On Tuesday we were invited to attend a dinner party at Vinto Pizzeria with several other Salt Lake food bloggers by the ever charming Becky Rosenthal of The Vintage Mixer. We were able to sit with some wonderful, and very knowledgeable foodies including Heather King of SLC Lunches, Mike Hollopeter of Foodie from Scratch, and Ryan Kendrick of SLC Eats.
Our entire experience at Vinto was fabulous. The owners and chefs were friendly. The entire restaurant was designed for efficiency. The dishes were delicious. The desserts were heavenly. We feel that we can't give this a typical cheap eats review, because our six course meal comprised of thirteen dishes would certainly not fall in the under $10 category, however, I'm sure we'll be back soon so that we can review our cheaper dining experience.
A few highlights from our meal:
Sorrel soup with potato and cream
Grilled artichokes with wild arugula and shallot vinaigrette
Tuttabella pizza with housemade spicy sausage, caramelized onion, fresh tomato, garlic, roasted peppers, fontina, and fior di latte mozzarella
Patate pizza with sliced yukon potato, fontina and goat cheese, rosemary, wild arugula, and white truffle oil
Vanilla Gelato with Viola extra virgin olive oil and grey sea salt
Butterscotch Budino with salted caramel sauce and whipped cream - pure joy!
While our main goal of writing SLC Cheap Eats has been to inform people of great spots around the city, one of the other big goals was to try to get some free food out of this, so a huge thanks to the Vintage Mixer and Vinto Pizzeria.
If you haven't tried Vinto, you ought to. You won't be disappointed.
You lucky ducks! That all looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they serve a proper potato pizza. We'll have to give it a shot.
ReplyDeleteSo great meeting both of you! I think one of the greatest things about Vinto is the value of what you get- fresh tasty ingredients for very reasonable prices. A great fit for slc cheap eats :)
ReplyDeleteThe sorrel and potato soup along with the orange infused pasta were my two favorites of the evening!
