Caterina's Ristorante has the most authentic pasta I have had outside of Italy. The carbonara is made tableside and the portions are generous. Great wine list too. Milwaukee is lucky to have this place.

Ordered the lasagna and tiramisu at Caterina's Ristorante and both were outstanding. The sauce is housemade and you can taste the difference. Cozy atmosphere, great for date night.

I have been to a lot of Italian places in Milwaukee and Caterina's Ristorante is at the top. Fresh ingredients, perfect al dente pasta, and the bread service is complimentary. Highly recommend.

The wood-fired pizza at Caterina's Ristorante is worth the drive. Thin crust, quality toppings, and the bruschetta appetizer is a must-order. Service was attentive and friendly.

Family dinner at Caterina's Ristorante was a hit. Kids loved the pizza, adults loved the house Chianti. Prices are fair for the quality. Will be our new Italian spot in Milwaukee.

Decent Italian food at Caterina's Ristorante. The penne arrabbiata had a nice kick and the cannoli was fresh. A bit noisy on weekends but the food makes up for it.

Stumbled upon Caterina's Ristorante and so glad we did. The owners are from Naples and it shows in every dish. Authentic ingredients, reasonable prices for Milwaukee.
