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.

Here at Kiitos Brewing, we’re all about gratitude, from the bottom of our hearts to the head on our beers. We see brewing as a privilege and we’re thankful to be doing so, just as we’re thankful for good friends, family, and a beautiful planet on which to enjoy them all. So raise a glass (or a can, if you prefer) with us, and join us in saying Kiitos for all the good things in life.

Stop in for an award winning beer, a game of pinball, craft night, or just to say hi!

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.
