I'll admit I was skeptical walking in. The restaurant is attached to a hotel that isn't the nicest,…read moreand the entrance had a strong hotel‑cleaning‑supply smell that made me apprehensive. But from the moment we sat down, it was all uphill from there. The Italian wedding soup was excellent, rich, flavorful, and clearly homemade. The pizza was decent, nothing extraordinary but solid with plenty of cheese. We also ordered the lasagna, the spicy chicken dish, and spaghetti and meatballs. The standout was the spicy chicken: the "spicy red sauce" turned out to be more of a creamy, spicy blend, and it was fantastic. Everything came out piping hot, which I really appreciated. They also bring out warm rolls, and those were surprisingly tasty, soft, fresh, and perfect for dipping. Overall, I highly recommend this place. Despite the rough first impression, it turned out to be one of the best restaurants in the area.

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!

They wanted to charge for 2 toppings because we asked for 2 toppings and I told them I'm only ordering half of each topping on one side and just half of the other topping on the other which in fact means 1 topping charge anywhere else. Well the lady was flustered and put her husband on the phone and then he exploded in me and said she told you what the cost is he said do you know who you're talking to and I said yes and he knew who he was talking to and he exploded over the phone on me and said don't buy it then and got very rude when I was simply asking about the topping prices. We have ordered from them many times before and have eaten there as well but, I will never eat at that place again. I can get a quality pizza at other places in town for half their price they charge so, I won't b going back their. And last but not least, if you are going to run a business in town like that one, you need to be open longer than 4 or 5 O'clock in the afternoon and you can't be closed on Saturdays or Sundays especially during football season and sporting events in town. Poorly run in my opinion. Concerned citizen

We were in town for a night to see the House on the Rock…read more We did a quick search for places to eat that were open on a Sunday. Street parking was available. This bar was open and we were able to walk right in. We were warmly welcomed by the individual behind the bar. We snagged the table and convinced the individual to switch on the football game on the TV above us. We enjoyed a few drinks as we watched the game. She was happy to list off what was available as all four of us wanted something a little different. Menus had options for appetizers or full meals. We ordered fried cheese curds for the table first. We gobbled them up quickly. There was a changing of the guard behind the bar and we soon discovered a new waiter. He seemed gruff but really was sweet. It was starting to get busy and he was on his own. We put in our food orders and enjoyed the football game while we waited. My friend got the Taco Pizza and said she loved it. My husband and I shared a nice big hamburger and fries plate. Another individual at the table got the popcorn shrimp but there was plenty of food to go around. We all enjoyed our meals and drinks and the atmosphere. The regulars were all up at the bar and enjoying the camaraderie during the football game. I can see why this place is a regular go to for some. Cheers!

I spent a night in Dodgeville during my weekend trip to House on the Rock and Taliesin. When I…read morelooked for places to eat dinner that night, Yelp revealed only two options within about a 15-mile radius. One of them was Dino's. When my friend and I asked the hotel desk clerk for restaurant recommendations, he said Dino's is among the best in the area, so off we went. When we arrived and saw the exterior Old Style sign and rather sketchy front door, which included a taped, handwritten note warning that they accept only cash or checks for payment, I was tempted to leave immediately. It looks like a hole-in-the-wall bar, not THE place in town for dinner. But we were hungry and up for an adventure, so we went in. As expected, there were patrons sitting at the bar, but a few feet away were a few tables, so we sat down and waited, and then waited some more. After 10 minutes or so, we figured we must have to order food at the bar, so my friend went up to ask. While she was gone, a server came to our table, apologized for the delay and then began attending to us. She asked what I'd like to drink, and I asked if there were malt beverages or any options besides beer. She seemed confused by the question and stated that they have lemonade, so I decided to stick with water. A little while later, we saw another patron drinking a White Claw, though. The menu featured typical bar fare such as burgers and pizza. We were there on a Friday night, and there was a handwritten fish fry menu posted on a pillar, along with some lighthearted pandemic restaurant rules (see photo). I ordered the three-piece cod dinner, which came with a choice of potatoes. I got a baked potato. My meal was also served with a soft roll, coleslaw, tartar sauce and sour cream. I actually enjoyed it more than I expected to, mostly given the indoor and outdoor atmosphere, and it was a decent meal (though not particularly healthy) for $11.

This is my second time visiting this restaurant and this time I brought my husband…read more We start with a very friendly "hello" from the bartender who was quick to get our drinks out to us while we looked at the very extensive menu. We decided to start with the artichoke dip which was a generous amount and tasted great. The chips were salty but that's what you get for commercial bagged chips. My Bloody Mary was delicious. Thick and full of flavor, just the way I like them. At least really good for anywhere in WI that I have found so far. I had the thin crust hot honey pizza w added black olives and mushrooms. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this pizza. It was just so good! Just the right amount of honey sweetness to offset the salty of the cheese and pepperoni! I could have gorged myself and ate the whole thing, but I did restrain myself fortunately. We had a couple slices reheated in the air fryer for a late snack (we NEVER do this!)", and my husband decided he was also a fan. He had a burger and o'rings that he thought the beef was bland and the o'rings were too greasy. Over all, it was a very nice meal and the whole staff that interacted with us were so very friendly. Everyone kept asking how the food was and made sure we didn't need anything else. We drive over 30 minutes just to get other options than the few local places here that don't offer much. We are going back today to have the pizza again.

Inside, it's all lodge-like knotty cedar on it's high ceiling and walls, and while that may not be novel for this part of the state, it is especially good quality, well-maintained, and nicely designed compared to the interiors of many of the other well-worn taverns in the area. However; that does not carry over to the bar seats that are well worn-out and held together with electric tape. So who cares, no one can see it once their butt is firmly in place. Highly recommended: Prime Rib breakfast every Saturday and Sunday from 8a.m. til 12 p.m. Tender, juicy, lightly browned, served with tasty au jus, eggs your way, and hash browns made "special" with the addition of onion and melted cheese, on request. Noteworthy touches: an adorable, elderly poodle mascot behind the bar, a lazy calico cat with her name embroidered on her own stool, and customers are welcome to bring in their well-behaved pups, as well; I would be remiss not to mention a small but adequate selection of slots in a side room near the screened back door. The requisite beer and alcohol are available but served in plastic "glasses", so do like the natives and drink beer from the bottle. Full, decent quality pub grub menu. Ask the bartender for directions to Trader's tiki bar and food on the adjacent camp grounds on the Wisconsin river. It's called an island and it has the vibe. If the upscale, aggressive bar scene in Chicago is beginning to seem more chore than it's worth, the quasi-dive/restaurants and supper clubs strung like wooden beads on a coir chain along the by-ways of this close-in Driftless Region (Google it) of Wisconsin are well worth the scenic, pastoral drive and time--especially if you're not looking to hook up, fall in love, get married, and have kids. It's simply a great way to unwind, relax, and just be yourself by yourself, with your best buds, or SO--and return home with change for your ten-spot jingling in your pocket.
