Even though it was a cash bar, the bartenders did a great job keeping drinks moving and getting everyone served quickly. The buffet had an excellent variety of food, including fresh fruit and veggies, caprese skewers, spinach dip with warm pita bread, bacon-wrapped water chestnuts, fried lobster ravioli, meatball sliders, and pizza. Overall, the food was amazing and a big hit with our group. Our table tried to decide which item was our favorite and everyone had different answers because it was all good! The only item not loved was the fried lobster ravioli. It wasn't as crispy as I expected, but everything else more than made up for it. Great space for a large group, delicious food, and solid service. I hope we have our holiday party at Zarletti's next year!

One side of the restaurant is a more casual bar room, perfect for meet ups to enjoy a delicious bottle of wine or cocktail. Our friendly server reviewed the specials and their favorites with us, then served us a delicious house-made rustic-style bread with olive oil. Their menu has traditional and eclectic menu selections such as boar and rabbit and locally sources several of the meat items. There are unique wine selections from different regions of Italy which was a nice touch. We tried the spaghetti and sea bass special, which were both outstanding. The prices were on par with other high end restaurants of similar caliber and the freshness and quality of the sea bass was definitely worth the $50 price tag. The service was excellent and I'll definitely go back next time I'm in the Sheboygan area.

When we were there it wasn't too busy, so you were able to have a conversation at your table without shouting to be heard. I'm not sure how it would be when they start to get very busy. They do take reservation which I think will be needed when it gets popular!!

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.

It's actually shocking I've only just made it here because Ca'Lucchenzo has been on my to-go list for years. Lucky for me, my girlfriends planned a dinner to catch up and one of them chose this spot. Hot tip: make the reservation. Those go fassst! We went on the Tuesday night and it was full, with repeated table turnover. Delightful atmosphere. Very cozy, with warm tones, dimer lighting, and thoughtfully curated Italian'esque decor. Loved that there is a whole area where you can look onto the from-scratch pasta being made. However, that's over in the dining room and we actually sat on the bar side. There's maybe a dozen seats wrapped around their full-service bar, and then a small high-top tucked behind, where we sat. Our server, Malichai, new allllll of his stuff. When I tell you this menu is so clearly planned with immense detail, and changes pretty much daily, but this man knew every thing there was to know. We found that to be so helpful because as first timers it's hard to know what - and how many dishes - to choose. In the end, we landed on a handful of picks from the antipasti section, which we're all great shareable sizes. And then of course we needed pasta, so selected two of those to share as well. Can I recall what each dish was? No. Can I recall everything being extremely flavorful and enjoyable? Absolutely! From goat cheese and white asparagus, to creamy potato ravioli and the most insane/delicious focaccia of my life... we all noted how great every bite was. Oh and the drinks + dessert selection lived up to the hype too. I had a citrusy gin cocktail, and we finished with some sort of hazelnut chocolate cake. 10/10. Super duper excited to bring my husband here. He appreciates the craft of good food and boy that is what this place is alllll about.

I am pretty adventurous with my food choices, so I got one of the more non traditional foods on the menu - the Quattro gusti (4 flavors, literally) - it was pizza that was mushrooms, prosciutto, olives and artichokes. I didn't find the combination necessarily poor, but not exceptional. The pizza was standard for the Neapolitan style in that it gooey cheesy thin crust and I thought quality was alright. My wife got the Quattro formaggi and thought the olive oil base upset her fragile stomach - so take that as it is. Other than that, the family swore by the food they had - noting favorites like any of the pasta and particularly the chicken Parmesan and spumoni for dessert.

We entered on an early Friday evening and the place was already quite packed. I was somewhat surprised at how small the bar and dining room actually were, but the somewhat eclectic décor made the place feel warm and cozy, even though we were not seated by the fireplace table. Our server, Jane, was nice enough and the service was fairly good, but despite seeing a table next to ours getting a birthday song serenade, nothing was ever said about my groups occasions. Even at the end, when my mom ordered a to-go dessert and I commented on it being a birthday treat, it was never acknowledged. I find that odd and a little irritating. The eggplant sticks appetizer was good, as was the bread and whipped butter. My cod dinner was adequate, with the star being the potato pancake. Mom's Ditka chop was good, but the other two were mixed in their opinions about the Sausage Pepper Vodka Penne. I left the place feeling fairly underwhelmed, I'm afraid. Meh.
