Staying at the Wilderness with friends and we wanted a pizza night. Called in our order. The food arrived quickly (30 minutes), was hot and tasted fresh. We had the caprese salad, Italian chop salad, veggie thin crust pizza, tiramisu, and cannoli. I really liked everything except my tiramisu. It was gritty. I can't speak to the ambiance since we did delivery, but I would definitely return in the future to try other entrees! I also really appreciated the free breadsticks they included along with paper plates/napkins/forks.

Side house salad (complimentary with entrees)

Located around the corner from the main wilderness resort, this is a convenient location. They actually have a shuttle from the Wilderness but it was only a 3 min walk from the resort. The ambience is nice, beautiful murals on the walls and easy listening Italian music playing. The menu is pretty big and there are lots of options. The entrees come with a side salad, which is nice, although the ranch dressing was a bit off; it was very thick and tasted like mayonnaise. I ordered the short rib pappardelle; the flavor was good and the short rib was tender. However this wasn't pappardelle, more like lasagna noodles, although they did taste homemade. I also didn't like that the short rib had tons of frizzle on it and glob of ricotta was not necessary.

Kids Spaghetti & Meatball

My family enjoys eating here. It's very much like an independent Olive Garden and it's not the cheapest nor the most expensive place in the Dells, But the pizza is good -- the toppings are fresh and plentiful. It was Friday my wife enjoyed the fish fry and the option of a baked potato. My youngest did not enjoy her spaghetti and meatball, but she's a very picky eater. The broccolini was not to my eldest liking, but she was expecting roasted broccoli, and this was not bad, but not what she was expecting. Avoid the tiramisu it's not great. Instead get the Italian cream cake -- holy cow that was amazing. Service is how to put this good depending on the night you're there. It's all I'm guessing Brazilians flown in like most of the Dells these days who will give you an English name that clearly it's not their actual name but it's the Dells what are you gonna do ? We didn't try any drinks. Water was fine for us and our waters were always full. The breadsticks were good and refilled on demand. Ambience is Italian restaurant with kind of cheesy paintings on the walls of Italian vistas and courtyards and all that. it's definitely a nicer sit down style restaurant but because it's the Dells, there are people in sweatpants in the winter and barely covered up swimsuits when it's summer. Our party of 5 had a nice dinner for about $100 plus tip -- including two desserts.

Looking for tasty Italian food in the Wisconsin Dells area?? Look no further than Sarento's! This Italian restaurant serves spectacular plates with fresh ingredients and homemade noodles. To start the meal, the table is served warm breadsticks with olive oil, Parmesan, and cracked pepper. We ordered a variety of items. Table highlights include: the roasted chicken entree with potatoes & broccolini, the pasta bolognese, and the homemade stacked lasagna. Other entrees ordered include a chicken Alfredo dish, pasta with meatballs, and a pasta with vodka sauce. Each entree started with a fresh side salad as well. The entire meal was delicious and the service was great. Sarento's is an ideal spot for a date night or nice meal with family/friends. I'd highly recommend visiting Sarento's in the Wisconsin Dells!

My Alfredo with papardelle

I'm surprised by the lower reviews of Sarento's and glad I still went anyway! Last weekend, my husband and I decided to give it a go! The warm breadsticks with Parmesan and olive oil to dip were delicious! I loved that they had a generous portion of freshly grated Parmesan at the table as well. We each opted to upgrade to a different salad. My husband's Caesar was good and had lots of parm and a crunchy Parmesan chip. My caprese when burrata was incredible! Next, my husband tried the bolognese with pappardelle. He loved it. I opted to go with Alfredo but they happily allowed me to get pappardelle too. It was so good! My husband said it may have even been better than his! Finally, for dinner, we split a tiramisu. I'm not usually a fan but it was light and flavorful and we agreed we should have brought one to go! Service was good and it had nice Italian ambiance! Can't wait to visit again! Tip: there was a coupon for 10% off in one of those booklets at our hotel lobby so that was a nice little saving!

Let me start this off by saying I brought my 2 year old on a Wednesday night during the slow season. The atmosphere was nice and we sat by a fire place. We had no reservation and we got a table in a few minutes, around 7. Our food was excellent. My kids' pizza was great, she ate so much of it which is unlike her. My braised beef papardelle was amazing paired with a nice red. The prices were great, although I am used to Chicago a suburb pricing. Our server was patient and very accommodating to my toddler, and she had great recommendations. All in all this was an amazing experience and I highly recommend coming here. Whoever said this is like an Olive Garden wasn't entirely accurate.

New England Clam Chowder at Sarento's - Wisconsin Dells WI

First visit, it was nice. Enjoyed a Brandy Old Fashioned at the bar along with Garlic Cheese Bread and a bowl of New England Clam Chowder. All the servers at the bar were courteous and attentive. Enjoyed our 1st visit to Sarento's

Inside

The restaurant was decorated nicely. Gave me an "Olive Garden" feel. They had breadsticks, Parmesan cheese, and oil which was okay. The meatball appetizer was honestly the best dish. The lasagna was good and a decent size, but the short rib pappardelle honestly was not worth the price. I've had better for cheaper. All the servers were nice and polite. Overall it was okay.

I really enjoy the pizza specifically. But, on today's visit I noticed something very disappointing- they are not calculating tip suggestions correctly and I don't know if this is new or I never noticed it before. The universal standard is to calculate tips on the pre-tax amount, as you don't tip on government taxes. However, some businesses, which appear to include MooseJaw, are dong the unethical practice of calculating the tip amount on the after-tax total amount in an attempt to squeeze a little more money out. In fairness, we are not talking about a lot of money here, but it's sneaky and wrong for someone who already plans to tip a generous 20% for example which is what I typically do, and they are actually tipping even more. I really hope they change this deceptive practice. And adding in the fine print that you are doing this doesn't make it okay as people don't read this. When they see a tip suggestion, they trust it's accurate. Food and service are amazing, but this unethical practice should stop.

Just be ready to squeeze in The decor is the first thing you notice. The walls and ceiling are practically plastered with local apparel, and for whatever reason, there's a heavy monkey theme going on with all the gear. It gives the place a great, unpretentious, classic Wisconsin dive bar vibe. The menu keeps it simple: standard, no-nonsense bar food. We're talking burgers, baskets, and fried sides. Service was surprisingly snappy given that it was shoulder-to-shoulder at the bar. If you want a quiet, intimate dinner, this isn't it. But if you want cold drinks, killer curds, and a vibrant crowd, it's easily a solid four-star stop on the strip. I'd definitely grab a beer here again. the burgers claimed that they were world famous but topping your burgers is a little strange, they charge 25 cents for tomatoes and lettuce
