    One of the best dining experiences in Milwaukee, and a delightful meal started with a great visit with bartender Scott. Food is always great and service is impeccable.

    Great variety of food offered from this region of Italy. The primi secondo & dulce selections were note worthy. Our server was fabulous. Bartolottas once again made us feel special.

    We love Bartolotta's fixed-price menu (food only) and celebrated a birthday there. There are always interesting, changing selections that highlight regional Italian cooking. The featured wines by the glass complemented the four-course meal. The service was impeccable as always, and the kitchen and wait staff were extremely attentive to my food allergy. We had a hearty vegetable soup, a pasta with veal ragu, lamb skewers and lovely desserts--all delicious. It's a special place for a special event (date night, anniversary, birthday, special occasion) and we keep it on our list of favorites.

    We are delighted to hear your special celebration was memorable. Your praise for our regional Italian menu, wine pairings, and attentive service is appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

    Overall it was a very nice dinner. Excellent service, ambiance and location. I much preferred the menu pre-covid. The four course menu can be a tad too much.

    We were celebrating our anniversary. The staff was warm and kind. We had really lovely cocktails and wine that paired well with our dishes. We love the rotating menu showcasing different regions of Italy. The food was amazing esp the lamb and fresh pasta dishes. Definitely my favorite of all the Bartolotta restaurants.
