Tucci's Cucina Italiana

If you are heading down to Salt Lake City make sure to stop by Tucci's Cucina Italiana for delicious Italian food. Tucci's is perfect if your looking for an authentic Italian atmosphere without the steep bill to follow.

Most dishes average around $14 with a wide variety of antipasti, insalate, zuppe, pizza, and pasta. Their signature dishes are a great place to start. My personal favorite is the Butternut Squash Ravioli and the Shrimp Puttanesca. They offer many specialty dishes, native to Italy, nightly. Tucci's fine wine list is lengthy with many Italian favorites as well as a large selection of beers and many other drinks.

In the summertime feel the warm evening air with romantically lit outdoor dining on the patio. The interior holds a unique Italian feel with soft music and subdued lighting. If your lucky you might get a visit from Papa Tucci himself during your meal.

Tucci's is perfect for a romatic date, a night out, or a meal with the family. They offer a kids menu and crayons to draw on the paper covered tables and privite booths for parites of 2.

Tucci's is located at 515 South 700 East in Salt Lake City.
