    Really enjoyable evening out on the lovely terrace! Excellent service all around, but especially from Jackie, the wine director. Food was great as always. It's fun to focus on the different regions of Italy 🇮🇹

    We had a great meal at Ristorante Bartolotta. The restaurant iserves a four course authentic menu of regional Italian specialties this month is Puglia. The menu was creative and varied with wonderful selections. I had a pasta with squash blossom pesto and giant pink shrimp in a light tomato sauce. Desserts were made on premise and delicious. Our server was warm and informative and helped explain the menu and assist with wine selection. A wonderful place for a special meal.

    We think this is the best Italian dining in Milwaukee. Not your traditional Italian Restaurant but a fine dining experience. The prix fixe menu changes periodically and allows you a choice of offerings in each of the 4 courses. Just the right amount of food so you don’t leave uncomfortably full. I’m pretty sure you need reservations, at least on weekends - we always get them and the restaurant fills up quickly and with good reason. Our favorite restaurant in Wauwatosa.
