For a true taste of Italy, try the lasagna at Terra Mia in Draper

Dish of the week • Lasagna Classica ($11).

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Lasagna classica with bolognese sauce from Terra Mia Italian restaurant in Draper, a sister restaurant to Terra Mia in Orem.

It’s absolutely true that you can taste the difference in food made with love. If that’s not something you’ve experienced before, the Lasagna Classica at Terra Mia Cucina Italiana in Draper will fill the gaping hole in your heart — and stomach.

The recipe dates back at least two generations, handed down from grandmother to grandson (the restaurant’s owner) — both native Italians. With six layers of noodles, various cheeses and a hearty Bolognese that takes six hours to make, the casserole hit every marker perfectly. Eating it, you almost feel like part of their family.

Terra Mia Cucina Italiana • 12361 Minuteman Drive, Draper; 801-571-4779 or http://terramiapizza.com/. Open 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4:30 to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
