Their hearts were set on bringing the experience of dining in Cortona, a town in Tuscany, to the mountains of Park City, Utah. While the outside of the restaurant looks mundane, the food you will taste is quite the opposite. With only 41 seats available to dine, the restaurant is quaint, romantic, and inviting. Fresh pasta and sauces will make your mouth water and the ambiance will charm you immediately. If you haven’t visited Italy, you will be able to say you have enjoyed a true, authentic Italian cuisine. “Buon appetito!”
