Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Wisconsin

We were celebrating our anniversary and a birthday. There was a card on our table wishing us a happy anniversary. Our waitress, Kate, was friendly. helpful and knowledgeable. We started with fried calamari, which was prepared perfectly. My husband had the 4-oz filet mignon and I had the starter-size Nantucket scallops and a salad. Everything was beautifully prepared and presented. The view of the lake and the museum completed a perfect celebration event.

We had an excellent experience. Our server was delightful and did a great job of answering all of our questions and steering us towards wonderful selections. Our choices were delectable and delicious. Our drink and dessert choices were great compliments to our entree selections.

Celebrating yet another anniversary in one of the finest restaurants Milwaukee has to offer! This place is the crown Jewel of the Bartolatta family of restaurants. From the staff to the food, simply the best!!!!!

Other than the coffee cup with the chip, this experience greatly exceeded expectations. The Benedict in particular was out of this world

We discovered that we’ve been coming here for 10 yrs, that tells y’all something there! Zarletti’s is a small but exquisitely decorated downtown Italian restaurant. The meals, appetizers, wines etc are almost all from Italy. The service is great, the wait staff know their foods, drinks and wines. We found them this time, as usual, to be friendly, available but non-intrusive & very nice. Our meals were wonderfully prepared and awesomely delicious!! The red wine we opted for was perfect for our meals. Oh, their take on an old-fashioned was fun and delicious. We’re allowed to relax, take our time to enjoy drinks and food, never any sense of hurry. We love coming here and would strongly recommend Zarletti’s.
