Eat Through Madison Johnny Delmonico's

Johnny Delmonico's Steakhouse (Madison): Moscato & Marrow Shine, But Steak & Scallops Disappoint ⚡️ My night at Johnny Delmonico’s had highs (hello, beloved Moscato!) and lows (dry steak, ugh)—plus a weirdly magical side note: no wind at all, but we spotted lightning over Menona. Here’s the full, mixed bag of a review: 🌟 The Wins (Worth the Visit For These!) These are the stars that make the spot worth a try: Moscato 🍇 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ First win: They had my favorite moscato! Sweet, bubbly, and perfectly crisp—sipping it alone made me happy. It’s the kind of wine that turns a so-so meal into something more enjoyable. Beef Marrow & Mushrooms 🥩🍄 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The real reason to go! The beef marrow is rich, buttery, and full of deep umami, while the mushrooms are earthy and tender. Together, they’re a flavor bomb—this combo alone makes the restaurant worth checking out. ❌ The Letdowns (Skip These!) Sadly, the main proteins missed the mark hard: Steak & Scallops 🥩🦪 ⭐️ Total disappointment. Both were cooked way off—overdone, dry, and totally lacking juiciness. The steak was chewy, the scallops had a rubbery edge, and I was genuinely frustrated mid-bite (user’s “dry ” sums it up perfectly!). For a steakhouse, this is a big miss. ⚡️ A Quirky Side Note Weird weather moment: There wasn’t a single breeze outside, but we caught flashes of lightning over Menona. It felt surreal—like the sky was putting on a little show while we ate. Small, but memorable! 📌 Final Verdict: Go for the Marrow & Moscato Johnny Delmonico’s is a “pick and choose” spot. If you’re craving beef marrow, mushrooms, or a glass of sweet moscato, it’s worth it—but definitely skip the steak and scallops. And keep an eye on the sky—you might get a lightning show too! #food #InternationalStudentEats #StudentFoodHunt #BeautifulMeals #FoodDiary #Madison #MadisonFoodHunt #MadisonLife #MadisonFood
