50 Best Italian Restaurants near Brookfield

“The parking lot was full but we got a table right away.
Nate was our server and he was awesome!
Nate was attentive but not over bearing, he made sure we had what we needed and then some.
Every Olive Garden needs a Nate, Greatest server we've ever had!!!!“

“Vino Cappuccino proved once again why we love coming here, and it's surprisingly kid-friendly. We dropped in for a to-go order, and while my 8-year-old son and I waited at the bar, we caught the Panama vs. Croatia World Cup game.

The service was even faster than usual, but the highlight was definitely the bartender. He was incredibly friendly and made me a delicious cucumber and fresh mint mocktail, plus a kiddie cocktail for my son—and then generously comped them both!

The only real downside here is the parking, but honestly, that’s just the price you pay for a fantastic restaurant that's always busy. Excellent food and top-tier service overall. We’ll definitely keep coming back!“

“One of the best pizzas and garlic bread I’ve had. Excellent“

“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“

“Best Pizza I've Had Outside NYC

As a native New Yorker, I don't say this lightly — this pizza absolutely rocked and delivered on every level

Im originally from the area and was visiting family and wanted to treat everyone to pizza, and this place exceeded expectations. The crust had that perfect balance of crispy and chewy, the sauce was well-balanced, and the cheese-to-topping ratio was spot on.

Special shout out to EILEEN, who handled our delivery. It was dinner rush hour, always a chaotic time for any pizza place, and I had a specific time window I needed the pizza to arrive for our gathering. She took the time to make sure it showed up exactly when I needed it, hot and fresh, despite what I'm sure was a packed delivery schedule. That kind of care and attention during the busiest part of the night doesn't go unnoticed — it's the difference between a good experience and a great one.

Between the quality of the pizza and the outstanding service, this is now my go-to when Im back in town and highly recommend it for anyone in the area.“

“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.“

“Cannot say enough about the food, the staff and the ambiance. Whether it is pregame, post-game, special night out, day drinking and dining or late night cocktails and dinner after a late flight this place never, ever disappoints. Its been that way for years and hope it never changes.“

“Staff was very attentive. Food was fantastic. My only complaint is the price, but you certainly get plenty of food for what you pay.“

“I went last Sunday with my sister to eat their famous food and I got an amazing server along with it! Jaime the server was extremely helpful & welcoming! She didn’t give off “what do you want” vibes instead she gave off more of “here’s what I recommend” and I love that! Totally recommend coming to Mia’s! Welcoming staff, good food & amazing vibes! If you come back I totally recommend Jaime, she’s amazing.“

The wine was divine. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cheesy garlic bread 👍Salad was fresh and tasty. Generous portion. Steak speidini with angel hair pasta was perfect. TIRAMISU was one of the best I can remember. GRAZIE 🇮🇹“

“I love the pizza but it seems like the sauce was different. did they change the sauce?“

“This is our favorite Fish Fry in the area! (And we've tried a lot of fish fry's :) The Pizza is also really good! We love their thin, crispy, crust! The wait staff has always been friendly and hard working. It's hard to beat Pepino's.“

“Had a lovely dinner. Service and food were excellent and the 3 for $35 is a great value. We enjoyed our evening“

“Excellent meal! So happy we tried this cute place! Highly recommend!“

“Great discovery of a great pizza place!“

“Worked at Armelis many many years ago. Had a craving for it tonight and it’s exactly how I remember it from 15+ years ago! My husband had it for the first time and said “WHY HAVENT WE ORDERED FROM HERE BEFORE?!” So we will definitely be ordering again!“

“Absolutely fantastic. I ordered on a whim , en route home from work. I never heard of the place before , but it slapped harder than nonna with a hot spoon. The food was ready before the pick up time. And it was phenomenal. Would smash again. Definitely. 🤌🏻🤌🏻“

“Amazing staff and food!!!“

“Classic Italian done right!“

“my children took y wife Lori and me for our 40th anniversary, The food was excellent. WE THOROJGHLY ENJOYED OURSELVES AND THE FOOD AND SERVICE WERE EXCELLENT. THANKS MIAS!!!“

“The food was really good, Maria was a great server even while it was busy. The only issue was we ordered dessert and when I took a bite I had to pull a piece of parchment paper (I hope it’s parchment paper) out of my mouth because it was in my black tie mousse cake.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Olive Garden and had a wonderful experience. The food was great, and everything was enjoyable, but the highlight of my visit was the kindness of the staff. As I was leaving on crutches, the GM Jason came across the room to open the door for me without hesitation. That small act of kindness meant a lot and showed such genuine care and excellent customer service. It really made my visit memorable. Thank you for going above and beyond!“

“Best around baked mostacolli“

“January 16, 2026. Just had a wonderful experience at Balistreri’s. There were 4 of us having the BEST PIZZA EVER! This is our go to pizza joint…all the way from North Carolina🤣🤣 (a joke). But my review is mainly regarding our awesome waiter, Ricardo! He was so pleasant and fun and played along with our joke! He showed that he truly enjoyed his job….what a joy!“

“This is hands down my favorite pizza place! The pizza is always amazing--perfect crust and great flavor. The garlic bread is just as incredible!

You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, which makes such a difference. And now that they accept credit cards, it's even more convenient to stop in and grab our favorites.

Highly recommend--this place never disappoints!“

“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!!!“

“Great food. Wonderful Friday night fish fry. Very friendly and efficient man at the host desk. True vintage atmosphere. Servers all run around and are all very unorganized. Our server only had one pen on her. I'm sorry but that's part of the uniform that is extremely unprofessional no matter how old you are. They are all older experienced servers so there was no exception for this. She hovered over our table waiting for us to sign and return her Pen. They do not do separate checks.. The bus boy was absolutely amazing. Everything was fabulous but the servers need to step it up.“

“Great restaurant with reasonable prices! Great place to feed a family on a budget. The service and food are always good. They definitely go out of their way to take care of every customer. They easily seat larger families. Tables are always very clean and food comes out effectively.“

“I absolutely love Ann’s! Pizza, fettuccine, lasagna are all delicious. Last night I had Ann’s penne with chicken and it’s my new favorite! Our waiter, Logan, was amazing also! Definitely a must check out!“

“great customer service and the food was amazing“

“Juan our server did a great job. Excellent service and the food was delicious“

“This is our favorite pizza in Milwaukee. The crust is great and they don't skimp on toppings. Lots of cheese too!“

“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!“

“Hands down the best pizza 🍕 I just love that packer pizza“

“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..“

“Nice little spot with good service and great food!“

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

“Even though the Pewaukee location is closer to my house, I order from the Menomonee Falls restaurant because the food and service I much much beter.“

“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.“

“We ordered pizza today for delivery. It was fabulous. Definitely will order again.“

“This is now the 2nd time I have gotten a Pizza from Marco’s. In my opinion, because competition is so abundant. The people make the difference, not the food.
The employee (male with a wrist brace) shared with me his love for making great tasting pizza.

THATS the difference maker!

I like ordering food from a restaurant the employees ACTUALLY enjoy & like working at.“

“Last opening day today. Sad to see it close.“

“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.“

“When it comes to mall food courts and there's a pizza venue, it's usually Villa or Sbarro which are practically identical. Both are 2 of the most common in major shopping centers and nearly taste the same.

If you arrive at the mall with an empty stomach or have just been scaling the entire mall in & out of various stores and suddenly realize you're craving food, the foodcourt has a few options and Villa is available at this one.

Just like any location out there, there's gonna be mixed reviews typically over the quality of food and the service. Unless you're observing what's behind the counter and glass, the general dining area itself would be included with the atmosphere.

So when it comes to getting some good-tasting food that still may not be worth the high prices for many, it's basically a matter of timing when buying a pizza slice or stromboli when they first come out.

When anything has been sitting for a while and gets reheated for a minute or 2 in the oven, not gonna be as tasty compared to when it first came out. If you're lucky and do get a fresh slice or 2 with an empty stomach, sometimes that's the greatest pizza ever.

Customer service is usually about the same wherever you go. Especially when it's a Saturday or holiday sale weekend, you're always gonna see that employee standing to attention waiting to make that sale, otherwise the service has never been that bad for me.

With the climbing prices every year since the COVID crisis came and went, the unnecessary inflation and minimum wage hike; definitely one of many businesses with high-priced grub for the taste but then again I can only imagine what the rent costs for being in a busy mall.“

“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. 😊“

“I went in person to order my pizza because i was near by. Pizza only took like 15min to be ready. But their entrance, floor and carpet and ordering area is dirty. Filled with grease and flour. Young boys at the front are very nice and polite.“

“Very nice restaurant. Staff was friendly. They have a nice variety of seating and the tables do move in the booth, which is cool. Prices are a little high, but typical movie theater food prices. Food was absolutely delicious. They make a fantastic thin crust pizza. The chairs are by far the most uncomfortable seats I’ve ever sat in at a restaurant. While these older style chairs might try to give an authentic pizza parlor style, they are absolutely the worst seats to sit on for any length of time.“
