Restaurant Reviews for Ristoranté Brissago

Ristoranté Brissago reservations Ristoranté Brissago

7036 Grand Geneva Way
Lake Geneva, WI 53147

Warm and inviting with an air of subtle sophistication, Ristoranté Brissago takes the dining experience to a new level with fresh ingredients flown in weekly from Italy. Enjoy regionally made pastas, cheeses, olive oils and desserts, as well as a wonderful selection of Italian wines. Authenticity is apparent in every aspect, our name, Ristoranté Brissago, is taken from a small town in northern Italy on Lake Maggiori. Truly authentic Italian cuisine served in a romantic setting, amid spectacular views of the Wisconsin countryside. It's the culmination of 10 years of planning, says Executive Chef Robert Fedorko. Our Bufala Mozzarella contains 100-percent Buffalo milk and arrives weekly from Campania, where they've been making the cheese for centuries. The menu invites you to sample, share and delight in something from every course. The choices - incredible. The experience - simply amazing...

"One of the best Italian meals I have eaten in my entire life. My girlfriend and I went to three of the best restaurants in the midwest over the same week we went to Brissago. I can honestly say that the best meal and the best bottle of wine we had all week was at Brissago. We will be back when ever we are in the area!!"

Review 10 for Ristoranté Brissago

Overall Rating 3.0 out of 5 (Good)
"I have been to this restaurant in the past and had an excellent experience. This last time was not so great. We were only there for an hour, spent over $120 and the second we were done eating we felt we were being pushed out. We still had our drinks and the manager was going to all the tables telling people they could take their drinks outside the retaurant. Two minutes later the waitress did the same. I could see if we were sitting around taking up a table, but there was no one waiting and we were there less than an hour. I thought that it was incredibly rude."

Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 (Outstanding)
"I decided to take the girlfriend for a night out for dinner. This was our first time visiting here and we had the best dinner we could remember. Our server Eduardo was very helpful and made some great suggestions. Eduardo recommended the Experience, a dinner made from random selections paired with the perfect wine, which we decided to order. Our 5 course meal was excellent and perfectly paired with varieties of wine. The portions were perfectly sized as to not fill up before the next course. There was a large party in the private room that became very loud during our dinner and the serving staff had closed the doors to the room for us, so we could enjoy our dinner, without our even asking! we will definitely be coming back again."

"The food and service were excellent at Ristorante Brissago. The waitress knew about everything on the menu and described it accurately. The wine list was all Italian and I did not find anything that I was comfortable ordering. The waitress was able to get a bottle from The Geneva Chophouse wine list for us. The manager visited every table to ensure that everything was perfect. It is not an inexpensive place to eat but it was worth what we paid."

"Excellent place to have dinner at --James King, the general manager is awesome, good sense of humor. Our waitress Blanca, originally from Brooklyn was great and knowlegeable.
The food was amazing from appetizers to dessert (try the pistachio ice cream). The main course was excellent, the veal shank and the sea bass rocked. Looking forward to going back there soon.

"My husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversay there. We noted on our reservation the special occasion and requested a quiet table. The table had a beautiful red rose and scattered rose petals on the white table cloth. Very romantic, and the location of the table was perfect for personal reminiscing. The waitress was professional and attentive, and the food was very good. I ordered veal and it was cooked exactly per my request, and was delicious. My husband had salmon and enjoyed it very much."

"We have been here many times and love the reatuarant, service, and the food. The pizza appetizer was outstanding, perhaps the best pizza I have had. I also ordered the short ribs, which I have had before. Last time they were terrific, this time not so good. Beef was mealy and the sauce had little flavor. I don't know what went wrong this time. But I would count that as one in a row, as the food there has always been spectacular.

As always, the service in this restaurant is top notch, everyone is freindly, and interested in ensuring their customers enjoy the dining experiece."

"Delicious food for sure. The Experience menus were not clear to understand just by reading the menu, and didn't offer value. I bought the wine pairing, and paid more for the three glasses in the Experience than I would have a la carte. That said, the food was excellent and the service did get rolling after a shaky start. The views either out the back windows or overlooking the resort lobby are very good. Great dining experience, although you're paying resort prices. Deep wine list."

"Occasion: Birthday celebration for my husband, which I had indicated on my Open Table reservation form. When we arrived, we were seated at a window table away from other dinners per my request for quiet and privacy. The host was very courteous & attentive throughout our dining experience. He took the time to see what our wine interests were and explained what he recommended. Our waitress, Elvira, was incredible. Right from Italy herself, she explained the popular/recommended items on the menu beginning with appetizers thru to the entrees. Our food was awesome! Husband had ribeye (large portion) & I had the Sea Bass. Surprised dessert completed the evening with plate decorated with Chocolate writing of Happy Birthday around the edge."

"Ristorante Brissago is an amazing find in SE Wisc. Assoc with the Grand Geneva Resort (was one of the Playboy clubs many yrs ago), most don't think of a resort as having such a high-level restarant. 6 mths ago, I hosted a week-long business conf @ the resort. We had our last eve's dinner @ Brissago. 15 of us took part in the 4-course chef's selection and the Piedmonte wine tasting. What a delight! With this great experience, I booked my husband and I to celebrate our wedding anniversary there this past Sat. eve. We also had the chef's selection and wine-tasting. No disappointments here!! Will definitely return again...and not just for a special occasion! A little spendy, but well worth-it!"

"If you're in the Lake Geneva area you must experience the superb italian cuisine at Ristorante Brissago. The food is prepared with the finest ingredients and the presentation is just delicious to look at. I had the Spaghetti con l'Aragosta Lemirandi and let me tell you it was like no spaghetti i ever had. Our waiter Edwardo came highly recommended and we were not left disappointed and neither will you. In a word i would describe it as 'exquisite'!"

Overall Rating 2.0 out of 5 (Fair)
"Disappointing at best. Four years of special dinners at Brissago have been ruined by this last experience. Despite a special request and reservations made 30 days in advance for a table near window with a view, we were seated in the middle of the room near a large noisy group. We watched as the empty table near the window we asked for was given to a walk in with no reservation. My husband asked both the server and the managers to do something for my birthday dessert at the end of the meal. The server had difficulty explaining the menu and would disappear long enough that we wondered what happened to our order. We finally gave up on dessert. The food was good when it did show up, but hardly worth $250 price tag and two hour wait. Never Again"

"we were disappointed in the service for sure. took a while to receive drinks, bread, and attention...over 30 minutes. if not for an immediate request for appetizer and salad, we would have been there for nearly 2 hours. the food was better than average, but due to the wait, we had lost some appeal. probably would try this again if the opportunity presented itself. perhaps it was our individual food server?"

"The dining experience was magnifico! Our waiter, Edwardo, was very helpful with all food and beverage suggestions (plus he was spot on with those recommendations)! The restaurant was decorated beautifully with the holiday season theme. The restaurant manager, James, paid particular attention not only to the ambiance but to the diner's satisfaction. What a fantastic place!! I look foward to dining at Ristorante Brissago again soon."

"This is a beautiful resturant, the food was ok not great. I had a 28.00 salmon which was tasteless and everything is alacarte, so expect to pay $$$$$ for that that much food. I expect fresh cracked pepper when I pay so much money, I was not even asked. the waitress was very nice and the staff was very nice, but for the prices I expect my water full all the time (i should not ask)and I expect fresh grated cheese on my pasta, did not happen."

"Very good friendly service. Interesting flavorful food. Chef made a special vegetarian pasta dish. The asparagus on the pasta was thin and crisp, penne was just right with a delicious light cream sauce. The white tablecloths were immaculate and the settings interesting. Incredible tiramisu. My two dining companions enjoyed their dishes as well. The Grand Geneva itself has been renovated, looked terribly inviting, and was bursting with visitors in a holiday mood. Live piano music in the lobby and a good time was had by all."

"It was a great experience; we had a very delicious meal between the four of us we ordered steak, sea bass shrimp and pasta; the sides were unique and delicious! The wait staff was so thoughtful! They brought out a special dessert for my son's Birthday and gave my daughter and I a rose when we left."

"Despite having reservations, we still had to wait for about 20 minutes...not because of ppor service but other patrons lingering payment of their bill. The manager recognized this and actually made an effort to encourage those parties to finish their evening at the bar, freeing up our table. The osso buco was out of this world--incredibly tender and savory. The scallops were incredible as well. Overall, a very nice, quaint dinner."

"This is our 2nd time eating at Ristorante Brissago and the food was once again oustanding. I haven't eaten at a restaurant whose food compares. The atmosphere is excellent, attention to detail is top knotch, and we appreciated the suggestions by our waitress when we wanted to try new items. The added touches for my husband's birthday made the night special with a beautiful dessert and a plate decorated with Happy Birthday in chocolate. We were told about this restaurant by our daughter and I would give it 5 stars!! I can't wait to go back."
