We had such an amazing evening at The Outside and Tre Rivali! Food, service, ambiance, all top notch! We shared many dishes as a group and each one was better than the next. Highly recommend an espresso martini too!

I was blown away by Tre Rivali. Some of the best food and drink I've ever had. The vodka zaatar martini was phenomenal. Also highly recommend the baked halloumi, branzino, swordfish, and Brussel sprouts. Honestly everything are partying four had was perfect.

The food and atmosphere at Tre Rivali were perfect for celebration or just a great meal out. The scallops were perfectly seared and salted. All of the flavors were thoughtful and I loved the combinations. The menu encompassed flavors from around the Mediterranean. The cocktails were excellent. The Oh Pear had a wave of different flavors and I would not sleep on the Za'tar Dirty Martini. Service was 3.5/5 - nothing bad just a little slow. That being said all of the servers were kind and there were no issues at all. It was a very busy night and I could tell everyone was working hard. The space was large but was able to have an intimate feel. The layout was cleverly sectioned off to make diners feel like you are in a smaller setting. I wish I lived in Milwaukee so I could work my way through the menu over many visits. I would recommend this for a large group of folks who love to share and try different plates.

Excellent food & service except at the bar...not sure if this was a new bartender but for $17.00 for a glass of CA Red I expect at least a 7oz pour. I had to ask him to top off the 4oz he poured. Otherwise outstanding...pricey but very delicious food!

We enjoyed our Christmas Day brunch: the atmosphere was casual but not too relaxed, the service was phenomenal, and some of the buffet options really stood out, like the butternut squash soup and hot ham. Just one note: the balance of the buffet was certainly in favor of breakfast options and, since it covers both late morning and early afternoon, more entree choices would be great. Otherwise, this turns into pricey breakfast.

Very expensive for what was served - the waffles obviously were packaged premade food, not fresh and barely warmed up. It just seemed very lazy. The prime rib was awful extremely dry there as no selection of how done you'd like your cut. The omelette bar saved the breakfast buffet for us, overall mediocre but the staff was nice and attentive.

This was a family Christmas brunch and everyone was delighted. Service was friendly and efficient. Beautifully arranged food stations and all choices were delicious. We will be back.

Love the vibe of this place but was not a huge fan of their pizza. I recommend getting their pasta if you do come here as that was good. The service is great and can go upstairs to the outsider for a drink after dinner!

Went to Tre Rivali with my entire family and everyone loved it. I got the hanger steak, which was delightful. Perfectly cooked! Our waiter was extremely attentive and helped my family make sure we could get everything we wanted considering our allergies. Ambiance is great, we really liked the vibe in general. But the FOOD! Everyone's entrees were great, and the 3 sides for $27 was really awesome. We tried the salad, the patatas bravas, and the broccolini and everything was packed with flavor. We were so happy with our experience and are looking forward to coming back.

Tre Rivali offers a warm and welcoming dining experience. The service was excellent — friendly, attentive, and well-timed without being overbearing. The staff made the meal feel relaxed and enjoyable from start to finish.
That said, the menu felt surprisingly short for an Italian restaurant. While the limited selection made it easy to choose, I would have liked to see a bit more variety, especially among pastas and entrées. Still, everything we ordered was flavorful and well-prepared, showing real care in both presentation and taste.
Overall, Tre Rivali delivers solid food and great service in a stylish setting — worth a visit if you’re looking for a quality meal and attentive staff, even if the menu could use a few more options

It's a bit pricey. The beet salad was delicious but rather sparse. The pizza was tasty but the crust could have been crispier. The scallops were very good. Service was excellent, charming and attentive server.
Nicole
A fabulous experience!
I went on Sunday around noon and expected it to be packed like all the other places serving brunch but I was seated right away.
I was greeted by the most friendly and enthusiastic server I’ve ever met, Mimi! She made my experience there so memorable and welcoming that I just felt like I was meeting with a friend whenever she came around. She took the time with me to go over any questions I had and I never felt rushed even though she was busy with her other tables. I also took note she took the time with her other tables too and always had a smile on her face.
I had the most satisfying breakfast and tried their baked brioche French toast but a smaller portion. It was almost like a bread pudding, so crispy and crunchy on top and creamy deliciousness underneath. It reminded me of when my sister would bake goods at home and had me try them, you could really taste the love in it. It truly was delicious and I’m so happy I gave them a try for brunch.
I’ll definitely be back 🌟
