My husband and I love coming here! The food and service are always incredible and the vibes are cozy. Our favs are the lasagna, the bolognese, the penne alla vodka, and the mushroom tortellini. Delicious every time! The prices are very reasonable too. This place is a little hidden gem in Downtown Delafield.

“It’s not about how much time you spend together, but the quality of the moments you share.” Our first time dining here was absolutely amazing, from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Their stuffed mushrooms and lamb dish was tasty and juicy. Calimari was absolutely delightful. Professional service and high quality food and drinks. I highly recommend IL Mito Cafe, you won’t be disappointed!.

We had a nice dinner here. The patio was wonderful on a summer evening. We had a reservation for Friday night, but I think we could have walked in without a wait as a party of 2.
Service was good. Water was refilled and the wait staff asked if we needed refills on our other beverages. They were very accommodating as we took a little extra time reviewing the menu. They also seamlessly split a salad we decided to share.
The food was decent, but not as well executed as I would like. The table bread were quartered ciabatta with a garlic infused olive oil. It was delicious, but not for the faint of heart. The short rib was tasty, but a little dry. The osso buco was decent but dry. Both of those dishes should be braised for maximum flavor, tenderness and moisture. I felt like both dishes were probably roasted and then finished with their respective sauces. I could be wrong, but it didn’t seem like the flavor had penetrated past the surface. The risotto side was unexceptional, but the mashed potatoes were good.
Overall, I think this was a 3.5 experience for me. The pricing was fair for downtown Delafield in my opinion…$85 for two drinks, a salad and two entrees…plus tip.

Highly recommend you try Il Mito in Delafield! Fantastic food for very reasonable prices.
Constructive criticism to Il Mito, no idea how this restaurant is a cafe…is it really?…also would love for you all to redo the signage out front and please tell people you’re Italian. I passed right by many many times without even realizing there was an Italian trattoria right in front of me!! I’m embarrassed to say!
So glad I found it though. Food was flavorful and high quality and for extremely reasonable prices. Good atmosphere in a small space, if a little confusing in terms of which ambiance is trying to be set.
The wait staff was also very friendly. I will certainly be back in again to try more!

Yum! My friend recommended this place and based on the reviews and pictures I was excited to try! We had made a reservation, though when we arrived around 5:30 on a Saturday night, there were a good amount of tables available. By time we left there was a line at the door.
The restaurant is intimate feeling and the low light created the perfect cozy feeling. There are good variety of table sizes for all types of groups, and outdoor seating for those warmer days and nights.
Looking around as we were deciding on what to order, everything that was being delivered to tables around us, looked delicious! I ordered the Tortelloni Della campagna, an amazing mushroom filled pasta dish. Everything was so good and the perfect serving size. There are plenty of options of wine to go with your pasta dish. I am excited to come back and try more!

I want to highlight the good things first: the outdoor seating is delightful, especially under the porch roof. The open windows make the inside fresh on a nice day. The service was good. This is dog friendly and the busser was kind enough to bring out two bowls of water unasked. The atmosphere is nice and not too loud for conversation. The shrimp salad was wonderful and the iced tea had a pleasant hibiscus flavor to it. The pricing is reasonable.
Now I need to address the items that didn’t work out so well: The caesar salad dressing was more vinaigrette than caesar and while the presentation was beautiful the flavor did not wow me. The crusty bread slices are not worth mentioning.
I received an il Mito gift card for Christmas and showed our waiter at the start. He told me it was no good in Delafield, only in the Tosa location. When I got this gift card it was supposed to be honored at the Zesti location in Hartland, (same owner/company) but we found out quickly that that was not an option. So I called il Mito in Tosa and asked if it was good there. Shortly after this call the Delafield location opened with the same name, same owner/chef and I called to verify the card was good there now too. Yes I was told, 3 different times. Today we were told no. We asked for the manager who was already our server and he said I was told wrong and that they had different computer systems. Good for him, he accepted my gift card this one time. Shortly after this he came back to the table and told me there was no money on the card. I showed him the receipt and he took it and the card back with him. When it was time to pay he told us he would again honor it but wanted my name and phone number “in case.” In case what?? I was offended and made sure to take a picture of the card and receipt before he took them away “in case” they decide we were out to cheat them.
So, the meal was ok, the atmosphere very nice and the pricing appropriate. But the hastles all around il Mito and Zesti is not worth my time and effort. Sadly, we will go elsewhere for a drama free meal.

Delicious tortellini. Was able to get grilled shrimp instead of chicken. Hector was an awesome waiter!

Authentic Italian options. The food was delicious & the staff was super friendly. We enjoyed the meaty Italian pizza, pumpkin ravioli (with shrimp), and tiramisu dessert … however, the chocolate hazelnut torte was the best. Both our wines by the glass were excellent (chianti tuscan & cabernet). Being seated on the patio was awesome. Prices seem reasonable for the great quality & service.

Ordered carry out- ordered a caesar salad with extra chicken. Chicken came as one big slab of meat on the salad, clearly was previously frozen. Lettuce was dirty and mushy. Ate two bites. Had a side of fries that were mediocre. Would not order here again. Very disappointing
