Description

The Bartolotta Restaurants is a nationally recognized restaurant and catering organization co-founded by restaurateur Joe Bartolotta and his brother, two-time James Beard Award-winning Chef Paul Bartolotta. Since 1993, The Bartolotta Restaurants has grown to become the premier culinary brand in the Greater Milwaukee region, offering first-class service and cuisine across a portfolio of 17 one-of-a-kind restaurants and catering facilities. As a forward-thinking and respected company, we also give back to our community through Care-a-lotta, a charitable program that supports numerous nonprofit organizations throughout Milwaukee.


At The Bartolotta Restaurants, we are committed to excellence in every aspect of our business, from the products we source to the food and service we deliver every day in our restaurants and catering venues. Our greatest asset in our company is our team members because, without them, we wouldn't be in business.


We look for people who have what we call a "hospitality heart," characterized by a commitment to providing excellence, a passion for taking care of our guests, and a "can-do" attitude. We're a family-run business, and we consider our team members part of The Bartolotta Restaurants family.


High Stakes by Bartolotta is inspired by Chef Paul Bartolotta's apprenticeships throughout Europe, his award-winning career in Las Vegas, and his most recent travels in London.


We blend old-school charm with new-school flair, bringing the art of theatrics back to dining. Our menu sets the stage, our team tells the story, and the immersive experience makes High Stakes by Bartolotta truly unique.

When dining out feels like a dinner party, we've hit the mark. We're serious about our food and hospitality, but from the moment guests walk in, we serve pure entertainment. We bring a cosmopolitan spirit downtown, balancing refinement and panache, while staying fun and chic.

High Stakes by Bartolotta continues the legacy of our commitment to elevate the social fabric of our community. We honor our roots, ensuring the values that were taught and shared around the Bartolotta Table continue to guide our story, as we pay it forward and double-down on Milwaukee.
