For me, walking into Per Noi Trattoria on Highland Drive is a bit like stepping back in time. I first wrote about Per Noi in 2012 when it opened on Stratford Avenue.

I love authentic Italian dishes. Fortunately, across Utah, there are some delicious places to eat with menu items that are packed with flavor. One of these is Per Noi Trattoria, an Italian restaurant in Salt Lake City with menu items, such as pasta, that you will be thinking about for weeks to come. Here, you’ll find some of the freshest (and the b...

Màstra Italian Bakery Bistro offers diners a somewhat rare experience around here—a family-owned, non-chain restaurant. The small, bright and simply designed restaurant is located at 476 N. 900 W. in American Fork, just east of Costco and is owned and operated by Italian native Jonathan Cagnacci. Cagnacci was born and raised in Genova, Italy, befor...
