Ever since moving to Salt Lake we’ve heard nothing but good things about Vinto. So we finally went and it was just as great as we’ve been told. The atmosphere and design of the restaurant is chic and impressive. The food is delicious and they customized my pizza with a gluten-free crust. My respect for a restaurant always goes up when they cater to my crowd.

The design of David Harries’ eye-popping bistro is as vivid as are the flavors here. From wood-fired thin-crust pizzas to heavenly house-made oven-roasted meatballs, Vinto tantalizes visitors with its vibrant atmosphere. The economically priced wines are just a bonus

The sparkling new pizzeria has an urbane air, while serving sophisticated pizzas and a
mind-boggling selection of gelato. This is the real Italian deal, from recipe to machine to the extra-virgin
olive oil and sea salt sprinkled on top of the simple, yet decadent vanilla gelato.

Let me start this post with a question: why does anyone EVER eat at Chilis? Or Applebees? Or Olive Garden? Why OH why, when you can get amazing food at local eating establishments with fresh local fare that is priced sometimes far lower than these chain restaurants where everything served comes out of a frozen bag? I am baffled.

Vinto ain't your daddy's pizza parlor—unless, that is, David Harries is your daddy. If so, lucky you, because Harries has a knack for creating visually appealing, palate-pleasing eateries—he's been doing it for about 30 years, dating back to the original Riverhorse Café, Ameci and Barking Frog in Park City, as well as the Park Café in Salt Lake City. The made-from-scratch meatballs at Vinto are heavenly orbs in a class of their own.

If you’re like many people, you satisfy your chocolate cravings with a candy bar, heart-shaped box of crème-filled candies or bag of foil-wrapped “kisses.” Your palate deserves more respect. Treat yourself to today’s exceptional artisan chocolates and delectable chocolate desserts. They’re all the rage in Utah. Some are locally made, most are widely available, and all are a direct path to experiencing the magic that makes chocolate the favorite-of-all-foods.

If Salt Lake City’s new wood-fired pizzeria, Vinto, were in human form it would be a tall, dark and handsome man. Maybe have a good European accent and be active in some sport like rowing.

The Wasatch front has more good pizza than it really deserves. But not more than it needs. Vinto, the latest wood-fired entry, sets itself apart with its Milanese-sophisticate style—yellow walls, curvy booths, and, hey, check out.
