Step On Tours

Husband and wife team, Marco and Amy Stevanoni, have brought an authentic northern Italian dining experience to Salt Lake City. Born and raised in Verona, Italy, Marco is well known for both, love of his home country and his passionate commitment to classic Italian cuisine. Amy, raised in Salt Lake City, brings her career in marketing, love of art and design, and deep appreciation for Northern Italy. Together, they invite you to experience their style of Italian living and dining, with the cheapest round-trip ticket to Italy.

VENETO Ristorante Italiano is a small, intimate restaurant in a repurposed home originally built in 1892, located blocks from the center of downtown Salt Lake City. Once inside, you will feel as though you’ve been transported to a special spot you’d be lucky to stumble upon during an Italian holiday. If you prefer “cenare all’aperto” (outdoor dining), there are two outdoor dining areas. The back patio offers a beautiful and peaceful escape, while dining on the front porch will get you closer to the action of the historic Liberty Wells neighborhood.

You won’t find stereotypical Italian dishes on the menu, but you will be introduced to classic, authentic dishes; an à la carte menu that honors year-round favorites, and a seven-course tasting menu highlighting seasonal specialties from the Veneto region, with optional wine pairings. For beer and wine lovers, there are artisan Italian beers and an extensive wine list which Wine Spectator continuously recognizes as one of the best in the world for its breadth, depth, and superior presentation.

But it's the experience around those elements that really sets the scene. Every member of the team at VENETO is committed to bringing to life the region’s history, culture, and traditions. From a warm welcome at the door, to elegant and leisurely pacing, skilled service provided by a team of professional servers, and a full-time sommelier with The Court of Master Sommelier credentials. You’re in for a unique and memorable dining experience!

VENETO Ristorante Italiano

My wine career started at a hot dog stand. I worked the grill during the humid summers in Western New York rolling dogs over charcoal. I greeted customers as they arrived, shouting, “Whatcha want? Whatcha got?”— and the banter between the ‘grill man’ and customers began. I traded the grill in for fine dining when I moved to Salt Lake City. I loved the fast-paced environment on the floors of Utah’s top-rated restaurants, and made the decision to continue my training. I found I was especially motivated by the power of wine to enhance the dining experience for both the guests and myself. This passion has been greatly enhanced by my decision to become a certified Sommelier, and then an Educator with an internationally recognized program. I am pleased to take the enthusiasm that has its roots ‘behind the grill’ to the floor of bustling restaurants. As a Sommelier, I seek out epic experiences with food and wine for guests, and as the Founder and Educator of the Wine Academy of Utah, I introduce the intricacies of wine to enthusiasts and professionals alike in a fun environment. My banter of “How many dogs?” has transformed into “How about little ‘splishy splash’ to get you started tonight?”

Edison House is the brainchild of co-founder brothers George Cardon-Bystry and Charlie Cardon. George and Charlie are 8th generation Utahns who grew up in Salt Lake City but left for a decade to explore and experience some of the country’s most dynamic cities. During their time away, the brothers gained a deeper appreciation for the importance of a strong social network and real community connection, and how challenging both can be to find and foster. The arts, culture, and vibrancy that define Big City Living inspired them to bring that energy back home to Salt Lake. The Cardon brothers and the Edison House team are on a mission to build something new and dynamic in downtown SLC: a community of thoughtful go-getters, where members build meaningful friendships, expand their horizons, and feel at home.

Especially For You

Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.
