About Us

The Bartolotta Restaurants is a nationally recognized restaurant and catering organization co-founded by restaurateur Joe Bartolotta and his brother, two-time James Beard Award-winning Chef Paul Bartolotta. Since 1993, we have grown to become the premier culinary brand in the Greater Milwaukee region, offering first-class service and cuisine across a portfolio of 18 one-of-a-kind restaurants and catering facilities. We are a family-run business that values a "hospitality heart"—a commitment to excellence, a passion for guest care, and a "can-do" attitude. We also give back to our community through Care-a-lotta, a charitable program supporting numerous nonprofit organizations in Milwaukee.
