"We went to Cafe Molise for a work dinner. None of us had been there before. The food was great, the wine was great, the service was great. Everyone was buzzing about how awesome everthing tasted. We will definitely come back for professional and personal experiences."

"It's hard to go wrong with Caffe Molise. The food is top-notch every time, and I have never experienced bad service. Can be busy if there's a convention in town, but it's always worth checking. Open Table reservation was seamless."

"The food and service are good and there is an outdoor patio. I needed to arrange business lunches/dinner and it was within a block of the convention. I would certainly go back"

"Highy Recommend! Great, simple Italian dishes combined with a local art gallery interior and a beautiful outdoor patio make this place great for any occasion! I've had just about everything on the menu and I love it all, but the house-smoked salmon eggs benedict is my favorite."

"My wife and I went to Caffe Molise this past weekend, enjoyed the bacon and cheese appetizer special, split the Arista (amazing pork with fig sauce), then split a cheesecake and hazlenut mousse cake. The food was great and sitting outdoors made the night a special one. We would definitely recommend Caffe Molise (and have) to friends."

"Caffe Molise was a great space for a large family dinner. We went on a Saturday night so the restaurant was quite busy with other customers. We were seated outdoors on their lovely patio dining area. We had a wonderful server and food was ready, hot and delicious in what seemed like very little time for such a large group (15). The ambience on the patio is very nice. We did have a couple of small children with us and the wait staff was very good about splitting a lasagne dish between the two. Overall, this was a great experience and I will definitely be back."

"One of my favorite restaurants in SLC - I am an avid diner. The food is always prepared with care, service is always friendly and spot-on, and when the weather is warm....nothing beats the outdoor patio. A true GEM!"

"I've dined at Caffe Molise several times and really enjoy the experience. This last evening was much busier than usual and the place was packed. The staff did a good job of taking our order and serving promptly. The food was fabulous. The halibut special was a tad salty, but the texture was perfect. A great meal. The only downside was a loud crowd of women celebrating in the back. They were a bit overwhelming."

"Food and service was very good. Unfortunately, there was a large group, probably from a conference in town, that were very loud and crowding our 'personal space'. It was nearly impossible to carry on our own conversation. I realize that management cannot control such situations, but it made our dining experience very unpleasant. If we were to ever dine here again, I would probably call ahead to see if we could expect a more 'romantic' atmosphere for the evening. We had to leave early so not able to enjoy the live entertainment."

"Needed a "close-to-Utah-Opera" dinner place and wanted to check out something else than our "usual" haunts --- what a gem we found in Café Molise! The food was outstanding (the caper-sauce over the moist, tender, "just-right" salmon was beyond description!), the wine was superb, the service was friendly yet unobtrusive. I was with my 12-year-old daughter - she adored the place! Refined, yet casual!"

"Lovely menu and food, traditionally European serving size (smaller than US), mid-range price, attentive service without obsequiousness. We enjoyed it very much and look forward to returning."

"Excellent food, very good service, and a jazz band --what more can you ask for! We've eaten here previously and have never been disappointed. Caffe Molise also has an excellent outdoor dining area with a water feature. Not something we were able to enjoy in March, but looking forward to it during warmer months."

"Amazing food, well worth the prices. The pork however did seem to be a little under cooked, but it was still really good with the sauce it came with. Everything else was perfect. I will definitely recommend Caffe Molise and eat here again."

"We were seated join the overflow area next to the local art shop where there were 5 tables. We were the only people seated here A couple who arrived directly before us without a reservation were seated in the main dining room. We felt isolated and odd in this room. Since we took the time to make a reservation we should have been given a preference."

"Always great food and the specials add enough interest to keep you coming back. The quality of the service is first rate with enough attention to meet your needs and enough privacy to allow your dinner conversation to proceed. Great seasonal patio."

"We were seated promptly and enjoyed our pre-theatre meal at a nice pace without being rushed. The fish special of the day was perfectly cooked and a nice balance of salmon, asparagus and pasta. Always save room for dessert here as the Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Cake is the most popular item on the menu. It's large enough to share but you won't want to."

"the service was very good, the staff could not be nicer. the food was not nearly as good as other reviews i saw. it was fine, nothing wrong with it but certainly nothing special. in fact, less than a week later i can not remember a single dish that my wife or i ordered, i.e. nothing memorable."

"We had a group of 6 people for a business lunch. The food was excellent and the server gave the right amount of attention not to disrupt our discussions. The music was a little loud when we got there, but was turned down without us asking.
I had the papardelle with meat and was very pleased. I would dine at Caffe Mollise (and recommend to others) the next time I am in Salt Lake City."

"This is one of my favorite restaurants in SLC! The food is always amazing! The even have a live band that plays on weekends. The only thing I wish they would change is the tables and chairs. The chairs are hard wood so they aren't very comfortable to sit on."

"While I've been a fan of Caffe Molise for many years I hadn't had the opportunity to try their brunch menu until recently. I was beyond impressed with my Anacardi Tostata which was battered in a Frangelico/cashew coating. It was not only incredibly yummy but beautifully plated as well. The Bloody Marys on the menu are also of the highest caliber and taste homemade and not like they were poured from a can. I would recommend Caffe Molise's brunch to any foodie and I'll definitely be back with friends."

"Simply one of the very best Italian meals I've ever had the pleasure to experience. I was having trouble deciding between a couple of the chicken entrees and my server recommended the Polla alla Gratella and I couldn't have had better advice! If I've ever had a more delicious chicken entree in an Italian restaurant I honestly I can't recall. The menu was full of other dishes, both appetizers and entrees, that I look forward to trying on other occasions. The ambiance was simply lovely and the service was outstanding, in spite of the fact that it was full and packed with people waiting for a table. Overall a fabulous meal and truly delightful dining experience, I can't recommend this enough!"
