Nestled in Hartland, Wisconsin, North Lake Inn has quickly become a beloved gem among locals and visitors alike. Renowned for its exceptional Italian cuisine, customers rave about their lasagna and pizza, claiming it's the best in Southeast Wisconsin. Mary Hansen's heartfelt endorsement echoes throughout the reviews, highlighting not just the food but the warm, welcoming atmosphere created by the staff. The Friday night fish dinners feature mouthwatering options like the baked summer herbed crusted cod, which is seasoned to perfection with roasted garlic and lemon, enticing seafood lovers to return. Meanwhile, the homemade garlic bread, both classic and cheesy, is a crowd favorite, often described as irresistibly delish and the perfect complement to any meal. Patrons appreciate the generous portion sizes, evident in S B's experience with the lasagna, which was so abundant that a take-out was essential. The attentive service, highlighted by G W's delightful encounter with the staff, provides a cheerful and lively dining experience, further enhancing the meal. With a diverse menu spanning salads, seafood, and classic favorites, North Lake Inn exceeds expectations. It’s a spot worth traveling for, as Kerry Bruett notes when willingly traversing distances just to savor the culinary delights. For those seeking both delicious food and an inviting atmosphere, North Lake Inn is not to be missed.

My husband, daughter and I had another outstanding dinner at North Lake. They have the BEST ITALIAN Lasagna and pizza that we have ever had . We love this place and the employees including the wonderful cooks. Thank You for everything and we will see you all again SOON. SINCERELY, Mike, Mary and Karen Hansen

The best Italian food in South East Wisconsin. Bar none. I have been going there forever. Salad, bread and pizza is my go to, but I have eaten the entire menu. Always satisfied . And yes, I drive 45 minutes to get there!

How do I give six stars??? I was lost in the area and looking for something to eat when the pizza sign beckoned me into this unassuming little place. I had absolutely no idea what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. From the moment I stepped inside I had to deal with three of the sassiest (and sweetest) ladies I've encountered in a long time. They had me laughing nonstop and made the whole experience more enjoyable. The pizza and garlic bread were out of this world and reminded me of mama mia's in West Allis... turns out there is a connection and they use the same recipe (which explains why I ate an embarrassing amount of food tonight)! Needless to say, I will be back and I highly recommend this little spot if you're in the need for amazing pizza and fun people.

Very good food. I had the lasagna and it was so much food for me to eat I took 3/4 of it home My husband had a small to medium meat lovers pizza he ate half of it there. It's larger inside than it looks

Garlic bread, lasagna and pizza are really solid. We ate at the bar, really nice staff! Has an old school bar/restaurant feel to it which is perfect for us.

My wife and I stopped by for a brew and appetizer. We had a Franziskaner and egg plant fries. Both were REALLY good. The service was quick and awesome! We highly recommend this place! (Their pizza is also out of this world good!)

We decided to try a new place for my birthday dinner. We definitely will be back. We had the lasagna special. Omg ! If you've ever been to Mama Mias this meal is even better. The absolute to die for garlic bread is a meal in itself. Very good service. Our new go to for Italian!
