About this business
This is a quaint Italian restaurant, just across the street from the Salt Lake City and County Building and the downtown Salt Lake City Public Library. After a day of browsing books, stop in for a great meal. It is a perfect place for business lunches as well because of its intimate atmosphere.

I really like it! – I am so confuse by the reviews here. I am from NY where Italian food is everywhere, and it's great. I have enjoyed every meal here, and we eat here very often. My husband also enjoys the food here. I find it flavorful and not at all like processed food! I think the salad could use more types of lettuce, but has lots of veggies, those yummy beets and the house dressing is killer. I love the cheese and bread plate. I often order specials or chicken picatta, also the ravioli. They are always great. I also lo... read more
Not worth it – I do not recommend this restaurant. The salad was plain lettuce leaves and the waitress did not get us dressing even when we asked twice. It was a little busy, but thats still no excuse. My hubby got a sandwich and I got an angel hair pasta dish. Both entrees were very bland. What a waste of money!!
Great ambiance, subpar pasta – First time eatint at Cannella's and mine and the gf's experience was a disappointment. The decor and ambiance were amicable. We started our meal with a risotto cake appetizer that was pretty good and the service was friendly. Next came our salad and it was downhill from there. Iceberg lettuce? come on and the balsamic vinaigrette was all oil and a drop of balsamic vinegar, sadly. Next came our pasta, I had the spaghetti with meatballs and the noodles were over cooked and the marinara sauce was ... read more
Avoid eating here!!!!!!! – You call this Italian! This place is terrible. The sauce taste like it came froma can, the manicotti tasted frozen and the service while friendly is disinterested at best. If this is what you call italian, I will eat a frozen lasagna, which is probably what they serve. Never again. While this food may have been adequate around the dinner table at home, it is not worth any price in a restaurant, no matter how large the servings. Eat at Michaelanglo's instead, the best italian in the city.
Best Italian in Salt Lake – We discovered Cannella's last March on my boyfriend's birthday. Since then we have returned at least five times with family and friends or just us. This place is wonderful; I feel like it's Salt Lake's best kept secret! The food is fabulous and the staff is incredibly friendly and outgoing. In fact, they remember us each time we come in, even if it's been a couple months. Our favorite dishes include the bruschetta, veal piccata, lasagna, manicotti, anything with meatballs, and the tira misu! They ... read more
Are these 5-star reviewers crazy? – This is some of the *worst* Italian food in town. The one reviewer who called out the iceberg lettuce in the salads (who uses iceberg anymore?!?!) was spot-on. I've been there 3 times...the garlic bread is made with straight-up margarine (trans-fat, anyone?) and the manicotti is probably the worst I've ever had. I not only eat Italian food often but I'm a very good cook and I wouldn't take my worst enemy to Cannella's, as I'm afraid it would probably hurt my reputation! I hate to admit it,... read more
Pleasant staff even when very busy – I've eaten at Cannella's several times and never been disappointed. Our last visit was during the Jazz festival when the place was packed. Our waitress couldn't have been more accommodating, keeping a sense of humor and seating us as fast as possible. We always look forward to returning to Cannella's. It's an authentic family restaurant with a welcoming staff.
Processed and tasteless food – I've eaten here three times and it's been about the same every time. The salads are made with straight-up iceberg lettuce and since they've done their remodel, the prices have gone up considerably.
Local Italian with a deceiving menu. – We had our doubts when we arrived, the menu seemed small and, well. typical. After being told about some off menu specials we ordered Chicken Marsala and the Seafood Marinera. After some mix ups with the wrong salads we received our meals which were deceivingly large portions. The food has a real home cooked flavor, and definitely not typical. The seafood marinera had a ample amount of seafood. It seemed to be understaffed for the amount of people in the restaurant on a friday and this ... read more
