Osteria Papavero

We enjoyed Day 4 of Restaurant Week sitting at a high stool at the window. Food, wine 🍷, service by Stew were all excellent

Very nice place. Across the street from the theater. Beef tartare was Amazing. Yummy sauce and served by Mitchell who was wonderful!!

Great food. The cured meats are made in house, and wow, what huge portions! The cured meats were just slightly too salty, but I will take more salty and homemade over something not so fresh. Great service and will go back again!

Went to Madison to a couple wine shops and they recommended it here for dinner.

In Dubuque we have no good Italian spot so we were thrilled to check it out

We were 💯 satisfied with this choice. Sat at the bar and the bartender was excellent. Drinks were fantastic and good was top notch.

Highly highly recommend.

Great spot for Italian food up near the Capitol building in Madison. We had the Cambogiano sandwich and the Three Piggies sandwich. They were both excellent and we will definitely be back to try more items. Service was very friendly and attentive. Note there is a parking garage to the left of the restaurant about a block down with inexpensive parking.

Great service and excellent food served in a relaxed and cozy atmosphere. We asked for a full body Merlot and the waitstaff made the perfect choice. A basket of bread is served before the meal, with a flat bread that is deep fried in pork fat, very delicious. The menu itself changes regularly and always has delicious and interesting options. Delicious desserts!! We are looking forward to going on a warm summer evening when one wall opens up via a garage door mechanism.

One the best spots to go in Madison if you’re looking for authentic Italian food! Every week they feature unique new items, some I have never heard of or tried until coming here. They really give you a great experience, staff is so nice and super knowledgeable about the menu. If you come here you have to try any of their pastas because they are all so good, and save room for their Budino!!
