Spinasse focuses on northern Italian cuisine of the Piedmont region of Italy, think between Milan and the French border. The flavors were fresh, rich and creatively presented. It is on the pricey side, but perfect for our special occasion. I highly recommend it.

I count on Nells for an always reliable experience. Excellent food and service. It was a warm day and we sat outside the outside tables have a nice view of Green Lake. They are a bit noisier due to the Tavern next door. Compared to inside, which is always quiet. I relish Nell’s for a place where you can really talk with your companion
