greenbush bar

Dave and I were craving Italian for dinner last night after watching The Godfather on AMC. But we didn't want white tablecloth-type Italian, we were looking for hole-in-the-wall Italian. So we went here.

The Greenbush Bar is in the basement of the Italian Workmen's Club in Madison.

The atmosphere is great! Cozy and homey and casual - just what we were looking for.

Unfortunately, the food was not good. We both ordered pasta dishes and I think Newman's Own red sauce out of the jar is better. We have yet to find great Italian food in Madison, but I think we'll go back and maybe try the pizza or sandwiches. The place was packed and there was a line to get a table, so it must be good at something!
