The Milwaukee Files: Paul Bartolotta | Owner of Bartolotta Restaurants

Welcome back to the Niver Niver Land Milwaukee Files.

Today we're speaking with a legend of Milwaukee dining. Paul Bartolotta is a two-time James Beard award-winning restaurateur who has been operating his restaurant group since 1993. He's been working in restaurants since the 70s and the guy has been just about everywhere.

He's a huge name in the town. We knew it would be essential to bring him into the discussion when we visited, and we're glad we did. This was an excellent chat that unveils his thoughts on legacy, family, and heritage.

We're sure you'll enjoy this episode. Thank you for listening!

Welcome to Niver Niver Land: a podcast that addresses massive change in the restaurant industry.

The show is hosted by award-winning restaurateur Tim Niver – a local legend of Minnesota's Twin Cities – known for his involvement with fabled spots like Aquavit, Town Talk Diner, and Strip Club Meat & Fish. Today, he runs Saint Dinette and Mucci's Italian in St. Paul.

Tim sees a major problem with restaurant industry dialogue: there is a lack of discussion about the ongoing, unprecedented change. Many of those who work in the industry are still trying to wrap their heads around what has happened over the last two years.

Today, Tim is ready to talk about these things – through his trademark wit and foolishness – so that we can better appreciate and preserve the cultural importance of restaurants.
