Short Orders (Little Italy Olive Oil Co. & Capone's Grotto)

hey, everyone, yeah the restaraunt is great,and has great potential, but the managment do not have a clue on what is going on and the owners are clueless, take for example, the full menu took 7 months to come out AFTER the restaraunt opened..! the menu now is garbage compared to the one before, and the kitchen is slow it took 45 min for a pepporoni pizza and garlic bread..the wait staff however is excepitional!!! but i do not promote going here for a night out on the town..the after hours music and dj are horrible.. i highly dont recommend capones for dinner or otherwise. my recomendation to future restaraunt owners is dont hire your dj / security / maintanence/ resident ass to be your g.m... youll get screwed in the long run..

WHat a Great Idea....like a New York Bar... Thanks Capones, We will Return...viva Capones..

I found the food to be excellant tasting, expediant and hot. The service was great and timely. Very pleasant staff on hand. We were there for the Joe Scalissi (Dean Martin Impersonator) show, which was fabulous. The DJ following the show played great dance music and kept us on the floor til 2:30. I recommend this place to everyone.

I found this place while driving thru a snowstorm and I am a huge mafia fan and I had to stop in. I ordered 2 pizzas and eggplant sticks. Both were fantastic. They stick to a good sauce and the crust was delicious. It is a thin crust. I would like to see a menu show up on a website soon. But if you love mafia history, you will be in heaven.

A mysterious spokesman for Capone’s Grotto / Little Italy Olive Oil Company will be making a presentation about the new restaurant and the history of the Capone era at a meeting sponsored by the North Shore Historical Society on Thursday night February 12, 2009 at 6:30 pm at the North Shore Library located at 6800 N. Port Washington Road, Glendale Wisconsin. Capone’s Grotto/ Little Italy Olive Oil Company, a new Italian Restaurant located at 1003 to 1007 Old World Third Street in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has a charming atmosphere which combines the mystique of the gangster era of the 1930’s with the elegance of the movie stars and musicians of the 1930’s to 1960’s: “The Capone Era”. The restaurant, located in the historical ward of Milwaukee, is quite a museum. Pictures of the notorious gangsters of this era line the walls of the dining room, quotes from Al Capone are written on the walls to remind customers to “Vote early and vote often” and “I am like any other man, all I do is supply a demand”. On the bar side of the restaurant is found a tribute to musicians and movie stars such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren and other stars reminding patrons of this glorious era of Hollywood. Even Milwaukee's East Side and North Shore had a Capone era history. And the restaurant's food! Appetizers, homemade soups, salads, pizzas and variety of sandwiches, including the “Sinatra Burger” with Frank’s herb and mayonnaise dip for his french-fries and “Mikey’s Meatballs”, three Italian meatballs in sauce with homemade garlic bread are all on the menu. The food is reasonably priced and the portions served will more than satisfy your appetite. Of course, no historic Milwaukee restaurant would be complete without a famous Friday fish fry, including potato pancakes and salted rye bread. But you will have to be the judge of this fine cuisine when you visit this amazing piece of history.
