Dining review: French passion lacking at Caterina

by Heather L. King Special To The Tribune

Caterina seems like a solid dining addition to Sugar House with its prime location in the old post office, its reasonable prices, and its emphasis on French food —which has been under-represented in Utah’s dining landscape. It also has a pedigree. It is the newest addition to the Cucina Restaurant Group which includes Cucina Toscana and Vivace, in downtown Salt Lake City. But for all its assets, Caterina under-whelmed my senses. Jean Louis Montecot, previously of Jean Louis in Park City, is the ...

New sushi restaurant banks on Layton’s future

by Jim Dalrymple Ii The Salt Lake Tribune

Layton • The restaurant sits on a wide street where the whir of speeding SUVs almost never stops. To the south, a stubble of spring weeds covers a vacant lot. To the north, a brown 1970s-era building is draped with vinyl signs advertising Asian massages. But Tonys’ Grill and Sushi Bar is banking on the spot. The Layton eatery is the brainchild of chef Tony Lei and manager Tony Ho. The two Tonys — “the apostrophe after the ‘s’ isn’t a mistake,” Ho emphasizes — opened their doors in January. Du...

Mother’s Day dining: Utah restaurants serving special meals

Everyone knows that if you really want to pamper mom on Mother’s Day, you need to take her to a nice restaurant. More than one-quarter of American adults will celebrate the holiday, which is Sunday, May 12, by dining out, according to new research from the National Restaurant Association. The research also shows that nearly one in 10 adults will rely on a restaurant for takeout or delivery for their Mother’s Day meal. Utah contributes to the trend, as dozens of dining establishments will be ope...

Feldman’s Deli, a true NYC-Jewish deli in Salt Lake City

by Stuart Melling Special To The Tribune

Published May 3, 2013 12:17PM MDT

New Jersey transplants Mike and Janet Feldman were drawn to Utah during the 2002 Winter Olympics for work — and then were compelled to stay by the fantastic scenery. The only one drawback to their new home was the lack of a true New York City/Jewish deli. The couple set about rectifying that shortcoming opening Feldman’s Deli, in a low-key strip mall on the east side of Salt Lake City. The interior of the restaurant is a mix of comfortable and cool. A counter space, fronting the kitchen area, gr...

Spedelli’s pizza and sub shop draws diners from every walk of life. There are often twenty-something guys who appear to be actively engaged in skateboarding/snowboarding. But one evening there was a rotating number of families with young kids. And at lunch there were plenty of businessmen in shirts and ties. In practice, everyone is welcome at Spedelli’s and each time I visited we were always warmly greeted and served with a smile. Crispy, flat-crust pizzas are the star and come in 14- 16- and...
