“Love Johnny’s Italian steakhouse! The atmosphere is warm, comfortable and cozy. The staff are awesome (Niko helped me today & he is such a sweetheart) and the food is amazing! Every single time we’ve been there it’s been perfect!Parking: You park and walk in. As easy as that!“
“Villa Dolce is a consistently wonderful experience. No matter what day of week, or week of year, the service is impeccable, the bartenders are talented, the food is amazing, and the overall experience is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!!“
“Great value for good food- crazy big portion size so definitely bang for your buck. I had the dijon salmon which was good (not great, but good!). The house salad was tasty and filling as was the bread. The service was very prompt too. Will be coming back for laid-back, super-filling food. update: I’ve been back many times! Some dishes have been hit or miss for me but I get the seared salmon salad, minestrone, or piccata and I’m happy every time. Or really any salad or soup. My kids like the spaghetti kids meal.“
“Each year my large family comes for Christmas and we order Gino's Italian Deli piping hot lasagnas, garlic bread and salad. What a treat loved by all and especially the cook with little to clean up :) Thanks for making it easy every year Gino's for our holiday gathering needs.“
“Wonderful experience for dinner at Salvatore’s, E Wash & Livingston, Madison, WI.Crispy Calabrese Tofu was exquisite. Pizza great! Manda’s service was above and beyond. She was great with my 7 year old granddaughter!Vegetarian options: Crispy Calabrese Tofu exquisite!“
“I went here for lunch and it was super busy. I suggest ordering ahead of time and picking up because so many people were there. The sandwich itself was good and there’s a lot of food for the price. The main reason for only four stars is because of how busy it is and how their hours are very limited.“
“Once again you did not disappoint. We went for brunch this time, EXCELLENT. The food was spectacular, service was great. Our waitress Laura friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Bartender took pride in her craft. Owner is so personable and had come to our table everytime we have been in. Highly recommend!!“
“Enjoyed the scampi, although it was a little spicier than expected. The chicken parm was just fair. The chicken was mostly breading and dry, there wasn't enough sauce, and the noodles were very dense and chewy. My husband and I split both the dishes we ordered and we both only took a few bites of the chicken parm and had the rest boxed up. Not sure we'll get back to it, maybe we'll add more sauce at home and try it again. Service was great. We said that we planned to share our dishes and everything came up "pre-split," with no added charge. We very much enjoyed the complimentary (special occasion) cheesecake!“
“I stopped here for the first time because I had an appointment a few buildings next door. What a nice little restaurant. It is super family-friendly, and you can tell the food is authentic. Excellent Service as well, they were super accommodating for handicapped people Very friendly. I really enjoyed the pizza I had there today.“
“Recently had the chance to be in Madison and Gino’s is absolutely, positively worth visiting. I had the Italian Beef and got the large. This is a good sized sandwich at 8”. The thinly shaved beef was done perfectly with just the right amount of fat to make the sandwich tender and flavorful. I thought the seasoning was well done and the au ju sauce was amazing! I thought it was awesome service when the woman who took my phone order suggested I get the sandwich “dry” and they would put the sauce in a to go container. She said it was worth it because it makes this sandwich and she wasn’t kidding. There’s a choice of hot or mild peppers. I chose the mild and they were sweet, with a low tinge of spice. I will get the hot next time. Bread was either fresh or baked in house. Had a nice crunch with a soft and mild flavored body. You will not be hungry after eating this sandwich! I grew up blocks away from Omaha Nebraska’s “Little Italy” and I’ve eaten more than a fair amount of Hot Italian Beef sandwiches in the last 50 years. This sandwich, Is up there. I’m looking forward to my next Wisconsin visit already!!“
“Fantastic selection of rotating items with fantastic and knowledgeable waitstaff. Bluntly, some selections on the menu are better than others but everything is still good. That said, the fact this restaurant rotates items so frequently is an open invitation to frequently return. I've noticed despite the frequent rotations that they always feature a vegetarian item. Occasionally features exotic meats like kangaroo. Would highly recommend to anyone. The humble butterscotch pudding is surprisingly one of the single best desserts I've ever had.“
“I was at Naples 15 and was in shock to see the Grammy-award winning pianist Bill Charlap and his wife Renee Rosness. They were visiting from New York and came for a concert but stopped by Naples 15 for remembrance for the friendship between Salvatore (owner of Naples 15) and the famous singer Tony Bennett.“
“Solid choice for Italian food. Everything we ate was good. The pizza we had was tasty. Our pasta dishes were all good. We had the calamari for an appetizer, and it was kind of flavorless, but at least it didn't taste fishy. I think the breading could have used a bit more seasoning. The atmosphere is kind of fun, probably looks the same as it did in the 60s. Definitely the kind of place you can bring the whole family or a date.“
“Really quiet when we were here, populated but not busy or loud. Very very nice customer service, a little pricey but it's very good authentic food. Got Ravioli Carne, great spicy sauce and really good serving size, added a Caesar salad for $5, also very good. Creme Brulee was also delicious, not too sweet, and the canolli cake was magnificent, also not overly sweet, great balance between canoli and cake“
“We were looking for a new place to try and found this hidden gem. Great home made food and family friendly. It's not a big restaurant but there's plenty of seating. We were pleasantly surprised and very happy with the service. We will be coming back!“
“A hidden gem on the westside of Madison. The falafel is amazing. Highly recommend it. Prices are very reasonable and you get what you pay for if not more. Staff is very friendly and efficient.Looking for great Italian or Turkish food this is your place.“
“We finally ordered Zoe's for pick up last night. I had 1/2 vegan pepperoni 1/2 vegan pesto. Husband got regular cheese and garlic knots. I have been crazing pepperoni (vegetarian, which from most places is not at all like I remember pepperoni). Zoe's was EXCELLENT. The vegan pesto pizza was really good to. Whatever vegan cheese they are using is better than many places. The middle of my pizza was a little wet/floppy. Not perfection, but hey I will take based on how good the rest was. Could be a vegan cheese related issue?? My husband liked his pizza but didn't love it. He said it was chewy - he ordered hand tossed crust and said he would try a different one next time.Vegetarian options: There is a vegan menu - someone posted a photo on the Madison Area Vegans Facebook page. The online ordering system has vegan options, but there are more on the menu.“
“First timer. Soooo good. I had takeout beef ravioli, we also got alfredo and spaghetti with Italian sausage. I had never seen it served with a sausage on the spaghetti. All dishes were amazing. Staff we’re very friend authentic. Can’t wait to dine in. Only wish they were open during the day because it is about a mile from work. Great atmosphere.“
“My office booked Common Pasta for a client event and it was such a hit! The menu was simple yet varied, the portions were large, and the food was indulgent in the best way. Incredible service from a chef who knows Italian food. I can't wait to eat Common Pasta again! Highly recommend the food and hiring their truck for your next event!“
“I like this downtown restaurant. On State St, about a block from the Capitol Square. I loved the dark atmosphere. Cool jazz music playing. Besides not being very loud in there, the booths help make it easy to have a conversation. The rough brick wall also helps to break up any noise.Our server was very friendly and the timing of her check-ins was good.First off, I liked the bread. Besides being complementary, each piece was crunchy on one side and warm & buttery on the other. The roasted mushroom crostini was a great way to start the meals. It was crunchy chewy, with the expected sweetness from the cheese and glaze.My salmon crunchy outside and soft moist inside. The garlic lemon sauce was a great added flavor. The shrimp scampi also tasted great, although a bit too heavy on the garlic. The Bliss Burger was a tasty burger dripping with juicy goodness. The accompanying fries tasted just McDonald's fries, but a little less salty. The meat in the Ziti with Ragu was a nice combo of hearty meat with soft tender tasty ziti.The waitress passed by with plates of desserts that looked real good, but we were just too full. ....Next time.Overall, I really liked this upscale city tavern.“
“Doughnuts are amazing. My family showed up on Friday night after getting some pizza. The workers there, a husband wife combo, were amazing. Not only were the doughnuts amazing, the workers laughed and joked with my 4 year old son. Showing him all the doughnuts they had in stock. They even gave us 2 free doughnuts to take home for tomorrow. I will be buying all doughnuts from here from now on. 10/10“
“Love the old wood in the restaurant. Spencer the owner and bartender is always smiling and ready for a conversation. I have always enjoyed the food and have had many of the dishes offered.Parking: Street parking is hard because there are a lot of businesses that share the road and parking. Very small number of spaces out the back of the building.“
“One of my new favorite places to eat! Excellent drinks (especially the melon spritz), delicious food (the fried mozzarella balls and mafaldine cacio e pepe highly recommend trying) and beautifully decorated - absolutely love the vibes. Will definitely be back!“
“Best italian food I've ever had. I had the special chicken and shrimp alfredo. It was the best alfredo, perfectly rich creamy just the right consistency. The Chicken was moist, Shrimp was grilled and plenty of it. I can't wait to go back. Service was the best.“
“Our waitress was on point! I never had to ask for anything because she came back to the table every 7 mins to ask if we were okay and had some of the itmes with her so there was no I will bring it right back just give me 5 minutes type deal. Would eat here “
“I don’t usually write reviews but my experience at Luigi’s was amazing! We absolutely loved the racket and the Maximus! I’d also definitely recommend the garlic cheese bread. Service and atmosphere were also great! 10/10Vegetarian options: Tons of vegan, gluten free, and vegetarian options!“
“The service was the best. Araceli was amazing server , help us with everything we need , the best GF menu I had so far .. I recommend this place very clean classy .. Barb the manager came and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed .. very happy and I’m definitely going to be back soon“
“A culinary haven where every bite is a work of art and every glance at the plate feels like a discovery. The presentation is a testament to their craft, and the ambiance is a warm, inviting embrace. Suggesting this place to friends feels less like a recommendation and more like a well-guarded secret being shared.“
“Really good pizza at a fair price. We got the Salsiccia and the Lombarda. The Salsiccia was definitely the better pizza but both were very tasty in different ways. The tomato sauce shines through! Novanta is a great option when you want something different than the greasy standard pizza.“
