    Much larger than expected, great flare and huge portions. Everything was excellent....even the fries. One unusual thing: they have Bocce ball tournaments all year long. Worth the stop!

    Ordered pizza with green peppers they out pepperoni on it instead which I can't have. Ordered pasta with Alfredo sauce. This was good. They asked me what kind of salad dressing I wanted. When I got back home with my food their wasn't a salad. People pay a lot of money for your food. Their hard earned money. Double check your food orders to make sure they are right.

    We have been here before so decided to check out the fish fry. Upon arriving, we were told it would be a 10-15 minute wait. The wait actually was only five minutes. Enough time to grab a cocktail from the wonderful bar staff. Bonus for us on a Friday night! Our server, Stephanie, was pleasant and attentive. We ordered the regular fish fry and the baked cod napolitano. The baked cod made this way was truly delicious and I highly recommend it! The eggplant fries were tasty. His fish fry was barely warm when it was served and as soon as Stephanie was told this, she immediately went to the kitchen and came back to offer apologies and then a couple of new and very fresh (hot) pieces of fish. Stephanie answered all of our questions throughout the evening and was truly a great ambassador for this restaurant. Good job! We will definitely be back.

    We had another wonderful dinner at Albanese’s. Yes, spaghetti is probably the easiest Italian dinner to make at home, but, unless you try their spaghetti and meatballs, you’ll see why this is what I almost always order. The thick rich sauce, two filling meatballs an knowing I’ll have a hearty lunch the next day. Can’t wait to get back, and should add, great drinks and the wait staff is very friendly. Note: The price per son below is incorrect. Most prices are in the $15-$25 per person range.

    Closing its doors March 31st. Updated hours until then posted on their door. Going to miss this place!! Thank you Albanese family for serving the community for 40+ years.

    We had a wonderful evening tonight. Host Nate was great, our server Lisa was wonderful in making a birthday celebration for our friend great and ALL of our meals were delicious 😋

    Friendly, and they prioritize customer service. Got there early and the staff was flying around getting ramped up for the early crowd at the bar. A lot of regulars and the staff is familiar with them all. Some people seem to stay a little after dinner. Owners really work here. Food was all solid. Meatballs excellent. Bread comes with a proper Wisconsin level of butter.

    Absolutely loved the place. One time I went there I had a very blunt waitress who made us laugh our a**es off, but i'm not even sure if she works there anymore or not. The food is great and the portions are very big. They're a little more on the expensive side, but for how much you get you can't go wrong with it. The atmosphere is great. 10/10 would recommend for a family meal or even a date.

    The staff and albanese family is amazing. Some of the most friendly people you’ll meet. We came in for a large party and the service was great. Pizza is not the best I’ve ever had, but still awesome!!

    Went here with extended family Add the Albanese's special plus a free bottle of the house wine I can't tell you enough how good this was. And much thanks to my good friend Tina who just happened to be our server. Great food great fun

    We arrived and were seated after not too long. It was fairly busy. We sat at the table for without even being acknowledged (not even a "we'll be right with you") for the better part of 20 minutes. Multiple wait staff walked by us staring at our menus then with our menus down staring around the place. We were about to leave when we were asked if we had been helped. When we were finally attended to the staff was very kind. The food was unfortunately not very good. We ordered the fish fry (one with salad and on with the house soup) and the meatball appetizer. -The meatballs were small and (only 4) covered in sauce. The sauce was delicious. -The fish fry was okay and the fries were very good. The soup was not good as it had a funny taste to it. The salad was plain but okay. Overall the fries and the sauce couldn't save what was a very disappointing dinner. For the price (almost $60 for 2 people) I expected better. I would not reccomend. Maybe the other dishes were better?

    Always look forward to the house wine. Portions are huge. We all took a to go box home. I had the Chicken parm. Plenty leftover for dinner and lunch. Price is very reasonable. Servicer Alecia was great!

    Overall the place seemed slow and got seated right away. The person that sat us seemed annoyed or busy at first and also ended up being our waitress but then took awhile to order our drinks, bartender that had to go get her was very nice. To start off with my salad had a hair in it, the dressing was the worst Italian dressing I've ever tasted and my stuffed shells were overcooked and the sauce tasted as if it's been sitting all day. Just a bad experience all around. Being a first time person there in my 31 years of living in waukesha, I can honestly say I won't be back. Some good points, even though the bad outweighs them are, the bread was decent and my drink was great.

    First time here. Came with my husband for a date night. I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. I had a pasta dish and my husband had the pork chops (both really good). It's an old school Italian food/ pizza place that has the classic table clothes and really good service. Having a bigger family it's always a gamble taking kids to restaurants. But we noticed plenty of families with kids. Will definitely be back with the whole family next time to try the pizza.

    First time customers we enjoyed our fish fry and baked fish. We plan on coming back to try something different looks like a great menu.

  • 4/5 E B. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food but service was a little slow. Only one waitress in the dining room, felt sorry for her. Should have been somebody, such as the manager, clearing tables for her and helping out.

  • 5/5 Amy W. 2 years ago on Google
    Had the most amazing dinner tonight. Everything was delicious, especially the Meatball Sporkie app which is a must try. Service was fabulous too. Will definitely be back soon.

    Food and service has gone downhill. On Friday nite a kid crawled inside a video game - Parents were oblivious and employees ignored, laughed, & never said anyting.
