38 Best Italian Restaurants near Fox Point

“Calderone pizza is the best! I first had their pizza back in the 1960’s and it’s still the best pizza! . So glad it’s in Fox Point,“

“Have ordered their pizza- sandwiches and wings- always done to perfection. Pizza is a wonderful thin crust, baked thoroughly- never soggy- toppings are plentiful and fresh! Their Italian beef is one a person can enjoy time and again. If you love meatball sandwiches? Nice LARGE meatballs- sauce is great and the side of fries? More than enough to satisfy anyone.“

“My husband and I met a sweet couple at a wine pairing last night who told us about their favorite Italian restaurant, Zarletti and said we should make sure we went when Brian was working behind the bar. We ended up going with them that night and had not only the best Italian food we've ever tasted, but probably one of the best meals! We all sat at the bar and understood why they loved this place and Brian! Outstanding staff, atmosphere, and food! Confident this will be our new favorite place!“

“Giovanni and Sal have created a true slice of Sicily at the Safina. Every detail feels like home. Sal (one of the owners) Immediately sets a warm welcome and sets the tone right when you walk up to the host stand, the kitchens dishes burst with authentic flavor, and Marissa’s friendly, attentive service makes the night unforgettable. From crisp, golden bruschetta to silky homemade pasta and heavenly tiramisu, every bite is pure Sicilian magic you’ll want to come back for again and again. OBSESSED 6⭐️“

“My food was absolutely delicious. I went for brunch and ordered the El Mexicano Bowl. I highly recommend this place. It’s nice to see a great restaurant finally take over the old Trocadero building.“

“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.“

“Just ate here with my girlfriend's and it was very good. service was excellent and food was delicious! Adding some pics“

“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.“

“the.everything but anchovies thin crust, I have eaten it here fo'r all 48 years, Mike“

“The best chicken parm I've ever had.“

“Stopped in after State Fair closed early due to flooding. We arrived right before closing. They still fed us. Had a delicious pizza, garlic bread and lasagna. The waitress Linda was very accommodating and kind to us. Will definitely be back!“

“My best friend and I have been visiting for 8+ years, since we were 14/15 years old! The fusilli is our absolute favorite, and we never go without a cheeseboard or the flourless chocolate cake. We have always had great service and it has made every celebration worth visiting Onestos! ❤️“

“Great discovery of a great pizza place!“

“I had heard great things and had never been. Was heading to see a show at the Marcus Center last night and we opted for dinner here. Being a foodie, I had asked for recommendations in some of my foodie groups. I heard the meatball appetizer was a must have. It wasn’t on the menu for some reason, and I’m glad I asked as Frank, our awesome bartender/server who is in the family didn’t realize it wasn’t. I have zero idea how you get meatballs light, fluffy, not dense, but these were them. And the sauce! Beyond fresh, light, and delicious. Eggplant Parmesan fries were also super light and served with the same delicious sauce. And then the pasta… Capellini alla Caprese (which was Frank’s recommendation). From their menu: “Handmade angel hair pasta tossed with sweet Roma tomatoes, genuine Prosciutto di Parma ham and an Italian soffritto (olive oil, onion and garlic), finished in a light chardonnay-cream sauce and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.” This was also super clean, light, and just delectable. The bruschetta appetizer we did not order, but the people next to us did, and I asked to take a pic. It looked amazing, and the girls eating it absolutely raved. The tiramisu - not much to say other than chefs kiss! I literally want to go back and try everything on their menu. This was for sure one of my favorite new (to me) places and I will be back for sure! Also a shoutout to the other bartender Shea… she was an absolute gem. All of the staff we met were super friendly and helpful. Love places like this!“

“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. 🤌🏻🤌🏻“

“The food was wonderful. In our party of 4 we had a pizza, the super Sugo, and a pasta dish. All were outstanding. The waitstaff was kind and helpful and the atmosphere was good. The only downside was the time. The place was about half full, yet it took 2 hours to get in our order, get served, and finish. A bit long I think.“

“I came in on Tuesday for dinner with my friend to celebrate her birthday, and it was the nicest night. I love coming to Centro, but Shannon was by far the best server I have ever had. She made us feel like she was delighted that we were there. She checked in on us the perfect amount and made wonderful recommendations. Shannon, I hope you see this :) Thank you for making the night even more special.“

“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.“

“My girlfriend and I came in for dinner and a drink. The truffle fries were good, would definitely get again. The pizza was also good, some of the best in Milwaukee. The only thing that was better than the food was the service! Megan took care of us and it was the best service I have gotten in Milwaukee. I will definitely be back and will ask for Megan to be our server again!“

“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.“

“Delicious food, great selection!!“

“We celebrated my husband‘s birthday there last night and the food and atmosphere were awesome. And our server Lairs was wonderful.“

“I've been dining here for over 30 years. I recommend 🤔everything 🥰 every single time has been pure epicurean bliss.. Bon Appetite to 🫵and thanks again 🥰“

“I once owned an award-winning take & bake company on Hilton Head Island, so I am a self-admitted pizza snob. The take & bake pizza at Scardina Specialties is the only pizza I’ve found that is as good as the ones we made. Definitely give this one a try!“

“amazing lasagna and friendly atmosphere and people“

“Very romantic spot next to a candle lit fireplace. I like this Italian restaurant“

“great customer service and the food was amazing“

“Last night me and my girls was hanging out and one of my friends wanted pasta I’m not a big pasta person but let me tell you this was the best pasta ever omg and the cheese bread was amazing. Sorry no photos but it’s definitely worth it and the Lemon drops was great. The bartender even sent us over a drink because we waited for away 10 out of a 10 … I will definitely be back to this place…“

“Great pizza! Great atmosphere, great employees“

“We arrived early and they were able to accommodate my champagne request in the bar. Then they moved us to the dining room to finish and enjoy our meal. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of our waiter, but she was lovely and knowledgeable. The food was excellent. I highly recommend.“

“This is a real gem. The food is phenomenal and undeniably fresh, the service is wonderful with the perfect mix of personable interaction without crossing the line into overbearing observation while you eat. The servers know what they’re talking about and the food speaks for itself - all at a reasonable price. Cannot sing its praises loud enough. 10/10 but wish the scale went higher than 10“

“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 hot and delicious flavorful I love it“

“We went there on Valentine's Day at 4pm for their tasting menu and both of us were blown away. Great service. Great views. Great Vibes. and beyond great food. The "friend, lover" cocktail was THE best cocktail I've ever tasted. Every course in the tasting menu was excellent but the Beef Tenderloin was BLISS. I don't think it's possible to cook it more perfectly than they did. Really amazing. The desserts are really impressive too. Which says a lot because I'm generally not much of a dessert person.“

“They food is really great and the fast delivery service. I send a way to go to the diver Jeremy friendly service thanks“

“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.“
