Pizzas are awesome! We order pizza from Tenutas any time we have people over for a ufc pay per view. The food always gets here fast and hot and if there’s an issue we receive a call from the restaurant and it’s always resolved. The Margherita pizza is a must! Even the plain sausage pizza is phenomenal, you can’t go wrong with their za!

The food was cooked just right, not too soft and not too hard. Service was excellent. Will return and definitely can recommend.

If I could give ZERO STARS I WOULD! COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL STAFF! My order was incorrect. When I called the lady that took my order put me on hold for 10 MINUTES to come back and tell me that "the cook says he made it right" ARE. YOU. SEROUS??!!! WITH THE ABUNDANCE of Italian eateries you would THINK that you would treat customers better. Then the lady told me that I need to send her a picture of the food and refused to give me her name. DO NOT EAT HERE.. TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE

We’ve always been satisfied with the food from Tenuta’s. Sadly, like so many restaurants and fast food places that have been challenged during the pandemic, they are no exception. This last time we ordered for carry out, it was not good. The cold food was plopped on top of the hot food into one bag instead of two separate bags for hot and cold. Some food from the order was missing. One meal was burned on the top. Another entree was bland and had no taste. The front counter young ladies who answer the phone and work the register were unfriendly and seemed overwhelmed. The restaurant seems understaffed

We just moved to the area, and were looking for our new "Regular" spots for various cuisine. For pizza, we decided to try a couple chains nearby and it was ok. Then we tried Tenuta's and I think we have found our new local pizza spot! I know they have other italian food also, which we plan to try, but rating solely on the pizza and breadsticks these guys get 2 thumbs up. Delivery was a little late, but that is not enough to sway my 5 star rating. Will definitely order from Tenuta's again.

Nice atmosphere! It was our first time visiting do we used my Daughters phone for directions. As it was about to take us in a second circle around several city blocks, I turned into a small shopping center. There is a Marshall's viable from the street and once inside the small group of stores you'll see Tenutas! Well worth the search!
They have the best mushrooms I've ever had! An appetizer you could make a meal of. I had the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. Then I had the other half for dinner! Hugh and tasty! My Daughter had a small pizza that could easily pass for a medium anywhere else! She loved

Absolutely delicious! I stopped going to "OG" because the food had lost its taste and portions had downsized a lot. Decided to try Tenuta's and glad I did! Sauce was superb! Delicious!! Tried the combo dinner for 2 and have enough for 2 more meals! I live on the North side and delivery was quick and food was hot when arrived. Highly recommend!

First time getting takeout at this location. Purchased the 16 piece family style chicken and a small virgin crust sausage and pepperoni pizza. The pizza was fantastic. The chicken was undercooked soggy and the Italian potatoes were undercooked and hard. After I warmed the chicken and potatoes up in the oven at 475 for a while everything tasted great.

Food is hit and miss at the Paddock Lake location. If they screw up your order the manager there will blame you and say things like "you ordered wrong" or "what do you want me to do about it" this woman should never have a job where she might have to talk to a customer! I've heard great things about the Kenosha location but I know many people who will never go back to the Paddock Lake location!

My wife & I love this place. It's a great Italian restaurant with a smaller dining area, a bar and takeout, but their pasta dinners more than make up for their size. Their italian bread was warm from the oven & tasted great with their salad. My wife had the veal Parm which was a good size of breaded sliced veal over a bed of spaghetti. I had a chicken parm which was over spaghetti and covered with plenty of mozzarella. Their garlic bread was delicious.The portions were great for the price both in size & quality. Our waitress was perfect timing our food just right. We will definitely

Pretty quiet dinner spot as you walk toward a counter and they immediately ask if I was picking something up. Basic interior with little personality.
Beer list is basically domestic with a little local sprinkled in, booze list was even smaller.
Food disappointed...side salad was iceberg with a few tomato slices, the bread was dry slices of sadness. But the cheese ravioli was perfect but it was drowned in an extremely bland red sauce. Seriously, the pasta and cheese couldn't have more on point. But order it with the sauce on the side. Such a shame to need to fish for pasta made so wonderfully

So good. Had to eat some feelings today so ordered a nice bit of good to munch on now and later. Got the Philly cheese steak with onion rings and the bruschetta bread togo from grubhub. They gave some au jus w the cheese steak which was perfect, the onion rings were perfectly fried and still crispy (fried food is tricky with delivery bc the steam in the togo container can make the breading soggy).
The bruschetta bread is real good, also. The tomato mixture is great and balsamic-y and the bread is tasty. Will definitely order again. Props to the cook who prepared my order.... On point!!!

We ordered for deliver. Haven't ordered from here in over 2 years, due to the distance we live from them. They had great food here. We ordered a bunch of food wings, ribs, calimari, meatball sub. Meatball sub didn't taste right, made my sister sick, onion rings that came with it were real oily, ribs seemed to be over boiled in water then poured bbq sauce on top and served, calimari was a bit dry. The wings had no flavor unless you dipped in to hot sauce. Nope was not worth 80 bucks!........... Oh and they forgot half the order after we waited an hour...we understand the wait but to forget

Recently moved to Kenosha from San Diego been trying to find a good pizza place after about visiting about five others and feeling disappointed I finally found a diamond in the ruff. Pizza was Amazing staff was super cool yet professional and place was very clean. In addition to all that they had some amazing deals on there food and drinks. Simply put do your self a favor and eat here you won't be disappointed. Chicken Alfredo Pizza was definitely yummy.

Wow talk about a let down. After hearing for years from peeps that live north of the cheddar curtain we decided to give it a shot. Wish I didnt. Lets hit what was good. The waitress staff was pleasant and helpful. The apps were half price. You do get more than usual servings of ranch or marinara with the apps. Then the wheels fell off. Hard! I got chicken parm. Its how I judge an Italian joint on my first visit, if they cant do that right no need for a second visit. Soooooo no second visit here. The chicken over cooked to the point of being chicken jerky. The pasta must have been afraid

Always a comfortable place for a night out, not as many options as other Italian restraints but what they have is good for a once in a while visitor, sometimes we come here it's a little to cold and no classics music playing which a little weird, the place looks nice and the food is good, I recommend.

Customer service rant:
I'm a person that it takes a lot to make angry. I've had it with businesses that do not cherish customer service. We are talking of Tenuta's pizzeria. Ever since they had the fire, their quality of food has changed to mediocre.

They were always our number one top pizzeria to order from. Coming from Chicago, they were the closest in Kenosha. I have asked for Parmesan cheese cups and they were being rude, putting a limit on the quantity I could have. I said that wasn't fair. They gave me what I wanted. There were other incidences of attitude and irritability

Just had 2 Chicken Parmesan dinners delivered and to say I was completely disappointed would be an understatement. Chicken was bland with no breading or seasoning, and was tough and rubbery. Sauce was uninspired, and the pasta was over cooked. The salad fresh and garlic bread was tasty though
Very disappointing from an Italian name as big as this in Kenosha. If I could give less stars, I would.

Amazing pizza.
We ordered a large pan pizza. It was around $24 delivered and fed 4 people.

I think its way better than the pizza places in Kenosha.
