I Heart Salt Lake: Cannella's

Since 1978, Cannella's has been serving up great Italian comfort food. It's been a favorite lunch spot of mine for at least 25 of those years. It's affordable, consistent and always delicious. Over the years, Cannella's has slowly made some changes by adding dinner and then a lounge/bar area but they never comprised on their food or portions.

A few favorites on the lunch menu include: Rigatoni with a house made meatball, chicken parmesan, or Turkey tetrazzini. All come with garlic bread and a side salad. I love their house dressing - a combo of Italian and bleu cheese.

Dinner has a lot of options too. Pasta, chicken, fish, beef - it's all good. For dessert, you can't miss with the chocolate beet cake.

A little tip to make it easy for you: order lunch at the counter when you arrive, find a seat and it will be delivered to your table. Dinner is regular dining service.
