Nōnna Bartolotta's & Nōnna's To-Go

We were seated and reviewed the menu. We have a gluten allergy. Only thing on the menu we could have was a salad. We left without ordering anything. We were disappointed since the website showed entrees that would have worked. Unfortunately these entrees are no longer offered. Our server was nice and we liked the venue. Only wish they had a better selection.

I really enjoyed the bartenders they were a lot of fun. The food not so much. I think because its an airport the owners don't think people care.

Was served raw chicken tenders here. I ordered this thinking it was one of the safer options on the menu since they usually come pre-cooked. Not sure how this happened. The staff were nice and refunded the meal but just beware if you do eat here. Order a veggie dish or check that the meat is fully cooked..

To serve a whole greasy pizza in a bag without a box to go, with no where in the airport to sit at a table, is insane. Please get pizza boxes.

Bartenders scooping ice with my water glass is quite concerning.

This was a bright spot in our disastrous day of travel. All the food we got was delicious. The drinks were well made. Amanda was wonderful, great service. Would definitely recommend!

Had the pizza and a Caesar Salad service was great not much chicken on salad and pizza crust could have been crispier otherwise for airport food it was good

Nōnna Bartolotta’s – Milwaukee Airport, Concourse D
July 2025

– A comforting Italian layover with just enough charm to make you forget you’re in an airport.

After a flight and before a bus ride to Chicago, I needed something hearty and hassle-free. Nōnna Bartolotta’s delivered just that—quick seating, clean surroundings, and a dish that held me over without weighing me down.

Chicken & Pesto Farfalle – $26
🌟 3.5/5
A generous bowl of pasta with plenty of cheese and a pesto that leaned creamy and satisfying. It wasn’t the most seasoned dish I’ve had, but it was filling and warm.

Ambiance – 5/5
For an airport restaurant, this place had options: bar seating, hallway tables, and a peek into the open kitchen (which I always love). It was busy, but not chaotic, and everything felt clean and well-managed.

Service – 4/5
I was seated immediately and my check came right on time. The server wasn’t chatty or overly informative, but they kept things moving—and that’s exactly what I needed in transit.

If you’re passing through Milwaukee and need a quick Italian fix before hitting the road, Nōnna Bartolotta’s is a reliable stop. No frills, no fuss—just a plate of pasta, pizza, etc before the next leg of the journey. 🧳🍝

Seriously dont do it, grab a sandwich at the bagel place instead. I was hungry and tricked by this fact. Bland pasta, bland chicken, bad pesto, old tomatoes. Really a sad affair. Definitely not worth it the $38 I paid for a soda and pasta plate.

Not a fun place to stop while at MKE airport. Service is terrible if you're at a table and mediocre if at the bar. Food is okay but nothing you're missing if you don't eat here.

Worst customer service

I came here at noon on a Sunday. I got sat immediately. Food took a while to come out. My pesto pasta with chicken tasted great though. Given that it’s in the airport it was expensive. The sandwiches are more fairly priced.

The restaurant was half full, yet I had to wait almost 5 minutes for anyone to seat me. As I was waiting on my food, I could see one of the cooks eating food in the kitchen while holding his phone. I ordered a meatball panini. A panini is a sandwich if I am not mistaken. What was served was three giant meatballs served on top of what looked like a hot dog bun. So I had to fork the meatballs instead of eating a sandwich.

The server was far too busy chatting with employees to check on my food. When she brought the bill, she dropped off the handheld payment system and left. While I was leaving she was chatting and joking with another staff member. I couldn’t imagine how this place operates when it’s busy. Check this restaurant off my list of places to not get a bite.

Plastic bag tie was found baked into our pepperoni Pizza. Server didn't even apologize for it, seemed annoyed we even pointed it out. Manager took it off the bill.

I tried to eat lunch here, and the key word is tried. I stood in front of the wait to be seated sign for 15 minutes and made direct eye contact with 3 servers........and no one came to seat me or the couple waiting behind me. The place was only half full. I'll just assume they hit their sales quota for the day and didn't need any more business. Seriously, if you need to eat at the MKE airport, you are better off eating before going through security at the D Concourse because this place is the best option, but only if they want your business!
