    Canola and lemoncello
    Dan D.

    Very very good homemade ravioli. I have never had a ravioli so large and packed full! Highly recommend the ravioli. The carbonara was unique. There was something off about it but couldn't put my finger on it. Nonetheless it was cute, accommodating, and has very knowledgeable staff. The cocktails are outstanding as well

    Stopped in for dinner last night. We sat outside to enjoy the weather. We decided to start with moscato and water as our drinks. As an appetizer we went with the Calamari, It was better than what I thought it was going to taste like. The service was excellent!

    Vitello al Limone Strauss

    I had the Vitello al Limone Strauss and my wife had the Ragu Della Casa. Both were delicious and just the right portion size. To drink, I got the Downtown Old Fashioned, which I also enjoyed. The server was attentive and checked in regularly.

    Ossobucco (veal) - A dish featuring osso buco with rice and seafood, served on a white plate, with a glass of water and a small bowl of bread in the background.

    This restaurant is incredible! A few things to note - we had a celebratory ladies dinner and called an hour before our dining to try to find a table. The restaurants host was kind, attentive, and polite. She was able to find us a table last minute that would fit, and asked if outside was okay. I shared it was, as I thought the temperature would stay warm, and we really wanted a nice dinner that was close to our hotel (The Pfister). We arrived at our reservation start and the outdoor patio was beautiful, however we quickly realized how chilly it was once the sun set. The host greeted us right away and helped start drinks and appetizers. Our server arrived and he was perfect, efficient yet friendly. We had a situation with one of our ladies who needed to leave the dinner, so our group shrunk to 7 due to an unexpected situation. Due to the weather and size adjustment, we asked if there was room for us inside. They helped us move our whole table into the bar (which was perfect for our group) and ended up finishing our meal inside (THANK YOU FOR HELPING US MOVE INSIDE!). Finally, our bartender (new gentleman) was so attentive and polite, while creating some fun banter with our group. The food was UNBELIEVABLE, and the drinks were perfect. We had the absolute best time given the circumstances and would absolutely come back. Thank you to Aileen (host), John (server), Dan (bartender), Karen (manager) for making our night so special. - the ladies who caused a ruckus!

    One of our favorite restaurants in Milwaukee. Short walk from the Pfister hotel. The italian food served is always great. Nice wine selection. We prefer to sit inside rather than on the sidewalk and reservations are suggested especially in the Summer months.

    Pizza - A cheese pizza with melted cheese and a golden crust is presented on a white plate, with some toppings slightly browned.

    Went for a fun girls night. Ordered shareables, pizza was good just wish it was a little more crispy. We enjoyed ordering different drinks and trying them. Would definitely recommend the barrata cheese!!

    Stuffed Calamari
    Jim S.

    Food was good here. The service was great as well. Started with meatballs and stuffed calamari appetizers. I thought the stuffing calamari was going to be more tender than it was. The carbonara was good but we prefer without the addition of the little lemon flavor. The short rib ravioli special was very good. The chicken saltimbocca and Ossobucco were good as well. The banana dessert was one of the best desserts I have ever had!

    Funghi Portobella alla Griglia - A pasta dish with mushrooms, grated cheese, and herbs served on a white plate, with a glass of water nearby.

    We had a great dinner at Zarletti! We had a reservation which I would recommend and we wrapped up what we were doing early and showed up around 20 min minutes early and they were able to accommodate us (our reservation was at 5:45). They had quite a few specials available and both of us really enjoyed our meals! They started us off with bread, oil, and Parmesan before we had our main courses. The service was awesome and the restaurant had a great ambiance to it and it's both indoor and outdoor seating options. I would definitely recommend Zarletti for any dinner, but especially for a special occasion!

    Omg, delicious.

    What an excellent find. Had dinner here before the Counting Crows show this week. A bit early so we were able to eat at the bar - my favorite place to eat. The bartender was personable and on her game. Provided recommendations on the menu as well as local things to do. She was very helpful, and wish I had gotten her name! The food was outstanding. My Osso Buco was delicious. The texture and flavor of the veal created a mouthfeel that's almost illegal. Lol. The owner comped us limoncello that was made in house. Omg, took me back to my visit to Florence Italy. Very generous. Raviolis were house made and equally delicious. Overall, an excellent dining experience. Highly recommend.

    Fettucine Capasante e Funghi - A white plate contains fettucine pasta topped with mushrooms, grated cheese, and a sprig of parsley, set on a wooden table with a silver placemat.

    Food: I have never tried calamari that wasn't fried so this was a new fun experience. The calamari was chewy but delicious, especially the stuffed crab. All the chewing was worth it! Im not the biggest fan of tomato sauce but this was doable. The best part of Ragú was the hand pulled duck. The noodles were long and satisfying but the sauce lacked. The mushroom pasta was the best meal. Everything in the pasta complimented each other perfectly. Service: We had a trainee waitress and she did great at taking orders. A trained waitress was there to cover anything she missed. While the waitress checked in often, there were big waiting periods in between when all we needed was the check or our leftovers. Towards the end, my group got cold waiting for the waitress to come back. Ambiance: We had a table outside and it was a pretty chilly evening. The tables were set up nicely and had a candle to set the mood. If I go here again, I will definitely get a table inside since the staff will not let you go inside if you're cold.

    I was brought to this steakhouse by a friend going back a few months. I don't spend a lot of time…read morein Milwaukee, so I'd never heard of it. The day we came, I didn't have a taste for steak, which unusual for me! I ordered a wedge salad to start and a crab dish instead of steak and both were delicious. Everything was Fresh with great flavor. The atmosphere in this restaurant is very warm and dark but not too dark and cozy but spacious. Our server was very nice. Very attentive. Fabulous restaurant that I recommend when in Milwaukee.

Staff was not prepared at all, actually telling people the guy who usually does speech did not come and they do not know what to say actually. For any alcohol you will buy you will pay in addition which is fine BUT the price for that drink(s) will be surprising you a lot. For 5 sake drinks the bill was around $370. Last two glasses were having less sake than first glasses we were provided, probably because people who already drunk something would not notice the difference. It's ok to have expensive alcohol pairing with high end dinner but in this case the sake was very regular. By the way, at bar 10 steps away from the Dark room (same hotel, same floor, same the floor area) the same sake did cost $23 for two glasses. Well... I understand people try to run business and earn money but everything should not cross some decency borders. These guys did cross the line in my opinion. Alcohol prices are not mentioned in Menu by the way. I do not recommend this place not only due to drinks pricing policy but due to "ok" food/service/price ratio

There seems to be tons of seating options, and outdoor seating as well for when the days are warmer. And for a brewery, the most important thing? The beer, of course! And it was good.

Cheese curds $14 These were delicious, but it did get salty after munching through the plate. We were limiting ourselves to just one drink, and needed more drinks or another food item to mediate our tastebuds. I'd order again with a proper meal or with more booze.
