The 19 Best Restaurants of 2025—Salt Lake
A “casot” is a tiny stone house in the middle of the Italian vineyards that is designed to provide a break with shade, drinks and food for the workers. Which is just the niche Casot fills in the 15th and 15th district. A coworking space by day that transitions gracefully to a wine bar in the late afternoon. Casot is a rotating showcase of wine-geekery with bottles you can’t find anywhere else in town, accompanied by little bites. The staff is knowledgeable and will walk you through the ever-changing beverage menu. The ambiance is like a small and bustling taverna, the perfect shady break away from work, casotwinework.com
