Reviews for IL MITO Trattoria e Enoteca in Wauwatosa, WI
Online ordering “down”, so called. They tell me we don’t take orders over the phone. What??? I have never had a restaurant... say this. I had to go order in person and wait. Food expensive and smaller portions to go then when you dine in. Good linguine,but the steak with pasta we ordered supposed to be medium was way overcooked. We have dined here before and food was good, wouldnever order carryout again. Read more
Super disappointing. Had the risotto shrimp dish and the shrimp were small and tasted farm raised/low quality not wild caught.... Also had the spaghetti and sauce was tasteless. Even the chocolate torte was meh. Read more
Ate here for the first time. Food was amazing! Not a big food menu but a good variety. Quailty of mixed drinks could be better. ... Drink menu was nice but very pricey. Took the server a long time to get to our table but did provide quality service. Overall itwas a good experience and I enjoyed my food. I would return. Read more
Unbelievably bad. Our service was slow, but it's a fancy sit down restaurant, so we were supposed to chit chat and it really... wasn't too big of a deal. It was the food that I am going to discuss. This was to be a 3 star review, wait until the end. So weordered appetizers and drinks. The Sangria was tart without being refreshing, It had very little flavor outside "tart". Iordered some simple syrup to cut the sourness, and sure enough it simply became less tart. No additional flavors were present.Diet Coke was flat The Eggplant and the Meatballs. The Eggplant was wet and unappetizing in a forgettable sauce. That's aphrase you will hear a lot, along with mediocre. Nothing was impressive. The meatball was nothing fantastic, it tasted likemeat. Not spiced meat, not grilled meat, as if they had fried them to create a maillard crust or sear. Just meat. The texturewas nice unlike the sloppy wet kiss of the eggplant. So i had a sauce perhaps we could get some flavor with that mouthfeel.Sadly, it comes in a white cheese also devoid of flavor. So we ordered food. I got the Carne. I was not impressed. Where tostart? Bad pizzas are loaded with thick, dense layers of melted cheese. It had cooled and congealed by the time I got it, so itwas essentially just cool cooked cheese, and far too much. As if they were trying to cover up a bad pizza. A few sprinkles ofMushroom flakes and maybe a dozen onions, neither translucent nor caramelized but somewhere in the middle, graced the pie. Icouldn't tasted them for all the gluey cheese. and layered unceremoniously, upon -and with no regard for aesthetics, were largeslices of Pick'n Save Deli meat. I assume that's what it was. The Beef was gray, the salami was red and had no fat chunks, itdid not curl nor were it's edges burnt. and the prosciutto - I have never had prosciutto that looked so much like thin slicedbaloney. Typically there are streaks. And I'd call it mortadella maybe, but no fat chunks. They were large pieces Read more
Great place to go for New Year's Eve! Food excellent. Service great. Atmosphere relaxing. Will be back soon!
I have come here several times in the past and always had a good experience. I decided to bring my boyfriend here for the first... time since it’s one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the Milwaukee area. We were sat and waited several minutes beforethe host/bar back came over and took our drink order. He brought the drinks and when seemed surprised when we told him ourserver had not yet been over to introduce herself or take our order. Upon hearing this, he took our appetizer order and told usour server would be with us shortly. It wasn’t until we had finished our appetizers, 40 minutes since we sat down, that ourserver finally came over by us. She asked if we needed more time with the menu… unless she thought we were illiterate whywould we need more than 40 minutes to decide our entrees ?! At this point I could not give her the benefit of the doubt. Yes therestaurant was fairly busy, but she greeted and served food to another table that sat down AFTER us before she even looked ourdirection. This was a very sad experience for me since I have always had a wonderful time here in the past. As always, the foodwas wonderful. But as many restaurant owners know, the service is as important as the quality of the food. This time the servicefell far below the food quality and therefore, I will not be returning for a long time, if ever. Read more
Hands down the absolute best Italian food in the area. Yes, I am Italian and it's better than my Nona's. I cannot recommend this... place enough. The food, the drinks, the staff, the atmosphere and unmatched. Read more
Small, rustic location. Very comfortable atmosphere. Casual. Service was excellent and the food delicious. I ordered the... Carne pizza. So good. I would have liked it cooked a bit longer to brown the cheese, but that's just a personal preference. Idid brown it when reheating the leftovers and it actually brought out the flavor of the caramelized onion more. Don't get mewrong, it was still VERY tasty cooked per their recipe. Others in the group ordered the fettuccine, rib eye, risotto, and oneordered 2 appetizers for her dinner. All agreed the food was excellent. The only problem you'll run into is parking. It ismost challenging as there are no parking lots anywhere so it is all street parking. In a busy area. Free, but you COULD bewalking a block, or more, If it's a busy night on North Avenue. Worth it. Read more
