Entering Sostanza feels like leaving Tooele. It’s a different world in there, where soft music plays, classy art lines the walls, soothing colors and lighting prevail, tables are adorned with top-notch dinnerware and cutlery and, well, the entire scene just reeks of “fine dining.” The Sostanza menu teases the Italian palate with items such as fettuccine Alfredo, three-cheese ravioli, linguine with baby clams, fritto misto and bruschetta. But really, the menu is quite eclectic. It runs the gamut from the aforementioned Italian-influenced dishes to seafood tempura, white bean and applewood bacon soup, grilled lamb chops, an Angus cowboy rib-eye, Dover Sole filets with a Maryland-style crab cake and basmati rice, and even fish tacos, along with turkey and veggie burgers and a popular French dip sandwich au jus. The comfy lounge/bar is a great place for an appetizer and cocktail or glass of wine or, an entire meal. Sostanza is defintely the place in Tooele for upscale dining. Reviewed on Sept. 10, 2009.
