Valter’s Osteria is truly a restaurant to go to to celebrate a special event! The service is impeccable. The food is incredible, the sensory experience with the flavors is out of this world. Take your time to enjoy each bite! Very pricey, but worth a special occasion. Valter has come to say hello to us each time we have visited his restaurant!

A +++. This place is absolutely amazing , the food , the staff and the table side food service 5 stars + . There is no doubt there would be no Valter’s Osteria without Valter. He is the heart and soul of the place. He glows when he sees happy customers and talks to people. You feel like family when you eat here. One of The best if not the best restaurants I have been with the food and ambience. If you go to one restaurant in SLC this is it or you are missing out on an amazing dining experience.

I see their rating is 4.7 stars… THATS A DANG LIE. 5 stars start to finish. Every course, every bite, every drink. Our waiter, Troy? 12/10. Service was phenomenal.Every single item that was recommended tasted like nothing I’ve ever tried before, in the all the right ways ( and I’ve experienced a lot of fine dining )The owner was darling. Our experience seriously was impeccable. cannot wait to come back, and bring everyone i know to try.

Amazing! Not just the food, but the whole experience! The staff was so attentive, we never felt rushed and we were also never left waiting. The pasta sampler was amazing. The lasagna was so good too! The honey lemon gelato is the best! We loved the little touches as well, like the bruschetta and the drinking chocolate & biscotti. Valter’s is easily our new favorite restaurant!

We decided to try this place for my birthday while visiting- it was slammed on a Tuesday night but they still were able to accommodate us only an hour after walking in. Even though they were all clearly busy, the service was impeccable from start to finish. I will remember this dinner and the experience for the rest of my life! They know how to make a lady feel special on her birthday! The tiramisu, espresso martini and the house dressing for the bread were personal highlights. Brenda deserves credit where credit is due- she knew the menu, knew how to adjust her serving style to the type of people we were and coursed everything perfectly! Literally cannot recommend this local spot enough. It’s worth every penny!

The food was very good but our service was very bad. Our server was Judith, she did not a knowledge us for over 10 minutes while chatting to 3 tables around us. It took another 10 to get water. We had to ask for bread 3 times and she just seemed very annoyed the whole time that we would want apps or to place our order. In all about 50 minutes at the table is when we finally got our food - we were a bit shocked by her service, however the other servers in our area did seem much better! Would come back if we could ensure sitting in a different section. Pictures is the lasagna.

Good food and experience, but not worth the price. Pretty bad value. I’ve been to Italian restaurants with a similar experience, that was just as good or better, and much cheaper.The bruschetta and bread (with homemade dipping sauce) was my favorite part. The lasagna was pretty darn good, but did seem a little over cooked.We also got the pasta sampler to share. It had some interesting flavors, but overall enjoyable.My friend got the steak, and wasn’t impressed, but he loved the soup.

The food was pretty good. The appetizer, which was sliced duck breast and pate, was pretty good. The pasta sampler was great, in particular the ravioli. All the sauces were delicious. The chicken entree was decent, not great. Disappointed in the tiramisu but the honey lemon gelato was great. Great service. Overall I’d go back to test more of their menu.

delicious food

went here for a work event a while back. we chose it because of its great reviews…. every meal tasted terrible, flavors were all off, veal was inedible, vegetables were flavorless and also cold, and for $50 a plate… HOW. The server couldn’t be bothered to talk to us, and was really rude when he did. no one ever asked how our meals were (though it seemed someone was walking around to all the other tables). save your money, go anywhere else. maybe just a bad night, but for the price there should be no inconsistency, it should always be good.
