Gyro&Fries (fries were really good)!
Kari B.

We were in the area and craving a gyro for lunch. Glad we stopped in, cute place and food was really good. We will definitely be back to try other dishes.

Meze Plate
Rekha P.

Fresh delicious Mediterranean food, cozy ambience, great service and just an all round fun experience. Don't miss this gem in Sun Prairei!

I came here on a whim with my friend after a Yoga class, and what a wonderful surprise! It's located in a smaller strip mall, but the interior is warm, inviting, and comfy. For an appetizer, we ordered grape leaves. I'm used to them being cold, but these ones were warm, which was a nice surprise. They were super fresh and herby, which paired nicely with the delicious yogurt dipping sauce. For an entrée, I got the Chicken Shawarma plate. It came with an option of soup or salad I chose the soup (lentil). They also have many pasta options on their menu, but neither I nor my friend tried one. What I ordered was overall great! The chicken was super tender, the rice was nice and light, the bread was tasty, and it came with the same yogurt sauce I loved before. Everything tasted and seemed very fresh. Overall we had a great experience here, if your looking for Mediterranean food in Sun Prairie this is the place to go!

Appetizer round.  Cigar Borek

We had been here once before and were excited to return especially after seeing the award. Sadly, a CBD store moved in next door and now this place smells like a marijuana party - I had a headache within 10 minutes. It's still very clean inside like the last time we were here and the waitress was great. The finish on the tables is super sticky which is off putting and the music was not my favorite. I'm hoping this meal is fantastic because as long as the business next door remains, I will not be back.

Sultan's delight
Sho R.

I stopped by for dinner. I was there a bit early, so got a seat right away. The place had good amount of people. I went for a sultan's delight. It was an excellent dish with a lot of flavors. It was flavorfull eggplant paste with tomato sauce and chicken on top. The quantity was more than enough for 1 person. I was not hungry, but still wiped clean the dish. It also came with an option for a soup or salad. I went with lentil soup, which was good as well.

I was desperate for muhammara in Wisconsin and randomly found this spot. The hummus and muhammara had a strange texture but great flavor. I was a big fan of the falafel. The lentil soup was good and light. We shared everything and really enjoyed our time. The location was a hike but I would visit again.

Beef and Lamb meatballs
Melanie D.

Ordered the Ottoman platter and Beef & Lamb meatballs. Both were excellent!!! Also had the calamari appetizer, and it was perfectly done...lightly breaded and great texture. I heard others in restaurant talking they had heard bad reviews, and I don't know why...food and service were great! We plan on going back often!

As you enter, there is a decent sized bar off to your right with a few high top tables. To your left is the dining room, which is cozy and intimate. Someone at a table near us was having what looked like a margarita, and that made me want a margarita. So, instead of getting a bottle of wine, we both got a margarita. It was not what the other person was drinking, but oh my was this one of the best margaritas I've had in recent memory! It was SO good. It had a lot of ice in it, so next time I might ask for it straight up just so I can savor it and not let the ice water it down. We also had delicious bread brought to the table with a plate of olive oil and balsamic. The bread was cut into nice little pieces, was warm, and had a delightful texture where the outside was slightly crisped but not enough to impede your bite and the inside was just warm and soft. The have a nice, varied menu and it was hard to decide what to get. I was really craving marinara sauce, so I ended up going with the Cappellaci Di Salsiccia which was a meat and cheese enclosed pasta with marinara. And it was delicious. It also came out very beautifully plated. My dining mate ordered the Penne Pollo e Pesto and loved it. I'm not wild about pesto, but had to sample a bit and the way the pesto clung to the penne was really tasty. They also have a ragu lasagna and chicken piccata on their menu that I can't wait to try. As we were leaving, I saw a sign with two of their featured fall cocktails and both sounded incredible. I will have to be back for all of these things!!

Our friends from Chicago were staying at an Airbnb in Sun Prairie, so we made the trek from the west side of Madison to meet up with them. They had called ahead of time, and even though they don't take reservations for groups that large, the staff said that they would make a note of it and have a spot ready to go for us. Between our 3 families, we had many young kids in tow, so I was apprehensive about a long wait. The minute we walked in, however, we told them our name, and they immediately led us to a large table in the back room where we were quickly set up! The vibe of the place is really fun, with exposed brick walls and fun art. One of the coolest things was for the kids - instead of crayons, the menu comes with Wikki Sticks. These kept the kids occupied the entire time! Absolutely genius. Despite our large table, our waitress had no trouble efficiently taking orders and getting us our drinks. I was shocked by how quickly our food came out - everyone was digging into their meals 25-30 minutes after we had arrived at the restaurant! The service was absolutely top notch, and the pizza was phenomenal. I ordered the tomato pie, and it was everything I was hoping for - gobs of delicious homemade red sauce, plenty of cheese, and fresh basil. I ordered a 10", and I'm not ashamed to say I only had one piece left to take home with me!

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.

I didn't like sauce on the pizza and the cheese & crust were only okay. I'd come back again.

I can't say enough good things about this experience…read more We have wanted to try Lombardinos Italian Restaurant ever since moving to the Madison area decades ago. Can't believe we put it off this long--what an amazing treat we've been missing all those years! This was one of those rare restaurant experiences that was truly excellent from start to finish. --Cocktails (Negroni and bourbon old fashioned)--YUM! Exactly what we want in an authentic Italian restaurant. REAL drinks, no fruity watered-down imitation cocktails here. --Appetizer (local beet salad, a special that night)--great, and we don't even usually love beets, but this salad was just right. --Entrees (half chicken Al Mattone, pappardelle with ragu toscano)--both excellent. The chicken was tender and juicy and had a wonderful seasoning (not exactly sure what all was in it, but it was delicious). The pasta and sauce were excellent, tasty and filling but not overly heavy. --Dessert (which we don't usually get; chocolate nemesis cake, butterscotch pudding)--both amazing. I don't think I've ever had a better chocolate dessert, and believe me, that's saying something (I love chocolate)! --The glass of red wine I had with dinner was a new one to me and was very tasty (Corvina, Cabernet and Merlot blend "Alanero"- Zenato 2022, Venuto). --Servers were all friendly, helpful with great recommendations, prompt but did not rush us at all, despite the place being packed by 5:30pm. --The atmosphere is authentic, feels "old school," cozy and welcoming. --One caution--get there early. They don't take reservations. We got there around 5:10pm on a Friday and were seated right away, but every table was completely full by 5:30pm. Also, parking is a bit limited (small lot beside the building), so you may have to park on the street and walk a block or two. But it will be WELL worth the walk and any wait you have (get one of their amazing cocktails and wait at the beautiful wooden bar)! Again, I can't say enough good things about this experience. It took us decades to finally get here, but we'll be back very soon.

The mushroom pasta dish (tagliatelle) was definitely the stand out of our meal. While the budino was delicious, I didn't get the butterscotch flavors as it was noted in the menu. It almost tasted more like pumpkin and cinnamon. Warm fresh bread and the traditional cesear salad were delicious. I really liked my white sangria but my husband didn't care for his barrel aged Negroni. Love the tiles behind the bar and the history of this classic place.

The lights in the entire restaurant kept flickering all throughout dinner like the establishment was experiencing some sort of overload of circuits. When we inquired about the issue, the waiter simply rolled his eyes and said "this has been an issue for a long time, we keep telling them that they need to get this looked at" The food was mediocre at best, lacking any true flavor. They spend more effort trying to give their dishes cute Italian names than trying to make a decent meal. The so-called "Hi-Top" seating had about the same feel as sitting at a bar. You and your guest were seated directly next to each other, and you had to physically turn completely around to speak with the wait staff that was taking your order. Bottom line: There are MUCH better choices in the greater Madison area to eat and spend the kind of money that they are asking. I wouldn't recommend this establishment for any occasion.
