Stanza – New chef Jonathan LeBlanc and in house pasta chef Dan Varas have created an entirely new vegan friendly menu. No small task with Italian cooking. Not just an afterthought, the robust and delicious menu includes small plates and salads, entrées, pastas and dessert. Both chefs feel strongly that cooking for a full range of diners is important. LeBlanc was adamant that he didn’t want to just “change up a dish,” but that each should be as carefully and artistically created as every menu item. Prices range between $7 and $17 as follows:
Stanza Italian Bistro – vegan menu

I have been passionate about vegan cuisine for over 15 years, I love creating spontaneous market specials that are exciting and tasty

Hi, I’m Stuart, nice to meet you! I’m the founder, writer and wrangler at Gastronomic SLC. I’m a multiple-award winning journalist and have written in myopic detail about the Salt Lake City dining scene for the better part of seventeen years.
I’ve worked extensively with multiple local publications from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, not least helped to consult on national TV. Pause those credits, yep, that’s me! I’m also a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune. I’m largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration and the use of big words I don’t understand. What they’re saying about me: “Not inaccurate”, “I thought he was older”, “I don’t share his feelings”.
Want to know more? This is why I am the way I am.
