As friends and family gathered last month to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Ristorante Bartolotta dal 1993 and hence The Bartolotta Restaurants, there wasn’t a moment that went by without Joe on our minds. We thought to share the first photo of Joe in Milwaukee Magazine, proudly holding two plates from our opening menu, smartly dressed in a double-breasted Gucci sport coat. And so, the journey began.

We know how much he would have loved the celebration. Anyone that knew him knows that Joe Bartolotta would have been the first one cutting the cake and handing out slices, and the first one to hop on stage and joke that he was “kind of a big deal!” He would have been so proud, looking around at all the new and familiar faces celebrating three decades of a dream he and Paul shared. It has been four years since Joe left us, yet his hospitality heart is with us every day. His leadership, his friendship, his larger-than-life personality that filled every room he entered will be treasured forever. We love you, Joe!

Thank you to all those who attended, especially Governor Tony Evers – pictured left with our CEO Keith Trafton and Maria Bartolotta, City of Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson, and Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Joe. As we do often, we are taking today to remember your spirit, your energy, your humor, and your love of family and community. We are reflecting on how you, Paul, Maria, and Felicia brought the "Bartolotta Table" to Milwaukee, and how, to this day, The Bartolotta Restaurants remains rooted in the values of your family, with an unending love for this city and those who live here. As we enter our 30th anniversary in 2023, we couldn't be prouder, and more honored, to carry your legacy forward. We all miss you.
