Wonderful staff, wonderful ambience, wonderful food, wonderful wine and cocktails. Amazing family place. The veal Parmesan is delectable

Great food, great service, and reasonable prices. Nice selection of mocktails. Burrata salad with blood oranges and regular oranges was wonderful and fed 3 of us for an appetizer course. My husband raved about his veal done in the Cotoletta style. Chocolate panna cotta dessert was delicious. We will absolutely return.

This is the second or third time that I have brought gas to Safina, always with an outstanding experience! The three women I brought last night fell in love with their charming restaurant, delicious food, and wonderful service. My husband, Jimmy, Pandl, owned five restaurants at one point in our lives. I know how hard it is to deliver exceptional experiences consistently. We just spent a month in Italy in May and your food is just as good We will be back and will make sure that we continue to highly recommend your restaurant I believe Giovanni, is your father, and he is a pleasure every time we are there. Thanks for all your hard work, and for making downtown Milwaukee in great Place.

Loved Safina! Nothing makes me happier than an arugula salad! It was delish! The bruschetta was different but yum!!! Hubby had the pork chop for his dinner & lunch the next day. Big. Family owned & run, charming, and quite adorable.

We enjoyed a great dinner here a couple of evenings ago. The food was delicious, portions were large enough to bring some home. Anna was a delightful server. Highly recommend dining here.

We had an absolutely wonderful dinner at Safina! Prior to our arrival I had some conservations with Sal as we had some guests that had various food allergies. Sal was great with communication and did everything possible to be sure our guests had food options to meet their dietary restrictions. Our meals were fabulous!! We were staying at a hotel so unfortunately, we could not take our leftovers back with us as we would have enjoyed it again the next day! Can't wait to visit Milwaukee again so that we can have another meal at Safina!

One of our top dining experiences! Again. Food was phenomenal and the service was impeccable.

We have been dining in the Giovanni restaurants since the 1980s. The food has always been delicious, and this visit also did not disappoint. We will return more often!
Janessa
Some of the best pasta I have had in Milwaukee. So good that I already made another reservation to go back. Our server was amazing, kind, knowledgeable and you could tell she was passionate about the food Safina serves. 100000/10 experience!
Luis
Absolutely delicious, outstanding service and the ambience tied everything together perfectly. It's evident they use quality ingredients and the taste is so authentic. You will not be disappointed.
Went to celebrate our anniversary and had a fantastic time! We split the Rosetta salad which was very refreshing. I had the Shrimp Diavolo which was amazing, the chili oil on it was the perfect amount of heat. My husband had the Ragu which I almost wish I got too, so good! Finished with a lovely cannoli and malted milk martini. SO GOOD!
