Valore @ Zucca
Zucca Trattoria (1479 E. 5600 South, South Ogden)—Ogden’s best
restaurant, in my humble opinion—is featuring a special Monday through
Thursday value combo dinner called Valore, priced at $18 for three
courses. Diners get a choice of appetizer/soup/salad: mixed greens,
tomato-basil bisque or bruschetta; an entree option of lasagna
Bolognese, New York roast, chicken saltimbocca or eggplant parmigiana; and dessert: tiramisu or panna cotta. For reservations and information, phone 801-475-7077 or visit MyZucca.com.

Simcic @ Fratelli
On Sunday, May 6, Fratelli Ristorante (9236 Village Shop Drive, Sandy, FratelliUtah.com) will host Marjan Simcic for a tasting of Simcic wines. Simcic is a rock-star winemaker in Europe, where his vineyards straddle the Italy-Slovenia border. Although he’s known mostly for white wines, one wine critic called Simcic Pinot Noir Selekcija “the best red wine of the Old World.” The Fratelli tasting will begin at 6 p.m. and will feature five Simcic wines paired with progressive small plates. The cost is $75 per person for the wine and food. For more information and to reserve a spot, call 801-495-4550.
