The Quality Meals at the Olive Tree Restaurant
It doesn’t get much romantic than this.

The overhead lights had been dimmed to ember level. A single lighted candle on each table cast a soft glow and sent shadows dancing on the walls.

For years, this restaurant on the south side of Blue Mound road had been known as Maddie’s Place. And it’s one of the better Italian restaurants in Waukesha Country.

The name of the restaurant is after the popular olive tree that has come to symbolize, more than any plant, the essence of the Mediterranean region and its gardens. The olive tree growing from 8 -12 meters tall in the poorest, rockiest of soils and depending on ferocious Mediterranean sunshine. Olive tree cultivation counts for one of the largest and oldest agricultural l practices in the whole of the Mediterranean's history.

The Tree Restaurant offers familiar Italian entrees such as chicken, veal, marsala, veal parmesan, and steak, along with more exotic offerings such as fettuccine with sautéed shrimp, scallops, asparagus and sun-dried tomatoes in a brandy cream sauce or a dish called penne rusticca that tosses narrow pasta tubes with Italian sausage, prosciutto, diced tomatoes and peas in a light cream sauce.

That mixture of seafood and asparagus in the brandy cream sauce called fettuccine Mediterranean, served on a large oval platter, with an entrée of a mound of wide flat noodle, still slightly chewy in the middle, covered with a faintly sweet cream sauce and tossed with seafood, freshly cooked pieces of asparagus and just enough leaves.
Dinners com with soup or salad; if there was anything that really won any visitor about this restaurant, it would be the clam chowder served on Friday night. Unlike the flour-thickened stuff that’s widely served in southeastern Wisconsin, this was the real thing, made with whole milk, fresh celery and lots of clams. Service at The Olive Tree restaurant is very good with a lot of surprises.
