When Caputo’s opened in 1997, locals were just developing their love for bringing imported foods home to prepare. Until then, Granato’s was just about the only option for olive oils, Italian meats and cheeses and European specialties. Caputo’s further broadened shopping options and also offered lunch from their deli. Now at the center of a hip food gathering (Bruges, Carlucci’s and Ekamai) Caputo’s has become nationally known for its cheese cave, chocolate classes, inventive dinner options and more.
But what keeps Utahns coming in the door year after year is the deli (and the shopping). Fantastic salads and sandwiches, including the Caputo ($4.25 half/$8.25 full) with cheese, prosciutto, mortadella, salami and the Soprano ($4.85/$8.25) with cacao di roma cheese, capolcollo, and a red pepper spread are regular favorites. The Caprese salad ($6.35 small/$8.25 large) is truly amazing. The fresh mozzarella and tomatoes and basil make this a simple standout.
For many years, I’ve searched for the best muffaletta in Utah. I try them everywhere I see them on the menu: Bayou, Granato’s, etc. Well, the hands-down winner is Caputo’s. Everyone else can just throw down their olive spread/salad and go home. The generous olive and pepper mixture complement the salami, ham, mortadella and cheese perfectly.
Tony Caputo and his son Matt have brought something special to Salt Lake in the form of Caputo’s Market & Deli. Try it for lunch, dinner or to purchase something special from the cheese cave. Matt is the master of cheese and extremely approachable with any questions you might have.
