Absolutely a wonderful restaurant.. I had a chicken liver with mushroom appetizer which melted in my mouth... The haystack onion rings were incredible.. the grilled pork chops where tender and tasty... Is Spadina he had was awesome.... We had enough leftovers for a total complete meal... We had the flourless torte for dessert... It was very rich but very delicious... I didn't get pictures of all the food but the Christmas decorations were really beautiful inside and out...
What a great pizza...again. A well made thin crust pizza. I am usually a Sausage, Mushroom & Onion person, however, I decided I didn't want the veggies to interrupt the great flavor of the sausage, so mine was Cheese & Sausage. The sausage recipe is spot on. Perfection! Not only that, the seasoned oven gave the entire pizza a flavor that can't be duplicated. A smoky burn flavor that really enhanced the pizza!! Hard to describe, easy to taste! Attached is my wife's favorite Chicken Marsala! Yes, not needed, but I did order extra sausage. Milwaukee should be proud of such a great tasting pizza. So delicious!
Omg this food was off the chain first time trying this place. I am Sicillian The manager is awesome. Everyone is awesome. The food is outstanding. You have to try the lasagna and the bread and the baked tomato bisque. Not only that I ordered a pizza to go because I heard the pizza was in the magazine. It’s absolutely yummy in the tummy. That’s the best words I can get for this place. I’ll definitely will be back and it’s not even that expensive. I’ve lived here 24 years and never been to this place a day in my life my first time it was a great experience.It was a great experience ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
OMG, so good!!!! Best fried eggplant I have had in YEARS. I need to go back, so many things I want to try. We had the eggplants strips, Balistreri's bread and the white pizza. Godere! Deliziosa! 🍷🍷
The service was amazing! Candy our server was great and so attentive. The food was outstanding as well. Pictured below was chicken marsala & linguine with fresh clams. Both were so delicious! We couldn’t get enough of the fresh bread either. Definitely will be back to try more of the menu. Thanks for a great night 🤍
