Italian Restaurants near Fox Point

“Calderone pizza is the best! I first had their pizza back in the 1960’s and it’s still the best pizza! . So glad it’s in Fox Point,“

“Have ordered their pizza- sandwiches and wings- always done to perfection. Pizza is a wonderful thin crust, baked thoroughly- never soggy- toppings are plentiful and fresh! Their Italian beef is one a person can enjoy time and again. If you love meatball sandwiches? Nice LARGE meatballs- sauce is great and the side of fries? More than enough to satisfy anyone.“

“Excellent food excellent service Nice change to have a professional serve us and a professional cooked food highly recommended this restaurant“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an incredible dining experience! From the moment we walked in, everything was exceptional. The wine selection was fantastic, and every dish we ordered exceeded our expectations. The eggplant appetizer was absolutely fabulous, and my stuffed filet was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. What impressed me most was that the kitchen customized my entrée on a busy Saturday night—something you rarely see, even at high-end restaurants. My best friend ordered the Frutti di Mare, and it was outstanding as well. The portion sizes were very generous, and we both left completely satisfied. What truly sets Safina apart is the ownership and service. Both owners came to our table multiple times throughout the evening to make sure everything was perfect. They were even helping bus tables and assisting the staff. That level of hands-on hospitality is something you simply don't see very often, even at many five-star restaurants. The food, service, atmosphere, and attention to detail were all top-notch. Safina has earned loyal customers in us, and we can't wait to come back! Bonus: Sal is awesome!!!!“

“Our third time and the anniversary couple's first time (55 years!) and we were all thoroughly impressed! The food is so authentic - better than any dish we had when we visited Italy! Made with love and fresh ingredients, served by staff who care, and presentation and waitstaff well worth the price. This is not inexpensive, but for any meal with ambiance, and never disappointing, I recommend it highly. Five star everything. We cannot say enough. Thank you for contributing a wonderful Italian option in Tosa area.“

“Just ate here with my girlfriend's and it was very good. service was excellent and food was delicious! Adding some pics“

“My food was absolutely delicious. I went for brunch and ordered the El Mexicano Bowl. I highly recommend this place. It’s nice to see a great restaurant finally take over the old Trocadero building.“

“Cannot say enough about the food, the staff and the ambiance. Whether it is pregame, post-game, special night out, day drinking and dining or late night cocktails and dinner after a late flight this place never, ever disappoints. Its been that way for years and hope it never changes.“

“Staff was very attentive. Food was fantastic. My only complaint is the price, but you certainly get plenty of food for what you pay.“

“Never disappointed with the amazing Tomaso’s pizza. Absolutely delish! 🍕“

“When visiting Milwaukee this is an iconic Italian restaurant I personally have been going here since the 80's. Best Italian food any where. My favorites are the garlic bread, Italian beef and sausage sandwiches, lasagna, and trimisu. Definately best garlic bread ever!!!! Large portions great prices courteous service.“

“One of Milwaukee’s better pizzas but the coldest dining room of all! I give the pizza an 8. Pizza flops, crust could be stiffer.“

“We had the best service with Lisa this past Wednesday late evening! She was excellent and recommended the best Swordfish Special and pizza for the picky! Go and see her and eat something special!“

“Nadi Plates came highly recommended on our venue's preferred vendor list, and after working with them, we would confidently recommend them to anyone getting married in the Milwaukee or Southeast Wisconsin area.

The team was wonderful to work with leading up to the big day. We met with them multiple times in Milwaukee to prepare, and they worked extensively with us to accommodate all of our guests' dietary restrictions, which gave us huge peace of mind.

The food itself tasted absolutely amazing, especially the Rigatoni Pasta course and the late-night pizza at the end of the evening. Because they made all the food fresh on the premises, they never ran out of a single thing and were able to remain completely responsive to our guests' tastes and preferences throughout the night.

If you want phenomenal wedding catering and a team that genuinely cares about your guests, please consider hiring them.“

“I had heard great things and had never been. Was heading to see a show at the Marcus Center last night and we opted for dinner here. Being a foodie, I had asked for recommendations in some of my foodie groups. I heard the meatball appetizer was a must have. It wasn’t on the menu for some reason, and I’m glad I asked as Frank, our awesome bartender/server who is in the family didn’t realize it wasn’t. I have zero idea how you get meatballs light, fluffy, not dense, but these were them. And the sauce! Beyond fresh, light, and delicious. Eggplant Parmesan fries were also super light and served with the same delicious sauce. And then the pasta… Capellini alla Caprese (which was Frank’s recommendation). From their menu: “Handmade angel hair pasta tossed with sweet Roma tomatoes, genuine Prosciutto di Parma ham and an Italian soffritto (olive oil, onion and garlic), finished in a light chardonnay-cream sauce and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.” This was also super clean, light, and just delectable. The bruschetta appetizer we did not order, but the people next to us did, and I asked to take a pic. It looked amazing, and the girls eating it absolutely raved. The tiramisu - not much to say other than chefs kiss! I literally want to go back and try everything on their menu. This was for sure one of my favorite new (to me) places and I will be back for sure! Also a shoutout to the other bartender Shea… she was an absolute gem. All of the staff we met were super friendly and helpful. Love places like this!“

“The overall experience is amazing. The waitstaff, chefs, owners, and sommeliers all make you feel welcome. Each make sure you have an experience to remember. We love sitting at the chef’s counter. Each visit is different and always a great time.“

“Great discovery of a great pizza place!“

“Had a lovely dinner. Service and food were excellent and the 3 for $35 is a great value. We enjoyed our evening“

“Absolutely great Italian market. I definitely love all their sandwiches and their pastries are phenomenal. I only wish it was closer to my house.“

“I was here today & had a fantastic Milwaukee pizza, garlic bread & a glass of wine! I was shocked to see how big it was inside! It’s also very nice & I can’t wait to use the outdoor patio when warmer! Rob was so accommodating & helped me to my car with my food as I’m disabled! Can’t say enough about this place!! The whole area has been revitalized & is really beautiful!! Thank you for an enjoyable dinner!!“

“My best friend and I have been visiting for 8+ years, since we were 14/15 years old! The fusilli is our absolute favorite, and we never go without a cheeseboard or the flourless chocolate cake. We have always had great service and it has made every celebration worth visiting Onestos! ❤️“

“Absolutely fantastic. I ordered on a whim , en route home from work. I never heard of the place before , but it slapped harder than nonna with a hot spoon. The food was ready before the pick up time. And it was phenomenal. Would smash again. Definitely. 🤌🏻🤌🏻“

“10/10 WILL GO AGAIN & AGAIN ‼️“

“I once owned an award-winning take & bake company on Hilton Head Island, so I am a self-admitted pizza snob. The take & bake pizza at Scardina Specialties is the only pizza I’ve found that is as good as the ones we made. Definitely give this one a try!“

“While I’ve been here before, this was my partners first time, this experience wouldn’t have been 5 billion stars without Hudson (the best server we’ve ever had). He made our anniversary special, engaging and attentive to us throughout the night.

We’ll definitely return!

Also - Hudson, thank you, and the Sala team, for the anniversary card. We have a card for you too (upright)!“

“Stella was great. It had been several years since I had been there, but I am very happy to see. They have continued quality food and service. I also appreciated the little touch by providing a small cake for my girlfriend whose birthday we were celebrating. “

“Absolutely love Lisa’s Pizza! Their food is really good! Would highly recommend trying it out if you haven’t already!“

“My partner brought home a pizza last evening from Lalli's. It's the 1st time I ever had pizza from this place. He said the service was excellent when ordering it and picking it up. Our pizza was delicious and they were generous with the toppings, which i appreciate, instead of being skimpy. My only concern after comparing the receipt to the take home menu was that it appeared they might've charged him for 5 toppings instead of the 4 we ordered.“

“amazing lasagna and friendly atmosphere and people“

“Fantastic pizza - always - hot, delicious, done the way you like it - near the 'hood' and on-time - small place - but thin crust is on FIRE!!!!!! Awesome - recommended highly by those that tried it - many times.“

“Terrific restaurant in Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood. It looks a bit like a corner tap, but the unpretentious and comfortable place offers terrific food. They have a great panini menu. My wife raved about her Chicken Pizzaiola panini (Roasted Chicken Breast with Pepperoni, Provolone, &and Marinara.) I enjoyed the Italian Beef, but I think next time I might try something else. Our friends ordered a lasagna, and their only complaint was that it was served very, very, very hot.

The restaurant has a nice, old-school interior, and it also offers outdoor sidewalk seating.“

“I just ordered me a side of Ribtips and I must say they are the best I have tasted so far...They are nice and meaty just the right size and the sauce was off the chain....They were chopped just right not cut thin to look like slices ..Old school flavor...I don't know about anybody but I'm satisfied...“

“with this review, I do not know where to start!! first and foremost they have a five page menu, they literally have everything!! the quality of their food is so spectacular I am absolutely in awe right now!!! I wish I could attach the video I took opening my food to this review because I'm speechless!! and the staff Stephanie is so great she literally sat on the phone with me for like 15 minutes helping me decide what I wanted to order and her suggestion blew me away 20 million stars!!!!!“

“What a view! Il Cervo is on the 9th floor of the trade hotel! I came in for brunch and had a great time! Just need some warmer weather I'll I'll be back for the patio! I was greeted by George, the General manager, when I arrived.He was very hospitable and made sure I had everything I needed. Thanks again!“

“Very romantic spot next to a candle lit fireplace. I like this Italian restaurant“

“This was my third time eating at Dorsia and the food is always good. The service was ok. We had the flight pasta and we were able to chose three different types of pasta and added protein. I also has a strawberry lemon drop and my drink was perfect. Me and my friend girl had a wonderful time. Good food, good drinks, and long needed conversation.“

“This is now the 2nd time I have gotten a Pizza from Marco’s. In my opinion, because competition is so abundant. The people make the difference, not the food.
The employee (male with a wrist brace) shared with me his love for making great tasting pizza.

THATS the difference maker!

I like ordering food from a restaurant the employees ACTUALLY enjoy & like working at.“

“They food is really great and the fast delivery service. I send a way to go to the diver Jeremy friendly service thanks“

“I went in person to order my pizza because i was near by. Pizza only took like 15min to be ready. But their entrance, floor and carpet and ordering area is dirty. Filled with grease and flour. Young boys at the front are very nice and polite.“

“The manager went above and beyond to accommodate my child’s special dietary needs. They took the time to listen, double-check ingredients, and ensure my child felt safe and included. Their patience and attention to detail meant the world to us. Outstanding service and genuine care!“
