    We were not expecting a 4 course meal, but that falls on us because we didn’t look ahead. Amazing staff and ambiance, but the food was underwhelming. The food looked gorgeous, but was doused in butter to the point where our stomachs were seriously cramping up before we got to dessert. We only had beer and wine, and they had a great selection of Italian beers and wines! Very fun! Fun atmosphere, just the food was a little bit of a letdown for the charge.

    Honestly, we first learned about Ristorante Bartolotta dal 1993 from their appearance during "Top Chef: Wisconsin", so our expectations were already rather high for this, our first dinner experience there. Even so, every aspect of our evening exceeded those expectations! Thank you for such a delicious meal, from beginning to end, and for such warm and gracious service!

    Everything was presented well. The waitstaff was very nice. One one the ladies was polite. She talked just a little too much. The food was very good. The price of drinks could be little lower.

    Another outstanding meal from the Bartolotta's. Only wish the main dish portions were a bit bigger.
