Our waitress was amazing, super personable and gave great recommendations. Food and wine were delicious, highly recommend.
It was a wonderful experience overall, very quiet place with delicious foods and better drinks
Took my daughter who is a Nurse out for dinner. Great food and service!! Best Italian in a long while. Only issue was the red wine, I told the server the Italian wine tasted like it had been open for a few days. Server only promised she would do something for us if we ordered more wine.....
Our waiter was outstanding and the food was delicious!!
The food was SO good. I got the gnocchi. GREAT flavor. Portions were small though, I was not filled up.
Scallops entree may have been the best I have ever had. This place is fantastic. Our server, Emily, was prompt and friendly. We had a wonderful meal.
Always so good! This restaurant is one of my staples because of their consistency......they really have amazing food. We had a full meal, but a shout out on the Calamari ...ohhh, yum! Loved the spice, sauciness + our server brought us extra bread....we're not afraid of carbs soooo, that was a bonus!!
Fantastic New Year's Eve meal with family! Delicious Tortellini, Bolognese, and Short Rib Entrees. Tiramisu was outstanding, gelato very good as well. Top notch service. Recommend highly!
Great place wonderful pasta! Service was exceptional!
Delicious warm mushroom salad starter and scallop entree.
Went back the next night for exactly the same dishes (and wine).
Staff was excellent too!
Excellent Service. Onestro has done a stand up job with ensuring safe / friendly / enjoyable dining.
The mushroom salad was AMAZING and my petite sirah was delicious!!! I was super excited to try the eggplant but it wasn’t great... definitely wouldn’t get it again, would have been better without all of the seeds and with a bit more flavor. Server was attentive but not personal or nice, just came and took orders and left.
Everything was very good. Nice place for a small celebration. Onesto made the experience very enjoyable. Would definitely dine again.
Great atmosphere and covid safe distanced tables. Lobster pasta amazing and good beer selection.
Food was excellent, some of the best Italian food we've ever had. Service, ambiance, and presentation was all fantastic. The only thing is that it was expensive - understandable, given the quality of the restaurant. But especially for the appetizers, we wished for more food. But that was also because it was so delicious. The bruschetta was incredibly unique, different from anything we'd ever had before, but we would highly recommend.
Cocktails were delicious and unique. The pastas we ordered had awesome flavors and the bruschetta with the honey drizzle was amazing! Great experience and good job with the distancing of tables!
Good ambiance, good drinks. Mushroom pasta was good but the others in the group (tortellini and bolonagnes) were so-so.
Awesome every time. Mussels and calamari are the best appetizers. Ask for extra bread to dip in the sauce!!
Amazing quality and unique menu. Proper social distancing between tables. Would 100% go back.
It was freezing inside and we ate with our coats on, quite sub-par for the typical Onesto experience, dulls the experience. They should consider creating a better system for the front door cold air. Minus that, fabulous as always!
it was great except the waitress got my order wrong and not the other person i was with so she left his food to get cold on the table while she went to tell the kitchen to make what i actually ordered.
We were able to relax and enjoy a bottle of wine, apps and dinner without feeling rushed, while we caught up. It was very nice!
We ordered ceasar salad, needed more dressing. Lobster ravioli was amazing, and the pasta with mushrooms was good but a little dry, needed more sauce.
The food was great & Sarah, our server was wonderful with both attentiveness & recommendations. Tables were spread apart & everyone was wearing masks, as well as servers were gloved with sanitizer at each table. They really made the best of dining out during a pandemic.
Anniversary
great dinner food and service. would definitely dine there again
The ambiance wins this restaurant. The menu is extremely limited and the website is not up to date. I was looking forward to papardelle, which was advertised on the site, but they weren’t serving. I ended getting the scallops, which were perfectly cooked, but a bit gritty. The associated zucchini noodles were quite tasty and also perfectly cooked. My SO had the truffle cream sauce over fusilli. The pasta was a little more cooked than I would typically want, but otherwise, I think the taste was spot on. All in all, some hits and some misses.
The ambiance is great and the food is delicious. It’s a perfect inbetween for nice, elegant authentic food and also a more casual, inviting atmosphere. Great for first dates as well.
Took my daughter for a special night out as I was visiting her at college for the weekend. We LOVED the cheeseboard (and she’s only become a cheese lover since moving to Wisco 3 months ago) Will definitely come back and let other family members try. Great cool old yet modern atmosphere. Pasta with spicy red sauce was really good. Ceasar dressing maybe needed a little more pizazz
Food was great, as well as outdoor accommodation and a fantastic atmosphere. Pricey for a family of 5, but was a great treat.
Great food, great wine, great service. One of our Third Ward favorites.
food was fantastic as was the service, but we felt a little rushed as the next course kept coming out before we finished the course we were on. everything was reasonably priced and the server was knowledgeable and very helpful with the menu
Nice evening with homemade pasta, wine, desserts, and environment.
Aly is my favorite waitress to have, she always makes the experience fun and inviting. We were celebrating our engagement with family and friends and it was the perfect spot,
We go to Onesto’s at least 2 to 3 times a month and with our last visit the food quality was not there for any of the four of us. I hope this improves because it has been our favorite spot in downtown Milwaukee and the third Ward for a number of years now
Karla is the best! We love her!
I went with a group of six for lunch. Two meals were very good. the other four varied from non-descript to cold. The Italian sandwich had so little on it it, it was like eating two pieces of dry bread. A pasta dish was served where parts were super hot and others were cold - like it had been warmed in a microwave and not stirred around before serving. Servers disappeared for long times between appearances. My old fashioned was very good, but my wife's Hot Toddy was a joke, it was basically warmed bourbon - no water, no lemon (just a twist) and no cloves served in a huge brandy snifter.
Took my friend out for his birthday. The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. Nate did a great job, even paying for my friend’s dessert because it was his birthday!
Very good. Great service and food/drinks
Celebrated a BD here many other great items on menu as well!
