Bartolotta Wauwatosa

We went on a Friday at The area was saturated with traffic and parking was an adventure. My advice, UBER/Lyft if you decide to go. My expectations were high as I have always associated the Bartolotta brand synonymous with quality, creativity, and excellent service. Our server appeared to be some what discombobulated. For instance, when she poured our water (glasses were already at the level we desired) she poured so fast water splashed all over the table, more than once. She also seemed annoyed and impatient. They were out of menus so we had to wait until they were available. She did level off as we were able to have some conversations around the menu items. The food overall was a very bold attempt to give the diner the experience of the Tuscan cuisine. The food was marginal at best. The soup was so thick it was reminiscent of tomato paste and the egg was over cooked. The ribbon pasta had a great flavor, but to much salt, and I like salty. The pork was flavorful but slightly over cooked. The fish had a good texture and was cooked well but a bit fishy. The price was quite high so that is also the disappointment. I was underwhelmed and did not feel welcomed

The current format of a course fixed price menu is outstanding. The current region being featured is Tuscany. Delish and uncommon choices in each course with something for everyone

Our service team and food was outstanding. We really enjoyed our dining experience and will definitely go back again

The whole idea of a changing menu featuring dishes from different regions of Italy every month or so is a great concept

We had a perfect evening! Loved it! The outdoor area is quaint. The regional themed meal was so fun
