Rank 1. Scelto
Italian
Fresh pasta rolled in-house daily anchors the menu at this casually upscale Italian restaurant in Sandy. The room lands somewhere between date night and neighborhood staple, where charcuterie boards make a reasonable case for never ordering a main course. Bone-in ribeye and seared scallops with saffron emulsion suggest the kitchen is happy to range past the pasta, which is admirable restraint given how good the pasta is.

Snowbird averages 500 inches of snow a year, and The Cliff Lodge sits right in the middle of it, ski-in, ski-out against the jagged Wasatch peaks. It's a four-season mountain resort, so summer brings aerial tram rides and snowshoeing gives way to hiking, but winter is the main event. Expert runs and heli-skiing attract the serious crowd, though nearly a third of the trails are beginner-friendly for those who prefer their adrenaline at a lower dose.

Rank 3. Libertango Steakhouse
Argentine Steakhouse
An Argentine steakhouse in Sandy where the wood-fired grill does most of the talking. The menu reads like a serious commitment to South American beef culture, with Wagyu cuts, house-made sausages, and mixed parilla platters sized for a group who came hungry. Empanadas make a sensible start, and the lamb chops and Kurobuta pork keep things interesting for anyone not there purely for the beef. The rustic décor leans into the theme without apologizing for it.
