Salt Lake City｜What to Eat Besides Chinese Food? 👉🏻 BASTA Pasteria

Hey Salt Lake City foodies, have you explored all the Chinese restaurants already? Time to try something different! 😄 This restaurant is located in the Fashion Place plaza and only opened last year—it’s a super down-to-earth pasta spot. Back then, I wasn’t really into pasta, so I hesitated a bit before going in. But after trying it, I realized… pasta can be THIS good?! 😲💖 And the prices are great too—each pasta dish is around $20, the portions are generous, and they even serve their homemade focaccia bread on the house! 🥖✨ Whether you’re already a pasta lover or new to Italian cuisine, this place is worth a visit. Perfect for a satisfying meal after shopping at Fashion Place! 🛍️🍴 My absolute favorite is the ​​Amatriciana Rigatoni​​—if you love red sauce, you can’t miss this! Their tomato sauce is perfectly balanced, not too acidic or sweet. They use bacon instead of traditional guanciale, which might not be totally authentic but oh-so-delicious 😭❤️. Another red sauce standout: ​​Pappardelle Bolognese​​—wide noodles paired with tender, slow-cooked beef. A whole different vibe! 🐄🍅 For white sauce fans, try the ​​Pappardelle Don Pino​​ with black truffle. The truffle cuts through the richness, so it never feels heavy or overwhelming by the last bite. 🍄🤍 And don’t forget the ​​Pistachio Pizza​​—a must-order every time! It’s super thin-crust Italian pizza with pesto sauce blended with pistachio and topped with crushed pistachios. If you’re a pistachio lover, just go for it! 🍕😍 Address: 6157 S State St, Murray, UT 84107 #SaltLakeCityEats #SLCFood #HiddenRestaurantGems #EatAroundTheWorld #PastaLover #UtahEats #RestaurantRecommendation #ItalianCuisine #FoodieAdventure #ComfortFood
