Piastra On Gallivan Plaza

Ordered chicken parmigiana. Order came out fast. Maybe too fast. Sauce was bland, the top part of the breading wasn't crisp and lacked taste. The bottom was another story. The spaghetti was served on the same plate and was not drained properly, causing very soggy breading. Chicken was cooked perfectly. No garlic bread served with this classic Italian meal. There was also no salad as part of the meal. They weren't busy. The atmosphere is nice and casual. Presentation of the meal was great and the mozzarella cheese topping was a bonus.

We recently had a burger and a pizza here. The pizza was excellent. I had the margarita pizza and the crust was thin and super crispy. The flavors were very fresh with the crushed and roasted tomatoes and cheese. The burger was very good - messy and good. Our server was very attentive and helpful. We had lunch there and it was nice and quiet so we could talk easily. Good restaurant at the hotel, would eat there again.

Friendly, relaxed atmosphere. The pasta and chicken was so delicious!! The service was really friendly, kept my cup filled, and the food didn't take long to come out The only thing I would add, or suggest adding, would be turning up the music a bit, and the lights a little lower. 😎 Just my type of vibe. There's two separate TVs for sports, booths, and various sizes of tables, and individual chairs and a sofa for lounging near the fire. If you are staying at the Marriott, I highly recommend dining here. 😎

We were eating out in Salt Lake City since 1999 and over the years posted reviews for multiple restaurants during our stays. Last reviews reflect our stay in SLC over holidays in this Dec 2022. We visited multiple restaurants and had major disappointments in each of them. Except for Piastra. We always come back to Piastra to remind ourselves what good quality is. This restaurant located in Marriott City Center is absolutely the best in town in my view. Every entry we had during our 2 week stay was great. I am puzzled why other restaurants we visited in the city - from mid level to exclusive Spencer’s steak house could not be even close to Piastra in the Marriott. I highly recommend this place for both excellent food and great quality of waiter service. Marriott remains a true benchmark for
