    Everything from the food (being the special ravioli and the pistachio crusted fish with a Door County Cherry sauce), the wine, the house made limoncello, down to the salted caramel gelati was divine!!! Zarletti is one of our favorites and we will continue coming back time and time again!

    The food was as amazing as the first time we were here but we felt rushed by our server. Otherwise things were ok, missed the back in Italy feeling we got our first visit.

    Zarletti's never disappoints. The food (lobster stuffed ravioli and cherry glazed grouper) was top notch. There's a reason when I want Italian style cuisine, that I choose here. If you've never been, and are looking for top notch food, and service, make Zarletti's a destination. You will not be disappointed!!

    Food and drinks were average. Nothing special. Service felt very rushed. The tables are also very close together. I would probably not return here.
