I have always loved eating here. I was very pleasantly surprised when we dined in and noticed the updated dining room. Beautiful, rich burgundy and gray tones. Not sure if I'm sad that the Rat Pack mural is gone? I'll get over it. Baked Ziti is my go-to. Yum.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options

We were pretty disappointed after reading reviews. Restaurant was nice, well-maintained, fun decor to match the theme, polite host and the server was good.But the food…oh the food. The garlic cheese bread was soggy with way too much cheese, the Alfredo sauce tasted equal or worse than the $1-2 jars at your local grocery store with almost no flavor, and the red sauce was average at best.Not what I would expect from this level of restaurant. Would not return.

We arrived 20 minutes earlier than our reservation, and they were able to seat us right. Our waitress was very attentive and the food was delicious. We had the BBQ Ribs and prime rib along with a combo appetizer. Everything was delicious.Sorry no pictures.

I am a veteran with a service dog. I came with my family for dinner and immediately when I walk in the door the manager and another person from the stuff started causing a problem with my service dog. They broke the law pertaining to service animal according to the ADA. While stating they are breaking the law and discriminating against me I was told they can refuse service to put and I was asked to leave with my dog! My dog did not show any aggression that would warrant this behavior but did as a service dog does and stands by my legs. This place does not like combat veterans or service animals that service people with disabilities which is absolutely wrong and I will never eat there again nor will I ever recommend this place to anyone!!!

The ambience, and wait service was good. Unfortunately, my lasagna and chicken parmigiana plate was poorly presented by a large amount of sauce that made it look sloppy and hard to determine what each part of the dish was at first. "You eat with the eyes first." as they say. Taste was okay!

I try to stop in whenever I can as this had been Milwaukee's best Italian for a long time, in my opinion. My daughter and we're out and about and she asked for spaghetti. She got the kids menu spaghetti and still got access to salad she breadsticks. Everything was great, as usual.
great place for Italian food . The food is good, atmosphere is ok, service is usually good and drink selection is good, casual business is the dress here, you could get away with smart casual or above, true casual is probably not the best idea. keep it classy.still a solid 4, working to a 5

Decided to try this place out after going to a movie with some friends, there were four of us in total.We were seated quickly. The server was friendly and attentive. Salad and breadsticks were delivered before the meal. the salad very good, and tossed in an Italian dressing. The breadsticks were similar to olive gardens, but they were not heated thoroughly.For dinner I ordered spaghetti with meat sauce. It was a huge portion, but not good... I expected a flavorful seasoned tomato sauce that was summered with ground beef, ground sausage, or a mixture of them together.... What I got was a large portion of plain spaghetti pasta topped with a small amount of a rather unflavorful tomato sauce, with what appears to be 2 small breakfast sauaages cut into small cubes and stirred in. The flavor was not good, and the pasta to sauce ratio was very off.The others in the group did enjoy the fish fry they ordered. I also did not bring up my dislike of my entree to my server, I'm sure he would have tried to rectify the situation somehow, but I didn't want to cause a problem. I did share a bite with others at the table when they noticed I wasn't eating it, and they agreed it was subpar.Advice for to the restaurant: switch a more traditional meat sauce... What I had seemed to literally be a few small sausage cubes in an under-seasoned marinara sauce... Maybe also toss the pasta in the sauce instead.It's possible it I was just there on an off night. As I said, the service was good, and others had dishes they enjoyed. The salad was delicious.

It's been 20 or so years since we ate here. Now i know why. Very good service but only so so Italian. For example, my wife's entre had very dry chicken in it. There are a lot better Italian restaurants, even Olive Garden.
