American cuisine dominates the Wasatch dining scene, with great steaks, barbecue, and traditional Western fare. There's also an abundance of good seafood, which the busier eateries fly in daily from the West Coast. Park City caters to a discriminating clientele with upscale restaurants ranging from Swiss to Japanese, French, and Mexican. Restaurant hours vary seasonally, so it's a good idea to call ahead. Reservations are always a good idea, but are essential during winter holiday weekends and the Sundance Film Festival. Ask about two-for-ones. Park City restaurants offer great deals, such as two-for-one entrées from spring to fall, so check the local newspaper for coupons or ask your concierge which eateries are offering discounts.
This family-friendly restaurant claims to have the best pizza and bagels in the state, and they may not be far off. The wood-fired pizza oven cooks to perfection, and bagel sandwiches, available throughout the day, hit the spot. Plentiful outdoor seating is a great way to enjoy the summer sun. The interior has many rooms, and brown paper tablecloths, with crayons provided, will entertain the kids.
This Main Street staple has delighted guests since the mid-1990s with a modern Italian menu in an airy café with the best patio in town. The restaurant serves well-prepared pasta and seafood dishes using only fresh ingredients for lunch and dinner. Good picks include the veal Bolognese with pappardelle pasta or herb-breaded Utah trout with citrus butter.
Heavy floor tiles, rustic bricks, and exposed timbers lend a warm, rustic farmhouse feel to this romantic spot. The menu offers appetizers, such as a grape-and-Gorgonzola salad with roasted walnuts, and hearty entrées, like Roman-style chicken, osso bucco, and horseradish-encrusted salmon.
Located between the Swaner Preserve and a swath of shops, this casual Italian eatery is popular with locals and welcomes the late-night crowd. Nearly 2 feet in diameter, the "Fat Kid" pizzas will remind you of something you might see in Brooklyn or the Bronx—the "Goodfella" veggie pizza or the "Italian Stallion" meat-lovers version. The house-made pastas and chicken Parmesan rival the pizzas as fan favorites. Sports fans enjoy the many TVs that always have games on.
