About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    It's a lovely place. People really nice. The food was unbelievable. Was my wife birthday and we try the seafood (octopus, zuppa di mare and calamari) to entries. The zuppa di mare It's in other level. The attention, food and environment was outstanding. Recommended 10000% Just a little hard finding a parking

    Great food. Horribly slow service with only a few people dining there. Their order processing is so slow we paid and left and they chased us down the road thinking we didn’t pay. Also Mid mimosas.

    first visit; had heard many positive things about restaurant and it did not disappoint; parking sucks but everything else was awesome! food was excellently prepared and presented and though fairly busy was presented quickly; flavors were delightful; our server was perfect! (Luana?) attentive but not hovering and quite enjoyable. She had a wonderful demeanor. We sat n the patio on a perfect early evening; entire experience was marvelous. prices a little on the high side but quality and experience mad it worth it. Not a foodie but will be back to enjoy the place again

    Our dining experience was outstanding. Delicious food great service and amazing wine. Our dinner was topped off with a nice double espresso. We love going to this restaurant before the play at Pioneer Theatre Company. It is very convenient and very enjoyable to have a nice dinner before the play
