Description: Warm and inviting with an air of subtle sophistication, Ristorante Brissago takes the dining experience to a new level with fresh ingredients flown in weekly from Italy. Enjoy regionally made pastas, cheeses, olive oils and desserts, as well as a wonderful selection of Italian wines. Authenticity is apparent in every aspect, our name, Ristorante Brissago, is taken from a small town in northern Italy on Lake Maggiori. Truly authentic Italian cuisine served in a romantic setting, amid spectacular views of the Wisconsin countryside. It's the culmination of 10 years of planning, says Executive Chef Michael Sawin . Our Bufala Mozzarella contains 100-percent Buffalo milk and arrives weekly from Campania, where they've been making the cheese for centuries. The menu invites you to sample, share and delight in something from every course. The choices - incredible. The experience - simply amazing...

Our waiter knew every dish and described in detail those we were trying to decide between. We ended up sharing all the dishes we ordered, and the waitstaff were attentive in bringing extra plates with silverware so we could try each.

Great Italian cuisine. If you dine here make sure to ask for Samantha to be your server as she is awesome and gives exceptional service! The wines are well chosen as well. The menu has a wide variety of authentic yet unique choices.

This is a resto at the Grand Geneva resort, a former Playboy Club! My wife and I went on a Thursday night and found that the place was packed with conventioneers. The noise level was thus a little high, but we were seated in a side room which proved quite acceptable. Despite the crowd, service was prompt, courteous, and friendly.... More

My wife went out for a joint birthday dinner, and we thought that a restaurant at Grand Geneva ought to be a safe bet. The room is lovely, and the service was superb. But the kitchen did not live up to expectations. The calamari fritti were fair, but a tad under seasoned, and comprised of only rings--cheap. The truffled sachet... More

We can't say enough about how wonderful our dinner was. We ordered the 5 course dinner and each course was even better than the last. The sea bass melted in your mouth, the filet was amazing. We had Diver sea scallops as an appetizer which were to die for with the truffle honey butter glaze. Dessert was tiramisu and chocolate... More

This is a beautiful restaurant at the grand Geneva resort. They either use locally grown food or fly it in fresh each week from Italy. The vista view over the golf course is spectacular. Try to get a set by the window at dusk it is very romantic. We have brought our girls ages 8 and 11 since they were... More

took our family of 5 here, beginning of March. They gave the kids Lego sets instead of crayons upon seating us, which was an instant hit! Food was delicious, and worth the price..even had steak for the kiddos! Great variety on the menu, and delicious desserts!

The sauce was light and not overpowering. All the flavors of the individual items of food came through! Blend was magnificent. Pair it with the Cabernet and you will thank me.

As we were staying at the Grand Geneva, we decided to try their restaurant, and what was the disappointment with the Brassigo as we love italian food. The service was really nice, amazing wine list, but the food was far to impress, the pasta was not tasty.
