Now for starters my husband and I will continue to go to Balistreri's. Mainly we like there pizza. But we don't always want pizza. The sandwiches aren't always the greatest. And today I had the beef tips with a side of pasta. Not the greatest on the menu. My suggestion is do something about your sandwich menu and I can say this I won't be having certain items on the menu again. Like the one I mentioned. Please try to improve some of the sandwich items. Lunch wasn't great today.

I'm giving 4 stars because of the history and how good it used to be. The bar and restaurant is still lovely. As always, impeccable service. BUT the pizza has lost its flare. Last two times I've ordered pizza it's been undercooked and soggy. I'll give Balistreri's one more try before I start recommending an Italian restaurant in Waukesha with dynamite thin crust.

This is a great place to go to. The food is awesome, the atmosphere is very nice, service was very prompt, Tiffany the waitress was absolutely 100% outstanding, she was very friendly, courteous, polite, and just an all-around great outgoing friendly person. She was the BEST waitress we've had in many, many years anywhere. If all waitresses were like her, it would always be a pleasure going out to dinner. Honestly, she should get waitress of the year award! Balistreri's Bluemound Inn you have an AWESOME employee there. KEEP HER!!! We will be back soon for the great food and will ask for Tiffany as our waitress. Keep up the awesome experience in dining out.
