    I have been eating Rosati's for 40 years. Best pizza by far. Great ribs, Italian Beef, anything and everything from here is awesome. Thank you ​

    The pie!

    Food: 4 Service: 3 Ambiance: 3 I think I had too high of expectations for a deep dish pizza in Madison, but overall the food here is very good. Everything tasted fresh - mozzarella sticks, cheese bread , and the pizza all had fresh ingredients. It's hard for me to find a Chicago deep dish that is stuffed properly and where the consistency of the sauce used to top the pizza is more like sautéed tomatoes (diced) and not actual sauce. I like my sauce a little more hearty, but overall this is good food and good experience.

    Last night I needed a traditional type of pie, having been mostly visiting the Neapolitan styled places enjoying their fire oven pizza offerings nearly exclusively for ages. Getting a basic pepperoni pizza with a semblance of something that I hope is more authentic than the corporate versions offered by places that are the McDs of the US pizza offerings. Rosati's seems to be the best option in this area of west Madison. The sauce is certainly my preferred sauce type. Very tomato and garlic heavy. Tonight I drove around the cities western streets for an hour trying to avoid going home to have to eat which would mean I needed to cook something for myself. I'm very tired of having to cook for myself night after night. Easter I cooked for the family and like usual I had to do the dishes prior to cooking because the kitchen wasn't ready for me create properly. Following a nice family dinner I was graced with being the one who was expected to do the dishes. Some days I really wonder why I had a family in the first place. Oh yeah, my wife said she wanted children or what was the point. So I was strong armed into it. Now that she wants a divorce I realize that my purpose was served, now that the kids are grown. I'm half way dead serious about that statement. So tonight I decided to return to last night's pizza place because I discovered that they also have a small seating area. The place is a dumpy dive with very standard old school offerings and decor. Seating is sparse and uncomfortable. But the lady serving me was friendly and attentive. The Italian Beef I ordered was massive. Very well filled to overflowing meat and an abundance of hot giardiniera. That was my first time in awhile having this sandwich, and well beyond the last few versions. The jus came on the side. Something that seems like it should be the only way to get it. Back when I very first visited a place of this sort when I first visited or perhaps lived in the Midwest and discovered this creation when I still had very little experience in Chicago and what it was about, I was told to have the Italian Beef dipped. I didn't know what was going to be delivered to my table. It was certainly something that was about to make an impression. You can't eat it with your hands. Though I tried in vain. A huge mess. Still I'm often tempted to get it done that way because I think it is supposed to be done that way. But it is not a good idea. Sure, using a fork is an option, in fact I can only imagine the next best alternative would be to not bother using hands at all and dive in face first. After all, it's a messy procedure. Tonight I tried with the jus as a side to dip. It was still a mess, and this sandwich simply demands to be eaten very hastily. Did I already mention the jus was very good? This is the first time I've ever had it and actually considered adding salt. It didn't need it. But usually it's mostly salt and secondly it is not tasting of beef. I'm thinking if Rosati's has soup, it's probably very good. The only thing I would add is that the meal was served very quickly but the fries arrived lukewarm at most. Because they were still fresh tasting I didn't want to make a fuss. Adding a bit of salt and a lot of pepper, and I was pretty contented. Being an Italian joint I didn't want to embarrass myself by requesting tartar sauce. I LOVE black pepper and tartar sauce with French fries. Most people, including my previously mentioned irritant I'm soon to be referring to as the X, that's among the many things she's been using as a way to insult me for years. One that I admit is a bit legit. But hell, they're MY FRIES! I can enjoy them anyway I please. Thank you very much. Four stars only because I don't have anything else to really compare with nor do I want to state that this is the best of the best. But it's definitely a place I return to when I'm in the mood for this kind of stuff. Prices are great. Service is always from the staff, and that has been my experience at this location every single visit.

    I have my 12 coupons my son just couldn't come pick them up

    I called and had great service over the phone it's been a while since I e ordered from this location pizza hot good I had coupons but sent my son to pick up the pizza and they still gave him the price thank you Rosatis

    A medium Chicago-style deep dish pizza, Rosati's style. 6 slices weigh between four to five lbs together (no exaggeration).

    Want Chicago-style pizza in Madison? This place has that famous deep dish deliciousness that is so good that you won't finish it! Located next to a pretty good CBD shop (the owner owns both that store & this one), Rosati's is a restaurant that has the good stuff- fine Italian food that will put meat on your bones real quick! I had the craving for a deep dish while en route to faraway Wassau, and was not disappointed. The pizza itself takes about 20-30 minutes to prepare, which I imagine is the expectation for any type of deep dish Chicago-style pizza anywhere. A medium is somewhat pricey (about $20 or so), and I could only finish about three slices despite having a huge appetite. The seating area within the venue is somewhat dark for an afternoon after Wisconsin snowfall, yet has quite a few Chicaco throwback framed pictures on the wall to make you feel as if you are back within the Windy City (there needs to be more Madison stuff on the wall other than Badger attire, FYI). Good customer service, good food, and a full belly. That's pretty much my experience here.

The interior is very modern and upscale. Lots of drink selections and a pretty good wine menu. We got the bacon wrapped dates appetizer and it was very flavorful. Warm bread and butter arrived and that was Al's good. All of my party finished their food. I got the pasta and liked the texture of the noodles with the tag sauce. It's a good sized portion. When the dessert came we were not expecting one order of gelato to have 3 scoops! Not bad for $9!! But I'm from San Francisco so likely why I expected one scoop for $9 ha.

While seated at the bar, I was engaged in conversation by one of the servers Josie. A delightful young college student from U of Wisconsin. She told me about the area, the university and things of interest in the area. She was attentive to her customers, but when she had a brief moment, she would reengage me in conversation. She and all of the other servers were like bees swarming all over the restaurant. Their staff are extremely hard working and diligent to their customers. This was my first time here while visiting for work assignment. I plan to make this my "must have" when revisiting.

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!!

If you haven't eaten at Fratelli's, make a point of visiting there. You won't be disappointed.
