Best Family Style Restaurants in Madison

Everyone from the person at the welcome desk to the waitress to the manager (he stopped at the table to shave the truffles and asked how our experience was on the way out) was lovely. The food was excellent. Loved the cheese “ball” and the gnocchi. The pizza dough was perfect. Hadn’t been back in years but will put on my rotation list again!

2nd time at Pelato and another great experience. Service is fast and everyone is lovely. Food itself if truly great. Have yet to have a dish I haven’t liked. They recommend 3-4 plates per person. Some dishes are on the heavier side so I would order on the smaller side (3 per) and add from there. Have to admit I thought getting the broccolini would be a mistake but it might be my second favorite dish. Nothing beats their vodka sauce. And as a New Jersey transplant I’ve eaten a lot of vodka sauce.

Amazing food and even better service! Jed was phenomenal at speaking to the menu and the love put into every dish or drink. One of our favorite meals and dining experiences.

Always a great experience dining here. The food and drinks were excellent and the service as well as the overall aesthetic/atmosphere were fantastic!
