  This is a bar everyone loves to hate on, yet everyone winds up going there often.
  
  The food won't blow you away but it's decent and edible, the service is always hit or miss. But compared to other bars on college ave. it's cleaner, the patio is decently nice, and the clientele is nicer and more professional. They often have two for one drink specials. Two bottles of microbrew beer for $3? I'll take it any day.

  Wouldn't recommend this place. I sat on the patio and the whole time a server never even acknowledged us; despite many apathetically walking by not looking stressed or busy.  We had to go order everything ourselves from the bar. Then I went to the bathroom and they wouldn't let me back on the patio without a "ticket," even though when i got there I didn't need one and it wasn't clear to me that a ticketed event was going on or that you couldn't come back if you left.  When i explained I had just been out there and just needed to close out so i could leave they just replied "I don't care you need a ticket."  The other person who was with me had to close us out so I could even leave.  Rude and disorganized.

  This place looked like a bad idea from the start. The bouncers at the door let me and a couple of my friends inside. However, one of my friends was denied entry because the bouncer didn't like the way he looked. They threatened him and tried to start a street fight. The dance floor was crowded with douchebags looking to start more alcohol-induced fights and/or hit on everything that moved. The bartender ignored us completely. Screw this place. I'll take a dive bar over this "establishment" any day.

  When my friends and I go on the Ave, they're usually done drinking by the time we make it to 'duzzi's, if we get that far that night. I don't drink, so I can't vouch for the drink quality and prices.
  
  My friend once described this place like this: "Anduzzi's is the place that both disgusts you and creeps you out,  so you don't understand why you can't stop going back." After joining the 21 club, I came to Anduzzi's and finally understood this statement, except I wasn't really itching to go back.
  
  The dance floor upstairs is the main appeal of this bar and is what people come there for. This place is usually packed with people and you can barely walk through the dance floor without touching another person. What pisses me off is that men really use this fact for their advantage. I have been pinched more times than I can count in the few times I've been there and I know those weren't accidents. It frustrates me that I can't just dance with my friends at this bar. Men seem to think that, by virtue of me even being on the dance floor, that I am just waiting for them to come up behind me. A lot of people I know secretly love this attention, but it just makes me feel dirty and violated, single or not.
  
  The only reason this place gets higher than one star is because it's probably the best place to go if you're in the mood for dancing (yes, better than The Bar and Luna).
  
  Anecdote: I heard from one of my friend's that her friend, who is from Ghana, was denied entry by the bouncers and it was pretty obvious that this was racially motivated. Based on this alone, people should boycott this place.

  Avoid this place if you're in from out-of-state.  The bouncers don't know how to tell the difference between a fake ID and a real one.
  
  I was in town from another state visiting family and they took me out on College Ave.  We went to a few places before going to Anduzzi's with no problem.  When we got to Anduzzi's, the three people I was with (all WI residents) had no problems.  I handed the bouncer my driver's license.  He stared at it a few seconds and handed it to the other bouncer.  He then told me he was "confiscating" it until he could verify it was valid.  I asked how exactly he was going to verify it.  He said he needed a police officer to okay it.  When asked if he was going to call the police, he said "No.  You have to get a police officer to get it back."  (A tip for anyone in WI with a valid out-of-state ID - In Wisconsin, an employee of a bar can confiscate an ID but ONLY for a reasonable time and ONLY if they're making a legitimate effort to either determine it's validity or notifying the police of a fake ID.  These men were doing neither of these things.  Once they took the ID and refused to give it back or to call the police, they were violating the law.)
  
  My sister flagged down two police officers who promptly returned my ID, telling me that there were better bars in the area.  I thanked them and promptly went to one of said better bars.
  
  The owners of Anduzzi's need to train their bouncers better or they're in for some civil lawsuits.  Anyone with common sense and some basic training in valid IDs could easily tell my license was legitimate.  The bouncers at Anduzzi's have neither, and they don't know the law.  I will not be returning on future trips to Wisconsin.

  It was my first time going to Anduzzi's and I had a blast.  The place is really big with tons of area to sit and mingle.  The bar itself is very big so it felt like there was always room to get a drink.  They had a nice dance floor area away from the tables.
  
  The drink specials were awesome, $4 Jack and Cokes..can't beat that.  Also the bathrooms were extremely clean and well stocked.  The only reason I wouldn't give this place 5 stars is because it was freezing inside! Temperature control can make or break a place for me!
