"It's not about how much time you spend together, but the quality of the moments you share." Our first time dining here was absolutely amazing, from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Their stuffed mushrooms and lamb dish was tasty and juicy. Calimari was absolutely delightful. Professional service and high quality food and drinks. I highly recommend IL Mito Cafe, you won’t be disappointed!.

Wife and I wanted to take the kids to experience a nice dinner. Not Olive Garden, not Chili's, not Applebee's. But a place that exhibited ambiance, a menu to explore and new experiences. The 2 kids (12 and 17) had never been here before but we had. Our time was EXCELLENT. We made them try our favorite appetizer (the risotto balls). The server is always so kind and attentive and really gives authenticity to the experience. Fresh bread and olive oil. My wife had the mushroom tortellini, my daughter and I had the lasagna (the best I have ever had) and my son went with one of their pizzas. We finished by sharing a Creme Brûlée (again, our children are not adventurous but they all tried and loved it). This will be one of our very top "Go To" places. Grateful they are there.

Yum! My friend recommended this place and based on the reviews and pictures I was excited to try! We had made a reservation, though when we arrived around 5:30 on a Saturday night, there were a good amount of tables available. By time we left there was a line at the door.

The restaurant is intimate feeling and the low light created the perfect cozy feeling. There are good variety of table sizes for all types of groups, and outdoor seating for those warmer days and nights.

Looking around as we were deciding on what to order, everything that was being delivered to tables around us, looked delicious! I ordered the Tortelloni Della campagna, an amazing mushroom filled pasta dish. Everything was so good and the perfect serving size. There are plenty of options of wine to go with your pasta dish. I am excited to come back and try more!

We had a nice dinner here. The patio was wonderful on a summer evening. We had a reservation for Friday night, but I think we could have walked in without a wait as a party of 2.

Service was good. Water was refilled and the wait staff asked if we needed refills on our other beverages. They were very accommodating as we took a little extra time reviewing the menu. They also seamlessly split a salad we decided to share.

The food was decent, but not as well executed as I would like. The table bread were quartered ciabatta with a garlic infused olive oil. It was delicious, but not for the faint of heart. The short rib was tasty, but a little dry. The osso buco was decent but dry. Both of those dishes should be braised for maximum flavor, tenderness and moisture. I felt like both dishes were probably roasted and then finished with their respective sauces. I could be wrong, but it didn’t seem like the flavor had penetrated past the surface. The risotto side was unexceptional, but the mashed potatoes were good.

Overall, I think this was a 3.5 experience for me. The pricing was fair for downtown Delafield in my opinion…$85 for two drinks, a salad and two entrees…plus tip.

This cute little restaurant was within walking minutes of out hotel. We came at around 5pm on Saturday and it wasn't busy. Made it more cozy. Appetizer was the stuffed mushrooms. What i received was not what i was expected but the best stuffed mushrooms I've ever had.
Ordered the ravioli and I was shocked to only receive 4. It was beautifully complemented with chicken and spinach. I assure you I did not leave hungry, it was the perfect portion and delicious.
Dessert was smooth and perfectly sweet. Too many restaurants add way to much to the dishes like caramel and chocolate. They used berries for a perfect touch. It was perfect end to wonderful night of food.
Only thing that made my evening damp was the waiter. He was pleasant and efficient. But he spent very long amounts of time with other tables and very attentive to their needs. I wish I would've been able to hear more about the desserts and foods like the other tables did. Again, he was not a bad waiter, I just wished I would've gotten the same 5 start experience he gave the other tables. I would definitely come here again!

Went there for happy hour on a Monday evening. The place is absolutely charming & inviting & beautifully decorated. Our server is the owners brother-in-law & shared the history of the restaurant. The service was impeccable, the red wine blend was DELICIOUS & we’re very fussy wine drinkers. The egg plant appetizer, the bruschetta, the shrimp salad & chocolate cake are also outstanding! Highly recommend! We will be making this our happy hour meeting place.

Ordered carry out- ordered a caesar salad with extra chicken. Chicken came as one big slab of meat on the salad, clearly was previously frozen. Lettuce was dirty and mushy. Ate two bites. Had a side of fries that were mediocre. Would not order here again. Very disappointing
