Love the vibe here! I suggest making a reservation (especially for weekends). Pasta is yummy, cocktails are amazing, and staff is great. I have found they will accommodate whatever they can as long as you call ahead and let them know.

Wow, just had an unforgettable dinner at 107 State in Madison! We started with the pistachio pesto crostini - the combination of blistered tomatoes and burrata was absolute perfection! The steak frites was hands-down one of the top 5 steaks I've ever had - cooked to perfection. My date's salmon with polenta was also a hit, with the fish cooked to a tender and crispy ideal. And dessert? The Oreo pie (made by a local bakery!) was a game-changer. Finished it off with an espresso martini that was the perfect ending to a perfect meal. And huge props to our server, Regan, who was super friendly and attentive - made the whole experience even more exceptional! Highly recommend 107 State for a top-notch dining experience!

Great place to get pasta in the city. Great location, the ambiance is very nice with brick walls, and soft lighting. Anyone with 4-6 people will likely be in a booth. We both loved our pastas, although we left just a little bit hungry. So good portions considering we came into the restaurant famished. It took a while for the server to get our check, otherwise it was a great experience.

I like this downtown restaurant. On State St, about a block from the Capitol Square. I loved the dark atmosphere. Cool jazz music playing. Besides not being very loud in there, the booths help make it easy to have a conversation. The rough brick wall also helps to break up any noise. Our server was very friendly and the timing of her check-ins was good. First off, I liked the bread. Besides being complementary, each piece was crunchy on one side and warm & buttery on the other. The roasted mushroom crostini was a great way to start the meals. It was crunchy chewy, with the expected sweetness from the cheese and glaze. My salmon crunchy outside and soft moist inside. The garlic lemon sauce was a great added flavor. The shrimp scampi also tasted great, although a bit too heavy on the garlic. The Bliss Burger was a tasty burger dripping with juicy goodness. The accompanying fries tasted just McDonald's fries, but a little less salty. The meat in the Ziti with Ragu was a nice combo of hearty meat with soft tender tasty ziti. The waitress passed by with plates of desserts that looked real good, but we were just too full. ....Next time. Overall, I really liked this upscale city tavern.

While visiting from out of town, I decided to take my wife here for her birthday. Man! This was some of the most delicious, tastiest, visually pleasant food I've had in Madison. The salmon alone is now in my top 3 all-time. The lamb chops were grilled tender to perfection. But the highlight of the night was the mushroom crostini appetizer. We have never tasted a mushroom dish with such unbelievable blends of flavor at any restaurant in life! Take a look at my photos, and you be the judge.

Place has a strange smell, not gross just weird. We loved the antipasto (tomato crostini and beet salad). The dinners were just ok. The person with bacon ragu liked it and the person with beef ragu thought it tasted like Chef Boyardee... You could see the oil floating on both dinners and the dishes were VERY salty (both drank water ALL night!) Server was fine, although we saw him eating at the bar between waiting tables (that's a no-no in the restaurant industry! You don't eat and lick your fingers then serve a customer plate!) Bartender cost us extra money too. She asked one person if he "wanted the rest of the bottle as there's a little over a shot left anyway." He said sure and they charged us for a DOUBLE!!! Really? Next time don't do us any "favors" by clearing out your shelf!! Finally, customers don't need a reservation, the place was practically empty on a weeknight.

Stopped in for a quick lunch and was so happy I did. Service was attentive, fast and everything was delicious. If you are on State St., do not miss the opportunity to stop in and support this locally owned establishment.

A great casual staple downtown. Who doesn’t love a great drink and some amazing pasta? This place is perfect for that!

Had a great dinner at 107 State last night. We started off with cocktails and my espresso martini was delicious. Perfect. Appetizer was a blistered tomato crostini with burrata and was lovely. Layered flavor, with the creaminess of burrata and nice crunch of crostini. We shared a pasta dish with a veal ragu, and it was EVERYTHING. Nuanced flavors and the veal was very tender. We had a second cocktail and my dirty martini was exactly as ordered. Would definitely recommend for thoughtful Italian, to get your burger fix, or just to have a nice craft cocktail!

I'll start by saying the ambiance was great! Very cozy. We made a reservation and indicated that we were celebrating a birthday. But this was not mentioned at all. I wasn't looking for anything free, but would have nice if someone had mentioned it. I had beef ragu. The beef chunks were very tough. I couldn't eat them. The rest of the pasta was good. Another person had salmon. The roasted red pepper cous cous was overly spiced/very hot. Finally they did not have any dessert. :( And no coffee either. Probably won't be back.

I'm going to try and not come off too salty throughout this review... We came here on a Saturday night without a reservation, as we had snagged tickets to an Overture show at the last minute. As expected, it was difficult to find a spot for dinner downtown but 107 State had bar seating available with the full menu available. So, we decided to sit. The ambience here is cozy, we came in the summer but I would imagine this place is more well-suited for snowy winter nights. Jazz music playing over the speakers and low lighting creates a quasi-romantic setting. My date and I ordered a couple glasses of wine and a plate of pasta each... here's where things took a sharp turn for the worse. The dishes were so incredibly salty that they were nearly inedible. It's a shame, as the pasta and shrimp were both cooked well. Unfortunately, all other flavors were lost is the SALT and an immense amount of garlic. Listen, I'm a #garlicgirl but this scampi was filled with cooked and raw garlic. I'm writing this review a full 18 hours later, after brushing my teeth twice and eating multiple other meals, and my breath is still recuperating. We let our waitress know about the salt and (politely) suggested the kitchen staff be made aware. She was apologetic, as she saw that we could not finish the Penne specifically. The service was as good as it could have been considering our bar seating. I don't think I'll try this place again, but I will make a point to make reservations somewhere next time we head to Madison.

I must start out by saying historically, I would give this place 4 stars. I don't want to criticize a place when I go back all of the time. My last two times, however, I feel the place is dropping off. I sent a note to the place on Tock, but no response. Now the details... This is a great place to go before a show at the Overture. The place is cozy and comfortable, even if eating at the bar. The drinks are good. The menu seems to be shrinking. They used to have more burgers and I thought more entrees. Nonetheless, take this for what it is worth. My recent visit was a trend downward. We had 6:00 reservations on a Saturday night. I ordered the Chicken Marsala, but they were already out. How do you run out of one of the only non-pasta entrees? I got chicken wings instead. They were pretty good. Our waiter had a cold. I felt bad for him, but he coughed into his hands and delivered food without washing up. You judge if this is for you. We were a little grossed out. Finally, I requested an espresso for after dinner. I saw him make it behind the bar from a pod like a Nespresso. Five bucks for this? Maybe we were just unlucky, but I don't think management gives a darn because they did not have a response yet. I hope they get change the trajectory.

Stopped by for dinner on a Sunday night with my friend and her dog as they had patio seating. Service was great, they brought out some water for her dog as well. We got the crispy pork ribs with pistachio pesto, pappardelle, and the steak frites. The pistachio pesto was very tasty and ribs were good. The pasta was cooked well, however, the sauce felt very heavy. The steak was just okay but the fries were very good! Would go back again to try more of their menu.

Solid Italian restaurant. Our entrees were basic but well made and tasty. I had the ziti and my wife had the scampi. Both well presented and the proportions were decent. The best place about this place was the atmosphere beautiful , basic old fashioned interior and I liked the jazz music played. Will definitely visit again

Stopped by this location for a celebratory dinner for a friend. The blackberry Bellini was refreshing and crisp. The goat cheese mushroom crostini with balsamic glaze was the perfect way to start the meal. Our server was very helpful with suggestions. I had the penne vodka burrata meal that was suggested by our lovely server, Carly (sp?). I ate so quickly, you would've thought I inhaled it. The flavor was exactly what I wanted. My husband had the steak and frites which was customized for him since he has a dairy allergy. He thoroughly enjoyed his meal. We had another event we were heading to so we didn't have dessert. Hoping to return to see what is on the dessert menu.

It's okay!! This was our second time here and the maybe manager ? gave us grief about having a 5th person after we sat down! The funny thing was she said we should have called ahead with that info and we did but we didn't want to argue with her! The waiters are always kind and helpful and the food was okay !

If you're downtown and going to a show it's a good place to have dinner. The drink menu is semi limited but the ambiance is great. Deep booths and the food was good! I would say the penne Ala vodka and the chicken wings were the best on the menu. The reason for the very average review is due to the burger being super greasy and not that flavorful and the lamb ragu being completely tasteless. The passion fruit cheesecake is a must though!! Overall, it's not on my short list to return to, but this spot has had lots of turnover and it's an expensive location. I would more likely stop by for a drink rather than dinner. Happy eating!

Great job overall with the service and food provided here. The charcuterie plate with the fresh burrata was just awesome. The portions of pasta were fantastic!!! Could not finish it all. And the vibe is unique and fun. Really liked the Gemelli with green beans. Would like to try a burger next time.

Fantastic food and service. Came in on a frigid night and were quickly seated after a quick round of drinks at the bar RESERVATIONS RECOMMENDED. Iowa pork chop with pappardelle was 10/10. Orecchiette with bacon ragu was also a 10/10. For an appetizer, we had the mushroom crostini and it was perfect, Music was jazz classics and clearly this establishment caters to a mature crowd, so bring your A game and be an adult.

It's dinner time and I'm hungry for steak and wings, so that's what brought me here. When I entered, I asked if I could be seated. The hostess asked me if I had a reservation and I said no, the she said, "so, you're a walk in?" Awkward. They asked if I could sit at the bar and I was totally fine with it. Ben was my bartender/waiter. He was very nice. I ordered a beer and asked what reposado tequila he had. He wasn't sure what reposado was and checked his collection of tequila and was told q that they don't carry any reposado. Sad face. Hakuna matata. I ordered the hangar steak and frites and an order of wings. All the food came out at once, so I immediately go in for the wings. Hot!! I couldn't wait for the wings to cool down so I just quickly ate them. The hangar steak was hard to eat. The meat was very tough. I ate about 1/3 of the steak-it wasn't enjoyable. Frites we're frites. I like the garlic and Parmesan they put on top. The vibe of the place was ok, I loved the music they were playing. I found it funny to hear the chef hit a bell then yell out what table numbers order was ready. It's comical really when it disrupts the atmosphere of the restaurant. Hopefully, they might discover a better system I may come back for the wings again but not the steak, it wasn't pleasant. The service seems adequate, Ben did fine. If you come to this place, I hope you have an even better experience. Njoy!

I've been to 107 state twice and both times had a great experience. The first time, I ordered the Cacio e Pepe as it was the staff favorite. I had never had it before but it was absolutely delicious and perfect. Since then, I have tried countless Cacio e Pepe dishes, many being in nyc, and none have compared to 107 State! It is a cozy, old tavern vibe inside and the service is great, owner is very friendly! My dad tried the burger and thought it was very good, as well.

Solid 4. Good Italian good and drinks but nothing crazy. Osteria Papavero and Cento are better in the same area but 107 State is still great. If you want a more casual vibe go here instead of those two.

Went here for the first time last night before seeing Post Modern Juke box! The ambiance is cozy, with rugged stone, metal sheet ceilings, and gently lit by candles at each table. Sat at the bar and ordered a drink before dinner. The bartender was attentive and patient, despite the pre concert rush coming in. The pasta was a bacon ragù with green beans and pecorino romano. It was a perfect balance of salt, acid, and seasoned well. The beans did get lost in the ragu sauce, but added to the texture of the pasta. We also got the passion fruit cheesecake (which I didn't get a picture of). The flavor was there but it just missed the zing of that passion fruit. Overall it was such a fun experience and I would love to come back again.

107 State is one of my favorite places to go when I am downtown. I had been dreaming about the lamb pasta but they were out of lamb but our server suggested the Ziti with Brisket Ragu which I ordered. The Ziti with Brisket Ragu is braised Brisket in Red Wine, Tomato, and Shallots with Pecorino and Ceasar side salad. Everything was perfect. The side Ceasar salad was amazing. The croutons were grounded up and there was a perfect amount of Ceasar dressing. The Ziti with Brisket Ragu is now my new favorite dish! I loved everything about the dish-the sauce, ziti, brisket! I would definately order this again. Per usual the staff were amazing and helpful!

Theater tickets so where to go for a pre-show at Overture meal? Friends suggested 107 and we made a reservation. Probably a good idea given the small size and it being a Friday night. Orders a not too expensive Dolcetto wine from the reserve list. Lovely light bodied Italian red. I also ordered a NY Sour cocktail, bourbon sour with a Cabernet float. My wife enjoyed her Strawberry Spritz. The wedge salad was good and cold with excellent blue cheese. The star was the oven roasted thick cut bacon. Absolutely yummy. For dinner my wife had the steak frites. The star was the chimmichuri and steak with the fires a close second. She said it was among the best in town for this type of restaurant. I had the lamb chops. Superb. Grilled medium rare and with a mint and herb dressing. Served with blanched green beans with a nut and garlic topping. And a marscapone cheesecake to finish. All in all a very nice meal for this quality and price. Next time we try the pasta's since the owner made his name in NYC with Linda Bastianich empire!

I had dinner there with a friend. We shared the lamb chops and the pork chop. Both were excellent! People were friendly and easy going. Drinks were great and ample. Atmosphere was kinda old bistro like. They had a large list of pastas that I will try in the future. I highly recommend this place

We went here the night of prom a few days ago. First of all, the waiter dumped a pool of oil on my friends dress. He held the plate super high off the table over her head and reached over her. The oil spilled everywhere on the table, including her phone, splattering and ruining her dress. IT WAS A PROM DRESS that cost more that $100. Completely unprofessional. Didn't help clean up the mess either. She was only compensated when we complained and there was hardly an apology. Never coming back again. The food was not worth the long wait either. Don't come here.

107 State has done it again! Enjoyed a lovely meal here after visiting the night market. Started with old fashioneds and the caprese. Well-made and fresh. We had a taste for pasta. I had the spaghetti and husband had the lamb ragu. Paired with a lovely Cabernet. Service was kind and fast; prices were reasonable. So happy to see this place hustling. Well-deserved! We love this place.

Went here with a group of conference attendees while in town for, well, a conference. I'm giving it a 3.5 stars even though it won't show the half star. very much reminds me of a pub on the inside, and I love the blue ceilings. Our server was wonderful (shoutout to Siggy) and handled our semi-large group well. I very much enjoyed my espresso martinis and the Caesar salad. I got the mushroom pasta dish -- a parpadelle with mushrooms that's name escapes me. It was delicious but too salty for my taste which is unfortunate because if it weren't so salty I would have DEVOURED it all. I get the impression that the pasta dishes rotate regularly because the menu online was not the menu when we got there. It's a cute little place that I wish I could get a redo at.

The food was very good and the drinks were very well done. The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend you get reservations since walk-in put us at the bar unless we wanted to wait an hour or more for a table.

What a perfect addition to State Street, especially in a sweet spot one block from the Overture Center. The chicken Marsala was delicious as was the Pappardelle. We shared a starter of Crostini with roasted mushrooms that was so good it suggested licking the plate clean. Service was attentive and friendly. I have a suggestion. Please add a starter salad of lovely baby greens in addition to the wedge salad and the Ceasar. Make it sizeable so that it can be shared. We will be back!

Service was very friendly and informative which translated into a very excellent dining and beverage experience. If you order anything off the menu except the Dairyland Bliss Burger you are missing out! Probably the best burger I've ever had him at an establishment. Awesome whiskey selection. Mellow atmosphere great music definitely will come back next time I'm in town!

I have been wanting to try this place for a while and I am so glad that I did!!! The food was outstanding, the wine was great, and the service was impeccable. We called around 6:30p on Friday night asking how long it would be for a table of 2 and lucky for us, a table had just finished up! We were seated at a cozy booth and greeted by our wonderful server, Leigh, who was wonderful and attentive throughout the meal (excuse my spelling if that's incorrect!). We started with the charcuterie with buratta and prosciutto and the bread was out of this world. My pasta dish was amazing as well - it came straight from the kitchen and was piping hot, just how I like it! The flavor was great and unique and the green beans were cooked perfectly. I can't stop thinking about how great this meal was and I am really looking forward to going back! I would highly recommend to anyone in the Madison area. It's worth the trip downtown!

I feel like 107 State is a hidden gem. Last year I lived across the street from it and didn't end up trying it out until midway through the year. My roommate and I decided to order takeout one day when we were craving pasta. We called ahead and asked for their recommendations on what their favorite dishes were... luckily for us it turned out we were speaking to the head chef! He recommended the vodka pasta and cacio e pepe. I am a sucker for cacio e pepe so I had to try it out. We went in and it turned out our order was never fully submitted. They asked if we wouldn't mind waiting and offered us two glasses of their best bourbon so it would be worth the wait. I loved it! Chatted with the bar staff while we waited and loved the complimentary bourbon. We decided to dine in since we were there anyway and lived across the street... awesome decision. Service is great! Menu is fun as they are a self proclaimed pasta bar and burger lab. Love!

My friend and I went to 107 State for a girls night out. First impressions were great. The ambiance was great and it's a beautiful place inside. We ordered the salmon with asparagus and the steak with fries. Both were generous portions. The steak wasn't the best I've ever had, but was definitely solid and the fries were to die for! The service is the reason for the low rating. We sat at our table for over 20 min with no server coming to our table although several staff walked by us. I finally had to go ask the hostess to get us a waiter so we could get some water and order our food. No apology from the hostess, but she did go find someone. The waitress finally came and asked if we were ready so I mentioned that we had been waiting for 25+ minutes by then and yes we were ready. She said "sorry" and that was it. We let it be. Our food came in a reasonable time, but we had to pull another waiter to the side to ask for our bill again after telling our waitress 10min or more prior we were done with our food. She cleared my friends plate, but not mine and we did not see her again the rest of the evening. Overall, I'd give them another shot since the food was good. I'm hoping they just had an off night.

Food was pretty bland and definitely not worth the extensively long wait. Additionally, the service was unprofessional. For instance, the server spilt a bunch of oil on my friends prom dress, phone, and dropper her cutlery and hardly apologized or compensated her properly. He didn't even bother to clean up the mess. I had to go to the manager and ask for her to make him give my friend a proper apology and reimbursement. And all he would compensate was her meal, which hardly made up for her ruining her over $100 dollar dress. I do not recommend.

Nice bar and interior. Got the pork ribs and hanger steak. The meats were unseasoned and bland. Clearly a white person who hasn't left Wisconsin cooked this. Cacio e Pepe was boring as well.

Food was impressive. Like 4.5 stars. The mushroom crostini was almost perfect. The pasta my wife ordered was probably 4/5 stars. But the two things I was most skeptical about actually impressed me the most - the steak and the wine. As a burger/pasta bar, I didn't think this was a place that would put out a nice steak, but I was wrong. I tried the ribeye, and it was 5/5, almost perfectly prepared. It was $59 which is about on par with what you'd expect. I've had the ribeye at a few comparable Madison restaurants, and the 107 state version was the best I've had so far. On top of that, the wine selection (though fairly limited) was clearly chosen by someone with a solid palate. I ordered their baseline Cab with the ribeye (I think it was called Ocnautic) and it was a perfect pairing. Take that with a grain of salt because I'm a big fan of Paso Cabs, but it really put a bow on the experience for me. We'll be coming back.

Stopped by today for weekday lunch at 107. Our group of three had chicken wings, lasagne, and a chicken salad sandwich for lunch. All three of our meals were excellent. It is a great place for elevated lunchtime food without elevated prices.

First trip to Madison as we scope it out for possible relocation. Had reservation for 5:30 PM for an early meal & the place was nearly empty; maybe 2 other parties were present. Despite this, the hostess/waitress marched us past many desirable tables in the front & center of the restaurant to deposit us in a booth way at the back of the place. Our scenery was a metal shelving rack containing silverware and other miscellaneous supplies and junk. Oh! And the bathrooms were maybe 10 feet away. WTF? We found our 2 different pasta dishes be heavy on the garlic. Ick. The highlight of our time spent at 107 State was the enthusiastic busboy, who attended Ol' Miss, with whom we had a fun chat. Thanks for the fun chat, enthusiastic busboy! Hope your alma mater wins the College World Series! To the hostess/waitress: Don't put baby in a corner.

107 State used to be our favorite restaurant. In the last month they changed the menu and the quality of their food changed. What used to be the best burger in town is just mediocre. The amazing homemade pastas now seem like they aren't homemade anymore. Not sure what happened but it's not what it used to be.

This is a place with an excellent location, manages to avoid the very undergrady vibe of state street (not that there is anything wrong with that), and offers a respectable venue for a pre-show dinner and drink. With an American and Italian menu mostly there is much to choose from (the lack of deserts is lamented). The servers are friendly and attentive and the space is a bit cramped so I would recommend reservations. Coming to the food, they do crostinis, which are very good crostinis and you must get them because they are that good. Did you write that down? Good. (Psst... get the mushroom!) Then there are sandwiches and burgers which are filling and juicy. They taste good enough but do not stand up much to the expectation the crostini built. Maybe other ones would, knowing only little about the eating of cattle I let my doubts be beneficial here. The pasta looked inviting too so maybe a revisit would be more enlightening. All in all, if you'd rather have a pubby atmosphere but don't want a dive bar either and were doing something downtown anyway just stop by. Definitely better than many of the more famous places around and cozier. Decent cocktails too!

We visited 107 before a trip to the comedy club, it's in walking distance and takes reservations so it was perfect. Service with a smile with the young college staff. Actually most of the people IN the restaurant look under 30, but that makes sense as it's downtown. It's an Italian + American fusion. Prices were reasonable for what you got. I had the pepperdalle pasta with pesto cream, green beans & pistachios. it was rich and, flavorful and filling. i would have replaced the green beans with asparagus but it was still very good! everyone enjoyed their meals- highly recommend!

It was a birthday dinner por mi. I started out with the charcuterie plate which had a nice burrata that was the perfect foil for the pepperoncini. The ham left me puzzled though and was closer to a canned hormel ham than something more hearty and befitting of a prosciutto. Kind of flavorless as a result, though sliced as impeccably thin veils. The Caesar salad was the best my dining partner ever had and the plate was spotless after he was finished. The entrees were rigatoni with a lamb ragu which was very hearty and packed a punch heat wise. It was good. The gemelli with green beans and pistachio in a cream sauce was curious. The idea was greater than the result which was a massive serving that was very heavy on the green beans. They were crunchy and tres al dente but cool in temperature in contrast to the molten pasta they sat on. It could have been my taster, but it was hard to coax a flavor from the sauce even after adding salt. Pistachio chunks would have been a better idea in some sort of stock rather than a whitish emulsion. It was not bad but more underwhelming than anything else because it lacked a flavor and the cooler green beans were more textural than complementary. The thyme collins, however, was very nice to nurse with the pile of pasta. The service and overall vibe was terrific A nice place for dinner but I paid for my curiosity and will wait for my next pasta with crushed pistachios, or ask that it have include some spinach, sausage, or even garlic.

12/30/23 7:15 reservation: The chicken Marsala was fab, the NY strip was full of gristle, very disappointed in our server who was oblivious to our needs even tho she stood 5 feet away from us chatting with another server. I had to go up to the bar & get another drink and our server watched me with no apology. Compliments to the bartender!!

Service was good but the food was not edible. I'm willing to try new ingredients in my pasta but there was way too much lemon in the shrimp scampi Alfredo.

I have come twice - once with a large group (10) and once with just one other person. Both times the staff has been on. it. Definitely make a reservation because it is a smaller place with limited seating, but the ambiance is great for a swanky dinner or a date night - dim lighting, exposed brick, cool bar. The menu is diverse in pasta and burger selections (I have had both and they are 10/10). Make sure you come hungry if you are getting the pasta, the portions are very large, but the burgers are a bit on the smaller side. I often see people even just having a drink at the bar (highly recommend the moscow mule).

The pasta was really really good although didn't taste like a classic vodka sauce. Other people in my party got burgers and those were amazing. Highly recommend the burger. Overall really yummy!

I would look elsewhere to eat. So dark inside, had to turn on flashlight on my phone to read the menu. Small menu! My Wedge was so bare, I literally had just a Wedge of salad. The wings were so dry, I had to constantly dip in some "Mayo" sauce. I would not recommend!!
