    Our group loved our appetizers and entres. The server was excellent. We were seated about 15 or 20 minutes after our reservation.The flourless chocolate cake was a bit dry.

    We eat at Zarletti's a couple of times each year because I can't get enough of their Osso Bucco - sooo good. I truly feel Zarletti's is one of the top five restaurants in Miwaukee and the best for gourmet Italian. I wish the owners would find a larger space so there'd be more tables so the reservations wouldn't be so hard to come by.

    The pistachio fish was great, service very good as well. We loved the tiramisu and the banana semi freedom with macadamia nut brittle. A great part of our weekend getaway
