“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.“

“Nadi plates is incredible!! Nadia, Zachary and their team did a fantastic job with our wedding at Mercantile Hall. We had 116 guests and everything was cooked perfectly! Our guests were raving about how good the food was. We had filets and steak for our entree. They are a family run business and are so passionate about what they do. We could not have picked a more perfect caterer to do our wedding. I highly recommend them!! Thank you so much for everything!!

“Food was very good. My chicken parm was perfectly done and juicy. The sauce full of flavor. Josie was amazing and went out of her way to make our evening perfect. It was my girlfriend's son's graduation from College and she did great! I believe it was the owner but possibly the manager but a lovely lady was walking around making sure everything was done well.“

“Great discovery of a great pizza place!“

“Worked at Armelis many many years ago. Had a craving for it tonight and it’s exactly how I remember it from 15+ years ago! My husband had it for the first time and said “WHY HAVENT WE ORDERED FROM HERE BEFORE?!” So we will definitely be ordering again!“

“Extremely good pizza! I’ve been eating Mama Mia’s since I was a kid, and even though I no longer live in Milwaukee, it’s still a rare and special treat whenever I get the chance to enjoy what I consider to easily be the best pizza in the Midwest. The garlic bread is exceptional as well. Sadly, the original Antipasto salad is no more. Highly recommended!“

“Our food came out timed with apps and entrees. Fresh and hot. Exavion was a superb server meeting our needs and friendly with smiles. Our apps the lasagna rolls and fried mozzarella were delicious! Entrees of shrimp scampi and eggplant parmigiana were wonderful! I am new to the area and I will be back!“

“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!“

“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. 🤌🏻🤌🏻“

“This restaurant serves up authentic Italian food and reasonably priced. My favorite is meatballs with red sauce and angel hair pasta which combine to make a great dinner. This restaurant is family friendly. I highly recommend reservations.“

“Centro Cafe has been our favorite date night spot for years - the food is always fresh and delicious, the atmosphere is lovely and quaint, and the drinks are amazing too! They have the best Negroni in Milwaukee and we love their rocket salad so much we started making a version of it ourselves at home. Great gluten-free options as well. Truly such a gem!“

“Pizza was decent but average in the sense that it definitely wasn’t bad but it also wasn’t amazing or anything. I thought it was a twinge salty and could’ve used just a little more flavor, the owner was really nice though.

There didn’t appear to be any kind of eating area so don’t expect that.

This place isn’t bad, I recommend checking it out if you’re at the nearby beach and hankering for some pizza.“

“Very good food and great service lasagna is superb and the pizza is top notch“

“The absolute BEST gluten free pizza! You brought me to tears! The pizza tasted just like “regular” pizza! Thank You!!“

“I have been to Brick Pizzeria 5 times and I absolutely loved the braised short ribs. The last time I went i got the lobster mac and cheese. Sadly it wasn’t real lobster. it was fake or as the waitress said a mix of lobster with other seafood. The other people in my party tasted it as well and all said it was fake crab meat. I was very disappointed. I would have appreciated the menu listing what was actually in the dish. Lobster has a distinct texture and flavor. I have really enjoyed Brick so this was very sad Michelle L“

“I was here recently with my 89 year old retired dance teacher and my friend I used to dance with. We had not seen each other in several years. We met at the restaurant that is near Southridge mall in Milwaukee. Shelby was our waitress. She is a gem! No hurry to get out. Came to the table often to see if we needed anything. Had a great time! I had the sampler platter . Awesome and at a good price. No wonder these restaurants are always busy. We went to one last year in Boseman Montana when we were on vacation. This was the first time my son ate at this restaurant. He loved it. The waiter again was awesome! He gave my son the meal for free since it was his first time eating there. Not sure how he could do this but people in Boseman are very nice indeed. My son is now a lifelong patron of this restaurant! Soup and salad for 12.99. A deal!“

“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! ❤️“

“One of the BEST restaurants in the entire city! The food was worth traveling for alone. Some of the freshest and most flavorful food there is to offer. Caleb, the General Manager, greeted us upon arrival and made sure we were well taken care of. The atmosphere of the place was warm and cozy, yet had a modern and lively feel. It made it so hard to leave after enjoying such a lovely meal and time with friends. We will be coming back many times in the near future.“
