I just moved to Salt Lake City with my family and we are hungry but want something filling. Italian is the way to go and usually has great portions. We are pretty tired from the move, so that calls for delivery. Also looking for something with a bigger menu not limited options as we like different things and i have a toddler.

I went to google and found quite a few restaurants. Instead of going straight to the google review list of restaurants i decided to look at an article that had a list of best Italian restaurants in Salt Lake City. We are trying to eat soon so i picked an article that just seemed to stick out to me the most. I chose SaltPlateCity.com’s article because i liked the name and how it advertised and organized the article. After i pulled up each restaurant on a separate webpage and looked through to see which ones delivered.

Now my main thing is what’s on the menu, portion, reviews, and price. Most places didnt have a big menu. I ended up choosing from either Carmines or Siragusas. What i liked about Carmines is that i saw a kids menu even though upon clicking its only two items. Besides that it did have an extensive menu. Decently priced as well. Siragusas as well was decently priced and had a big menu. Both had same ratings with mixed reviews but i found that for food delivery it fit the part. Most reviews were for people who ate in house, so i had to go with gut. If i was feeling a bit more fancy for delivery I would’ve also added Osteria Amore. As the presentation of the food and the dish descriptions caught my eye. Also if you have Margheritta pizza your winning me over just a bit more and that’s something both Carmines and Osteria Amore had. Osteria Amore has smaller plates though and a higher price point.

I ended up choosing Carmines off of simple factors of food presentation. Compared to Siragusas it looked way better. The portions between both places are around the same. The reviews are also around the same, along with price. Carmines is maybe slightly a little more expensive but not a big difference. Even though this Carmines is not same as New York it instantly rings off family style and its a family ran restaurant, which we love! Also the kids menu not much but good enough.

The consumer decision making process is something we do often within our lives. Sometimes its quick, sometimes your going down a rabbit hole on what to order for dinner. It’s really based on need and preference. Some people might not care about price or presentation of food. Or some might prefer to eat out rather than get delivery. This is why certain companies target certain people when marketing. So that they can cater to that specific need.
