Calamari on the grill
Frank S.

Love the pizzas. Food's great service is great In a location on Mequon Road can be missed easy to find some of the great pastas can be found here in Milwaukee. Give it a shot Prego.

chop salad
Carie F.

had a wonderful date night at zarletti mequon! we were glad to have made a reservation because it was a comfortably busy spot at 6pm on a Friday night. started with a salad and meatball appetizer. both were delicious & a very generous portion. I enjoyed a margarita pizza, which had a nice thin but also chewy crust & delicious sauce & cheese. drink menu had plenty of wines, cocktails & NA options.

Let me preface this review by saying if the review was only about the ambiance I would have given this place a 5. SERVICE: Four of us went out to dinner to celebrate my dad's birthday. I had put on the reservation comments it was my dad's birthday. I even told "the birthday boy" to order first in front of the server. The waitress Kristan never once said happy birthday or attempted to make a comment about it being his birthday. Being a former waitress I find this extremely disrespectful. DRINKS: We ordered gin and tonic, a brut rose, and 2 beers to start. All good drinks. FOOD: My dad ordered red snapper which was a special. For $40, it should have came with soup or salad, a potato, and a vegetable. It only came with mashed potatoes OR vegetables. For how expensive it is, I find this ridiculous. Everyone else ordered the lobster ravioli which was good, but should also come with a soup or salad for $30. DESSERT: The tiramisu and cheesecake were each $8.00 and the best part of the meal. Total bill was $204..... for the amount of food we got with our meal I will not be returning. I can get a much better meal for cheaper somewhere else.

This place has a parking lot and is bigger and spacier than the downtown location. Our waiter was young and friendly. 9 out of 10 of us liked our food and enjoyed it. One friend ordered the special mushroom ravioli in brown butter sauce. When it arrived it looked good. There were abt 7 pieces. She gave 3 away for friends to try it. She ate 2 and spit it out. The filling was very salty. The others that tried it agreed. She called our waiter over and told him she spit out most the ones that she tried to eat due to the salty filling. He took her plate to the back to talk to the mgr. He came back and said he tried one and agreed it was too salty. He offered her something else to eat. So she got another plate and he later came back with a "complimentary" dessert. Then the bill came and both the ravioli and her second plate were charged. She asked to see the mgr and the person never came to apologize or anything. The waiter needed the mgr approval to take the charge off. He never reached her and he just took it off. We will not be visiting this place ever again. If the mgr did not have the courtesy to come and apologize then this place is not worth a second chance.

Honestly, not my favorite spot. The food wasn't bad but it wasn't worth the price. There are better options for dinner in the immediate area.

Italian Chopped Salad
Amy S.

Really fantastic service from the host to the waitstaff to the food runners. I ordered a salad thinking it's probably going to be generic and I'll regret it, but I just didn't feel like pasta. Wow I was so wrong, this is probably my new favorite salad. I ordered the Italian chopped salad and it kind of reminded me of the Italian version of a Cobb salad, bleu cheese, crispy pancetta, loved that they added couscous in it there too to make it a more like a meal. To start we have the stuffed olives, they were good, but olives are so small if you stuff them with a sausage/beef mixture does it really taste like anything different? Not really, so it was just more like deep fried olives, still good though. Will definitely be back to try some more of their main menu and looking forward to updating my review

Housemade Burrata

Had the chance to enjoy the new year's Eve dinner at Zarletti! Having heard so many good things about the food and vibe here at Zarletti, my husband and I finally made the trip here. Mequon location was great, plenty of parking spaces, nice building and decorations. We were greeted at the front door, and the server led us to the table. We had the house made cheese platter and two different pasta dishes! All tasted so good (carbs overload ) Service was quick and smooth, we loved the experience!

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.

Well shit, no wonder this place is nominated for a James Beard Award. I'm literally still thinking…read moreabout all the good food 24 hours later. 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.

The host was brilliant saw I was in a walking boot put down a wine box for my leg. Service was a big slow. The dinner was almost like 1 hour and 45 mins, there is quite some time between courses. Ambiance was cozy, it was quite busy for a Thursday night.

A special touch. Equally impressive was the pricing experience. We had a starter , 5 cocktails, 3 main dishes (huge portions) and two desserts ...all slightly over $200 dollars.

The sauce was delicious! The Chicken Parmesan was also really good with almost three pieces of chicken, lots of meat.

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.
