Safina

Really beautiful restaurant! Service was top notch. Food was to shelf! From the bread to the desserts, all 100% delicious. Red sauce is usually just red sauce, I've never had red sauce like this. It was a whole new level. Look at all the pictures, everything was delicious! When we got to Milwaukee we didn't know where to go and found Safina on Google maps. It was walking distance from our hotel and we are glad we found it. When we're back in Milwaukee we will be going back to Safina. Btw...we didn't have reservations but we were lucky to get a seat. Better off making reservations to to make sure you get a seat. We literally got the only open table, we lucked out!

Excellent Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown. Everything our group had was fresh, tasty and hearty. They don't skimp on the portions here! The pasta puttanesca served with the halibut was the tastiest pasta dish I've had in a long, long time. Cocktails and wine were as good as the food. Staff were the perfect blend of attentive but not overbearing. Wonderful meal. Highly recommended.

Tried this place last night - it was so lovely. I really loved the dish I got - penne all vodka. The sauce was so good! We also tried the bruschetta (its with brusell sprouts which is unique and yummy) and the fried egg plant! I also had the lemon drop martini. Very good. Great experience overall!

Safina is truly a gem in Milwaukee’s dining scene. True to authentic Sicilian cuisine! From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting ambiance sets the perfect tone for a memorable evening. The atmosphere strikes a wonderful balance between upscale and cozy, making it ideal for both a romantic date night and a special gathering with friends. The food is exceptional, starting with the appetizers (bruschetta and melanzana fritte). We cannot stop thinking of the bruschetta to this day. Definitely a must try! For entrees, we had Gio’s stuffed filet and the frutta di mare. We ended our meal with their special lemon blueberry cake and their panna cotta. We cannot say enough good things about Safina. We highly recommend and will surely be back to enjoy their cuisine again!

Found this neighborhood gem on a recent trip to Milwaukee. Loved the old charm of the building. We started with the calamari,it was excellent! Along with the fresh bread and the house olive oil fromSicily. We split the special, Spiedini and the eggplant parmigiano. The tastes were excellent. Finished with the homemade cannoli. Only regret, wish that they were open on Sundays. We will definitely be back. Next time will try the fried eggplant! (It looked amazing)

Wow! I've heard great things and we finally checked it out... We were not disappointed! Everything was amazing! Best Italian restaurant in MKE! ✨️👌

Very nice atmosphere with nice finishes, cream city brick and candles at each table. Both the bruchetta and calamari were light and flavorful. Main dishes are generous, and cocktails were good as well. They gave a free dessert for our anniversary. The service was quick and friendly. We will return.

Amazing restaurant, with outstanding food and service! Everything we ordered was delicious, and came out in a timely manner. The service was exceptional, our server Hannah was very kind and accommodating. The entire staff did a great job taking care of their tables, we were very impressed by how well they worked together and their attention to detail. A must if you’re looking for Sicilian food in Milwaukee!
