Celebrated multiple family birthdays on this visit.
Valter's wait staff is outstanding, professional, and very attentive. The menu items were spectacular, including the deserts. A five star experience without question.
Amazing food quality combined with great, old school service. One of the best Italian restaurants in the country.
Perfect table decoration, attentive service, excellent kitchen. They prepare the plates at the table. Pasta arrives super hot all dente, gnocchi hand made and lasagna alla grandma is probably one of the best i ever had. Wine list for wine by the glas

I was so excited to try a new place in SLC.
A friend recommended this place. Bruschetta was amazing. Pasta was sub par. Beautiful building, but came for the food. Highly disappointed.
Dining at Valters was not just the food.
..it was an experience! Anthony our server was incredible. He made sure we would all select a dish that we loved based on budget, dietary restrictions, and preferences. They went above and beyond. At the end of our main course they asked how our food

Upon my return on two evenings, I found the service, ambiance, and food exquisite both times. Admittedly, we may have received special service by paying extra for a curated menu in a private room, but Valter's pulled it off nicely.
I found this place on several "where to eat in SLC" lists.
It is definitely a happening place, even on a Wednesday night. As we waited for our table to be ready, we saw many individuals coming in and hugging the host and hostess. After seated we received a complimentary bruschetta which was delicious. We we
Outstanding Italian restaurant in downtown Salt Lake City.
Service was impeccable and our waiter very knowledgeable. Table side preparation of select dishes adds some ambience. Bruschetta was phenomenal, pasta sampler is what they're known for and was great. Outstanding choice for a business dinner.
SLC top Italian and one of my favorite overall dining experiences
One of the best Restaurants in Utah. A fine dining experience not to be missed. If you are looking fine dining in Utah, this is the place (pun intended). The feeling is classic upscale. The service is spectacular. The food choices are unrivaled for
The BEST restaurant in SLC!
I have been going to Valter’s for years and every time I am blown away by my experience. The food is top notch and the staff are beyond accommodating and professional. I have noticed that it’s the same waiters/waitresses for the past 10 years, th
Drop the mic!!
A true Osteria in Utah. Who would have thought? If you're looking for overly portioned American Italian fare, this is not the place (see the 1 star reviews). However, if you seek every mouthful to be a burst of flavor and new experience you
Amazing experience!
This was an amazing experience! They were able to squeeze us in without a reservation, and the service was perfect. Every bite we had was delicious, we couldn't eat another bite!
Not the Standards Valter had started.
Service was excellent. Went down hill from there. Bread had been frozen then baked. Falling apart by the time it came to our table. Food was late, late coming from the kitchen. Exchanged one platter ..food not tasting as described on the menu. Table
Mediocre dining with sky high prices.
Just back from an anniversary dinner with my husband. I don't get it. The place was packed with diners in spite of mediocre food, up-selling by the server and sky high prices. The caesar salad was a gloppy mess, the chicken was fine (enough b
Outstanding service and wonderful food!
Visited Valter's Osteria for a business dinner with out of town guests. From the moment we walked into the restaurant, we were all very impressed. Chris was our outstanding waiter and he recommended the Tasting Menu, which exceeded each person
The Anchor in The Salt Lake
I saw Valter's as one of the "best of" places on one of the food network shows a couple of weeks before I knew I was going to be in SLC. When the plans firmed up, I made reservations for dinner on the first night in town. (Pro Tip: m
I've wanted to come here for years.
Figured my 30th birthday was a perfect time to come. This restaurant is beautiful and elegant. The servers were professional and the food was fabulous. We ordered two different salads, the sampler plate, a carbonara and the lemon gelato. On top of th

Absolutely, amazing! It was my first time to Valter's Osteria, but, certainly not my last. I had the pleasure of dining with a friend who comes here quite frequently. We started with an amazing Caesar salad prepared table-side with an amazing dress
This restaurant lived up to expectations.
Everyone is right this is an amazing place. The service was excellent & the food was delicious. Also the ambiance was very pleasant.

We brought some out of state visitors here expecting the same experience we had come to expect over many years and left very disappointed. What happened!? The only good part of the meal was the wine selection and the ravioli sampler. Who on earth m
Amazing dinner
Good, service, ambiance and price are the best combination ever, we had the best meal in our second visit. Arturo and all his staff are amazing and everything is perfectly taken care of at all times. A pleasure to go out to this restaurant.
Bravo!
We were in town for a conference, and I found the original owner’s picture endearing in my restaurant search. We assumed the restaurant was an authentic casual place, but when we showed up, we felt underdressed. I told my friend that it didn’t re
Best Italian I have had in years. And it was gluten free.
Excellent fresh gluten free pasta. Most all items on the menu can be made GF. Drinks, wine, apps, entrees and services were all excellent!!
The pasta is amazing.
. they had a lemocello pasta that i still think about. The atmosphere is great... the service is excellent! we loved it!!!
Simply outstanding!!!
Got there right at 5:30 scored a seat at the bar Eduardo was on duty he puts on quite the show making drinks and providing excellent customer service. Luis took my order and started off with outstanding bruschetta the tomatoes are so fresh and flavo
Came here because I was recommended by so many people.
It was delicious but I felt like it was overpriced. The homemade bread was delicious and they offered hot chocolate after the meal too. However the hot coco was sooo thick I felt like I was drinking brownie mix.
Tradition and superb birthday meal!
Impeccable service, and our dinners were wonderful! I loved the traditional atmosphere and forgot to purchase a cookbook. A definite second visit when we are back in SLC.
Great atmosphere, service, and food.
Had a wonderful meal for our daughters 23rd birthday. Seated right away on a beautiful table with white linens and roses. Everything was spot on and service was outstanding. Worth the drive if your not in SLC.
10/10.
Amazing atmosphere and to die for food. The sampler is a perfect dish to get a taste of everything. The lemon gelato is something i dream about.
Excellent veal - great flavored sauce.
Seafood was a bit disappointing in quality. Overall, would go back but avoid seafood.
Wow!!! It was so good we went back the next night!
Wow!!! It was so good we went back the next night! Incredible!! We had the house wine the first night, very nice. The second night we had Lee's Lemon drop. Fantastic! Lee is the bar tender (she's from Chicago area. So are we) she was killin it alone

Our annual Go-To for Superior Italian Cuisine!
This place is the real deal! From menu to service. Everything 6 Star! Giovanni was our Server again this year. He’s a Fan Favorite…… exceptional knowledge of the menu and its preparation. You have to have the pasta appetizer sampler to start. I
Tripadvisors parameters suck
My wife and I chose Valter's for 25 Anniversary celeb. Food, amazing, atmosphere was garbage.
Delicious food, great atmosphere…we picked the short straw on our server.
This is a great spot for Italian in SLC! Sooo much better than Veneto which we ate at a week or so ago. Loved the atmosphere. The food was delicious. We shared a Caesar which was prepared tableside…sort of. We had to encourage our server to be fron
So So
I should have believed the other underwhelmed reviews on this page. We flew to SLC for a special event so wanted a special dinner to highlight the event. The atmosphere and service were outstanding. My husband and I each had an appetizer, entree, and

My meal was very good but expected to be better based on the rating/ranking and the reviews. The cocktails were a great added surprise.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Valter's Osteria Salt Lake City at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Valter's Osteria Salt Lake City page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Valter's Osteria Salt Lake City to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Valter's Osteria Salt Lake City!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
