    Examples of fab food!
    Deborah F.

    I try to eat here with friends once a month because it's that good! Always feels like a treat. Takeout is a great option, too, if you can't get a reservation. I usually order the Bolongese - but everything here is fresh & delicious! Servers are always charming too! And they offer bottles of house-made limoncello...!

    Classic Italian style pizza, cool crisp vibe. Pizza sauce had some depths of flavor. Fresh ingredients an elevated experience. Eclectic music from the 60-70's in the background. Attentive service & knowledgeable about the menu.

    Rigatoni alla Bolognese*
    Camille L.

    We dined here on a Saturday night and had a larger party (4 adults and 4 kids) and the food, service and ambiance were all great. We got seated in a nice booth by the window. My husband and I split these pasta entrees and enjoyed them both: RIGATONI ALLA BOLOGNESE TAGLIATELLE They have an "unofficial" kids meal when we inquired which included pasta with red sauce or butter. Our kids enjoyed those and the server brought them out first. Overall we had a great dining experience and I recommend this place if you like Italian food.

    Shrimp scampi

    We did not make a reservation ahead of time. We were offered sitting in the bar area so we did not have to wait. As it turned out that it was perfect because the bar also serves full menu. The ambiance was very nice, service was prompt and accommodating. The three servers were very professional and friendly. The wine, salad, pizza, shrimp scampi and vanilla ice cream were all delicious.

    Had dinner there last night and it was a nice experience. Busy but still managed to get a bar table for 2. Server was training another staff so we have extra attention for the evening. Watch out for those anti-pasta. It is big! We had the roasted octopus anti-pasta and two other entrees, a pasta and a piatti and it was a lot. Had to to pack the pasta to go and we shared the piatti for dinner. I had the striped bass and server was very accommodating. Since I don't want carbs, they substitute that with arugula salad. It was a nice complement to the dish. Had the homemade fraglittale parts. The fraglittale was chewy and thick. Taste good too. We were seated next to the kitchen so that was fun too. Overall good vibes, had an enjoyable dinner and had good conversations.

    Pera Pizza*
    Malia Y.

    I made reservations two weeks in advance which are highly suggested! We scored some convenient street parking nearby the restaurant. Ambiance is loud, modern, spacious - ideal for a hang out with a group of friends/casual outing. Dates - highly recommend. A bit of sweet and salty. I enjoyed the flavors of the muffleta sandwich. Easily could be shared amongst two people. Disappointment was from the pera pizza. Crust was good and had a nice cheese pull. The pear sweetness I was expecting didn't exist and they were VERY bland. Would come back to try the pasta. Drinks are made well.

    Wow what a great restaurant! I was lucky to get a seat at the bar on a busy Saturday night. I was taken care of by Dee and she is a gem! From the negroni to the tiramsu just perfection.!!La Dolce Vita!

    Eggplant fritters
    Tanya A.

    I'll be honest--I'm not an Italian food person. But this spot? Total game-changer. We ordered eggplant fritters (crispy perfection), sausage pizza (savory and satisfying), a summer salad with shrimp (light and zesty), and octopus. Now, I usually go for grilled octopus and steer clear of cold preparations, but this one was a surprise hit: cool, refreshing, and had a satisfying crunch that totally won me over. Every dish felt thoughtful and elevated without being fussy. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in town. If this place can convert a non-Italian foodie like me, it's doing something very right. We sat outside which was super cute ! They have string lights hanging. The only down were the little nats flying around everywhere. Wish they had candles to try and keep them away. Shout out to Anna ! She was great.

    On May 8 we visited Bar Corallini on Atwood Ave. to celebrate our middle daughter's graduation from UWisconsin-Madison. It was a terrific experience and made for a great evening. Bar Corallini was extremely accommodating to the dietary restrictions (vegan) of a couple of our family members. Our server, Elena, was fabulous. The restaurant seemed packed with locals and had a very nice vibe. My middle daughter, who graduated from UWisconsin-Madison, enjoyed a vegan muffuletta (sandwich with marinated zucchini eggplant red peppers and artichokes and vegan tofu ricotta) on homemade pizza bread and kale salad with vegan crunch. Like the other main dishes, it was a very generous portion The four course, prix fixe meals were all very good. Hats off to Chef Pedro Caldera Herrera. My wife and oldest daughter loved perfectly cooked scallops. My youngest daughter praised her pasta dish and said the vodka sauce was light and not heavy at all. My rigatoni was a delight. The desserts were impressive too. Bar Corallini's general manager, Carlos Espinosa, stopped by to see how things were going and was very gracious. Overall I know we were a bit difficult with some things and Carlos and Elena were very accommodating. By the way, another vegan place, the Green Owl, is around the corner. We ate there one night too and it also was a good dinner. Our middle daughter is off to new things. But the outstanding experience we had at Bar Corallini is a good reason to go back to Madison if the opportunity materializes.

    Bar Corallini was delish as always! Our sever was very kind and helpful. The restaurant was beautiful and we loved the vibe!

    Linda B.

    Deelicious!!! Couldn't decide between pasta and pizza so got both! The vegetarian was amazingly delicious with the perfect crust in a brick oven! No sauce on the pizza surprisingly so when I asked for a small amount of sauce they charged me $3? What? The bolognese pasta sauce was also sparingly but good enough for the dryer side. Service was good and love the bottle of water on the table

    Antipasti Board, Warm Olives, and an Aperol Spritz
    Chloe M.

    I'll admit that when Bar Corallini first opened, I didn't love it. Because we were not initially wow'd, we hadn't been back for a few years. Our opinion has officially been changed, and it has suddenly been launched to the top of our favorite restaurants list. The antipasti platter is what did it for us, paired with the phenomenal service we have received the past two visits. Top tip - order a side of pizza bread with your antipasti platter. You won't be disappointed. We also can't get enough of the Bergamot Spritz, and the 8 Finger Cavatelli. Visit soon - you won't be disappointed.

    Vegan Antipasti Board*
    Lexi G.

    Bar Corallini is my favorite place to go in Madison for a special occasion. I love the aquatic decor and the romantic lighting. It can get noisy but the atmosphere always feels intimate. It's a popular place so you'll want to make a reservation--ideally about 2 weeks out. Any vegans looking for an extensive and thoughtful vegan menu need to come here. I don't think there's another Italian restaurant in Madison with so many wonderful vegan dishes. I love the warm olives, antipasti board, farinata fries, and bean dip with pizza bread when they have it. The muffaletta is delicious, as are the pizzas. The pastas change with the season but they always seem to have cacio e pepe and it has yet to let me down. They also have vegan affogato and sorbet. I highly recommend Bar Corallini!

    The interior of Novanta is clean and bright, with a fair number of seating options for dine-in…read morecustomers. When you walk in, you place your order at the counter, and bring an order number to your table. I'm on the search for the best pizza in Madison, and Novanta made it pretty high on my list. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the flavors were simple but delicious, like most Neapolitan pizzas. I'm a huge fan of pizzas baked in stone ovens, and I was not disappointed by Novanta's ovens, which were imported from Italy. The staff was very friendly! They greeted us warmly and made sure we had everything we needed when the pizzas were served. I will definitely be back soon!

    I was starving after touching down at the airport since they don't feed lunch anymore for domestic…read moreflights so I came looking for some good food. With 2 Wood fire pizza ovens and an open kitchen concept, this place was it for me. Pizza: personal size, got the Salsiccia ($13) which was delicious. Crust was amazing, thin but scrumptious. Service: it was empty when I went at 2 and you order and pay first even if dining in. A lady (I believe her name was Lugenia?) was manning the front. Had to ask for napkins and asked for a cup of water. Got the napkins and an empty cup, water never showed up, no explanation. An elderly white couple showed up afterwards and they got the whole speech, come to find out (by eavesdropping) that there's a water fountain in the back. Well now I'm glad I tipped for no service at all. As I was leaving, a young lad was changing shifts with her and he seemed very friendly and thanked me for coming in. So maybe I just got unlucky with the service because he seemed a lot chipper. Parking: in the back, make a right at the light after passing the bagels shop. TLDR: come for the great pizza, but service could probably be a hit or miss. Takeout pizza would be amazing here.
