The most wonderful experience ever. They were so kind in helping my friends find ideal items for their dietary needs and two of us had the the bison short rib tortellini, which was excellent! I absolutely love the small intimate experience this restaurant provides. Anyone of their desserts is a great way to finish your dining experience.If you have the opportunity, try the house made limoncello!
Pictured is the duck heart and butterscotch pudding I believe. This meal was in my top 5 best meals I have ever eaten. Staff was very knowledgeable of the menu that changes daily. Great place for date night. Delicious meal!
"Bruh" -Gordon Ramsay But seriously, Holy smokes is this place good. Without a doubt in my top 3 best restaurants in Madison. We split two appetizers and 3 mains. We ordered strictly from the rotating specials menu and followed it up with dessert. We are already planning our next meal here and can't wait
I ordered tortellini and it was pretty average. I would say it is not worth the amount we paid for though. The main reason for the two stars is the staff. Specifically our waitress was an older woman and was the rudest waitress I’ve ever had. She was impatient with our order and made me and my boyfriend extremely uncomfortable. Shown is my boyfriends water which she completely overflowed and didn’t apologize or clean up. She would glare at us while we were eating, never smiled, and was completely unprofessional. We could tell she did not want to be serving us and has no respect for the restaurant to be acting like that. The overall experience may not have been that bad but she ruined our night and wrecked our experience at this restaurant.
Absolutely fantastic Italian place. Everything we got - salad, drinks, mocktails, pastas, and desserts- were all great. Service and ambience was great. Definitely would return when back in town!!
I didn't like it all. Super overpriced and the "Pescatora" tasted like canned tuna in tomato broth. Safe to say, we won't be returning. Only giving it two stars because our waitress Amsae was very kind.
Overrated and overpriced. The fried shrimp included the head and we're not deveined. The noodle dish was undercooked and was not spicy although advertised as spicy. Seating was cramped and the Ambiance is quite noisy. Service was good, and so were the desserts.
Such a fun menu and atmosphere. Somehow feels like you’re in a hallmark Christmas special whenever you’re in there. A great place to go if you like variety and unique takes on common ingredients.
I’ve been excited to dine here since their James Beard award write up, and after tasting their divine sandwiches for lunch it was time to do a full dinner experience with the hubby. It is hands down my favorite Italian restaurant now. We got an amazing cheese plate, some bread, and wine. The main course of squid ink spaghetti was perfection. The fresh cannoli with shells flown in from Sicily that day?! What?! Service was wonderful. The atmosphere is great. So so so worth it!
I may be going against the grain here, but unfortunately, my wife and I did not find this worth the hype. I'm not holding this against them in the overall numerical rating, but I do think it is worth mentioning that the service could be improved. Their staff even admitted they made an error with the table groupings and as such, we were forgotten for a good chunk of time. They also slightly messed up a drink order. They apologized, but ultimately that was it and it was a bit frustrating in the moment... Outside of those things, the food just wasn't that impressive. My wife got the cinghiale dish and I got the fettuccine. We both felt they were fine. Hers was a little bland and while mine had some good spice, the actual pasta was a little off to me. I'll note some positives though, the bread was decent and the butterscotch pudding was excellent. In the end, I've just heard this was one of the best places in Madison for pasta and Italian, but I'd put it in the realm of Olive Garden in terms of taste and flavors. And just to add some validation, we overheard the couple sitting next to us express similar feelings about the food; in fact they were a bit harsher. Anyways, the best pasta and Italian food in town remains on Atwood.
