It was very spacious I like how it was decorated. I was there in their Lowe level hall room. Very nice and affordable.

We decided to stop at this establishment because it was a family owned option. Finding the driveway from the opposite side of the road was a bit tricky. This restaurant has vast space for seating and a large menu to match. It offers many American and Italian meal options. The atmosphere was classic dinner club dining with warm jazz music. The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was served warm with a very minimal wait. The portion sizes were large and reasonably priced. This restaurant is perfect for family meals and seems to be group outing friendly. Two meals were

This is my first time posting . I was looking forward to trying out this supper club . Thinking it's been around for some time. My first impression entering old time 90's decor, white linen table clothes,dim lit lighting , pleasantly decorated for Christmas season, and easy listening music. Maybe 4 other tables dining . We told our server it was our first time there and mentioned we were celebrating a birthday . The menu selection was rather small .I ordered 6 oz filet and 4 grilled shrimp ,with parlsy red potato( server recommended) and French onion soup. Husband had half rack ribs

Celebrated my father's life.
Tables, food were all ready. Staff and food were excellent.
I'm sure my father was looking on with much enjoyment.

My husband ate there last week and was sick with food poisoning within 3 hours! Not sure if it was bad shrimp or the cocktail sauce, but it took 3 barfs to rid himself of the lousy meal.

Thanksgiving dinner was good. I had the stuffed Cornish hen. It was great. A bit expensive though. Service was fair.

I have been craving fried fish fry and because of my gluten allergy I wasn't able to find a place till now. It was a lil bit of a drive but we'll worth it.

Their customer service is top notch! The food was like a home cooked dinner, delicious! We are not from this area, but we will definitely be coming back if we travel back to the area! You don't get an experience like this anymore, it was a true gem :)

I've been eating here for over 30 years. Went for a fish fry tonight to celebrate my birthday. This place has really gone down hill in my opinion. Fish was nothing special, didn't touch my salad, lettuce was limp and looked a week old. French onion soup here has been my favorite forever, didn't taste the same and wasn't hot. Not one person in our party of 6 finished their food. Waitress was nice but barely stopped by to check on us. Sad that this will be my last time eating here

I had chicken Parm and I really liked the chicken. Thought the sauce was a little salty but I think it was a meat sauce. Overall I would like to go back.

Best fish fry in Milwaukee. Their brandy old fashioneds are excellent. Great service, too. And convenient drop-off right at the door for those who have mobility concerns.

We came to Alioto's for a small banquet (about 50 people) after a family funeral. If you come for a restaurant meal I hope your experience might be better, but because my food at a small banquet was practically inedible I would never consider coming back -- and on that basis I can't recommend that anyone dines at Alioto's.

On the plus side -- everyone at the banquet had a choice of four entrees -- chicken parmigiana, petite filet, salmon with pasta, and pork chops with potatoes. Some of the other selections may have been good or very good but I did not taste them so I can't

For a lot of reasons I wanted to love this place while unfortunately I can't I did round up on this review. I'm sensitive to the challenges of operating during the pandemic however a Filet while flavorful should be prepared as ordered.
The pasta was ok but unremarkable for an Italian restaurant. Service was mediocre and the premises needs attention. Sadly I would have preferred Olive Garden.

I've been to Alioto's so many times now that I've lost count! We typically come for the fish fry and old fashioned's because, Wisconsin, and Alioto's do these things very well.

We usually meet in the swanky lounge because the decor and seating reminds me of a slower time when people took the time to enjoy life without having to run off to this place or that. And it's swanky. The bartenders are always busy but also, always friendly and quick to take care of you. Come here enough and they remember your drink of choice. The option to eat at the bar is nice for the days

Ehhhh at best.

Was there for a funeral dinner and the career waitresses just went through the paces and were border line rude if anyone requested anything.

Atmosphere of a low class senior center.
The high light was the bread and over chilled butter.

The entrees were decent but nothing spectacular.

The food was average portions and the salad was awful.

I think the house salad was made the week , or month before and I can't believe they would consider it edible and serve it to humans
We had ti get our own drinks from the bar where the relic bartender was less than friendly. Two people

Attended a lunch event here. It was a buffet set-up where the food was pretty decent. Lots of variety: pasta, beef tips(?), chicken parmesan, salad, tiramisu, etc.

Service was just okay. Pot of coffee looked like it was supposed to be poured for folks (in small pitcher type containers), but both of the small ones were empty. For them to have such small containers for a party of 50 and not to refill them (even after we told them they were empty) until after the buffet was open was odd.

They also started taking the buffet food away before everyone was done eating and started breaking down the tables

Came here for a thanksgiving meal with my Dad. Even though they were extremely busy, the hostess and our waitress handled the constant crowd the best that they could. Our waitress was wonderful at multitasking and we were able to order and receive our food quickly. I was going to order the traditional thanksgiving dinner, but it is always tough for me to turn down shrimp when it is an option. Shrimp can sometimes be a letdown when I order it, but I am happy to say that the grilled shrimp were absolutely delicious, and a welcomed lighter option on a day meant for gluttony. Our drinks were refilled

This was our first visit and we were expecting a "supper club" atmosphere, and it kinda is, but in a more generic style. To be fair to the servers, there was a very large group of retired golfers there the night we went. It was clear the staff was having a hard time keeping up with them, so wait times were probably long for that reason. Everyone was friendly but clearly working hard.

The menu is full of old-style items, both Italian and "regular" (steaks, chops, etc). We chose the Veal Parmigiana (a first for her) and the breaded pork chops (featured on the 'lighter fare

Usually I'm very satisfied here at Alioto's but today I am extremely disappointed and offended .I received excellent service from our server but the management this evening could not even come to the table to make sure everything was OK . I ordered a lamb chop and a double thick center cut pork chop (medium well ).I received the Lamb Chop way too rare (was bleeding onto my plate contaminating everything)!!! The pork chop was pink at the bone. My polite and seemingly hard working server was apologetic and professional. I cut into my meat.......

This restaurant has some of the best supper club style dining around, it's a great place to bring your family after a funeral because they have plenty of seating to go around. With dim lighting the ambiance of this restaurant is perfect for any somber occasion.

Over the years, we've eaten at Alito's about five or six times; the last time, five or six years ago.

On Saturday night 3/10/18, it seemed all of Tosa was busy as could be at all the usual dinner houses, so decided to give Alioto's a visit. We were surprised that it wasn't jammed and were able to be seated immediately.

Now, for those already familiar with Alioto's, you know this place is a favorite, old school, supper club"ish" restaurant favorited by 'ole timers. Safe to say, we definitely weren't the oldest ones in there Saturday night (LOL)

Just left Alioto's from another AMAZING meal! We wanted to take our kids out for a nice meal without having to cook right before Christmas. We started with mozzarella sticks (wonton wrapped which automatically = deliciousness) and Their eggplant! The best I have ever had.
Our two older boys (14 and 11) shared a 14" pizza. It's hard to please these two, but they loved it.
My husband had the chicken parm- also loved it, and I had their ribs- let me re-phrase, I had their perfectly cooked fall of the bone ribs, which I will most definitely have again!
Our 16 month old enjoyed buttered

Mr Martinez had an order screw up and was comped a fish fry which he graciously gave to our department which the three of us picked at after lunch time. It was late and we already had lunch but we picked at it, it was a freebie.

Who knows how old it was when we were given it but as take out, it was not bad at all with plump chunks of fried moist fish, irregular shaped pieces and not processed fish. Fresh bread, butter, tarter sauce and my hated crinkle frys.

Dam this take out the fish fry was moist, batter was soggy but not bad for left overs. The crinkle frys were not dry and moist and for
