Caputo’s by Night, Classic Italian in downtown Salt Lake City

Reviewed by Becky

 

Sadly to say that this restaurant is no longer open.

One of my favorite Salt Lake City companies, Tony Caputo’s Market and Deli, just opened a new venture, Caputo’s by Night. As soon as we heard the news we made a reservation and blocked off a date on our calendar to try it.

I think they’ve found the perfect match for their demographic with this classic Italian restaurant. Lasagna, Meatballs, Linguini, Chicken Parmesan. Caputo’s simply knows good Italian food.

I’ve recently been on a quest for quality classic Italian in Salt Lake that is also affordable and so far I’ve only found a few. I recently shared with you my good experience at Michelangelo’s on highland Drive, and a few not a classic Italian favorites: Nuch’s and Vinto. But I really think Caputo’s takes the cake. With this family run business, full of long-standing family recipes and quality ingredients, you can’t go wrong ordering from their menu.

On our first visit, we tried the half and half pasta dish, where you can choose a entrée and pasta dish from a variety of options. We tried their wild mushroom stuffed ravioli with garlic olive oil sauce. For the half and half dish, I chose the Chicken Piccata, and a penne pasta with a spicy tomato sauce. What I like about the menu is that it opens up the patron to create their own experience. With a variety of pastas and sauces you can simply create a dish that is exactly what you are hungry for that evening.

The atmosphere is comfortable yet special with white table cloths and candles and the openness of the market around you. The service was exceptional; our waitress was very knowledgeable and we never had an empty water glass.

I especially loved their spicy tomato sauce and I would highly recommend the ravioli. But everything was delicious, even the sweet/spicy peppers in the salad were tasty.

As most of you know Caputo’s is a sponsor of this blog, to read about my blog sponsorship program click here. Sponsors do not pay me to write positive reviews for their restaurants but simply pay to place their logo on my site. I share that with you so you can understand that this is a fair and unbiased review.

I must say that my experience at this new Caputo’s is exactly what I think Salt Lake needed, a friendly and affordable, classic italian restaurant enjoyed in the evenings in the heart of downtown.

  1. yum. that ravioli looks yummy! what was it filled with?so glad they are your sponsor cause you are a good reminder that i need to head up there more often!..just signed up for a class!

  2. I have purchased the mushroom ravioli frozen from Caputo's and brought it home to prepare it. It is delicious and I am planning an evening to dine there soon.

  3. I am really looking forward to trying Caputo's by Night. I have heard nothing but good things about it. I like the half & half idea!

  4. The mushroom ravioli was wonderful, as was the soup. I went a few weeks ago, apparently the prime rib is fantastic too, I love the new menu.

  5. Thanks for stopping by my blog, I am so glad you did! I will be in the SLC area soon and will defiantly have to use some of your restaurant reviews to help me decide where to eat and drink on my trip!www.heatherskitchenconcoctions.com

  6. Oh thanks for this recommendation. I always seem to forget about the Caputo's by night (I never forget to grab a sandwich on the way to the airport though). Also exciting is the Caputo's outpost opening on 15th and 25th. There is nothing better than a good deli within walking distance.

  7. Wow neat! This is a really great site! I am wondering if anyone else has come across something like this in the past? Keep up the great work!
