Sicily, brought to your table. Our pasta, bread, and pastries are made by hand, every day. Giro was born and raised in Taormina, the town we're named for, and chooses every wine himself. Chef Leonardo brings the cooking of Catania and sources our ingredients with the same care. It's not a theme. It's where we're from. How 'Mina began It started in Taormina 'mina takes its name from Taormina, the hillside town on Sicily's coast where Giro Messeri grew up, where doors stay open, meals run long, and a stranger is just a friend you haven't met. Giro carried that with him to Utah, and years later it found a partner in Adam Rosh, an emergency physician who'd spent a career caring for people and wanted to keep doing it one table at a time. Over a shared love of food, they asked a simple question: how do you build a place where everyone who walks in feels genuine human connection? 'mina is their answer.

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!

Located in [Historic Trolley Square](http://www.trolleysquare.com/) since 1972, we've been satisfying the local Salt Lake community with hand crafted food and beer for decades. In our roots, we began with a simple offering of food and poured Coors to college students. Over time however, we have evolved and expanded into a full service brewpub, with made from scratch food and finely crafted beers alike while still maintaining our local relaxed vibe.

Our brewery operation began in 1995 and within a year we went on to win Utah's first gold medal and the GABF for our Happy Valley Hefeweizen. We have continued winning medals ever since, most recently with 2 Gold Medals and the 2015 Mountain Brewers Festival for our Road Rage Rye and Dunkelweizen. Currently we have four beers that are always on tap (Hefeweizen, Pilsner, Pale Ale, and Stout) in addition to four rotating seasonal taps and one cask conditioned handle.

The menu has kept some of the 35 year favorites while adding and changing over time to more modern offerings. We have a specials menu that changes bi-weekly to explore current trends and maintain variety for our dedicated local following. Everything is made from scratch but at price points we feel set us apart. Come see why we've become a "regulars" establishment and a Salt Lake Institution.

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.
