About Strada

Strada brings the heart and quality of Matteo, Salt Lake’s beloved, family-run Italian restaurant—straight to the streets of your neighborhood. Same ingredients, same passion, with a friendlier price and a fresher pace.

Strada means “street” in Italian—perfect for a place that celebrates handmade food on Broadway, Salt Lake’s historic main street.

More about us

“This is more than just a sandwich shop. It’s about sharing the joy and togetherness of our family’s food with the people of Salt Lake.”

— Matteo Sogne, Owner of Strada and Matteo Ristorante

Signature Bites

Authentic Italian

House-Made Panini

Every sandwich at Strada is handcrafted daily using the highest-quality ingredients—some prepared in-house, others sourced directly from Italy: Baked-from-scratch ciabatta (courtesy of Matteo’s mom, Manuela), Roasted-in-house pork and sausage, Imported Italian charcuterie, Fresh sauces and crisp vegetables

Pasta, Your Way

Choose from seven types of house-made pasta and pair it with one of six from-scratch sauces, including classic marinara, creamy Alfredo, and bold Bolognese. A fully customizable Italian bowl experience.

Salad Bowls

Fresh, satisfying, and full of flavor—our salads and bowls are built for those craving something a little lighter (but just as delicious). Each one is balanced, bright, and made to fuel your day.

Desserts Made Fresh Daily

Canoli fillings change daily, but what remains constant is the delectable freshness of these sweet treats made from scratch by Matteo’s mom. Gelato lovers will be treated to rotating flavors from a hand-selected gelateria in Chicago that meets Strada’s standards.

Antipasti to Share

Start your meal with favorite, shareable antipasti items from Matteo’s menu and kitchen. Choose between the decadent, melt-in-your-mouth whipped brie or the classic, hearty polpette (meatballs).

A Family Affair

Food at Strada isn’t just cooked — it’s crafted by family

Matteo’s mom, Manuela, bakes fresh ciabatta each morning. His dad, Enzo, helps welcome guests throughout the day. Much of the menu is prepared in Matteo’s kitchen and brought to Strada. Plates are even made by a longtime friend.
