Zucca Trattoria Market & Deli Brings a Taste of Italy to Northern Utah

Zucca Trattoria has now opened the Zucca Market & Deli. Located inside Zucca Trattoria, the Market & Deli offers a selection of Italian and Southern European foods in Northern Utah. Fine Italian, French and Spanish imports such as olive oils, pastas, sauces, and chocolates are now being offered to provide an authentic European food experience to Northern Utah residents.

The meats and cheeses available at the Zucca Market & Deli are provided by Tony Caputo’s Market & Deli – Salt Lake City’s leading purveyor of distinctive Regional Italian and Southern European foods. Cheese aficionados will appreciate the vast selection of cheeses directly from Caputo’s state of the art cheese cave—one of only a handful in the country.

Zucca Market & Deli offers a selection of sandwiches and salads created by Chef Elio, such as the popular “Zucca” sandwich that includes Prosciutto, mortadella, salami, provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, balsamic and olive oil.

“We wanted to create a place where people could experience the great flavors from Italy and Southern Europe,” said Elio Scanu, Chef and owner of Zucca Trattoria. “Whether it’s one of our sandwiches with authentic meats and cheeses or a traditional caprese salad, Zucca Market & Deli offers a taste of authentic Italian food.”

Tuscany Offers Express Lunch Menu

Tuscany restaurant in Holladay is now offering “Express Lunch” options for business or social dining. Several options are available to those for a quick lunch in one of the Tuscan-inspired dining rooms or on one of three patios while the weather still allows.

“While we’re ideal for that leisurely lunch to catch up with old friends in style and comfort, we’re also well suited for business and understand that some of our guests may need a quicker pace. In fact, if you ask to be out in an hour and you’re not, I’ll buy you lunch,” said Tuscany co-owner Mark Eaton. “To Go” box lunches are also available for that perfect picnic or business lunch in the boardroom.

Offerings for “guaranteed in and out in an hour” dining include a smoked salmon salad sandwich with summer slaw, foccacia and soup for $10 and Spaghetti with meatballs in marinara Sauce for $12.
