“After 29 years of living near Madison, we finally went for dinner last night. Everything was delicious- mocktail, bruschetta, both pasta dishes (mushroom truffle & sausage rigatoni), as well as the light, fluffy desserts (butterscotch pudding & cheesecake with rhubarb/strawberry compote). Super happy our waiter, James, sent us home with an extra baguette & recommended making French toast - which we did today! We’ll be back with friends and recommending to others!“

“Me and my family stopped by a day ago. The customer service was amazing. If I remember correctly, our server’s name was Trinity. He was very kind to my grandma . Also, the food was delicious, our server recommended I try the strawberry burrata which was amazing. I would stop by again. Five stars.“

“We have been to Nonno's at least 4 times in the past few years! This restaurant is the absolute best Italian food our family has ever had. The service is top notch! Our son Sean loves going here and always orders the Chicken Alfredo with lots and lots of cheese. I always order Spaghetti Bolognese which never disappoints!! Thank you to our waiter and the staff for your wonderful hospitality and service.“

“My granddaughter and I was touring downtown Madison about two weeks ago, we came across D’Vino as we walked. The special for the day was crab cake and green fried tomatoes, of course we went in to order. The food was amazing. My granddaughter love the atmosphere of the restaurant and so did I .She order a pizza that was the best she ever had. The food was so good, even the water was great. We will be back!“

“Always a great stop for some solid Italian food right on main! And Spencer is known as the Mayor of Verona for good reason! Great bartender and guy who takes care of everyone.“

“What a wonderful way to spend a whimsical Wednesday. Howdy, Midwest America 🇺🇸 what a great day to play some golf on this beautiful course.
After you’ve completed your game- even if you get a birdie- stop in here for a cold brew; or perhaps some buffalo chicken salad. It’s giving nourishment of the finest vintage. Verdant. Just in case you were worried about flavor.
Would recommend.
It’s just par for the course.“

“I had a great experience at Olive Garden today, thanks to Natalia. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout my visit.

What stood out the most was her kindness. Since I was about to hit the road and my phone battery was low, she even lent me a phone charger, which was a huge help and something I really appreciated.

Excellent service, a welcoming attitude, and genuine care for customers. Natalia went above and beyond, and she made my visit memorable. Thank you!“

“Food was amazing and service was excellent!! Fresh and authentic homemade food.“

“We had heard some mixed reviews but dinner last night was perfect! The food was all done exceptionally well and service was fantastic. First time and had a great time. Looking forward to coming back and trying some new things! Salmon and broccolini tasted perfect and my dining partner enjoyed their steak and mashed potatoes. Thank you for the wonderful meal and the servers for being so lovely.“

“I’m so thankful I discovered Zoe’s! It’s like having Ian’s pizza but with way better crust. 🤣❤️ I get my nails done in Waunakee and my nail girl told me about this place. Bet I come here every time I get my nails done! Today I had their special - chorizo - and when I say it was BOMB I mean it!!! This pizza is so dang good, and every flavor I try has been consistently delicious. 🍕 😍 lunch prices are amazing too! I highly recommend giving this place a try even just for a slice.“

“We came in on a Monday night in the summer. We have been coming here a lot recently. We love the food! Pizza is great, salads and meatballs too! Our table tonight was two young kids and two adults. Most people wouldn't want our table. Servers don't like kids. I assume that means low bill and low tip. However, my husband and I have worked in the restaurant business for a long time! We know how to tip and never order off the kids menu. We were told our server Lydia would be with us shortly. However she never came by. I had to ask for service after we came in to eat and we're very hungry. It was my daughter's birthday and they just got done with Ju Jitsu practice. My daughter told me she was starving. I know! She never came to the table. We were ignored for a while and told to order at the counter. There were open tables and not too many people in the restaurant. Thank you to the shift manager who finally helped us. We also asked Lydia to help with our check at the end and she told us she couldn't help us. She was so rude! Thanks Lydia. If you go on a weekday you might not even get service unless you ask. We'll be back to eat the food and hope we don't ever get Lydia. She was only serving two tables and both were finished before we got our food. She was not that busy but decided she didn't want to serve us.“

“My kiddo and I often stop here after visiting the kid cafe next door - the pizza is a yummy, nostalgic treat, and I always enjoy chatting with the older gentleman at the cash register, he has a wonderful sense of humor. Bonus points for playing Cream, Jimmy Hendrix, and other great vintage tunes!“

“The service was the best. Araceli was amazing server , help us with everything we need , the best GF menu I had so far .. I recommend this place very clean classy ..
