I Heart Salt Lake: Lugano Restaurant

One of my favorite things about Italy are all the quaint restaurants, the kind that make you feel like you stumbled on an Italian secret. The same goes for Lugano. The Italian restaurant is nestled in a quiet East Millcreek neighborhood, where chef and owner, Greg Neville lets you in on the secret of fresh Italian fare.

Lugano specializes in Northern Italian dishes, using locally grown produce and the freshest ingredients around. Neville is very hands on and is continually updating the menu to reflect the season.

With dishes like killer braised short ribs, torched pears, and gnocchi made in house, it's no secret Lugano wins numerous dining awards each year.
