DOWNTOWN. Don't let the name fool you into thinking this place is a purveyor of fine art or 19th century European antiques. No, Frank Granato's is one of the area's top delis and has been for almost half a decade. Locals adore the place for its imported olive oil, fresh cheeses, and superb deli meats. If you can't take it home and make it the way you like, the deli counter also makes terrific sandwiches stuffed with the likes of Genoa salami, ricotta and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and Italian sausage. You'll also find a newer location at 4044 South 2700 East (801-277-7700).

No doubt about it ­ if you're on the go at lunchtime and don't really have time to sit and eat, then this deli should be a "must." The place offers some of the area's best lunch specials, including delicious Italian and Greek-influenced salads and sandwiches. How does something with fresh-ground Italian sausage or Genoa salami sound? How about homemade Parmigiano-Reggiano or asiago cheese? They do it all here, and for less than seven bucks, you can walk out with a hearty sandwich, a side or two, and a drink.

DOWNTOWN. Siegfried's Delicatessen is your best bet if you're craving true German food in Salt Lake City.

The Black Forest Cake is a citywide favorite, so save room for dessert! The dining room is open for lunch from 11am-4pm.

DOWNTOWN. Young professionals gather for lunch at Caputo's Market and Deli, taking in the aromas of baking bread and roasting meats amid an "industrial-chic" décor of exposed ductwork and brick walls. Sandwiches are exactly what you would expect from the most popular Italian deli in the city ­ fresh, flavorful and affordable. Meats, cheeses, breads and other delicacies are not just meant to be savored at the deli. Every specialty item the market provides ­ from olives to truffles and frozen pasta ­ is available for home preparation.
