The service was great and we had our orders in pretty fast. The soups hit the table first. The chicken dumpling made me feel like a kid again. Great dumpling to soup ratio. We all ordered the chicken parmesan. These were massive chicken breasts, cooked really well. Way more spaghetti than I could eat. Great service, good food!

My understanding is that it has a long-standing reputation here in Milwaukee, and I can see why. Service was quick and friendly, and while waiting for our bruschetta, I enjoyed the Italian music and general atmosphere in the dining room. That appetizer approved to be a winner: fresh and prepared with care. We ordered two pizzas to share, my favorite was a classic with red sauce, basil, and fresh tomato. Santino's zas are thin crust and loaded with toppings! We didn't have dessert, but I will the next time I go. I'll also be returning to play on Santino's outdoor bocce courts!

Quickly seated for our reservation and had prompt service throughout our dining. The extensive wine/cocktail/mocktail list was well crafted and refreshing. And last but not least, the food was phenomenal. Splitting pizzas and pasta dishes amongst the table was a perfect way to sample multiple items. Pizza crust and ingredients were very fresh and happy sitting in the palette! Thank you Santino's!!

The thin crust was good the sauce was abundant and did have a little kick, but great flavor. The sausage was fresh and flavorful as were the other toppings. The employee was great and even asked if the pizza was cooked to my desired level of "done-ness". I even got to play a free game of Pac-Man while I waited in their shop. It could have benefited from some jam band, dead esque ambiance but overall a great first time experience! I'll be back!

The space is nice and while it took me a second to figure out what I was doing, I got the hang of it. This sandwich was so amazing. The flavors were bursting with that goat cheese bread and the cheesy steak. It was definitely messy but thankfully I had fries to go with my sandwich. I let the filling for the sandwich that fell out go right on those fries and BOOM! a second meal of smothered fries. Chef suggested some finely sliced pepperoncini and wow.. that really brought a different dimension to the sandwich. I will be coming back to get this again before it leaves the menu. The Garlic Butter wings were also so amazing. The flavors really melded well together with the smoked wings and the garlic butter. I could eat a dozen of these easily. I need to get back and try their pizza now. I will be keeping an eye on where their food truck lands this summer as well!

We returned to Milwaukee for a visit and went back to Sorella. The kitchen has improved…read moreimmeasurably. I almost felt like I was back in Italy. The dishes served at Sorella reminded me of the food I devoured on the Jersey Shore in towns like Point Pleasant Beach, Brielle, and Toms River. My Chicken Parm was fantastic, with a crispy breading and lots of cheese. Like on the shore, it was too much to finish. My wife's pasta was cooked al dente, with just the right amount of sauce. Most Italian restaurants in Milwaukee serve pasta swimming in sauce, burying the pasta's flavor. Sorella got it right. The service was friendly. We sat at the bar eating late and had fun. Sorella has become one of Milwaukee's best Italian restaurants.

I've been reading a lot of sites that say Sorella has Milwaukee's best pizza so I decided to order…read morea couple to find out. We ordered a sausage pizza and a Margherita with artichokes and extra cheese. The pizzas were delivered while they were still technically warm. The crust on both was vaguely burnt, but good, traditional hand-style. The char added to the flavor profile. BF enjoyed the sausage and said it had actual fennel seed, a good sign. We both thought the sauce was good and not overly sweet - seemed not to be generic from a big can. My Marg was very good, although the extra cheese was not overly evident. We liked it very much overall and we want to try it again on site. They do not have my vote for best pizza in Milwaukee, however. Jury is out on that one...

We decided on a large Vinchi's special-just as delicious as I remember! The one & only server handled the food orders very well. I complimented her hard work & she informed me this was her first server job! The pizza is perfectly thin with a savory sauce-not sweet at all. Toppings were plentiful & served tavern style. The 2 of us polished off about half-while we could have ordered smaller pie, the leftovers were just as tasty! If you're looking for a relaxing space to enjoy a pizza, this is your spot!

Got to try the Vinchi's Special, Sausage, Mushroom, and Onion. It was delicious and the sausage was very good. Will definitely be back! __________ I called and ordered takeout. This place is inside The Bubbler bar, which is not advertised outside, nor was I told on the phone. Don't stop at the bar; just go straight to the back to get your pizza, and again, it's not obvious. Oh, and cash only! I waited an hour for it to be ready, drove there, went home, and my order was wrong. Didn't notice until I opened the stapled pizza sleeve when I got home. Ordered a medium peperoni and a large sausage, mushroom, and onion. My picture shows the order receipt. But what I got was two peperoni pizzas. So not only did I overpay, but I tried calling them, and it went straight to a recorded message they that don't accept messages. Needless to say, I was annoyed. The pizza was good, though.

Although pizza…read morefood trucks have become somewhat common in Milwaukee, Pizza Ortolana stands out for both its great tasting pizza and its unique style. Pizza Ortolana serves its single-serving pizzas out of a converted vintage trainer that now includes a wood-burning oven. Ortolana's uses their own Napoletana-style pizza dough which is softer and chewier than traditional thin crust. I had a Margherita pizza and the sauce was delicious, with just the perfect level of tangy. They plan to offer a rotating menu focused mainly on vegetarian and vegan options, but also offer the occasional pizza with meat. The Margherita pizza I tried cost $12, while my companion's vegan Marinara pizza was only $11. Ordering and payment is handled entirely through the CashDrop app, providing a smooth and touch-free experience. Although just two months old, the good news is that Pizza Ortolana has arranged to be serving their delicious pizza at Supermoon on a regular basis. Otherwise, the easiest way to locate them is via their Instagram account: @pizzaortolanamke
