22nd Annual Black Truffle Dinner

Bartolotta's Lake Park Bistro is celebrating 30 years of authentic French cuisine in Milwaukee's historic Lake Park pavilion, and we invite you to join us for one of our most beloved traditions – 22nd Annual Black Truffle Dinner on Wednesday, January 28.

Imagine yourself seated at the Bistro surrounded by the distinct, incredible aroma of Urbani black truffles and amazing wine. The dining room will be abuzz with guests catching up after the holidays and discussing each course as they are delivered to the tables by our expertly-trained service team. Paired with each of the courses will be some of our favorite wines from our all-French wine list, along with others brought in specifically for this event.

Executive Chef Amanda Langler will prepare an exquisite five-course menu featuring luxurious Urbani black truffle shavings, with five wines thoughtfully selected by certified sommelier Mariana Popescu. For three decades, Lake Park Bistro has been where Milwaukee gathers to celebrate life's special moments. This unforgettable evening of French culinary tradition is the perfect way to toast to the next chapter.
