Traveler Reviews on Madison

Cafe Porta Alba

Nov 27, 2008

When I visit from New York back home to Madison I head to Porta Alba where the staff is kind and attentive. The Neapolitan pizza is tasty as they appear to keep the wood-burning oven very hot and use fresh ingredients. If you ever have been to Naples, Italy where Pizza is an exquisite meal, this is the closest I... more

Lazy Jane's Cafe & Bakery

5 of 5 stars
Springfield
Nov 25, 2008

Our November 2008 breakfasts at Lazy Jane’s Café provided a warm friendly atmosphere and great bake goods. The outstanding scones for $2.25 come in many flavors including raspberry, lemon cream, and blackberry. Lazy Jane’s also baked delicious morning buns for $2.75 that are similar to the Cinnabon chain, but better. The Works breakfast—eggs; bacon, ham, or turkey sausage; fried potatoes;... more

Sheraton Madison Hotel

Nov 24, 2008

As a traveling business man, I've stayed at Hotels all over the country. From high end hotels to low end, the one thing I always appreciate is EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. The Sheraton Madison provided this for me. In fact, it went beyond my expectations. From the General Manager meeting us at check in, to the front desk help, to the... more

Best Western East Towne Suites

La Crosse WI
Nov 23, 2008

My friends and I stayed here for two nights while we had a meeting. The staff were fantastic... including being sung to at breakfast. The breakfast both mornings was hot and fresh and included eggs, sausage and waffles along with the usual bagels, cereal and muffins. The rooms are suites so quite big and very clean. Some rooms even have... more

Escape Java Joint

Nov 23, 2008

I wish I could give this place negative stars...I used to be a fairly regular customer because a friend worked there. I was back recently and was shocked at how much it's changed, and not for the better. The jazz is SO LOUD it's nearly impossible to have a conversation, much less read or study. The baristas will turn it... more

AmericInn Madison West

Champlin, MN
Nov 22, 2008

We only stayed one night but were pleasantly surprised by many great features. Upon arrival we found complimentary beer and wine off the lobby. The beer was a wonderful local brew, Spotted Cow, and was served right out of the keg. Along with this they were making fresh popcorn. The rooms were standard with a decent TV, including HBO. The... more

Sardine

Madison, WI
Nov 19, 2008

Sardine is the same owners as Marigold Kitchen, another great Madison restaurant. Right on Lake Monona, it is a lovely setting, Large and interesting interior, with rough wood floors and subway tiles, set in an old industrail building that has been converted. Their brunch menu is good and plentiful and on the dinner menu, definitely try the frites, whether with... more

Lombardino's Restaurant

5 of 5 stars
Madison, WI
Nov 18, 2008

We live within walking distance from Lombardino's and go often. They change their menu every couple months, so are always using the freshest most seasonable ingredients. Bread with olive oil is a nice way to start, but sometimes the bread tastes like they forgot the salt. Their fried calamari is incredible and is served with a marinara sauce spiked with... more

Ian's Pizza

Madison, WI
Nov 18, 2008

I love Ian's, and since I work less than a block away, visit often. Their signature is mac 'n cheese, which is so delicious you'll be surprised no one else thought of it before. Other specials include reuben, chicago dog, general tsao's chicken, steak and fries, fresh mozzarella with basil, and literally hundreds more. Great salads too -- the mixed... more

Wasabi Japanese Restaurant

5 of 5 stars
Madison, WI
Nov 17, 2008

If you think you can't get good sushi "inland", you're wrong! I've been a weekly regular at Wasabi for 6+ years and have not found a better sushi restaurant within 90 miles. They are always consistent with their quality as well as the quantity. Although it may be one of the most expensive in the Madison-area, they are the most... more
