update 2024:
Caputo’s at Night is closed for business
Good news for those of us who love Caputo’s in Salt Lake- the following press release and pictures came to me courtesy of Karen Boe at Boe Marketing. I wanted to share the news with you:
Tony Caputo’s Deli Effortlessly Transforms to Evening Dining
SALT LAKE CITY (February 10, 2010) — Tony Caputo’s Market and Deli has a new venture….’Caputo’s By Night.’ The deli side of the operation serves
an average of 500 lunches per day and has long been a favorite destination
for downtown’s workers and local community members. Due to customer demand for a more casual evening dining experience Caputo’s Deli hours are now expanded for dinner service. Dinner service will be available, Tuesday through Saturday from 5:00 – 9:00 p.m., however, the deli operations are available daily Sunday, 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday 9:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. and Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to closing.
The popular sandwiches and salads will still be served at night but
‘Caputo’s By Night’ will also serve many rustic Italian hot dishes using
provincial Italian ingredients from the award-winning market. Dinner service will still include white table cloths, servers, and wine and beer, just in a more casual atmosphere. “We are really happy to be getting back to our deli roots. We love fine dining and Tipica was a fun experiment, but customers are asking for a more casual experience,” said Matt Caputo. They now feature, rustic Italian classics such as Penne Arrabbiata and Chicken Parmigiano. The new menu is full of comforting hot foods and guests can still get any of the sandwiches, with garnish and pasta salad for $8.95. Five different Italian classic pasta dishes come with soup or salad and grilled garlic bruschetta for $10.95. Hot dishes like Grilled Halibut Melograno start at $13.95 and come with pasta, soup or salad and grilled garlic bruschetta. There are a few appetizers, but these entrees are designed to be full hearty meals. “One of our servers recently approached me and said, ‘how can we afford to give people so much food for so little money?’ He was right … our food cost is indeed high, but we wanted to be sure to provide a value that would be second to none, continued Caputo.
Tony’s brother Mikey (Uncle Mikey) is the new chef. He has run kitchens
from fine dining operations to diners and everything in between. Mikey
specializes in cooking simple Italian food quickly and consistently. His vast
line cook experience will ensure the kitchen excels no matter how busy
evenings get. Mikey insists all meats and poultry are fresh and cooked to order every time. For fish, Caputo’s just happens to have the state’s best fish market right next door. Whole fresh fish are bought and butchered in house daily.
“We’re very excited about our new venture. Our goal is to give people
Italian deli comfort classics in an upscale yet relaxed environment. And with our reasonably priced wine and beer list, which includes wines by the glass starting at $4 and beers (including three Squatters on tap) starting at $3, customers can get a hearty and comforting meal and a drink for under $15 and rarely over $20, Caputo continued.
Caputo’s By Night is located at 314 West 300 South. Reservations are
recommended, especially for weekends. Phone: (801) 531-TONY (8669). Evening hours are : Tuesday through Saturday 5:00 – 9:00 p.m. Deli operations are available daily Sunday, 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday 9:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. and Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to closing.
