First things first: if you’re not looking for Visconti House, you’re not going to find it. Snuggled back from the main road in Holladay, not far from City Hall, it feels like you’re heading up into a residential neighborhood. Tucked back away from the road, the Visconti House is quiet, discrete, and cozy. I visited for lunch, and while there were a couple other patrons in the very small dinning room, they soon left, and I and my lunch appointment were left alone. Italian opera played from speakers that were turned up just a tad too loud when we entered, but when we asked the waitress had no problem tuning them to a more comfortable level. With wood floors that creaked when walked upon, small white tables set for two, and a room not much larger than the living room in any home, the atmosphere was comfortable and almost intimate. As for the food, I enjoyed the spaghetti with sausage, though it was nothing that left me more than satisfied. The sausage itself was delicious, though, and made the meal well worth it. We were served bread and salads before hand with a house dressing of some type of balsamic vinegar. My companion ordered the tortellini, and while he said he enjoyed it, he did not seem very impressed, either. With lunch entrees costing about $ 8 to $ 10, the menu affordable enough that I would like to return again, at least once, to try it again. Because it’s close to home, for me, it would make a good stop for a quick date when time is short.

I went with both vegeterians and meat eaters. We all found wonderful food to order. It takes a while to get served but the food is so fresh it’s well worth the wait. Just take a bottle of wine in with you and have a drink or two while waiting to be served. My group loved everything. We’ll certainly go back.

This place doesn’t even deserve one star — if you are vegetarian DONOTGOHERE! Both the owner and the head chef don’t know what vegetarian means and you will end up with beef or chicken in your meal, regardless of what you’ve specified while ordering

This place has some great potential. It’s a very odd setting that needs some work but i could see it getting better. Hostess/Waitress was brand new and didn’t seem to know much about the menu or food, but was willing to find out as long as we asked questions. Food took a while as everything is prepared from scratch. It was well worth the wait. The spinach manicotti was served at 10000000 degrees and was fantastic. Smaller portion sizes which is good for me, and pretty decently priced. I’ll certainly go back and hope it stays around long enough to evolve into something great.

Mind you, I went last fall, so things may have changed. It’s tiny, so I hope you don’t mind being close to your neighbors. The location is in an office plaza, if you’re not paying attention, you will probably miss it. There was only one person working front of house, so I hope you’re not in a hurry. That said, the food was spectacular. I had a special, cannelloni with a tomato cream sauce, my man had the lasagna. Both dishes were better than you could hope for. Like homemade without the dishes and the prep. We left stuffed and have gone on and on about this place. I need to get back there.
