We had a fantastic time at Valter’s Osteria tonight! Everything was so delicious and the atmosphere was comfortable and fun.
Some of our favorites were the handmade butternut squash ravioli and the lemon gelato with honey.
Most of our meals were plated chairside and split for us.
We also loved the touch of the complimentary bruschetta and hot chocolate! Excellent! Will come here again!

Our food at Valter's Osteria was fantastic! My husband and I were looking for a top tier restaurant for our last night in Salt Lake City and Valter's Osteria did not disappoint.
The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous but still manages to feel like a family-owned establishment.
It is an upscale restaurant even though they do not have a dress code.
If you do not want to feel out of place, I suggest dressing up a little bit.
It is a fairly small dining space for how busy they are.
While I am not a fan of cramped dining, the waiters bus the tables regularly, so you do not typically have too much on your table at any time.
The wait staff is also very serious, which I mistook at first.
It seems to be the type of high-class atmosphere they are going for and not that they are looking down on you.
It made me feel a little small at first but by the time we got our appetizer I was over it. Our waiter, Gustavo, had a lot of good suggestions and we took him up on all of them.
We ordered a porchetta, rucola e fontina for our appetizer.
It was good and light.
For our entrees we ordered veal albese and the nana in porchetta savinese (duck in cognac and grape sauce).
I had the veal, and it was really good but the duck dish my husband had was absolutely delicious.
It was very different from anything we have eaten before, and I am sure we will order it again if we ever go back to Valter's Osteria.
We had to order dessert and the only time our waiter smiled at us was when we were bringing us the desserts.
We knew it was going to be good! For dessert we ordered the tiramisu which was so good it almost made me cry.
I know that is dramatic, but it was so good, and it made me so happy! We also ordered the lemon gelato with honey and lemon juice, and it was hands down the best dessert my husband and I have ever had at a restaurant.
The waiter prepares the dessert table side, and it is really fun to watch.
I could go back to Valter's Osteria just for the lemon gelato. It is pretty rare that my husband and I enjoy everything we get at a restaurant, but here everything was absolutely delicious.
If you are in the Salt Lake City area and are looking for an incredible Italian restaurant, look no further than Valter's Osteria.

We're truly grateful for your kind words and thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your dining experience at Valter's Osteria.
Our team works tirelessly to create a warm and inviting atmosphere where every guest feels welcomed and taken care of, so it's heartening to know that you felt at home despite the upscale ambiance. Thank you for acknowledging Gustavo's expertise and for allowing him to guide you through our menu.
We take great pride in our dishes, and it brings us joy to hear that both the porchetta and the nana in porchetta savinese left a lasting impression.
Hearing that our tiramisu and lemon gelato brought you such joy is incredibly rewarding. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to the opportunity to serve you again should you find yourself back in Salt Lake City

The food was fresh and authentically Italian.
Particularly the bread with garlic oil.
The gnocchi was okay but over salted and the sauce very rich, I felt it was overpriced for something I could easily make at home.
The service was okay but I had to wait 20 min for a table despite making a reservation.
Overall the experience was positive but overpriced.
