Le Reve Pâtisserie & Café 7610 Harwood Ave, Wauwatosa French • $$
7610 Harwood Ave, Wauwatosa

“There are seldom few pleasures as a place that makes you feel like all is right with the world, where all your troubles melt away, where you are at ease and comfortable, whilst also filled with a great love for life that inspires you. Le Reve is that place.I’ve missed coming here since I moved to a different city, and yet, every time I come here, no matter the weather, or how busy and crowded, no matter the traffic or the mess, I always find myself so happy to be here, I could cry. It’s not JUST that they have the best Saumon Benedict, or croissants, or crepes; not just that the staff are always professionally welcoming at their worst, and delightfully engaging hosts at their best; not just that the pastry case is varied and exciting (though that IS a part of it)But there’s a certain je ne sais quoi that makes Le Reve perfect. Even if you don’t like French cuisine, I guarantee you’ll be happy here.”

Ristorante Bartolotta dal 1993 7616 W State St, Wauwatosa Italian • $$$
7616 W State St, Wauwatosa

“Last night we went out for my birthday to Ristorante Bartotta, it was my first time there and we had no idea what to expect. The menu as we learned was a tour of Trento Italy, and you picked 4 courses for only $75. We really enjoyed tasting all the different dishes and stepping out of our comfort zone. I really enjoyed the tortel di patate one of the best potato pancakes i ever had, would love to buy and take home 2 dozen.. my wife was tortured by the “strangolapreti” as it was so good but yet so filling… and best of all her 14 year old daughter stepped out of her normal foods and really likes the polpette, the traditional homemade ravioli dish and mixed grill…. I also want to complement all of the service. We have been to many restaurants late on a sunday night, last table, and they act like they just want us to leave… last night we felt we could have stayed for hours just chatting with the staff. My only suggestion would be to move that table further from corner and a little more room between tables. The ambiance was just great reminded me of the italian joints in nyc i grew up with, and finally the high quality bottled water was a hit.. cant wait to go back and take a different tour when they switch regions!”

North Ave Grill 7225 W North Ave, Wauwatosa New American • $$
7225 W North Ave, Wauwatosa

“This is truly a neighborhood diner that is a local favorite spot. We went on a Saturday mid-morning for brunch, and trust me . . . We were not alone. That joint was packed. We had about a 25 minute wait which was cool. Once we got seated, we were greeted by our waitress. The wait staff is not like an ordinary staff. They are a group of people that look like they just put on whatever is clean and come to work. You really don’t know who works there as the restaurant staff look like the average customer. . , it’s kinda weird, but it works. Our waitress was awesome!We had the Buffalo chicken BLT wrap with hand cut fries and creamy coleslaw and the spicy chicken quesadilla with tortilla chips w/salsa and sour cream. The food was soooo flavorful and seasoned to perfection.It’s a very busy dish place where everyone minds their own business. Loved it!!! I will be back. This restaurant should be featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.”
