If I had to pick a favorite cuisine, it would most definitely be Italian so Caffe Molise is obviously one of my very favorite restaurants downtown! It features a menu full of traditional dishes from Northern Italy and has an extensive wine list from that region, as well. Caffe Molise has a simple and casual decor featuring the work of local artists or you can opt for the patio during warmer months. I like to eat here before seeing productions at Capitol Theatre but it is equally appropriate for a casual dinner after work.
I like just about everything on the menu but I highly recommend the lasagne ($15.95). It features layers of pasta, Italian sausage, seasoned beef, ricotta, Asiago, and marinara. It is delicious!
Definitely save some room for dessert (if you can!). I became a fan of Tiramisu on a trip to Italy several years ago and Caffe Molise has an excellent version but I usually opt for the Dark Chocolate Cake ($6.95). It is quite possibly the most decadent chocolate cake I have ever had! It is dense and chocolaty, with just a hint of cinnamon!
Caffe Molise is located in the heart of downtown SLC at 55 West 100 South (near the Salt Lake Convention Center). It is open Monday - Thursday: 10:30 am - 9:00 pm, Friday - Saturday: 10:30 am - 10:00 pm, and Sunday: 10:30 am - 9:00 pm. Most entrees are reasonably priced under $30.00.
