants that I researched offer delivery so the option of delivery shouldn’t be a problem as long as it is done in an orderly fashion.

     The restaurant that I ended up choosing is named Caffé Molise.  Caffé Molise is located in downtown Salt Lake City, the scenery is nice and the area is active, the restaurant is casual and also can hold pre-theatre, opera, symphonies, and concerts, or it can be a sporting event dining location. There is outside dining on their garden patio and the location of the restaurant is fitting for someone who has just moved to Salt Lake City.  The prices are also great, the highest-priced item on the menu is the bistecca which is just under forty dollars. 

      Caffé Molise is great but there are some other restaurants that fit my criteria like The Old Spaghetti Factory and Stone Ground Italian Kitchen, in the end, I selected  Caffé Molise because of the authenticity and the lively surroundings and even though I dont mind high prices and the reviews about how customers are treated was what solidified my choice.  Caffé Molise is affordable and the food is high quality. While researching these Italian restaurants in Salt lake City I learned how much a review can affect decision-making when it comes to choosing a place to eat. One bad review can be the reason I dont choose a restaurant.  Everyone has different requirements when it comes to where they want to eat, I’m always open to new experiences and will give most respectable establishments a chance while others might draw the line at a bad review or not care about reviews at all.
