Place has open seating and plenty of TVs. We went for burgers. We had heard good things about burgers, so we dipped our toes into the change pool and gave it a shot. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. Either we had the wrong day or an inattentive cook. Wifey had the regular burger with a slice of raw and fries. Burger was ordered medium, a little pink showing. I went with the Gem Burger 1/3 pound with all the trimmings - tomato, lettuce, onion, bacon and a slice of pepper jack - and an order of fries. Wifeys burger was well done, even singed black on one side and her fries looked like they were from the end of the bag. All of them were pretty much less than an inch long. My burger was similar, not medium and more on the well side, but my bun was burned. Not just toasted a little extra, I could taste the burned bread. My fries were similar. The Gem has a problem with quality control. All the pizzas that came out looked fantastic, our burgers, not so much. The kicker was the cook came out to get a look at us before the end of the meal. Just a quick look and back to the kitchen. Bottom line .... stick to pizza. I'll never go back for another burger. There are better places in town for a good burger. Recommend that non pizza orders be double checked with good quality standards before leaving the kitchen.

Oh my goodness--I truly felt like I was back in Italy while dining at Mike's! My husband and I…read morefirst met Mike when he was part owner of Mama Mia's on the square in Baraboo, and now he's opened his own restaurant as the sole owner. Mike immigrated here legally from Albania and became a U.S. citizen, and you can taste the pride he puts into every dish--everything is homemade, even the pasta. I had the spicy chicken arrabbiata with Alfredo sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. The homemade garlic knots were mouthwatering, and the salads were fresh and crisp. My friend ordered the shrimp pasta and loved it. I also brought home two pizzas for my family, and they said it was the best pizza they've ever had! The service was excellent, and the restaurant itself is spacious with a great bar area. From now on, Mike's Italian Restaurant will be our go-to spot whenever we're in Baraboo. If you're in the area, give Mike a try--you won't be disappointed!

For my cocktail I had the THC tincture with ginger beer. I'm not an alcohol drinker so I was pleased to see the alternative. The service was amazing. Our servers name was Destiny. She was very attentive and checked on us regularly. They have all these umbrellas over each table that have to be constantly moved around to keep you in or out of the sun and they are so large and cumbersome they keep getting hooked up on each other. Not ideal. They have another outside seating area where a band plays. That looked very inviting. We were there too early for the band but it looked like a great setup. Inside they had lots of seating which was nice to have the option on such a beautiful day. They have these three fans I think outside to help cool and keep the bugs away. They could have been turned on soon this day before the bugs had started to come out.
