9 Best Italian Restaurants near Oconomowoc

“We had an amazing first time experience, and already can’t wait to go back! Everything was perfect. Our server Olivia was wonderful, and everything we ate was beyond delicious. We started out with the truffle burrata bruschetta, and for entrees I had the pasta wheel special and added the ground sausage, and my husband had the salmon special topped with crab. We couldn’t decide on a dessert, so we got 2. The tiramisu and citrus cheesecake were both incredible! Some of the chefs waved to us on the way out, and I can tell the staff truly care about serving their customers with excellence. Highly, highly recommend Lago Su Bella! I promise you won’t be disappointed! ❤️😋👌🏼“

“Would give more stars if possible. Bella Gusto is our favorite place in the area!! The Pinzsas are our favorite thing here, the desserts are perfection from the cookies to the gluten free chocolate cheesecake. Always great wine options! They are truly a small town restaurant that never disappoints. We had an online order misplaced once and the owner went above and beyond to make it right and take care of us, and still got it out only 5 minutes later. Definitely recommend!“

“Always great variety of flavors. Love coming here for a treat“

“My family LOVES going to Zin! We go almost once a week! The staff and owner are so friendly and welcoming. The service is fantastic and so is the food! I haven’t had a single thing on the menu that I didn’t like. And their drink menu has great options too.“

“Oh my! We just happened upon this place while out for a drive, an early anniversary dinner, trying to get away from work and from computer screens. We were greeted pleasantly, and seated immediately, even though we didn't have a reservation. The ambiance was perfect; good music, not too loud, the place beautifully decorated for autumn, flickering candles on the tables and comfortable chairs. Our server was friendly, knowledgable and experienced. Every bite of the food was fantastic, from the warm bread and herbed dipping oil, to the mozzarella appetizer, and the salads, which came with the entree. They actually give you enough dressing! We ordered two dishes, angel hair pasta in garlic butter sauce, with Italian sausage and mushrooms, and cheese stuffed tortellini with meatballs and marinara sauce. The portions were huge and we couldn't eat much of them because the appetizer and salads were filling, but we had the leftovers boxed, along with a brownie and a piece of chocolate peanut butter cheesecake to take with. I am happy to report that like a lot of Italian food, it was even better the next day - with yet another meal to come! Plus both desserts were fantastic. The bill was around $100.00 for the two of us. Can't wait to come back!!“

“The Bolognese was delicious!!! Everything was delicious!! Service from Louis was absolutely perfect! Dessert was delicious! We didn’t have even 1 small complaint about anything ! And…. We talked about how great everything was all the way home! You know you had a great experience when that happens. Highly recommend!!“

“We've been to this particular restaurant twice recently and had different experiences. The first time, the server seemed quite absent minded and we had to keep reminding her about things. She brought our main dish before the salad and breadsticks.
The second time we had a wonderful server called Dario, who was so attentive and friendly. However, the kids pizza came out burnt. He and the manager dealt with the issue though.
I like the modern feel to the restaurant, no longer feels like an elderly home. Food is ok, lasagne is definitely the dish to stick to.“

“The pizza is amazing! Thank you for a great dinner experience.“

“ordered a pizza to go Friday night. While they stated they were short staffed. I received a salad drenched in dressing verses the dressing in a separate cup which then leaked all over the place along with a mediocre pizza with maybe 5 pieces of sausage. $40 for terrible take out. Do better... I would have rather waited longer for a pizza and salad done correctly.“
