An awesome, old school, simple, and cozy little Italian restaurant.

Excellent local Italian restaurant. Small romantic location. One of the best Italian places in town. Excellent Caesar Salad, Baked Lasagna with Spicy Sausage, and Tiramisu.

Love this restaurant – cozy atmosphere and delicious, fresh pasta and sauces. The lasagna is definitely worth the wait (around half an hour). If you manage to save some room, I highly recommend the bread pudding.

Had dinner with two others. Service was good and attentive. Calamari appetizer was different (not breaded, and served in a slightly spicy tomato sauce). Entree’s were generous, pasta cooked perfectly and ingredients fresh and continued the theme of a slight twist on old favorites (my spaghetti and sausage had fresh mozzarella added). House wine was very nice. Desert, a chocolate cheese cake variant, was very tasty and the portion was generous enough for three to share. I think this is one of the better Italian restaurants in the Madison area, and it compares well to the ones I have visited in Milwaukee. However, I do think it is a little on the pricey side for some menu items, and you should know that (at least from what I have tried) they do add a bit of a culinary twist on some of the standard Italian items (which I personally like, but may surprise those with a view based mostly on chain Italian). I have eaten here many times and never been dissatisfied. And while all meals have been good, I have had some that were truly excellent (a wild boar and pasta preparation). I recommend it to friend’s, and the ambiance, makes it a nice setting for an imitate meal, particularity during the week when its quieter. Would give it 4.5 if that were an option.

This place is wonderful! All of our meals turned out amazing, and the bruchetta was great. The waitstaff was very knowledgeable and never let a glass get empty. The owner (I think) even heard a spoon fall of the table and had the waitress bring another set. And the bread pudding is to die for! Will definitely be coming back.

When we got there there was only two other tables the waitress was very good we were told the specials but not the prices. All in all it was an okay but it wasn’t worth $100 we had the special that was the lasagna, that was 18 and the seafood ravioli which was about 30 no salads came with the meal the lasagna was burned the raviolis were cool not hot and tasted very fishy. We ordered the bruschetta which was so hard we couldn’t chew it and in the end we would not go back again for spending $100 that was with two drinks and a appetizer and two entrees. Also my visa gift card I was told did not work. Went to another establishment and it worked fine.

Really good Italian in a spot you may miss if you aren’t looking for it. Smaller wine list than some Italian restaurants but the choices didn’t disappoint. Very busy on Saturday night when we came in but staff was attentive and got us a table close to our reservation time. Wife ordered the ravioli special which was excellent.

We enjoyed an excellent wife’s birthday celebration centered on the special ravioii and special lasagna for the evening, following calamari and mixed-green salad starters, and concluding with the tiramisu and near-famous Vin Santo bread pudding for dessert. As always, the food was well prepared, the service was prompt and cordial, and the atmosphere was very comfortable.

Great lasagna and great specials. We always take grandparents here because they can get their standard meals while everyone else can try something new to the menu or a special. The bread pudding and tiramisu are far and away the best desserts in Madison. Just come hungry because each dessert is portioned for multiple people.

Enjoyed our anniversary dining at this cozy restaurant. With all the Italian restaurants in the Madison area, Vin Santo really is a wonderful spot.
