Filippo's Italian Restaurant — Restaurant in West Allis

Great atmosphere. Soft music. Lots of chatter among patrons. Always love to see people spending time WITH each other and not just near each other on phones. Great layout with the restaurant broken into different rooms making it feel more cozy.

Service was great. Our server was attentive, friendly, and polite. She made recommendations and brought courses out timed well. It was little hiccup-y initially with the time it took to get drinks and order, but that was mostly on us. I'm sure it can get confusing when not everyone shows up at the same time, trying to balance our staggered appearance with having other patrons who also needed service. Once it was clear we were all there she was spot-on. One thing that was really weird is they only have one drink menu. Not one page. Literally one menu that gets moved from table to table when people ask for one.

The food was excellent. I forgot to take a picture of my Zia Maria, and didn't realize it until it was half gone. Ice cream drink with Amaretto and Banana Liqueur, topped with whipped cream, and a cherry. YUM...E! One person ordered the Vegetable Combination appetizer for the table. The onion rings are breaded and oh so crunchy and the Fried Eggplant is crispy on the outside with a very creamy inside. Around the table we had Linguini with Fresh Shrimp and Clams, Homemade Baked Lasagna, Spiedini A la Siciliano, and two of us had the Tagliatelle A la Romano. The beef was so tender and flavorful. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their choices. So much food. Served with soup or tomato juice AND salad, garlic bread, and Italian bread - as well as breadsticks. I haven't seen breadsticks on a restaurant table in forever. So I had lunch today, and will have lunch again tomorrow.

We would...

We recently went to Filipo's while I was in town visiting family and didn't have a good experience. We went for dinner soon after they opened and were seated right away. Our sever took our drink order and promptly brought them to the table. Our order was taken soon after and the soup and bread was brought out quickly. After waiting nearly 40 minutes for our food we were about to walk out when the server told us it would be out in less than 10 minutes. Twenty minutes later we finally receive our food. It took over an hour to be served, tables that were seated after us were paying for their food and leaving by the time we received ours. The server also brought the wrong size pizza and said he would see what he could do about it. A few minutes later a manager came to the table and said that she would discount the pizza on our check. The pasta dish was a bit bland, but the pizza was very good. When we received the check the manager had changed the price to reflect the correct size pizza instead of the one I ordered. There was no discount, just a price adjustment which was very frustrating. Why did a manger need to come to the table to tell us that she would correct the bill when it was their mistake. I understand mistakes happen, but it is about how you fix them and satisfy the customer that matters. An hour wait for food when everyone else was receiving their food in 30 minutes isn't acceptable, especially if you aren't willing to work with the customer to fix the issue. After this experience we are in no hurry to go back, or recommend Filippo's to any...

Perfection!!!! Consistency. Deliciousness. Vegan!!!

Where do I start? Really… where do I start? This place has been a family favorite since I was a child. My parents love to eat here so we often make plans for dinner to get together. The pizza was and still is amazing and truly is the best around. Love it!!!!

I was vegetarian for many years so I enjoyed a vegetarian pizza here and let me tell you… the cheese and vegetables with the delicious crust- perfection! I went vegan years ago and this is the ONLY place where I can enjoy a good vegan pizza. They actually provide a substantial amount of vegetables. They have unique sauce and the crust is flavorful. If I got anywhere else I pay for bland sauce with cardboard crust and minimal to no veggies. They are also really cool and respectful about me ordering a vegan pizza. No issues.

Which leads me to mention the staff. Most of the staff have been here for a long time. Some new faces, but a lot of regulars. They are kind, friendly, genuine and an absolute pleasure. Shout out to Mackenzie who took care of us this weekend. She was awesome!!!!

I do not have pictures from my last two visits. I typically add artichoke and large tomato slices to my pizza now. However, I did save previous photos to show how amazing the Vegan pizza is along with one of my husbands.

It’s always clean inside and comfortable. Looking for a good pizza at a great price, you won’t be disappointed. Oh and the breaded mushrooms...
