IL MITO Trattoria e Enoteca - Italian restaurant in Wauwatosa - 6913 W North Ave, USA

I have come a few times. Always have had good service and great food. My most recent visit we did the cooking class. Which was a blast! Highly recommend if you can get a group! Parking can be a little obnoxious but usually a side street will have space!

This is my favorite Italian restaurant in the Milwaukee area. The food is outstanding. We ordered Bruschetta. I don't like tomatoes but I loved this dish. For dinner I had Scallopini with Spinach and Angel Hair pasta. It was cooked to perfection, the spinach was probably the best I ever had. The service was very good, but a little over the top. The server was great, but the hostess came over constantly to the point of being annoying. The atmosphere is nice, nothing too special other than the party / cooking class room, which is great. There was something that sounded like a cell phone ringing numerous times by the desk was loud and bothersome. I will definitely go here again. And again.

Amazing Italian restaurant! Great service, excellent Italian food. Olive oil with roasted garlic brought to the table with warm bread. Ordered Bruschetta, Carpaccio for appetizers, words can not explain how good it was. Ordered the bolognese and lasagna for the main course, mouth watering you will not be disappointed! A must get is the pear puff pastry served with homemade whipped cream with a half of a fresh strawberry. You’ll want to be nice and share this but trust me you’ll be fighting for the last bite, order one for yourself instead.

We have been coming to IL Mito for years and have always enjoyed ourselves! But our last two visits have been phenomenal! We came here to celebrate my Mom winning an award and our waiter made the night that much more enjoyable! As usual, the food was absolutely delicious!! Highly recommend the ribeye with the pesto pasta on the side (we substituted the pesto with garlic oil & wine sauce). For salads we ordered the mixta salad but with the Ceasar dressing. Lastly, the bread that comes out complimentary with the garlic paste is great. Keep ordering it!

Very unfortunate dining experience at il mito last night. From the get-go, we waited at least ten minutes to first meet our waitress and order drinks after being seated by the hostess (it was not a busy night). After ordering a drink and an appetizer and waiting an extensive amount of time to order our entree, the restaurant lost power due to a car accident nearby. The chef came out to one specific table of what appeared to be regulars, but made no comments to the general crowd. The hostess came around to tell the customers about the accident within a few minutes of losing power. The chef then came back out and said to a nearby table, “you got your food so now you have to pay!” - really a distasteful attempt at a joke to a family who had spent hundreds of dollars to eat in the dark. At this point it had been about 20 minutes since we last saw our waitress while we finished our appetizer in the dark. She finally came to our table, briefly apologized, told us that will be all for the night, and immediately asked for my credit card so she could take a picture of it (??) to charge me later as their machines were not working. No efforts to tell us how much the bill would be, to give us any sort of receipt, or a number to call if we had any concerns. We flagged down the hostess to express our concerns and she had us write our name and number down and gave us their business card. (The hostess called me today to make sure I didn’t have any further concerns which is our one win - thanks Jennifer!). We obviously understand that the power loss is completely out of il mito’s control, but it was very poorly handled by the owner. I’m honestly a bit shocked that we were charged full price and not offered any service recovery (free drink? gift card? something to encourage us to return?) with this experience. To add to all of this, we woke up in the middle of the night with food poisoning 🥲. The only reason I gave two stars is because we have had a positive experience here, but it’s unlikely that we will return again. Takeaway: generally an unfortunate experience, but could have been handled much better by the staff. The owner seems to refuse to take any accountability for the circumstances which is evident in his defensiveness that night, ie his concerns about making sure he gets paid rather than apologizing and ensuring his customers felt taken care of and appreciated.

Nice Italian restaurant in downtown Tosa. We were able to grab a reservation to ensure we had our table on time and were seated right away. The staff was fast and efficient and took great care of us. I got the lasagna which was very very cheese forward. Unfortunately I did not care for this. I like lasagna where the meat flavor is more prominent and the cheese is baked. My wife got the short ribs with mashed potatoes which were better in my opinion. I’d definitely come back to try something else though.

Catered our wedding and the food was delicious! Many friends and family came up complimenting the food! The appetizers were perfect; was great having server's walking around with them. The best was the beef short ribs; just melted when you ate it! Everything again was delicious! Chef Michael Feker made us feel like family! He goes above and beyond what's expected making everything feel perfect! My new wife and I will being making IL MITO Trattoria a usual night out for dinner! 100% recommend the catering service you won't be disappointed!

Even though we were unable to go out, my husband and I enjoyed a fabulous dinner at home. The food was fantastic. The calamari was fresh. Just like being at the restaurant. Nice job! Totally exceeded our expectations. Love this restaurant and chef.
