Romano's Macaroni Grill, Salt Lake City

For good Italian food and a lovely, casual atmosphere, this is the place. Service is excellent. Nibble on Italian bread dipped in vinegar while you wait for your Penne Rustica or Scaloppini di Pollo , two of the restaurant's signature dishes. For the less adventurous, the restaurant's wood-burning oven adds a wonderful flavor to traditional pizza. If you are lucky, you may even be serenaded by an opera-quality soprano. This restaurant is always crowded call-ahead seating can save hours of waiting time.
