    The menu was very impressive, with multiple options that my wife I were eager to try. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and helped us decide on what to get. After ordering appetizers, pasta, desserts, and multiple drinks I was also surprised that the bill was lower than I expected, especially for the quality of everything. We will definitely return.

    We hadn’t been to Zarletti’s for over 10 years, and it was just as good as we remembered it being. We had our dinner seated at the bar, which is our preference. Our server was very friendly and attentive, and offered I could try a wine sample before ordering, which was great because I then went with a different wine option. We had the caprese salad and the basil was so fresh tasting, it was very good. For dinner I had the fish entree, which was grouper - it was delicious! My husband ordered the pasta oglio olio with sausage and that, too, was delicious. We were very happy with the food and service. We highly recommend dining here.

    We always eat here when we come to Milwaukee and stay at the Pfister hotel. It’s always delicious and the service is excellent! Plenty of food with awesome flavors. Great wine list and good drinks.

    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!
