We stopped by Little Italy in Wisconsin for lunch and were very happy with our experience. 🇮🇹
The restaurant has a cozy, pleasant atmosphere, and the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the soup of the day, a cheese pizza, a chicken burger, and a beef burger. Everything was great, but the soup was absolutely divine! 🤤
So if you’re nearby and feeling hungry, definitely stop by this little restaurant. We were very satisfied! ❤️

I ordered the chicken Alfredo with broccoli because It has been awhile since I've had Alfredo. I paid the $3 extra for the Italian wedding soup with my entrée. I ordered the bananas foster for dessert because I couldn't pass up the opportunity! Not many restaurants have bananas fosters. I enjoyed the meal and would very much recommend dining here.
Edit: I have since tried many more dishes here. Chicken parmesean, Lasagna, ravioli and all were so good! The customer service is always great! 👍

Update : while we only eat here about once a year while we're on vacation, we have been consistently happy over the last 3 years. Everything I said before stands true. One of the things really valuable to me is that because of my hearing loss and hearing aids, conversation can be difficult in a restaurant. This place is very quiet, the background music is turned nice and low, and I was able to have a great conversation with my wife. Highly recommended. Probably the best restaurant in Portage.
Original review: For a local restaurant this is top notch. Great bread, pasta, service. Decent beer selection, I appreciate that I was able to get a red ale. Love the seafood specials. The tiramisu was excellent, among the best we've had.
