If you want a restaurant to ruin Italian restaurants for you for life, try Le Nonne. And I mean that as a compliment. Le Nonne is so good, I am now completely bored (and sometimes disgusted) by places like the Olive Garden.

I went to Le Nonne back when it used to be located on Main street in this tiny eight table sized location. Now Le Nonne has grown and is located in this charming old house near the tabernacle in Logan. I've always thought Logan has been overlooked when it comes to Utah cuisine, and that is mostly to the credit of Le Nonne. The Chef is actually from Italy and learned to cook from his Grandmother (or le nonne in Italian).

All meals begin with fresh Crumb Brothers Ciabatta bread and an olive tapenade, which is delicious. I always have to tell myself to stop eating bread and save room for the entree. They always have wonderful specials, but my favorite meal on the menu is the Ravioli di spinci e burro e salvia or Spinach ravioli with a sage butter sauce. He hand makes all his ravioli so they are just light and delicate. And then how can you go wrong with a butter sauce that has sage grown right in the front yard of the restaurant? The tiramisu is amazingly delicious. It even topped the tiramisu I had in Rome.

They have a lovely patio, where on weekends you can hear local live music. My only complaint is the tables are pretty unstable and wobbly. They don't have much of a waiting area, and Logan and get pretty cold to wait outside in. If you get a sat along the benches on the wall the bench sits pretty low. It gets pretty busy so you will most definitely have to make a reservation on weekends.
