Fodor's Expert Review Crystal & Jules

Specializing in fresh-pasta dishes served in a romantic environment, this restaurant is named after chef-owner Andy Richmer's wife and late mother. Seafood selections come with a choice of two sides, from a light Caesar salad to hearty fettuccine pasta with cream sauce. Pasta dishes are large and flavorsome, as in marinated chicken breast atop creamy pasta tossed with tomatoes and roasted poblano peppers. Several by-the-glass options are available on one of Madison's most extensive wine lists.
