Osteria Amore came to life because we believe in the power of food to change your day, or in our case, change your life. Owner Eduardo Daja has been working in restaurants since he was a teenager growing up in Italy, and his time in culinary school only strengthened his passion for food. After culinary school, Ed stayed in Bologna to work at a family-owned restaurant. He moved to Utah eight years ago, and found himself missing his first love, food. For the past three years, Ed has been managing an Italian restaurant while also maintaining a career in tech and finally made the life-changing decision to open his own restaurant. That big decision was made possible for Ed when he met Marco Cuttaia, Osteria Amore’s executive chef and partner. Ed’s training in Bologna, considered the food capital of Italy, and Marco’s upbringing in Palermo, known for its incredible street food, bridge northern and southern Italian culinary tradition in a way that’s never been done in Salt Lake City.

Excellent restaurant. Great steak and seafood choices. Great service. Overall 5 star experience. The squash blossoms and ceviche were great choices to begin. The Wagyu filet was amazing and reasonably priced compared to other places. Nice that it comes with a side. The scallops and soup were good as well. The desserts were wonderful caramel bread pudding was the favorite of the desserts but the three we tried were all excellent.

We enjoyed the Christmas experience which was a fun secret Christmas themed room with Christmas decor and special drinks (like a speakeasy). It was a blast and drinks were fun! The food options were very limited but they warn you about that. Would definitely go back next year.
