Overall, terrific experience. Pasta offerings were great!! Bruschetta was disappointing but calamari and jars are must haves!

Everything was great; food, wine & service was all spectacular

Onesto's homemade gluten free pasta was amazing! I actually thought they may have mistakenly given me gluten-full, but they didn't. :)

Love the vibe of this place and very well decorated for the holiday season! Food never disappoints!

Fantastic all around! Our waitress, Patty, was great and helped to make my daughter’s 16th birthday a special one. We will be back soon!

Great food, as always!
Enjoyed the appetizers, bread and clever cocktails as a warm-up. The team went for the pasta. Great service!

It was good however om my reservation it was stated that it was a birthday and they still didn't do anything but they did it to the table next to us. Also the flour less cake it is quite bad. Plainly sweet with not much flavor.

Great food. Great atmosphere.

Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. Owner came over to check on us and the food was excellent! Some of the best scallops and calamari we’ve ever had and the celery root purée was a nice surprise!

Fantastic food, service, and ambience. Always a great experience

Celebratory birthday dinner with family. The service was exceptional , rivaled only by the food. Pre-dinner drinks, 2 bottles of wine, appetizer, entrees and dessert for 4 cost $260.00 (before tip). Pricey and so worth it.

The food and service were excellent. When we were seated, we told our server what time we had to leave to be on time for a play. He let us know how much time we had to place our order. Our three courses were well timed. He brought the check without having to request it. Great attention to detail!

Great food, house made pastas, and great service. Perfect atmosphere for a date night, and excellent stop for dinner before the theater! Thanks for a an excellent evening!

We really enjoyed our time at Onesto! The food and service were great. We had the seasonal sangria that also was excellent! We will definitely be back again soon.

Great night with a girlfriend. Thanks for an amazing dinner

Charming, bustling vibe with SUPER service! Tasty cocktails at vibrant brick-walled bar; nicely balanced & priced wine list at table. Dinner menu was a little heavy on the cream for our tastes. The arugula salad with mushrooms, goat cheese and dried cherries is outstanding!

Great food and place !!

We were in Milwaukee staying at the Kimpton to celebrate our anniversary. Onesto is across the street. It's a great Italian restaurant. We've been here a couple times before, but not in several years. Great to see it's still the same great restaurant.

Fantastico

Waiter was polite, food came out fast, food was amazing. Would recommend.

Food was very good, but portions were small; expensive

Everything was great. Only challenge was our table was right by the entrance so it was a little tight.

Bday. Had a great time. Service was perfect and food was good too!

Excellent lunch. All aspects were outstanding. Out of town guests were very impressed with this Third Ward favorite spot. As usual, the pasta was perfectly prepared.

Everything was perfect. The front of the house was accommodating, friendly and wonderful to deal with. The waiter went above and beyond to make our dinner special. This is one of the best restaurants in Milwaukee and the service, food and atmosphere are amazing.

Honestly the food lacked flavor, we had the calamari, bolognese and the meat ball dish. Food was just bland and calamari was rubbery. Other than the food, the rest of the experience, service and atmosphere was great.

We enjoyed a dinner at Onesto. Our server Adam was excellent in that he was helpful with our questions about the menu and attentive. One of us had the bolognese and the other the Fusilli and both were wonderful. A great dining experience and we would definitely return!!!

Waiter was not very attentive to my wife and me. I noticed other customers were given a complimentary bread basket prior to the main meal. We did not receive one. Also missing was the option of grated cheese other diners received but our waiter did not bother with us on that option. My wife asked for decaf coffee at the end of our meal. The waiter responded with these exact words, "We don't serve decaf here" with a sarcastic attitude. I will go to this restaurant again. Won't allow Adam to be our waiter. I did point out the missing items to the hostess who must have passed that on to our waiter. We got a free desert only because it was our anniversary but no mention of any apology. It was not a busy night for him

I traditionally love this restaurant but I had a very disappointed date experience there. Arrived at 8:00, order a drink and an appetizer. Told the server that we wanted to take our time with the meal and that we were not prepared to order our main course yet. The minute our appetizer was out she was pressuring us to order. We ordered our dessert and main course at that time and told her that we didn’t want it put in right away and wanted to take our time. She agreed. Then 10 minutes later our entrees were out and 10 minutes after that our dessert came. We were given our whole meal in 38 minutes. This was a very disappointing dining experience. I expect more from my servers and I’m not big on sending back food.

The warm mushroom salad is wonderful as is the scallop entree.

As always wonderful and delicious

Great "special occasion" place!
Our waitress was prompt friendly, and knowledgeable.

Delicious homemade pasta. Quiet setting in a normally crowded area.

Awesome food! Shared several things at our table, especially loved the fusilli! Yum! Would definitely go back next time we’re in town!

Service food ambiance was great

My experience at this restaurant was mixed. I found the bartenders to be cold, not very friendly. No smiles, no welcoming greetings. The food was average. I ordered the lobster ravioli which was good, but I was really surprised because I did not taste any lobster. I tasted mostly cream cheese and the pasta. The venue is good, lively, and informal in its setting. I’m glad I visited this restaurant, but I would not put it on my return list. There are just so many good options in the third ward that I would consider others first.

The Italian wedding soup was delicious. I was grateful that we were able to eat outside.

Anniversary

I have eaten here a fair amount in the past and have always enjoyed it; however, last night was a disappointment. First, our table was not ready, which is understandable as it was very busy. The hostess appeared flustered and there was nowhere to wait. Once seated, the manager was very apologetic and promised that "there would be wine"; however, this never came. Our server was very brusque and rushed, although by this time, things had wound down. When he asked for our appetizer order, he literally left before we could order a second item. After receiving our entrees (which were quite smaller than usual), he did not check to see how we were doing, but when one person in our party was finished, he cleared the plate without asking if we were done (fortunately, the rest of us were actively eating). Overall, I was very disappointed; however, given my previous positive experience, I will certainly give them another chance

Had a great waitress with awesome recommendations food was superb!
