Sarento's Italian Pizzeria

Located around the corner from the main wilderness resort, this is a convenient location. They actually have a shuttle from the Wilderness but it was only a 3 min walk from the resort. The ambience is nice, beautiful murals on the walls and easy listening Italian music playing. The menu is pretty big and there are lots of options. The entrees come with a side salad, which is nice, although the ranch dressing was a bit off; it was very thick and tasted like mayonnaise. I ordered the short rib pappardelle; the flavor was good and the short rib was tender. However this wasn't pappardelle, more like lasagna noodles, although they did taste homemade. I also didn't like that the short rib had tons of frizzle on it and glob of ricotta was not necessary.

I'm surprised by the lower reviews of Sarento's and glad I still went anyway! Last weekend, my husband and I decided to give it a go! The warm breadsticks with Parmesan and olive oil to dip were delicious! I loved that they had a generous portion of freshly grated Parmesan at the table as well. We each opted to upgrade to a different salad. My husband's Caesar was good and had lots of parm and a crunchy Parmesan chip. My caprese when burrata was incredible! Next, my husband tried the bolognese with pappardelle. He loved it. I opted to go with Alfredo but they happily allowed me to get pappardelle too. It was so good! My husband said it may have even been better than his! Finally, for dinner, we split a tiramisu. I'm not usually a fan but it was light and flavorful and we agreed we should have brought one to go! Service was good and it had nice Italian ambiance! Can't wait to visit again! Tip: there was a coupon for 10% off in one of those booklets at our hotel lobby so that was a nice little saving!

Looking for tasty Italian food in the Wisconsin Dells area?? Look no further than Sarento's! This Italian restaurant serves spectacular plates with fresh ingredients and homemade noodles. To start the meal, the table is served warm breadsticks with olive oil, Parmesan, and cracked pepper. We ordered a variety of items. Table highlights include: the roasted chicken entree with potatoes broccolini, the pasta bolognese, and the homemade stacked lasagna. Other entrees ordered include a chicken Alfredo dish, pasta with meatballs, and a pasta with vodka sauce. Each entree started with a fresh side salad as well. The entire meal was delicious and the service was great. Sarento's is an ideal spot for a date night or nice meal with family/friends. I'd highly recommend visiting Sarento's in the Wisconsin Dells!

When we first arrived at Sarento's we were told we needed a reservation to be seated in the facility. Well, we did not know that a reservation was needed. We were told that the people who don't make reservations have to sit outside or wait 45 minutes to an hour for inside seating. After being outside all day, we decided to put our name on the list and wait for an inside table. Turned out, another family wanted to sit outside, so we took their reservation. We sat down we were greeted right away. Drinks appetizers were ordered. About 10 minutes later, our food was ordered. 20 minutes went by then food arrived. The food was good, the two servers did great. Not understating why we had 2 servers. They did a great job.

We were seated immediately. Our waitress was friendly and very attentive. Our food was very bland. The onion soup had no flavor. Wasn't horrible, just wasn't great either.
