Coming from Chicago--where we have no shortage of…read moreincredible Italian restaurants--I was genuinely impressed by the quality of everything we tasted tonight. The stuffed mushrooms were outstanding--perfectly seasoned, rich, and easily one of the best appetizers I've had in a long time. The chicken Parmesan was just as impressive--crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service was top-notch. You can tell they really care about the experience from start to finish. Highly recommend this spot--definitely a place I'll be coming back to.

My husband and I just finished our second dinner here and once again sat there wondering how this level of food is casually happening in our small town. Start with the whipped ricotta (sweet-sour cherry jam, pistachios, mint, warm filone bread). It's the kind of dish that makes the whole table go silent except for the occasional "wow! The stuffed mushrooms with house-made giardiniera (served in a little old-school paper cup) are ridiculous. Then the meatballs. Listen carefully: these are the best meatballs we have ever had. Ever. Tender, moisty as hell, clearly packed with Parmesan or some kind of Italian wizardry. Absolutely absurd. Entrées like the Americano Bianco, chicken vodka parmesan, and the deeply comforting spaghetti alla vodka (find meatballs in this one) all deliver. We still haven't managed to catch the lasagna bolognese because it sells out every night -- apparently you need to arrive before about 6:30 if you want a fighting chance. And dessert? The banana pudding tiramisu is borderline illegal. Bonus detail: the playlist is also tippy tops -- banger after banger that has you swaying in your seat and singing along between bites. La Crosse: PLEASE support this place. Restaurants this creative and special do not show up in small towns very often. If we somehow lose this gem because people stuck with chain restaurants... I will take it personally.

I didn't open the rooms with closed doors, as it seemed there were a couple of guests staying there, which is cool! This place has the look and feel of history, and we enjoyed seeing the antique furniture, framed portraits, and layout of the rooms. The lower level of the building has a beautiful wooden bar and two spacious dining rooms. I hope I get a chance to dine here in the future, and maybe stay here during cooler temperatures.

As a visitor in this area, I looked for something that the locals thought was good. Tom Sawyer's…read morename came up so I gave it a shot. It's a reasonably sized bar/eatery with multiple eating areas, it has an outdoor patio and sits next to a marina. While the menu is very broad and offered a wide range of items seafood was what I was in the mood for and that's what I got. I decided on two pieces of halibut, one pan-fried and the other battered and fried. It came with a nice salad, mixed vegetables, and I opted for a baked potato with sour cream and butter. The salad was generously sized and I went with raspberry vinaigrette dressing. The vegetables were okay, nothing exceptional but nicely done. The baked potato was nicely sized, properly cooked, and with the addition of sour cream and butter was very good. The fish, ah the fish, flakey, exceptionally tasty, nicely sized, and delicious! They were so well seasoned and tasty, that even though tartar sauce and lemon was available I opted to not to use it with either piece. I don't know if I'll have the fish again the next time I come here, but I'm sure that whatever I go with on the menu will be equally good.
