This is one place that does it right from the hard working employees helping their customers to making sure they don't skimp on toppings you want and you can ask for extra toppings at any time. They have all sorts of veggie and meat options to choose from and have an unlimited Amt of options. For 15$ it's a great lunch or dinner option in the area with fresh ingredients and great service! I would def go back. Only drawback is it takes a bit of time for cooking the pizza but that's all part of the process of how you will enjoy it

Oh my goodness--I truly felt like I was back in Italy while dining at Mike's! My husband and I…read morefirst met Mike when he was part owner of Mama Mia's on the square in Baraboo, and now he's opened his own restaurant as the sole owner. Mike immigrated here legally from Albania and became a U.S. citizen, and you can taste the pride he puts into every dish--everything is homemade, even the pasta. I had the spicy chicken arrabbiata with Alfredo sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. The homemade garlic knots were mouthwatering, and the salads were fresh and crisp. My friend ordered the shrimp pasta and loved it. I also brought home two pizzas for my family, and they said it was the best pizza they've ever had! The service was excellent, and the restaurant itself is spacious with a great bar area. From now on, Mike's Italian Restaurant will be our go-to spot whenever we're in Baraboo. If you're in the area, give Mike a try--you won't be disappointed!

This bar was open and we were able to walk right in. We were warmly welcomed by the individual behind the bar. We snagged the table and convinced the individual to switch on the football game on the TV above us. We enjoyed a few drinks as we watched the game. She was happy to list off what was available as all four of us wanted something a little different. Menus had options for appetizers or full meals. We ordered fried cheese curds for the table first. We gobbled them up quickly. There was a changing of the guard behind the bar and we soon discovered a new waiter. He seemed gruff but really was sweet. It was starting to get busy and he was on his own. We put in our food orders and enjoyed the football game while we waited. My friend got the Taco Pizza and said she loved it. My husband and I shared a nice big hamburger and fries plate. Another individual at the table got the popcorn shrimp but there was plenty of food to go around. We all enjoyed our meals and drinks and the atmosphere. The regulars were all up at the bar and enjoying the camaraderie during the football game. I can see why this place is a regular go to for some. Cheers!

I spent a night in Dodgeville during my weekend trip to House on the Rock and Taliesin. When I…read morelooked for places to eat dinner that night, Yelp revealed only two options within about a 15-mile radius. One of them was Dino's. When my friend and I asked the hotel desk clerk for restaurant recommendations, he said Dino's is among the best in the area, so off we went. When we arrived and saw the exterior Old Style sign and rather sketchy front door, which included a taped, handwritten note warning that they accept only cash or checks for payment, I was tempted to leave immediately. It looks like a hole-in-the-wall bar, not THE place in town for dinner. But we were hungry and up for an adventure, so we went in. As expected, there were patrons sitting at the bar, but a few feet away were a few tables, so we sat down and waited, and then waited some more. After 10 minutes or so, we figured we must have to order food at the bar, so my friend went up to ask. While she was gone, a server came to our table, apologized for the delay and then began attending to us. She asked what I'd like to drink, and I asked if there were malt beverages or any options besides beer. She seemed confused by the question and stated that they have lemonade, so I decided to stick with water. A little while later, we saw another patron drinking a White Claw, though. The menu featured typical bar fare such as burgers and pizza. We were there on a Friday night, and there was a handwritten fish fry menu posted on a pillar, along with some lighthearted pandemic restaurant rules (see photo). I ordered the three-piece cod dinner, which came with a choice of potatoes. I got a baked potato. My meal was also served with a soft roll, coleslaw, tartar sauce and sour cream. I actually enjoyed it more than I expected to, mostly given the indoor and outdoor atmosphere, and it was a decent meal (though not particularly healthy) for $11.

Inside, it's all lodge-like knotty cedar on it's high ceiling and walls, and while that may not be novel for this part of the state, it is especially good quality, well-maintained, and nicely designed compared to the interiors of many of the other well-worn taverns in the area. However; that does not carry over to the bar seats that are well worn-out and held together with electric tape. So who cares, no one can see it once their butt is firmly in place. Highly recommended: Prime Rib breakfast every Saturday and Sunday from 8a.m. til 12 p.m. Tender, juicy, lightly browned, served with tasty au jus, eggs your way, and hash browns made "special" with the addition of onion and melted cheese, on request. Noteworthy touches: an adorable, elderly poodle mascot behind the bar, a lazy calico cat with her name embroidered on her own stool, and customers are welcome to bring in their well-behaved pups, as well; I would be remiss not to mention a small but adequate selection of slots in a side room near the screened back door. The requisite beer and alcohol are available but served in plastic "glasses", so do like the natives and drink beer from the bottle. Full, decent quality pub grub menu. Ask the bartender for directions to Trader's tiki bar and food on the adjacent camp grounds on the Wisconsin river. It's called an island and it has the vibe. If the upscale, aggressive bar scene in Chicago is beginning to seem more chore than it's worth, the quasi-dive/restaurants and supper clubs strung like wooden beads on a coir chain along the by-ways of this close-in Driftless Region (Google it) of Wisconsin are well worth the scenic, pastoral drive and time--especially if you're not looking to hook up, fall in love, get married, and have kids. It's simply a great way to unwind, relax, and just be yourself by yourself, with your best buds, or SO--and return home with change for your ten-spot jingling in your pocket.
