New record set this week!  We had an hour and this was the countdown for the finish.
Brett R.

Quaint little Italian place in Lake Geneva. Happened in and took the big pie challenge. Crushed it and beat the speed record. Other food was great and served with a smile. If you are ever in town it's worth consideration.

One slice of Mama Cimino's specialty Stuffed Pizza.

When you face the building at 131 N. Wells Street in Lake Geneva, be aware that more than half of it is a coin laundry. Mama Cimino's door is nearly hidden around the first corner to your right. The place is small, offering seating at six tables and places at the small bar. The ambiance is definitely Italian and Italian-American. The tables are set with red and white checked plastic tablecloths and individual paper maps of Italy. The restaurant is open Tuesday-Sunday 4 pm to 12 am, and does lots of take-out business. We arrived for an early dinner, and were met by a friendly older lady who suggested we sit anywhere we liked in the empty dining area. Mama Cimino's does have a liquor license, so my husband and I ordered Blue Moon beer and Pinot Noir wine, followed by Bruscetta and the Specialty Stuffed Chicago-style pizza that takes 45 minutes to make. The Bruscetta came on a dozen two-bite pieces of Italian bread (not like the slices from a big loaf) and was served cold, drizzled with balsamic vinegar. It was good and quite filling. My husband enjoyed his Blue Moon, but my wine had an ascerbic flavor that didn't bloom and wasn't friendly like the Australian and California wines I favor. The Specialty Stuffed Pizza appeared just at the 45 minutes promised. It was a delicate crust filled with mozzarella, parmesan, green bell pepper, olives, several kinds of meats, and a sauce that didn't fight with the other flavors. It also wasn't too sweet. I managed to eat one piece, my husband had two. Our server happily packed the leftovers into a box for us to take home, and asked with a laugh if we'd like dessert. That will have to wait until next time, when we order a smaller pizza!

Good buffalo & bbq wings, good calamari (some fancy places are worse), and good service. Shrimp average.

One of the the few places open on a Monday night in town after 9:00 p.m. Good buffalo & bbq wings, good calamari (some fancy places are worse), and good service. Shrimp average. Decent ambiance depending who comes in.

Delicious slice sausage pizza Mama Ciminos approved!

I was very confused when I pulled into the lot because I didn't a sign and I didn't realize it was inside a hotel. Walked in and didn't see Italia anywhere so was even more confused. I asked the girl at the front desk and she directed me to the place at the end of the hall. The place is really nice. The hotel and restaurant. The service was good. Our food was prompt. There was a super cute cozy Christmas bar off the restaurant. We popped inside to check it out before we ate.

We did extensive research on the menu before choosing to make a reservation. Once we got sat, it quickly became clear that the menu was not the same as what was online. We were told the menu just changed within the last few days. Most menu items were either not vegetarian, contained nuts, and/or were vegetarian but contained nuts (which he avoids for my safety). A kind server who has allergies herself told us, essentially nothing is safe. We ultimately had to leave and go elsewhere. Not a great way to run a business, especially something food related when customers have allergies and you not only change the menu, but also can't guarantee you will be safe.

Our waitress was very professional and even was able to find wine that she had originally said was not available. Their table bread is a really lovely focaccia which is such a nice touch. We started with a couple of pizzas for appetizers (our waitress dropped one and although she replaced it, we weren't able to enjoy it as it arrived immediately before our entrees were served) and then I ordered the Branzino which was really delicious, but some of our party who ordered pastas made comments about the noodles being over-cooked. The restaurant itself has been beautiful my whole life and it still is but our party was seated pretty far from the window, which was unfortunate considering the restaurant was mostly empty. Overall, we had a nice experience and will absolutely return next year.

The Tiramisu was a wonderful dessert to end the meal with. We look forward to returning, and experiencing Brissago again, and requesting Tonya for another lovely dinner.
