Il Ritrovo

I love this place! It is a favorite pick when going out with my boyfriend's sisters. It's a cute place, casual, always hoppin'! In the summer we sit outside; inside is cozy.There is something for everyone on the menu. But first... WINE! They have my favorite Montepulciano D'Abruzzo. The pizzas are great as well as the salads. My go to pasta is the Rigatoni Con Salsiccia E Gorgonzola. There is so much food, sometimes my man and I split a salad and pasta. You always have to leave room for dessert!The last few times, we have had the same server. She couldn't be more pleasant AND positive. I wish more people were like her! (And I wish I could remember her name...)Anyway, we will definitely be back the next time we are in the area.

As other reviewers have commented, the quality of food at this restaurant was top notch before the pandemic but apparently declined when it first reopened after the pandemic. We dined at Il Ritrovo for the 4th time recently and had a memorable experience that far exceeded the previous visits. The two dishes that we shared for lunch were Con Tono (tuna sandwich) and Pesce del Giorno - Seabass Special. The tuna sandwich had a wide spectrum of flavorful ingredients (tuna, pickled vegetables, cherry tomatoes, and spicy mayonnaise) that made each bite a delightful party in my mouth. The Seabass Special was cooked perfectly with the skin on both sides crispy and the meat inside moist and flavorful, and the tomato sauce on top adds some sweet and sour tastes that further enhanced the flavor of the fish. The dish also came with sauteed spinach and cannellini beans on the side. The spinach was tender and fresh and probably cooked in high heat for a very short time, as it was crispy but not mushy or chewy. The cannellini beans were cooked just right in a flavorful sauce with tomatoes and flavorings. The Italian bread that we were served was clearly freshly baked round lunch time that day and tasted very good.There were a lot of customers that day, and the servers were very busy but still attentive. Our server gave us the tuna sandwich first to make sure that we could start enjoying it fresh and told us that the fish would be ready in a couple of minutes, even updating us about it 30 seconds before it was ready.The restaurant had evidently made other improvements since our last visit in May 2023. The menu seemed substantially different, adding multiple panini and pasta dishes and also serving main course dishes that were not available for lunch in the past. I now feel no hesitation in calling it one of the best restaurants in Wisconsin.

Loved my visit here. Was seated quickly. My server was VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE of all specials and was able to answer detailed questions. Started a minestrone and it was the best I ever had. Moved on to the caprese salad made with heirloom tomatoes. The sweetest juiciest tomatoes. Omg. Buffalo mozzarella was extra creamy. Ended w arancini. The smoked mozzarella combines with the thin crisp of the breading was life changing. This place is a class act. Foodies, do not miss out on this gem!

Honestly it's just okay. The owner is very pretentious and yes it is AUTHENTIC pizza. The menu is nice and broad, the food is tasty, the ambience is Wisconsin nice. A good date spot. But it's pricey, the wait is kind of long to get a table on the weekend and then again to get the food is a little over hyped. I'd rather go to Uptown Slice, but that's a personal preference!

Was impressed. Food quality delicious and cooked perfectly. Service was quick and efficient. Server knew his menu well. Seating indoor and outdoor. Multiple booths. Not modern, but classic.Street parking so might be hard to find parking when busy.Again, impressed with this place and we will be back to try more foods. Pasta was cooked well. Pizza oven baked!Happy eating!

I would be hard pressed to think of a better pizza that I've had than Il Ritrovo. Some may be close (Lovely's Fifty Fifty in Portland or Settebello in Salt Lake City), but not better. If you're a fan of grocery store or bar pizza, this may either amaze you or not be for you. The fresh ingredients and exemplary service are by themselves worth the visit. Strongly recommend.

Love watching this place grow in popularity and both of their stores along-side expand! This restaurant is our go-to when in the area and we never leave without stocking up on delicious ingredients next door. The Fonduta Al Forno is still our favorite appetizer, and we never leave without trying a specialty pizza or pasta. The service and staff are always accommodating and nice with how busy they've gotten. They are dog friendly (outside!) and provide an original, authentic Italian experience nestled in sweet Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

Showed up at 9:25 to get a drink to celebrate new years and was told we're closed by the bartender. She was very rude. Very disappointed because we love going there. The lady with blonde/brown hair is a certified you know what.

Love their specials and pizza. They always have our favorite wine called Bucci. All the meals are fresh and authentic. Salads are good also. Servers are friendly and knowledgeable about the food. It really is our special place to go.

Must visit! This is a pizza destination with one of the great domed wood ovens. The pizza was delicious and a little spicy with Calabrese. Amazing crust. Also paired with a surprisingly delicious NA Pilsner from Italian Art.
