Come early or late. It gets busy. Excellent service and food. We came a bit after 6 and was very busy, was able to get table for 4.

Pizza w/ arugula, goat cheese and pepperoni

Thin crust pizza with the corn meal underneath... you can't beat this! Small, quaint bar where if you're here for a Badger game- get here early... the tables fill up with fans...but the bar has awesome cocktails, great apps and home made desserts. Friendly staff- all around 5 stars!

Another amazing meal at Greenbush. My boys noticed how attentive the staff was on a very busy football night. Staff is above and beyond. Big arguments about which pizza was best. New Haven is sick but the roasted red pepper and onion w Franoni's sausage was ridiculous.

Pizza

Been going here at least once a month for years. Amazing pizza, great whiskey selection, and awesome staff. IMO, there are a lot of great places in town but none have ever had amazing pizza, until I found this place. If you like thin crust with no flop this is it.

New Haven clam pizza

I took out a pizza for dinner on Friday evening. The place was full. Pizza took 30 minutes. I went for a New Haven clam pizza. It was a good pizza. Clams could be a littlie bit more fresh.

We were looking for a place after a night game that had places to sit, food and wasn't filled with college kids . We wish we were still in college but sadly we aren't and can't hang like that anymore. We searched pizza places on our walk away from the stadium and this came up and WoW - we hit the jackpot! Walked down the stairs and door opened to the exact atmosphere I was looking for . Great people , chill atmosphere and serving food and drink late ! We gave our name for a table but sat at the bar while we waited. It was only about a 20 minute wait and it was about 11:00 pm. The pizza was excellent and just what we needed . We also splurged and got some cheesecake too- yum yum! I was in heaven with pizza , spotted cow and cheesecake! Need to get back here ASAP!

Excellent pizza and a great vibe! I love all the holiday lights. It's a really cozy place. I highly recommend coming around the holidays. We arrived at 5pm on a Saturday night and were told it would be about a 45 minute wait so we went up to the bar to have a drink while we waited. We were quickly served at the bar and our table was ready in about 20 minutes. We had an attentive and helpful waitress. Someone in our party is not a huge fan of marinara sauce so the waitress had a great recommendation for a white sauce pizza. We did all build your own style pizza which I really like. The pizza is thin, crispy and cut into squares, my fav style. So good! We kicked off our meal with the garlic bread. I could go without next time, there were only a few slices of bread, I didn't think it was worth the cost. Note there is no parking lot, but we found street parking down one of the side streets. When you enter the building you have to walk down some stairs (no elevator).

Garlic Bread, Espresso Martini
Haley W.

Best espresso martini I've ever had! Loved the flakey salt on top. For food we ordered the garlic bread, the Alberici, and the Stromboli (pizza style). The Alberici was my favorite. Service was attentive and the food came out quickly! Loved the mood of the place and the music. :)

16" Thin Crust Pizza
Helena W.

Omg where do I even start??! This pizza is by far one of the top tier pizzas I've ever had (this is in comparison to NYC pizza like Lucali's and L'industrie). We built our own pizza and put Italian sausage, caramelized shallots, and red onions, CHEFS KISS!! The fresh basil on top is amazing too. I actually really liked how the pizza was cut into smaller squares instead of triangles too. It's plenty for 2 people imo. The flavor of the sauce and cheese is everything, YOU MUST TRY IT!! The location of this place is also so hidden so it look us a while to find it, but it's definitely a IYKYK type of place. Service was great besides there not really being a check in area so we had to ask them if we just seat ourselves, but our waitress was super friendly. The decor is super cute, the place is super cozy, and it's a nice date night spot or place to catch up with a friend. Give this place a try when u can!! Also note the days they're open and the days they're not, it's not very intuitive.

Fun, moody atmosphere, perfect for a date night or casual drinks with friends. If you enjoy thin crust pizza this is a must to check out. I loved the crunch. We tried the New Haven style with clams which was very garlicy if you're into that. Was really excited to try their espresso martinis with flakey salt but they didn't stand out too much to me. Still good though! We went on a Thursday night and it wasn't too busy. We were seated right away and service was quick!

Great thin crust pizza! Cute interior and great service. Reminds me of a 1950's family style Italian restaurant. Friendly wait staff.

Over inflated prices, not much food for a family dinner costing $107 before tip. $30 16" pizza with scarce toppings. Rip off!

He was so sweet and informative. Went through the menu and described everything in such detail. My friend and I were visiting Madison for work and he offered us so many options to fill our free time. He takes so much pride in everything and it shows. The ambiance of the restaurant is a little on the nicer side, but they do allow casual attire. 10/10 recommend and can't wait to come back for the wine flight with the in house Somm.

Drip coffee was delicious to start. I had the lobster fettuccine and there was PLENTY of lobster in it. Pasta tasted fresh and it hit the spot! Some of our party got the French toast which looked amazing and I'll probably try next time-- peaches and pecans with it! A few of them ordered bacon on the side too and it came with plenty of it, 3-4 long strips. Cannoli was the pastry I chose and it was the perfect sweet treat. Filling had cinnamon and was dipped in pistachios, which I will be back for! Ella was our server-- simply amazing! Super attentive, knows the menu like the back of her hand, and went above and beyond for us many times. Michael was one of the hosts who went out of his way to practically give us a photo shoot to capture my friend's special day. Beautiful restaurant with an elevated feel. Open environment while still making the table feel private. They were piping pastries while we were there which was fun to see. Went on a summer Saturday around 11, and if you're from Madison, you know that means the farmer's market (aka, make a plan A/B/C for parking, plan plenty of time to get there and be patient with the crowd outdoors).

I also love being in restaurants where they really bring in the traditions of the cuisine. For apps, we shared the eggplant fritters (which were amazing!), burrata and salad. Must get the eggplant fritters, they were little balls of eggplant delight! And I am a huge eggplant parm fan so this was right up my alley. For my main, I opted for the shrimp scampi with homemade pasta! I loved the homemade pasta! However, I felt the sauce was very light. I wish I could've ordered this pasta dish with the san marzano sauce. I think that would've made the flavor pop more for me. And for desserts, they were also incredible. Tiramisu, cannoli and the lemon sorbet! Highly recommend the lemon sorbet, was such a strong lemon flavor. Overall, definitely recommend in the Madison area, one of my favs so far!

I didn't like sauce on the pizza and the cheese & crust were only okay. I'd come back again.

My boyfriend's family and I came for a Sunday dinner and despite being a larger group, we were able to snag a table immediately. Don't let that fool you though - this place is popular and we seem to have gotten one of the last tables available. When it came to food and drinks, I got a white wine sangria, which I really liked, but it only came with an orange wedge on the side of the rim. I was disappointed because I was expecting fruit in the sangria. It wasn't a big deal, and was an okay drink. When it came to food, Lombardinos had a couple specials, one of which was a wood grilled broccoli and cauliflower appetizer, and their blueberry salad. We also got the calamari and olives. Overall, I really enjoyed all of the appetizers. We then all got our own entrées - unfortunately they were out of the veal entrée for some of our family members. I ended up getting the scallops which I thought were overcooked, and I didn't like the couscous that came with. It was too acidic and the roasted tomatoes that came with the couscous didn't help with the acidity levels. However, my boyfriend did share some of his crab and clam linguine. I really liked that dish, but they were out of clams as well, so it really was only a crab pasta. I hope they are able to offer their full menu in the future, because I think I would come back, but only if they had some of those dishes available.

We visited for a date night and even though it wasn't busy there were a few times I was without water and due to the layout of the restaurant and where we were seated we couldn't flag anyone down. For food, we avoided the pasta due to the reviews and ordered other items instead. The calamari was surprisingly good even though it looks frozen, it was cooked absolutely perfectly which is hard for calamari so I was very impressed. The porto salad was delicious, and reminded me of a supper club salad. The pizza (That's A Spicy) was the best part, as I love a crunchy and thin crust pizza and there were so many toppings. The tiramisu for dessert was also fantastic. Definitely a great date night spot.

Three of us sorted the small Portabella salad and one of us sorted the Caesar salad. The salads are always great, especially the portobello salad with the buttermilk all dressing. It's a staple! Three of us ordered the Garibaldi sandwich. I ordered mine with jalapeños. We had another order with the hot banana peppers and the third order with no peppers at all. The bread was toasted perfectly along with the sesame seeds on top of the bread. Everyone loved Garibaldi. My granddaughter ordered the manicotti with a Alfredo sauce and a red sauce. The three of us took a bite of it and it was absolutely great. They also serve some nice French bread with butter. The atmosphere here is really nice and quaint. The service was excellent. Have to give it four stars. I look forward to coming back next year. It's too bad. They don't have the white house sandwich like Paissan 's used to have.
