Strada Cucina Italiana Expands with Evening Dinners

Strada Cucina Italiana, a beloved restaurant in Salt Lake City, has expanded its offerings to include dinner service, offering diners a chance to experience the rich flavors of Italian cuisine in a new, intimate setting.

Launched a year ago, Strada initially focused on lunch, providing quick, casual meals with an Italian twist. Now, the restaurant has transformed its space to welcome evening patrons with a more refined and sophisticated atmosphere. According to the restaurant's founder, Matteo Sogne, this dual-concept approach aims to cater to a wider range of diners, whether they are seeking a relaxed lunch or a special dinner.

The new dinner menu at Strada features a variety of traditional Italian dishes, including antipasti, pasta, and meats. Guests can enjoy starters like savory whipped brie and polpette, followed by main courses such as ravioli del giorno, classic manicotti, and Portofino-style risotto. For those looking for a more substantial meal, there are options like the New York strip bistecca and tender braised lamb. Each dish is crafted to transport diners to the heart of Modena, Italy, combining comfort and tradition.

Matteo Sogne, the founder of Strada, emphasizes the commitment to quality that has been at the core of his restaurant's success. "Strada is the fun 1980s colorful Riviera Sister to the Northern Italian-inspired Matteo," he said. "While the food is excellent in both restaurants, Strada offers a more casual and colorful vibe, different from the intimate luxury at Matteo, and is the perfect balance for a casual family dinner out, a lighthearted pasta and glass of wine after work, or a fun celebration with friends."

During the day, Strada continues to offer its popular lunch menu, featuring handcrafted paninis, classic pasta dishes, and fresh salads. Sandwiches are made daily with high-quality ingredients and ciabatta bread baked fresh by Matteo's mother. The restaurant's focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients and thoughtful craftsmanship is evident in both the morning and evening menus.

Strada's hours are as follows: lunch from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and dinner from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays. The restaurant, located in downtown Salt Lake City, is dedicated to bringing the tastes of Italy to the community. With its modern Italian fast-casual experience during the day and intimate Italian dining experience by night, Strada Cucina Italiana is a welcoming space for any occasion.
