50 Best Italian Restaurants near Brookfield

“Always have amazing food and great service! If you go in ask for Adam. He is hands down the best waiter!!!!“

“We called ahead to inquire about seating for a party of eight—four adults and four children. The staff was professional and courteous over the phone, clearly explaining the seating process. Upon arrival, we waited approximately 10 minutes before being seated.

Our server, Landen, was exceptional. He was patient, personable, and made us feel genuinely welcomed—not just as customers, but as guests. He engaged us in friendly conversation, offered helpful insights on menu options, and went above and beyond to ensure our experience was enjoyable.

What stood out most was his kindness and attentiveness, particularly toward our daughter with special needs. His thoughtful approach did not go unnoticed and meant a great deal to our family.

I highly recommend this Olive Garden location, not only for the quality of the food but especially for the outstanding service we received from Landen. He truly made our visit memorable.“

“Had a great dinner with friends. I’ve visited this restaurant multiple times and anything I’ve ordered from the menu from appetizers to drinks has exceeded my expectations. The red pepper soup is a must try! Service was a little slow, but we were there to enjoy our time and company so I was glad for it. They were very busy and the staff were fantastic. If you are looking for an enjoyable evening with fantastic food give this place a try!“

“Service is amazing, pizza outstanding and I have been searching for a place that actually knows how to make not a decent meatball but an AWESOME meatball ♥️♥️♥️“

“my husband and I went there tonight for his birthday. the food was really good but I want to brag about Robert our server. He is the best server I have experienced in a long time. we never once had to flag him down to refill our soda. If we blinked we would miss him putting a fresh basket of bread out for us. Our empty plates never sat on our table for long before Robert walked by and swooped them up. kudos to Bravo! for hiring Robert. I would definitely come back if I was guaranteed him as my server. Robert thanks you so much for the excellent service you provided, and I hope we left you a great tip, you truly deserve it“

“Ordered catering dishes and pizzas. I worked with the owner to order and everything was so phenomenal. The penne pasta delicious. Breadsticks are outstanding. Baked chicken was some of the best. Perfectly seasoned. And of course pizzas are always awesome. My gusts couldn’t stop telling me how good everything was.
Thank you!!“

“Fried zucchini and steaks are very good so is the spaghetti very friendly people“

“Our third time and the anniversary couple's first time (55 years!) and we were all thoroughly impressed! The food is so authentic - better than any dish we had when we visited Italy! Made with love and fresh ingredients, served by staff who care, and presentation and waitstaff well worth the price. This is not inexpensive, but for any meal with ambiance, and never disappointing, I recommend it highly. Five star everything. We cannot say enough. Thank you for contributing a wonderful Italian option in Tosa area.“

“Nadi plates is incredible!! Nadia, Zachary and their team did a fantastic job with our wedding at Mercantile Hall. We had 116 guests and everything was cooked perfectly! Our guests were raving about how good the food was. We had filets and steak for our entree. They are a family run business and are so passionate about what they do. We could not have picked a more perfect caterer to do our wedding. I highly recommend them!! Thank you so much for everything!!

“I was in tonight and had a server named Autumn and she was incredible, made sure all of my needs were taken care of before I had to ask, was attentive, and helped me choose what to eat as I was torn between entrees but she was a gem and Olive Garden is lucky to have her. I hope she will be commended for her stellar service!“

“This is such a cute hole in the wall!! The workers here are all awesome and nice. We got the whole place to ourselves and the kids enjoyed every second. This is all of these picky eaters new favorite pizza…… that says all ya need to know! THANK YOU GROTTOOO!!!“

“My family and I have been enjoying leah’s for decades. I love the garlic bread. It’s thick and dense bread loaded with butter! The pizza is great too. I was there on sunday august 4th and our server was attentive and pleasant. I’m shocked about all the bad reviews because I have never had a bad experience there. I can’t think of pizza in the suburbs that I like more than this.“

“Food was phenomenal!! The atmosphere is lacking. A day of touching up paint, stain, chair nicks and deep cleaning would go a long way for minimal cost and effort. You would have thought it would have been done during the COVID-19 shutdown.“

“Alioto’s was my Dad’s favorite restaurant when I grew up and we went there often, certainly most Fridays. It was always excellent. When my Dad died, we had his funeral lunch there and it was well organized and great. We continue to go back often. We just went with my extended family (30 people) for a fish fry on Good Friday. They treated us with excellence, great service, awesome fish fry, tartar sauce and Cole slaw were excellent. Great Italian bread. And outstanding Old Fashioneds. Is it a 5 star restaurant? Of course not. It is what it is. An icon for simple dining and wonderful fish fries in Milwaukee. I have been enjoying this restaurant for over 40 years. Many fish fries, events and funeral lunches. Simply a well run place that has special meaning to me and my family.“

“We were in Wauwatosa to avoid the craziness of Milwaukee and stopped by this little bar - Club Tap. Our neighbors at the bar counter ordered the CHEESIEST pizza that I’ve ever seen in my entire life (I’ve seen a lot of pizza) from you guys and we HAD to go next door and get some of our own. The small town vibes of this pizza place are wonderful. It’s so cute, authentic, DELICIOUS, and worth every penny. Thank you Lalli’s for your service. I don’t know who Lalli is but I’m sure he/she is/was great.“

“We got our 1st pizza from Cataro’s Pizza last night at 11:15pm after seeing the band Without Annette at Da Bar nearby. We were hungry so we searched pizza open late near me. That’s how we found this amazing pizza. The owner had closed the dining room early because business has been so slow but he offered to make us one to go. It was so good! I highly recommend this place. We’ll definitely be back!“

“We have never had a disappointment at ZA. Everything we have tried is delicious. Today we enjoyed a brussel sprouts appetizer topped with hot honey glaze and goat cheese, beet salad, lemony chicken picatta and tiramisu. Delizioso!

Dietary restrictions: ZA offers gluten free pasta.“

“Most awesome pizza ever they have the best Italian sausage on the pizza. The cheesy bread is also great. Their wings are good. Their pepperoni pizza is awesome. Customer service and staff are really really nice. No complaints at all if you have trouble getting through there a small place for pick up and delivery in carry out so just keep trying they’re worth every second..“

“Excellent products, excellent service and great atmosphere!!!“

“Fantastic pizza - always - hot, delicious, done the way you like it - near the 'hood' and on-time - small place - but thin crust is on FIRE!!!!!! Awesome - recommended highly by those that tried it - many times.“

“Always great service and pizza!! Dough nuggets I had last time were amazing too! We tried the pasta tonight and it was delicious but a little disappointed with only half an Italian sausage link being an order size for $2. The noodle to meat ratio is definitely off so make sure you order double meat if ordering create your own pasta. Very tasty though!! My boyfriend had the lasagna and said he would definitely order again. Hands down best pizza in the area that we’ve found. 😊“

“Chris the bartender is awesome and food was great!“

“A friend and I ate here a couple afternoons ago and wow was it to die for. Ever since new management took this place it has been spot on. One of the best Stromboli’s I have ever tried. The staff was also super friendly. I would for sure recommend this place to anyone.“

“Chicago Native, so believe me when I say these guys are the best. I moved up to the Waukesha area in Summer 2022. I was craving a Large Sausage pizza late close to their closing time, ended up going with a Supreme type pizza. They were quick, and even stayed slightly past closing so I could pick up my order. Tipped generously simply for that courtesy and professionalism. Will be my STAPLE pizza place in the area from now on. A Go-To spot.“

“Usually order for delivery, but finally came to see the inside. It is so cute! I love this place and their pizza!“
