My wife is Italian. We have been looking for an authentic Italian restaurant in Salt Lake for years. We found Michelangelo on Highland Drive one day and decided to try it. We were blown away. There is nothing else like it in Salt Lake.
We started off with bread. The bread can be dipped in olive oil and vinegar. My wife is very picky about her bread - we both loved this bread and asked for 2nds and 3rds on the bread.
Then I had a Cannelloni appetizer that was delicious and my wife had squash soup that she loved.
For the main course I had the lasagna. It was amazing, maybe the best I've ever had. My wife had a spicy noodle dish which I can't remember the name of now, but it was very tasty.
The thing we loved about Michelangelo is they had a real chef. All of our food was made fresh to order.
Finally, if you go to Michelangelo, DO NOT SKIP DESSERT!!! I had a custard dessert with strawberries and cream on the top - one word: Amazing. My wife had the terramisou. Terramisou is not my favorite dessert but my wife loved hers.
If you want an authentic Italian dining experience, with amazing food and a chic, comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend Michelangelo.
Pros: Delicious food, chic ambiance, good service
