In the heart of Wauwatosa, there’s an old brewery that’s found new life as one of the best Italian restaurants in Wisconsin. Ristorante Bartolotta dal 1993 offers a dining experience that will make you think you’ve somehow been transported overseas. The food, service, and atmosphere are all outstanding. If you're looking for a special meal, this is the place. Here’s the best Italian food in Wisconsin, waiting for you at Ristorante Bartolotta dal 1993.

Ristorante Bartolotta dal 1993 has been wowing diners and restaurant critics for three decades. It was the start of a Milwaukee-area restaurant empire that now includes nearly a dozen dining spots.

The original Ristorante Bartolotta dal 1993 is located in Wauwatosa Village, a charming Milwaukee-area neighborhood. It’s as fresh and delicious as ever. It serves delicious Italian cuisine in a warm and cozy atmosphere.

The menu is kind of like being given the keys to an Alfa Romeo and a map of Italy’s top culinary regions. It takes diners on a food tour they won’t forget.

Fasten your seatbelt, start your engine, and practice your Italian: You’re in for some big flavors here. Start with Carpaccio Di Manzo “Arrigo Cipriani.” It’s shaved raw beef with capers and Venetian aioli.

The first courses are just as luxurious – no translation is needed for the garganelli alla panna con prosciutto e piselli. But if your Italian is rusty, it’s pasta quills with cream, peas, prosciutto, and Parmigiano.

Second courses continue the fun. Feeling like a little protein? Go for the polletto all’mattone- it’s a wood-roasted half-Cornish hen with caramelized Brussels sprouts.

You’ll want to save room for dessert, as the menu has everything from house-made sorbet to the best tiramisu you’ve ever tasted. See the full menu on the Ristorante Bartolotta dal 1993 website.
