My wife and I went for our 28th anniversary on the recommendation of a good friend. Lovely space; no problem parking. Service (by Kayla) was warm and impeccable — and she shared her thoughts on selections, which helped. Food was terrific with excellent presentation (the pork chop — wow!). And to top
My husband & I are in Milwaukee for the weekend & we're walking around the streets near the hotel & seen this small restaurant where you could see the chefs in the basement windows cooking. We did not have a reservation so had to wait about 30 mins. When we decided to go back in we went to the bar &
This is a Milwaukee must. The same amazing, quality food as Giovanni’s in a more casual environment. Smaller, intimate dining room. Great service. Also vegan friendly for someone in our party.
Beautiful interior, super friendly/attentive staff and most of all THE BEST food I’ve had in a really REALLY long time! You can tell there’s so much thought and love that goes into each dish they prepare. I ordered the fried calamari, bruschetta, eggplant and the Fusilloni Al Pistachio with the crea
I went here for my birthday dinner and it was absolutely delicious. Atmosphere was small, there were only a dozen tables, so the sound level in the restaurant is very low. Pace of service was great, and we felt genuinely taken care of by our server Lex and all the staff there. Absolutely recommend a
Why go to Italy when Italy is only 15 min away from me! The place is very cute and cozy, felt like home. Food, was out of this world. We got bruschetta, insalate di mare, fusilloni al pistachio, chicken parmigiana just to name a few. If it was acceptable for adult to lick a plate in public, this wo
When I first found out Safina’s was open, I was so pleased to have “Giovanni’s” food available again! From start to finish, everything was excellent. Kayla was our bartender for a cocktail before dinner, & Jacqueline our server. They’re both great at their jobs. There is so much attention to det
Safina undoubtedly offers the finest Italian cuisine in Milwaukee, accompanied by commendable service. Nestled in a splendid, historic building, its old-world charm enhances the overall dining experience.
What an extraordinary experience this was Friday evening. After a slight delay waiting at the host desk, we were seated promptly by Bentley who would also be our server tonight.
It was our first time here, my friend and I, and we were very much looking forward to the first time experience, as it we
Hands down best Italian food in Downtown Milwaukee. Since Giovanni’s closed years back I’ve been lost, Safinas hit every taste bud in my mouth and brought back memories of a home cooked meal by my Nana. 👌🏽🙏 I’ll definitely be back to try everything on that menu 🔥
Everything was perfect. Food was delicious. Service was great! New favorite place to dine!
So many people have been talking about Safina’s! And I mean really really good talk! Having been to Italy and little Italy on the north end of Boston we are always on the hunt for really tasty Italian food. We are pretty harsh critics. The whole fam was in agreement that this was a fantastic exper
So excited to have the Safina family back making Italian food. Amazing menu and wine list.
First time dining at Safina and since my parents are from Sicily and I have traveled there I had high expectations. I loved the cozy atmosphere and the service was great. Calamari was tender, house salads perfectly dressed and delicious. The seafood in the frutta de mare pasta was tasty and cooked p
Such a great experience, so comfortable that it makes you feel like you're coming home. The malted chocolate martini was exactly like the beloved Centanni fav! We ordered a majority of the menu items and everything was delicious! The server was very sweet and attentive! What made my heart more full
Interesting place…an assortment of wines on tap including a chilled red. Wine & cocktail list available. Accommodating staff….overall pleasing atmosphere, a bit too loud for my companion. Chicken Parm was a bit undersauced but staff quickly brought a side of marinara. Humble cross cut petit b
Everything we ordered was amazing! Loved the calamari, beef carpaccio, rosa salad and the Sucilian stuffed tenderloin was just as I remembered it from the 90's. Melt in your mouth fantastic! Thanks Safina family for another great restaurant. Cant wait to go again.
Excellent cocktails, meal and wine. The stuffed filet is outstanding and the oven roasted shrimp is equally as good! We cannot wait to go back!
My wife and I frequent other Italian restaurants in the Milwaukee area and while we have a few favorites, it only took one visit to see that Safina is truly in a class of it's own. It's a beautiful new space matched with a very friendly and attentive staff. The frutta di mare was exceptional and t
