Wonderful dinner. Great attentive service. I ordered the special : trio of tenderloins with risotto. Omg was to die for. We also had bruschetta (good but had better) Penne Italiano (great) Chicken Alfredo (devoured) Hand tossed pizza (delicious!) Cannolis for dessert (yum) Highly recommend. Make a reservation and dress up. Saw many in sweatshirts and shorts - they seemed out of place in such a classy atmosphere. read more

Sarento's - Trio of tenderloins. Perfect medium rare - Italian Near Me - Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin

We have eaten here a bunch of times, normally good, but this was an all time low. All of our salads had wilted and stale lettuce. One dish was so saturated with salt that it had to be a mistake in the kitchen, but they didn't fix it and just sent it to the table anyway. My wife told them about it twice. Did they bring a new one? Nope. Just "oh" and offered nothing. Catatonic service kept making mistakes. Asked for bread without garlic, of course it never came. I commented that we never got the bread we asked for. Just "oh, here's your bill." No drink refills. I told the hostess at the door that it was horrible. Again, just "oh, well, have a nice night." The correct answer is "let me get a manager and see what we can do." But that's asking too much, I guess. Definitely got the idea that it's simply too much trouble to serve a good meal. "Eat the junk we give you, pay your bill, shut up, and get out so we can stick someone else with their bad meal also." read more

Staying at the Wilderness or Glacier Canyon Lodge? They'll tell you to get Sarento's. We bit - they're close and we wanted food fast. Reviews looked good, so why not? Perhaps our expectations were too high. Things started off great. Our pizzas (the "waterpark special" of 2 pizzas, breadsticks and a 2-liter) arrived well before the 30-40 minutes we were told. Great - during spring break, that's nearly a miracle! The pizza looked fine, but I was underwhelmed. The italian sausage had some heat to it, which isn't my preference. Nothing really stood out - the cheese was okay, the sauce was okay. It was all just... okay. I hate to give 2 stars, but as Yelp defines it, "Meh. I've experienced better." I waited to review them until I after I had the pizza cold. Sometimes a pizza can redeem itself. Nah. Just... well, "okay". For spring break... for a family vacation... and for the money, I want something memorable. I suspect their dine-in cuisine is much better. I won't tell you to not come here, but I won't tell you to get their pizza delivered to your waterpark condo/hotel. read more

Very expensive for MICROWAVED food! Food is awful and taste let's just not say good. I've worked at food buissnes before and I can tell the food is not authentic and is 100 percent microwaved Waiter was very rude and threw my fork and a aggressive manner I came with a party of over 10 today around 830 I would not giving him a tip but was included Never again especially for microwaved food The bread is from little chasers lol Kalamary was from dollar store 5 stars to the busboy who was European I believe who kept on filling waters promptly He got a tip from me Other than that I do not recommend it's not worth it read more

Stopped by and was told a reservation is required. Made a reservation for next day. Showed up the next day only to find out they do not have a reservation for me. Not sure what's going on but they need service training from a real pro. Didn't get to eat there but hopefully their food is better than the service read more

Classy place good food and service just had salad and appetizers at the bar but very good touch pricey but not real bad everyplace over priced now days read more

This gem deserves more stars than it has been given. The service was great and the food was delicious! I had the bolognese and my husband had chicken parmigiana. Both were amazing! We also loved the ambience of the environment. It was dim but the tables had lighting placed so you could see. A great date night restaurant. This will be a must come place when we come back to the area. read more

Awful! Party of 8 sat there 20 minutes and no one even came to our table. Other people who came after us were waited on. Drama at another table involving a bachelorette party, waitress and tips. I have never been there before while in Dells and will never attempt it again. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

Saturday dinner, a lot of people but because there's only me and my mom, we got seated right away. We really love the specials that night, cannelloni and the blackened salmon. The cannelloni, esp the sauce was worth the price, it was 30$ in our bill. Their breadsticks was served right away. Aside from our waitress, other staff are also very attentive. read more

You don't expect a restaurant in Wisconsin Dells to be so legit! Family friendly, strong and delicious Martinis. We celebrated our daughter's birthday and they were so kind. Our waiter was helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend. read more

Food great, ambiance great, service was fantastic! We had lasagna, chicken fettuccine, and a caprese salad. It was all so good!

Food is always delicious especially the breadsticks with olive oil! The service is slow on the weekends because of being so packed so the waitress's have lots of tables but that's fine so you can enjoy your company. I personally love Mushroom Ravioli Al Forno , it's a appetizer but it's my meal, six raviolis with tons of Alfredo all over them read more

Service was a little slow at first, but ended up fine. Food was great. Id give it 5 stars but there was some graffiti on the wall on the tuscan landscape by a corner booth. It seemed like a gang tag because it was a crown with "SBG" on it with the name "vody" next to it. Ill bump rating to 5 stars once graffiti is removed. read more

Wow, the quality of this place has really gone down over the years. There were 10 of us for dinner and everyone ordered something different. The problem... Except for the protein and pasta shape - EVERYTHING TASTED THE SAME! Same sauce. Same but that doesn't mean good. The built in business from the waterpark/hotel has really made for a lazy business that clearly doesn't care. :( Bummer. read more

Not bad for being in the Dells. Good and fast service. A little overpriced for small dinner portions. Martinis on a Monday were 4$. The shrimp and risotto dinner was delicious with a side salad. The shrimp and scallops someone else ordered was small lacked seafood and overpriced-almost 30$. The scallops were not jumbo as their menu says. It's a real nice ambience. Family friendly with a large selection of pizza. I would come back and try something else on their menu that isn't seafood. read more

We went in with our whole family (5 adults, 1 child and a baby). They had a great selection which helps with a group like ours. Everyone loved the bread sticks. I has the seafood Cannelloni which was top notch very light, thin pasta and high quality seafood inside. I also really enjoyed the salad dressing's I tried they were homemade and great. The service literally couldn't have been any better. Overall wonderful experience! read more

Absolutely awful service. 2 hours waiting for our 2 pizzas to be delivered. Called several times was told they had no idea what happened. They said the pizzas would Be delivered in the next few minutes and order was free. Still nothing. Starving kids waiting for food. Crappy service. read more

This place was the best place we ate all vacation. The NY strip was the best steak I ever had!!!

We went here thinking we'd order pizza. Little did we know it was a full Italian menu. My lasagna was fantastic. Best I've eaten. My friend got the medallions and was also very happy. We tried a side of the fettuccini as well!! Thumbs up!! We tried several different drinks as well as appetizers. Service at the bar was great as well as service from our server!! I'd definitely recommend and go back. Server was friendly to talk to and open and honest when we asked questions. I wish I remembered her name. She did great. She was blond on Dec 29th pm shift. And she said her "gramps" liked the veal! read more

Oh, I had such high hopes for this restaurant based on the extensive online menu and exterior of the building when driving by. Our server, Jennifer, changed hands halfway through with no explanation, bread was tasteless, salad and fettucine was a ridiculously small sized portion, and don't bother with the desserts. We honestly thought the creme brulee was a can of wet cat food. It was disgusting so we sent it back after one bite (was still charged for it). Tiramisu was not available, so we tried the lemon cheesecake which was still frozen when it arrived at the table. Atmosphere was nice, and the bar has very comfortable chairs and it can accomodate many people. That's about all it had going for it. read more

The food was delicious and the staff were amazing! I went with my family and we had the pizza, one of the best I ever had!

WOW. that is one of the only things i can even say after dining here. first, we arrived at about 8:00 pm on a Thursday and there were four hostesses working. they waited probably a minute to greet us then took awhile to find us a table even though it was extremely empty. then we had to wait for awhile for our server to even come over. by then we were ready to order drinks and food. we ordered cheese ravioli, mushroom ravioli, chicken fettuccine with soup, a side of fettuccine. we also made it clear we wanted bread right away. then we forgot we ordered a Caesar so we ordered that too. the caesar and soup came early but 1 of the 4 of us just wanted bread. we politely asked about the bread and they were like oh yea it's coming. soon after, my sister opened up her cutlery and discovered her fork was covered in red sauce?!?! YUCK. me and my sister went back out to the car to grab our own plastic silverware since we were disgusted. then asked about the bread AGAIN 10 minutes later and he said he would go remind them. the food came a little while later and we asked for our bread AGAIN. it was a different server and he said yes but it still never came. by this point, you can imagine how mad i was. finally, the server came to ask how it's going and this was the 6TH time we asked about our bread, he said the oven was turned off and he would go make it?!?!!!?! well that woulda been nice to know. the food was pretty good and the server was nice and apologized but there's not a chance in the world we'd come back. there was probably only 3 servers and they were all running around like crazy. maybe they should hire more servers instead of 4 hostesses standing there doing nothing. if you are wanting sarentos, i'd recommend take out. i attached images of the fork and cheese ravioli read more

We come to the Dells once a year. Instead of staying at our hotel we decided to try something local. The pizza here is top notch. It's so tasty and the complimentary bread basket is good as well. I highly recommend this place. I'll be putting this on my list of places to eat every time I come here. read more

We picked this restaurant ironically because reviewers criticized the fact that several people were unmasked. (We have never bought into the COVID maskerade.) That said, we were so pleased with our choice of restaurants. First, the ambiance is very romantic. My husband is an Italian from NJ, and he said it was the best Italian food he has had in decades. He loved his eggplant Parmesan and reported the red sauce is thick and rich. The portion sizes are filling. I ordered the pizza, and although I ordered it with tomato sauce, it came out "Margherita," but it was still good, and crispy, the way I like it. read more

Service was good, and it was so nice to have a dinner without screaming kids (which is hard to find in the Dells). The food was lackluster but expensive. Tomatoes in the caprese salad weren't ripe. Their signature veal piccata was bland. Drinks for our group didn't arrive until the food was served due to inexperienced, new bartenders. They didn't know what a Tom Collins is -- what I was served wasn't drinkable. read more

Went here for my daughter's birthday. The food was subpar and the server would not split our tab when we were a very large party. They did do a nice sundae and sing for her birthday. read more

Nice decor. You get the sense that it is more on the upscale side than other restaurants in the Dells. Ultra fast service. No joke. You get three servers per table. I didn't understand why but it worked for me. We ordered two salads. Caprese salad (pretty good and on point) and the Salerno salad (dry as all heck). Pizza was probably one of the best I've had in a long time. It tastes like it was baked in a brick oven. My kids loved it. We had tiramisu for dessert. I'd skip it if I were you. It tasted more like cake without the tiramisu flavor. It wasn't good at all. I would certainly try the restaurant again. read more

Quaint atmosphere. Had salmon special and grilled calamari special- salmon was cooked well, asparagus were delicious but rosemary risotto was very bland. Husband had chicken Marsala which was good but just average. House salad was typical. Sarento salad was good but doused in salad dressing. Service was ok as well. Taking dessert to go so can't comment on that just yet. Here visiting the Dells, stayed at Sundara Spa and Inn...came bc they recommended but prob would go elsewhere for a nice dinner. read more

We all unanimously agreed that nobody would order the Philly Cheese Steak pizza again. Weird tasting pizza. It almost tasted like the sauce was A1 sauce slathered all over. Not a good time. Delivery was a plus. Came pretty quickly with plates, entrees hot and good service. Pizza was the only let down. The seafood linguini was full of good sized scallops and shrimp. May or may not return. read more

Came in for Mother's Day dinner. We had a table of 6 and the service was quick and professional. The host and hostess's all were dressed very nice with ties. There was a man singing in the bar and was entertaining many guests. Out food came out fast and delicious. We have eaten here a number of times and always been happy with the service and food. A good stop for some Italian food in the Dells. read more

Awesome classic Italian restaurant. I was looking for Joe Pesci to walk in. Food was everything I expected, we loved it. The gravy was great!! read more

The food was good. The 2 star review is because I specifically told the waiter I was ordering so I could fit in dessert. Meaning I had soup and an appetizer. We arrived at 6pm and proceeded to have a good meal. When it came time for dessert the first dessert I ordered (hazelnut mouse torte) was out. So then he offered the tiramisu, stating that they had this. After 10 more minutes he came out and told me they are out of that too. This is disappointing on many levels. The server should be aware of what isn't available and a few, really 1 hour into dinner service when we were seated to be out of 2 desserts is unusual. read more

I'm not sure why this spot has mediocre reviews. I was very hesitant to try, but walked away super impressed. The patio dining was great and the food was really tasty. I could see some people being harsh due to the prices, but it really was good portions for fresh tasty food. The server was working her tail off and the tables were nice and spread out. Some of the highlights was the stuffed shrimp appetizer and seafood fettuccine. The kids menu was also great for both of our little guys. It was for sure their favorite meal of our trip and like I said I came in with low expectations, but came away very impressed. I'd love to come back post covid and try the inside. read more

This is getting three stars because the servers were great! Kudos to them. The hosting team... not so much. They weren't particularly friendly. But the biggest complaint I have is this: We arrived shortly after 4:00 and asked to be seated outside. We were told that they don't open the patio until around 7:00. What?!? It's the summer, and they have this beautiful patio, and they won't seat guests outside until 7:00 PM?!? In hindsight, I wish we had gone somewhere else instead. read more

I read in the reviews that there were people at the restaurant without masks. Last night after a mediocre dinner my wife expressed interest in returning there. I told here we should go to Olive Garden. read more

Wish I knew how the food was. Half the staff weren't wearing masks. The hostesses pulled them up only when they saw us. We were seated with four other tables grouped together in a small back room even though the restaurant was pretty empty. We left. read more

We both ordered the special, filet trio. It was outstanding! There was also a young man playing acoustic guitar and he was great. This restaurant never disappoints! read more

This place is definitely more on the pricey side, but the service is great and the food is delicious. They have a very classy atmosphere and if you've got 20-some bucks to spend on dinner, I'd definitely recommend Sarentos read more

We called in about 5pm on a Friday to see if they could get two groups seated separately with a party of 18 and party of 15! They said YES and when we arrived our accommodations were ready and the service was fantastic! The server was accurate with all of the separate orders we had as well and made it so easy! The food and drinks were amazing!! All of us were so happy we got into such a nice restaurant with good food at the last minute for such a big group and then on top of it to have attentive staff! Thank you so much! Definitely would recommend and come back again! Wish I could remember our waiters name but he was great! read more

We called in advance and asked the host 2 questions: do you socially distance tables and does your staff (both service and cooks) wear masks. We got a positive response for each. When we went in, neither were true. No sooner had we sat down that we then decided to leave. read more
