5-12-12 Excellent food and service!! I needed a place for a luncheon for my mom's 90th birthday party, and everyone at Alioto's was extremely accommodating. Initially we were told that we would have to be in the main dining room, but then I received a call that a private banquet room was available, and it was wonderful! I chose 4 entrees for our group - the filet mignon, breaded shrimp, chicken parmesan and breaded pork chops. Each entree was delicious, served piping hot and the portions were very generous. The timing of the salad and entrees was perfect, and they even cut the cake that I brought in. I wish I knew our waitress' name, because she was extremely friendly and competent, as were all of the wait staff that helped with our event. The total cost was only $16 per person, and this included salad, bread, the main entree, and choice of coffee, hot or iced tea, or milk. The $16 per person cost included tax and gratuity as well!! Everything was awesome and my mom will have very fond memories of her 90th birthday!! We have also gone there numerous times for the fish fry or just regular meals. Every time the food and service have been exceptional. The bar also serves a "blended" amaretto stone sour (my favorite drink) which is hard to find anywhere else. Outstanding in every way - Highly Recommended!!

If you are a grandson, this is where you go to eat with your grandparents. And you'll be happy, trust me.
I have been coming here for years with both sets of my grandparents. I'm down to just my 98 year old grandma now, and this is where we go about every 2-3 months.
The waitress remembers us each time, include that my grandmother is blind and won't need a menu, and that she's diabetic so will need soup right away. We are always impressed.
The food is great! It has an old-time supper club feel almost. Every time i go i get the Steak Romano which is amazing. comes with soup and a salad and a pasta side. my lord that's enough food for me to eat!
There are always banquettes going on int he other rooms, I've only been in the main dining room which is filled with Christmas lights, white table cloths and candles at each table.
I feel like I'm the youngest person by 30 years when i look around the dining room.
But to be honest, what makes this place so great for me is that i get to spend time with my 98 year old grandmother and talk to her about the many stories she has about her life. Not to mention she's a Brewers fanatic, so we spend time breaking down the season. -

I'm pretty confident I got the best service I've ever received in Milwaukee at Alioto's last night. We were originally planning on dining at Maggiano's Little Italy, but the 45 minute wait for a table was a little longer than we were willing to deal with.
We were seated immediately at Alioto's. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and somewhat telepathic...I had things before I realized I actually wanted them. Strange, but incredibly nice.
We snacked on some mozzarella logs before our meal...pretty good stuff. Our French onion soup was tasty without being overwhelming where sodium was concerned. My roommate has his 3rd martini ordered before dinner arrived, so I'm pretty sure he approved. Salads were...well...salads nothing special about them to mention.
I had the cheese ravs, which were nothing to write home about. Same can be said for the red sauce, edible but nothing special.The meatballs were something worth mentioning though...so damned good. Moist and incredibly tasty! I followed my dinner with a cup o' joe and bowl of spumoni. Both exactly what I hoped to receive.
Alioto's was an extremely pleasant experience. It's not a place you're going to bring a date to, nor is it a place to celebrate a special event. What it is though is a nice little supper club that serves a decent meal and leaves you feeling like your money was well spent. -

This seems the place to go for after funeral banquets. They do a very good job at this and I wouldn't hesitate to use their services for such an occasion.
We stopped by here for lunch recently and everyone had very good meals. Parmesan Chicken, Fried Perch, Fried Cod, Chicken Cob Salad, Fish Sandwich and two soups. All five meals with coffee came to 65.00.
The tables all have white tablecloths and crystal drinking glasses so it may look a little more formal and also old fashioned that what many people are used to. But don't let that scare you away. This restaurant has good food, good service, good atmosphere and appropriate prices. They make their own salad dressings and it shows in their dressing's excellent flavors. I didn't ask but it would surprise me if they didn't make their own soup which was of good construction and delicious.
The portion sizes were quite good. The Cob Salad was quite large. Though the perch was done very well I have had more flavorful perch in the past. -

This is yet another long-time stand-by for my husband's Italian-American family. He says he's been to the Alioto restaurant after every family funeral; their facility includes several banquet halls. But the way we use/know them is for their Friday fish fry. We've had it for take-out a couple of times, and for the money, you can't beat the amount of food they cram into the styrofoam to-go box. They include quite a few chunks of lightly battered cod and a huge portion of fries in the box, as well as a separate small container of very fresh coleslaw. It's an impressive amount of food, which, despite the fact that they don't take phone orders is worth the few minutes' wait by their front entry.

Like the previous reviewer, I have also attended receptions at Alioto's, but it's a great place for lunch. For reasons proably having something to do with Wisconsin's Friday fish fries, Milwaukee restaurants generally have good seafood slections on their menus. Three of us recently had lunch at Alioto's and two of us ordered Orange Roughy and the third had Whitefish. The portions are generous, the fish very well-prepared, and the price is reasonable. The separate bar room allows smoking which is surprising and unfortunate.
