If Salt Lake City’s new wood-fired pizzeria, Vinto, were in human form it would be a tall, dark and handsome man. Maybe have a good European accent and be active in some sport like rowing. Or maybe it would be a dashing musician ready to serenade you with his beautiful voice.
Vinto is clearly the full package of what is takes to be a good restaurant in the Salt Lake dining scene. Prices: affordable. Service: quick and friendly. Food: fresh and tasty. Atmosphere: trendy yet comfortable.
In many reviews, people have mentioned that Salt Lake already has enough pizza restaurants. In my opinion, Vinto stands alone. I think Settebello has a completely different setting and style of pizza than Vinto, being more traditional Italian. Also the Pie, as well as other local favorites, all have their distinct qualities that make them successful.
A few notable things about this pizzeria: all servers are equipped with the latest technology to take your order and before they even leave your table your order is sent to the cook. Thus you don’t have to wait forever to get your pizza. Even so, they don’t rush you to get in and out but provide you with quick satisfaction. They also have a pretty incredible wine menu and excellent gelato.
My recommendations: The Patate Pizza with thinly sliced Yukon potato, fontina and goat cheese, rosemary, wild arugula and white truffle oil • the Tutabella Pizza with sausage and peppers • The Roasted Vegetable Piadine • The Verdura Salad • the pomegranate gelato and the butterscotch budino
Prices: $8-$12

We have really been wanting to check Vinto out but never make the time. We will make certain to soon.
I found your blog while looking for a review on the Beehive Tea Room. I am so glad that I did and I look forward to future posts! Thanks for the good read!
Vinto's is everything you've said. I loved the pizza with the carmalized onion and pancetta- wish I could remember the name. And the gelato is really quite excellant.
I am going here tomorrow for my birthday lunch at work! I am so glad you approve. I will let you know what I taste.
I completely agree with your Vinto human description! And that is crazy about Sarah Grace!
Next on my list of places to try. Thanks for the review! LOVE Settebello.
I am a big fan of Settebello, so Vinto is definitely on my list. I was looking for a local SLC blog, and I came across your website. I read a few posts and I think I might be a frequent visitor
