The 38 Best Restaurants in Milwaukee, Wisconsin | Eater
"When Polonez closed in 2022, Milwaukee, the city with the fourth largest Polish population in the country, seemed to lose its last true link to the old country. Enter Wioletta’s, a slick, sparkling, and decidedly nouveau grocer that has quietly grown and expanded options since opening that same year. Seemingly interminable coolers are choked with homemade pierogi, stuffed cabbage, borscht, and bigos, as well as fresh paczki and pillowy rolls. The deli counter splays multitudes of fresh sausages, hard salamis, and head cheeses, while the isles offer enough pickled fare for a fallout bunker. The breadth of the offerings recently became too wide for the shop’s Howell Avenue digs; the family-owned operation plans on opening a full-fledged Polish restaurant this year in South Milwaukee. Know before you go: Packzki is pronounced “puhnch-kee.”" - Todd Lazarski
