Italian Graffiti

This place is absolutely amazing!!! Everyone should go at least once! The atmosphere is beautiful, relaxing, and romantic. It's beautifully decorated and has a very calm, romantic lighting. The service is phenomenal! From the front hostess to waiter and manager, all very kind, helpful, pleasant people. The food is absolutely incredible! We started with some delicious cocktails and the bread service. We chose the baguette (delicious) with Ricotta ( whipped and features fresh herbs and a drizzle of honey) and the burrata (perfect amount of salt), so good! My husband also really enjoyed the butter they bring with it as well! For dinner, my husband ordered the Spicy Rigatoni and loved it! The real star of the show is surprisingly the Roasted Lemon Chicken... I know.. at the Italian place, and I didn't get homemade pasta. My husband and I could not get over how insanely delicious it was! The chicken is moist and delicious inside and beautifully crispy on the outside. The flavors and sauce on it are what take it to the next level! It is so good! It is one of my favorite places I think I've been. I am planning to take some of my upscale family here to dine because I know they'd appreciate it! It is a higher price upscale place but totally worth every penny!! (On the food pictures, I did brighten them up some hard to picture with lighting inside.)

Everyone says the same thing, the front of house is terrible but the service and food once you're seated is amazing. The bone marrow risotto was out of this world. The rich, earthly flavors of the truffles and mushrooms combined with the bone marrow and spices were unbelievable. Bone barrow can be tough for a lot of people since the texture and can be unsettling but mixed into the risotto and with the mushrooms and the texture blends right in. The scallops were delicious but I usually prefer a better crust, they were a bit soft. The service staff was attentive, friendly, and very helpful. But be careful of being seated in the front. There's a small table right at the entrance we were seated at, despite our reservation, that is right next to their waiting area so when it's busy your table is constantly jostled and in the winter, the cold breeze from the door opening behind you is annoying. Always insist on being seated in the back

This place was elegant. When you think of Classic Italian romantic dinner this place was spot on. The wine and beer list was all from Italy. The menu was piece meal so you had to decide if you wanted to pay for bread and sides or just enjoy the main dishes. The staff was friendly and available but not overly attentive. Which was perfect. Our waiter, Luke was very professional and did a fantastic job. Definitely make a reservation for seating since they are very busy. Plus parking is at the Gateway so you may want to arrive a bit early to park.

Great Italian food in Salt Lake City! Was worried seeing previous reviews of this place, but we were pleasantly surprised. Service was great, and food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend ordering an appetizer, as they are all so good! Especially the carpaccio and the burrata. The mocktails are also fantastic. Atmosphere is lovely, overall would recommend!

I was hoping this would be a class act of a restaurant. We dressed up and expected a fine dining experience. We were sat next to what looked like the serving bar right next to the Lime Green Pizza Oven. I felt like our party of 8 was tucked away in a corner that was out and away from the main dining area. It could have been worse, the patrons next to us were seated at a little extension of the serving bar right next to servers grabbing items all night. It just felt like this classy place but with an out of place lime green over and windows looking into the storage room, it just cheapened the experience. Dressing up? don't worry about it, the place was filled with yoga pants and basketball shorts wearing diners. What happened to dressing up to go out? From where I sat, you could see the wine coolers, the host desk, some beautiful art, and an entrance to the main dining room. But I wasn't there. I was in the corner wearing a 'dunce cap'. The food was really good and I highly recommend the Artisanal Bread. They get dinged a star on the food though because the portions are tiny. I feel like I paid triple the normal rate and got a third of the food. Service was OK especially for a larger group and our server was excellent at explaining the different Italian Lingo on the menu. Here is my biggest takeaway though - The menu is divided into sections - Pasta, Protein, Vegetables. Based on the portion sizes, I'd recommend ordering a dish from each section per person. I honestly don't think I'll ever go back. Just didn't feel like any traditional restaurant nor did it feel like it was fine dining.

Loved everything about our visit! Possibly the best chicken parm I've ever eaten in my life. If you are a bread lover they have a large selection of amazing home made breads with cheeses that are phenomenal. All the food that was coming out of the kitchen looked incredible. My drink, the Jazz Smash, was the highlight of my meal. Alec (the amazing bartender) charred some rosemary in front of us before placing it on the bourbon drink. Was a fun presentation, but an even greater experience to drink. The aroma mixed with the tang of the drink was an experience every sip (I don't say that often). Highly recommend this place, and if you sit at the bar and are lucky enough to get Alec as your service you're in for an awesome night!

Italian Graffiti definately lives up to its reputation. It is beautiful restaurant with fantastic food and service. My husband got the lemon chicken which had great flavor but was a little soupy in my opinion. I ordered the Bavette steak which was cooked very well. The onion rings breading was a little thick for me. We also shared the home made rabbit tortellini, arugala salad and a bottle of Daou. I highly recommend the tortellini and salad, both were delicious. Our waiter asked if we wanted dessert, but we were so full we asked what we could take to go. Unfortunately, the desserts dont travel well. He was kind enough to bring us a complimentary vanilla ice cream which was devine! We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and would come back!

Johnny deserves ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a party of 6, they were short staffed and things weren't flowing as they normally do... That being said, Johnny our waiter stepped up and went above and beyond with ours and all of the tables he was serving. Hands down He is the best server we've had in a very very long time anywhere. To ensure we had an amazing time despite their short comings in the staffing department, Johnny compensated each of us with a dessert of our choice. Superb dining experience. They hand make all their dishes, noodles, ravioli ect, ect. The meatballs were so good, have a little bit of spice in them but the perfect amount to compliment the noodles and sauce. The ravioli was excellent. Great sauce and flavor. The stuffed mushrooms were pretty good, not too strong of mushrooms, but a flavor explosion in your mouth! The peanut butter cheesecake was so creamy and smooth. So MUCH better than the CCF. Definitely worth the wait and reservations to get in. The business causal dress code isn't enforced.
