Restaurant Recommendations

[StillWarriors]

Heading into town this weekend for the game and a reunion with MU friends. Looking for some restaurant recommendations. I'm thinking I'd like to hit the 3rd Ward maybe Sat night, but otherwise pretty flexible. Looking for moderately priced American/Italian menus with good atmosphere. Thanks

I really enjoy (among others):

Morel
Crazy Water
Story Hill BKC
Odd Duck

For Italian, I guess Ristorante or an old neighborhood red sauce joint.

Oscar's Pub for a delicious burger.
The Tandem for some incredible fried chicken (and an awesome breakfast burrito...kitchen opens at 11:00 and I believe brunch/lunch is cheaper than dinner).

Ahem.

[4everwarriors]

Onesto, Zarletti's, Bavette, hey?

[Goose]

Crazy Water is one of my favorites.

[StillWarriors]

Ahem.

Haha. Always at the top of the list late night!

[StillWarriors]

I appreciate the suggestions.

Moderately priced American/Italian in the Third Ward - Onesto is absolutely your jam. At a slightly higher cost per plate (but in my opinion, the best Italian food in the city) Zarletti near Cathedral Square is awesome.

I would also highlight Centro (Riverwest) and Tenutas (Bayview)

No love for Trattoria DiCarlo?

Angelo's, Wales on Wells, Grebe's, George Webb.

I also recall Ricky's had a "Businessman's Special"

[Spotcheck Billy]

AFAIK, Ricky's is no more.

Arby's

YGBSM.

The "Businessman's Special" was a sandwich, a beer, and a lap dance.

Absolutely! Zarletti is really good. A bit pricey but good.

I wasn't a big fan of Onesto. It was good, no complaints. Just wasn't blown away. Will have to try Zarletti.

Arby's

Took a long time for someone to give the right answer.

4ever is a big fan of dining at the Y.  Aina.

[Bocephys]

Tre Rivali at the Kimpton is good.  Buckleys recently renovated a large space as well.

We are planning on Mader's on Friday night.  Solid choice......or talk me out of it.

Mader's is a solid choice for experiencing Milwaukee's German heritage. When I fly friends in to visit I often take them there.

Agree with the Zarletti suggestions.  And I would also suggest Stella Van Buren in the downtown Westin.  Cool space with very good Italian, steak, and seafood options.
