Ordered kalimari as an appetizer. First time trying it for one of us, and it was above expectations! We got chicken alfredo and spaghetti and meatballs, respectively. They were both very good. (This review gets a bonus star for being our first date ) read more

Pizza is pretty sad crust is like cracker hardly any cheese. Service person tried but it took way too long to get out pizzas

We came here with another couple while we were in town visiting friends. The other couple knew the owner of the place and boy that is a bonus, but it does not give you extra points for flavor, service, wine selection for proper pairing or just ambiance and all around great feeling when you are leaving. This place does need more parking to hold the number of patrons wanting great food and flavorful Italian food and drink. The deep fried mushrooms we had for an appetizer with marinara sauce were spot on. My chicken Marsala had ample mushrooms and a flavorful sauce with a side of pasta. My spouses veal Marsala was even better than my chicken. Bread and oil or butter early on was warm and went well with the short wait for food. It is a bit crowded inside, but that is a sign of spectacular food and service. read more

What a great lucky stop. We didn't have a reservation and got lucky that there were seats at the bar. We were also lucky to have Danny wait on us. So helpful and kind. We were even luckier to sit next to the owner. He helped us with our menu and we loved every single thing. The pizza crust is amazing! We got the junior as an appetizer. I got the lobster ravioli in the vodka sauce. Holy crap it was good. My husband got the steak siciliano. He loved it. And we brought home Alfredo for the kids. What a charming place. Can't wait to go back. Oh and the only picture I took was the wine bottle because it was awesome. read more

Called at 4:40 p.m. to order pizzas for pickup at 6 but was told that I could not do that. I would have to call back at 5 pm in order to order for 6 because this was considered "calling ahead" and that's not allowed... Totally get not having an expensive website with all of the associated overhead to handle this, but this just seems like a pretty basic customer service opportunity. I ended up reaching out to another pizza place who could accommodate an order at 4:40 p.m. for 6 p.m. read more

Excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent ambiance. What a treat to Milwaukee. Can't wait to come back soon.

Today, April 16, for our 43rd Anniversary dinner, we chose our neighborhood-ish Italian fave Calderone Club, where we have always felt as one of the family! Take away to home, 2 minutes by car, the deep--fried Eggplant was dropped to cook once I walked in the door. As well, Chicken Marsala with creamy sauce/gravy, unctuous mushrooms and penne. All food was perfect, fantastic uber hot tasty marinara for lemon juiced-salted eggplant "fries". Unbelievably delish! The Marsala. Wow. Truly great food, great folks..thx to long-time owners/hosts/emcees Carmelo and Frank. Would loved to have stayed and enjoyed the operatic styled Bel Canto singing, yet, no loss in quality, temperature or bang for your buck. Grazie Calderone family. read more

Pizzas are the best. They have limited offering of pizzas which in my option makes the ones you get very good, because they know how to make it well. Always friendly when I go pick up my pizza. When I go inside, I don't have to shout when paying or letting them know why I'm there. This is our new go to place for pizza. read more

Would give 0 stars if possible. Ordered the Junior pizza with four toppings. Cost ($23.95), was more than a medium pizza with more toppings. Pizza was so undercooked I couldn't pick up a piece. Won't be back! read more

Online reservations are easy peasy. Staff are all attentive and friendly. The food is amazing! My husband had chicken Parmesan and he really enjoyed it. He also had their tasty mozzarella marinara. I had the eggplant Parmesan. So incredibly delicious! We love this restaurant! read more

Calderone Club is a tried and true pizza option in the North Shore. I hadn't been there in years but we went recently with some friends. The inside is no frills. Smallish but fits a fair amount of people. The service was fine. The pizza was really good as were the mozzarella sticks. We got a fairly massive sheet of 'za and all enjoyed it. It's a solid pizza place. Maybe not the greatest, but thoroughly dependable and enjoyable. read more

06 /13/26. My wife and hit up the Calderon for a nice 6 o'clock dinner. I'm a pizza nut, and she had a taste for the lobster ravioli. We ordered a glass of wine, and I had an iced tea. I have to add the tea comes unsweetened. As an app we had fried eggplant. I was warned the pizza would be over 30 minutes. The eggplant came super fast. It was great. Nice sauce. On time my pizza was in front of me. A minute later my wife's ravioli was on the table. Both were served hot. My rectangle "works" pizza was packed with fresh crispy flavor. It was very good. Nice and thin crust. Today (the next day) I ate it for lunch, and it was still great reheated. Wife tells me her lobster ravioli was also very good. My wife might like the pasta, but I guarantee, I will have this pizza again. I would vote 4.5 stars for sure. read more

The food and service were great! I asked the server and bartender to choose my dessert and drink; they nailed it! Excellent dining experience. read more

Everything was outstanding. It was our first time eating at the Calderone Club. Thank you

It was my first time visiting, and I just had to make a review. The food was good and everything was fine until I saw the chair with a hole underneath it. Could not believe my eyes! The way the manager/owner treated the staff was unbelievable. I think there were 4 staff members doing 4 roles at once. If it wasn't for the owner I think I would've enjoyed the place a lot more. read more

Let's start with ambiance. It's great I love the Mural. Waitress gets a 31/2. Good, needs work. Food it was SO average. My husband got spaghetti and meat balls. Meatballs were great, not overly seasoned. I ordered Anthony's Spaghetti or however there worded it I was so disappointed. It said garlic which I expected fresh but it looks like it came from a jar. Basil, I again expected fresh, but didn't get that. Parsley, I didn't see it. I expected FRESH. But it was rather salty. There was some dried greens on top and that was all. I am on medication so I realize things can taste different at times. I was just so disappointed and only ate a portion of it. I did take the rest home, to throw it out. We had bread , butter and seasoned oil. The bread was great but the oil was bitter. The one thing we had that was Fantastic was the Bruschetta. It was made well, it looked fresh and tasted real good. I have never been disappointed here, except this time. Tuesday 9/16/2025 read more

Another stop at Calderon for my wife's birthday. The food was amazing!! Had Eggplant parm. Unfortunately I ate the whole thing.(extremely full) Service was great!! Coming back for my birthday! read more

This place was pretty good. We got in fairly easily and the service was quick. We ordered a reasonably priced bottle of wine and had some decent entrees. My clam pasta was just okay, it was fairly watery but pasta was cooked right. The zucchini fries were good along with the spaghetti and meatballs. read more

So good. Pizza is amazing. They can pack a lot on that thing crust without it wavering or flopping. The steak spedini was awesome. Loved the fried eggplant and the cozy environment. Tiramisu was also the best. Most servers are probably good. Our server was not so great. Slow time of night (830pm) and she was super slow to bring drinks. We went to the bar ourself to get it finally. Not in touch with her customers. I'm sure she won't last long so still giving the place five stars bc this place has stood the test of time. read more

New to the Fox Point area and saw this place in a Strip mall. You might think strip mall and thumb you nose, but that would be a mistake. We did not dine in but hope to soon. Ordered a large pizza and one order of mozzarella marinara to go (mozzarella sticks). All was delish. Pizza was sheet style and had a great taste. Sticks were solid and the sauce was awesome! While we did not dine in I did get a sense of the inside. Not a giant dining area, but quaint and an Italian feel to the joint. Great outside sitting area and a small bar. All in all I think this place will become a regular stop for us. Old, Goodfellas type feel to the place, and great vibe! Service was great, although the to-go order took about an hour. Go. Here. Now' read more

I've visited three times over the past few years, most recently last night. The food and service have always been great! Their fried eggplant strips are very popular, as is their pizza and tiramisu, which is a homemade recipe from the matriarch of the family! I love the thin crust pizza, but last night I tried their Calabrian Crust, which is another recipe from the owners' mother. The crust is thicker (maybe double or 3x the thin crust, so not a "thick crust" pizza, where crust is 1/2 inch thick or more. The crust is still airy and lighter than a thick crust, yet as crispy, if not crispier, than their thin crust. It only comes in the "Junior" size but that is plenty of food for one person or perfect as a shared course, while you try other menu items. I hope to get back again soon to try their lasagna, which is another recipe from the family matriarch! read more

We had a group of five for a quick after work dinner on a Tuesday, and made reservations for 5:15. Arriving on time, we were seated in a comfortable table. Others had noted that the dining room is on the smaller side and they are correct - it is just about as packed in as you could get before becoming overcrowded. It wasn't busy when we were seated but quickly filled up. Upon receiving our menus we were told that we had a time limit on the table of 1.5 hours and that another party had a reservation after us, which was a reasonable amount of time for our dinner. Not a problem, but something to keep in mind considering the limited seating. Their menu covered a lot of Italian ground and should have something for everyone. We opted for the crispy eggplant sticks and bruschetta for appetizers and I ordered the Marsala for an entree. With the entree one also gets a soup or salad and a choice of pasta side, which guaranteed that we would all leave full. The appetizers were great, with the bruschetta standing out with great flavors and a fresh taste. It isn't the best that I've ever had, but it was still great. The eggplant was what I expected and was good. My Marsala was very good, with just enough sauce to keep things interesting and a good sized portion. The side of marinara pasta that we were given was very good and had lots of flavor and cheese, but having enjoyed all of the entrees, salad and most of my main dish I was unfortunately unable to finish it. I definitely can't complain about the portions! I am going to be eating here more often considering the proximity to my office - maybe I'll see you inside. read more

Many thanks to our new neighborhood pizza joint, Calderone Club! There's nothing like a locally owned restaurant to make you feel right at home. We're new to Fox Point and lucky us, this Italian eatery is right down the street! We've been to their other location downtown, but this one is entirely different. It's a lot smaller and more quaint, which gives it such an authentic feel in my opinion. Calderone has long-standing history, being family owned since 1979. And you get that family-owned energy when you go in! Love that. We were starving on moving day, and in need of a quick fix. Nothing like a tasty pizza to fill that void! I gave them a call and put in an order for a large, Calderone Special pizza. After the 45 minute time estimate they gave, I zipped over to pick it up. It was a Saturday night and this place was poppin! Again, only small inside with a handful of tables, but the takeout scene was so busy. However I was still in and out within five minutes. I was a bit surprised by the $25 price, but soon realized it was worth it. This thing was both massive and delicious. Plentiful mozz cheese covered the thin, well-cooked crust. Atop that was Italian sausage, hella mushrooms (yum), black olives (double yum) and onions. There were only three of us and I kid you not, we devoured it. I look forward to making more visits down to this local spot to try many more menu items - count me in for pastas and calzones for sure. Thankful to have something great like this near by! read more

My elderly aunt was in town for the weekend. We made reservations for the Calderone Club in Fox Point. Everything was just perfect! From the moment we entered the restaurant, we were greeted with a kind smile from the host and graciously seated by the friendly waitress. The food was simply delicious! It was the tastiest lasagna that I have had in quite some time. My elderly aunt stated that it was the best experience she has had at a restaurant in a long time. The Brandy Old Fashioneds were made just as they are supposed to be, and the Tiramisu was divine. Thank you for such an enjoyable evening. read more

Delicious food served in a charming atmosphere! The lasagna was exactly what I needed. Adorable bartender too.

Wonderful local spot with absolutely amazing Italian food. Relatively small parking lot and interior keep this place packed. The fried eggplant was served perfectly, without being too mushy (which eggplant tends to be). We ordered the Calderone Works pizza on a gluten free crust (which my finicky husband couldn't detect) and it was so good! There's a lot of classics to choose from on the menu, and I look forward to going back and trying more. read more

Salad caprese without fresh basil romaine instead oil no balsamic vinegar.... Bread asked for three times never came. "it's in the oven" meal is cool now. Lasagna soupy with thin sauce smothered in sauce flavor none existent not a hint of oregano for instance Chef Boy Rdee would be superior. Three days in Italy would help the chef recalculate save your money. read more

I have lived in the area most my life and didn't realize there was a second location of the Calderone Club. We enjoyed soups, salads, cheesy bread, pizza, and a calzone. Everything was very good. The service was also great.

Although I have driven by the Fox Point location multiple times, I had no idea that there was a great hidden gem, authentic Italian restaurant, tucked away in this small strip mall. The first time I went was a few months ago on a dinner date and couldn't wait to go back again. I didn't take photos the first time for various reasons but did take a few during our more recent visit. The first time was during a Saturday night in November. With the social distancing, they had tables nicely spaced apart. The ambiance was a nice local, family owned, Italian restaurant. These types of restaurants are hard to find. I had the Chicken Marsala and an old fashioned. In the traditional Italian style, they brought out the crusty Italian bread and olive oil It was delicious. The minestrone soup is served in a traditional cup and tasted fresh. The Chicken Marsala was tasty, not overly salted as in many places and the side of garlic pasta was delicious as well. I recently returned with a more fun and relaxed group of friends and I even had a better time. This time I ordered the Veal Piccata and a bottle of Prosecco. Again the crusty, delicious bread and olive oil appease your appetite as you sit in this cozy Italian restaurant with a nice traditional décor that includes tablecloth. Many restaurants no longer use tablecloth. This time we dined during a non-busy weeknight. The Veal Piccata and the garlic pasta arrived and were delicious. We also got to enjoy a serving of surprise amaretto. The service was great during the busy Saturday night as well as during the more relaxed weeknight. Looking forward to returning. read more

One word "FANTASTIC " was able to sample 4 dishes and my pizza.every one was incredible.

My father and I order pizza most Sunday nights. They have a wonderful thin crust Neapolitan pizza. Just the right amount of ingredients. Occasionally, I will order Veal Marsala. The wine sauce is fantastic. I have had the tiramisu and I did enjoy that. Previously,I have ordered the zucchini and eggplant appetizers and garlic bread. I have no complaints about the food. read more

Went there for a little family get together. Food was outstanding in quality with rich flavors. Pizza- huge, chicken parm weighed about 5 lbs (plus a side of buttered rigatoni!), spaghetti and meatballs, ok not the size of a softball, but at least a hardball x 2! Service was outstanding, decor really pleasant. May I just suggest a reduction in volume of the music? Too loud, I am afraid. But... this place is awesome. Come hungry! Eat! Eat! read more
