Salt Lake MUST EATS

I like Slackwater. They have one in North Provo now too.

It is good. I’m glad they are keeping their quality as they are expanding.

Slackwater Pizza is solid. We went to the Sandy location. It was pretty busy but we got our food relatively quickly. 3 of 4 had specialty pizzas; one had a sandwich. Everyone was satisfied. I’d go again.

Caffé Molise is pretty good. We did lunch with extended family, and everybody was happy with their choices. Gnocchi and polenta meals were the best IMO. Good desserts also. The old building has a nice vibe also.

I'm just going to pretend that, 15 years later, someone finally took my suggestion.

LOL.

Let's pretend that if I was around when you made that suggestion I would have remembered it.

Didn't make it to Tiburon or X, but we hit:

Taggert's Grill in Morgan. Nice area in the canyon and surprisingly good. Everyone else but me had pub fare, which they all liked. I had shrimp scampi primavera which honestly was delicious. Desserts were excellent.

Immigration Brewing. Very nice setting; wonderful outside when it wasn't terribly hot. Buddha Bowl and a burger were rated very good by Mrs. NWC and daughter. I had the special that night: sous vide rack of lamb, which was excellent. Probably the best meal I had in Utah last week.

Chunga's. Had the al pastor and steak tacos. Decent, but not amazing. I should have tried what others have recommended before me, but I've been on a street taco kick for a while. And the al pastor is getting rave reviews online.

Tuscany has been recommended in this thread previously. I'm here to re-recommend it. The setting is very welcoming. Once you turn into the lot it feels very secluded. The restaurant successfully rides the border between authentic feeling and kitchy, without going too far towards the latter. The chandelier alone is pretty amazing. Food is solid. Meatballs and bacon wrapped peaches for appetizers, pork chop/mushroom linguini pasta/ravioli for entrees, and chocolate cake with ice cream were all solidly above average. Would have tried the sea bass were it not for the recommendation of their staple of pork chop; glad I got it.

We may be hitting one of the other solids X and Tiburon before we leave.

At first I thought you talking about the Italian region. The words of The Maestro rang in my ears that there are no houses to rent anywhere.

I didn't know they had a location in Herriman. How long has it been there? I drop my kid off at the rec center every week but enter and leave from the east side. I'm going tonight.

It has been there around 3 months or so. Maybe a little longer.

This place is becoming a problem for me. I've got food there 3 times in the past week. It is so close to my house and it is just easy to just go there and get some tacos. My go to order is 2 tacos (crispy with cheese) and consomme. No sangria at the Herriman location.

I'm going to try this place tonight on the way home to get my al pastor fix. https://www.elmorelense.com/

Is there a Provo version of this thread? Looking for dinner tonight.

[MartyFunkhouser]

And as you said, this is the perfect time to be there.

The weather was also perfect. There was a decent cloud cover, but no rain for our lower calf creek hike. Weather was a nice mild 70a
s for the whole hike.
