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.

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.

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!
