Café Trio - Salt Lake City

Pretty little place but the food seemed pretty average. We had the pomodoro turkey avocado melt to-go and they were okay but pretty average

Great restaurant in a casual atmosphere. We ordered the house salad, meatball appetizer, sausage pizza, pasta pomodo and the chocolate pudding. Each dish was delicious. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

Birthday lunch with excellent service on the patio. No reservations but we were there at 11:30, after that it got quite busy. I’d recommend reservations. We had BBQ chicken pizza, Italian sausage pizza and Lemon chicken salad. Everything was made to order and delicious….the pizzas are very large, definitely something to share or take home leftovers. We had plum sorbet which looked just like vanilla ice cream and tasted good but definitely not what we expected as a sorbet. It was creamy with very little to no plum flavor. There’s plenty of parking, handicap friendly, clean and a wood fire pizza oven.

The receptionist squeezed us in at a busy time and our young waiter was very solicitous and attentive. I had scampi with capers and wine on pasta which was all I had hoped, and my friend had the pasta bolognese which he thought was really good. We would definitely return. On top of the regular tip, I gave our waiter $20 and told him he was “ exceptional.”

The staff here is wonderful and beautiful, friendly and perfectly attentive. Not overly attentive.The ambiance is an elevated ikea cafeteria, the sounds travel well and everything is high quality. IKEA vibes are kinda strange but I realize this is a cafe so it gets a pass.The appetizers arrived, grain salad and cauliflower. So yummy and wonderful, just perfect. The entrees came and I was immeasurably disappointed. I got the steak which came pretty cut as if I was in a sizzler or something. The meat was a little over cooked for a med rare order and dry and lackluster. It was the highest priced item on the menu : Truly a dead steak.My friend got the shrimp scampi, looked beautiful in the plate but I was kind of expecting home made pasta for some reason and I could tell by looking at it that it was over cooked the pasta that is, apparently it was yummy but subpar, tomatoes in the off season?)Friends went out of their way to tell me to eat here.I would come back for wine and apps... but actually probably not.Things are harder during a pandemic and there is room for improvement.
