Restaurant is located on the third ward street and is one of my favorite go tos whenever I visit Milwaukee. I just absolutely adore the taste of the pastas especially the carbonara. You can not go wrong with any of the main entrees. My friend went with the dumplings so there are "vegan" options in case you are considering. Would like to point out that this place has exceptional customer service. I accidentally booked the wrong date for a reservation(brain fart) but the waitresses at the front did their best to make accommodations. The hummus was not out of the world but it still tasted met our expectations. Drinks were not the best either but it's a nice addition. I would really go here for the entrees and desserts. read more

Came by this spot for a little date night with the wife since we weren't able to go to our usual Italian spot near by. Anyways, on entering the space I recall smelling a nice wood burn from the wood fired pizza oven which was pleasant. Started off with some really excellent cocktails and appetizers (lamb based sausage on some charred pita and a tasty beet dish). Honestly had we stopped at that point, it would have been a 5 star experience, however once the pasta and pizza came out we left feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied. Pasta was very small in portion, and never have I ever had a potato pizza. Both seemed to be over seasoned, which was odd considering the balance of the appetizers we had ahead of time. Anyways, awesome cocktails, apps, and vibes. Bummer on the main courses. 'Til next time, cheers! read more

Food was decent. B Service was terrible across the board. The manager was fantastic, but I was really not impressed with the service. We did get a discount, which was super nice of him. C Ambiance is awesome. The restaurant is very cute. The roof top was gorgeous. They charged me for a bottle of wine instead of a glass. Glad I check before I signed that ticket! read more

Tre Rivali is a solid dinner spot in the Third Ward neighborhood. It offers an interesting mix of broadly Mediterranean dishes, from Italian inspired pasta, to labneh, baba ghanoush and much more. The place trends a bit more upscale. It is on the pricier side, although certainly not unreasonably expensive. I have been to Tre Rivali several times, and in general have enjoyed my visits. However, I have two major issues: 1. I find many of their dishes to be overly salty. This seems to be a problem largely with their sauces. This might not be a problem for everyone, but I really don't enjoy when the saltiness takes over the other flavors. 2. The menu at Tre Rivali is not very diet inclusive. It is pretty standard these days to at least mark on your menus which dishes are vegetarian, but Tre Rivali doesn't do this. Last time I went, I asked the server if their Caesar salad was vegetarian. She said yes, but I am pretty sure the dressing had anchovies in it. Having this marked clearly on the menu would solve issues like this Overall, these issues don't take away from the overall quality of Tre Rivali, which is a really great option for a nice dinner in the Third Ward! read more

I was in town for a bachelorette party. We had intended to go elsewhere but it was closed during the Memorial Day weekend. Wah wah. Alas, a member of our bachelorette party suggested Tre Rivali, and boy did it not disappoint. Brunch is served Saturday & Sunday (8 AM-2PM) We were seated right away. The ambiance inside felt posh and oozed charisma. But the menu pricing overall was very reasonable. Can't beat that! I ordered the Avocado Toast -- marinated cherry tomato, radish, fresh sourdough, basil, everything bagel seasoning with an egg. Delish. The perfect portion. I also savored a cup of La Colombe Coffee. (NEVER disappoints.) Additionally-- we shared the Artisanal Cheese & Charcuterie Board. So fresh and delightful! I am still dreaming of that mustard... as well as the fruit compotes, pickles, honeycomb and cheeses. Word to the wise. ORDER THE PANCAKES. So light and fluffy: a true Tre Rivali staple. The hotel attached to this restaurant hosts many NBA teams when they're in MKE. That is a fan favorite. (Allegedly some of them even take dozens to-go, back home.) Overall, the only low note was our waitress was a bit slow and not super knowledgeable. But-- I wouldn't hold it against the restaurant. It happens. Overall, Tre Rivali hits the spot and surpasses all expectations as a 'hotel restaurant.' I'll be popping in the next time I'm in MKE, so should you! read more

Love coming here for brunch whenever we are in Milwaukee. We enjoy their omelettes, and find them super filling. I always get the mediterranean one and my friend gets the farmers omelette. Personally like my eggs a bit more cooked but still pretty high on the omelette ratings list. It's usually pretty busy but we came by on a saturday and had no issues getting a table. Very friendly service and has great outdoor seating as well as indoors. Nicely decorated and we will continue stopping by. read more

LOVEE the atmosphere and service here. Our waitress was very helpful in providing suggestion and insight on the menu. Food came out SOO quickly. We ordered the butternut squash soup, margarita pizza, whipped riccotta, Campanella and sides, highly recommend the pizza and patatas bravas which came with a delicious sauce. For dessert we ordered the butter cake, baklava cheesecake, cappuccino and latte. I suggest the butter cake over the baklava cheesecake because the pistachio glaze it was served with was too dense of a flavor read more

I finally tried out Tre Rivali during a girls' night and was impressed. The atmosphere is stunning - feels intimate yet airy somehow. The food is also delicious. I got the Dirty Za'atar Martini which was a fun and flavorful twist. We split a few different items: Focaccia, Whipped Farmer's Cheese, Hummus, Ricotta Dumplings, and Woodfired Branzino. The focaccia was dry and lackluster, but everything else was incredible. I particularly loved the Whipped Farmer's Cheese which was the perfect combo of sweet, salty, and savory. My only gripe? We got asked if we wanted more bread with our cheese. We were charged for the additional bread - and another $5 for "bread service." read more

LOVED the restaurant, the vibe and the food! There were four of us and we all shared the following: The plates are meant to be shared but I love the variety of the menu: 8/10- Falafel and Hummus 10/10- Charcuterie Board 9/10- Broccolini 10/10- Roasted Eggplant 10/10- Panzanella Salad From the host to our server (Janet) the service was excellent! Would love to come here again when I'm in town! read more

If I could do brunch on a daily and spend my days outside on the patio with perfect weather I would enjoy eating food from Tre Rivali. It was my first time in this state and honestly, I'm glad we randomly found this spot by walking around in the city center. The seating was spread out and tables were spaced accordingly due to Covid. The wait staff here was super friendly and nice and honestly one of the tastiest brunch spots I've ever had. It was busy on a Sunday morning but we were able to get a table for five by waiting a few minutes for them to set up the table. You can eat inside and outside whichever you would like at the moment. Decided to pick the inside because during that time even though the sun was out it was still a little chilly. I ordered the salmon bagel and the presentation for this was super cute! It had a lot of different vegetables on the board with the bagel that was filled with a lot of salmon. Our table all ordered different items but each one enjoyed it. The little one also liked the chocolate chip pancakes which he liked. Tasty food and drinks with a nice setting. What more can you ask for? read more

My wife and I went here on a Tuesday morning around 9:00 am for some drinks and pancakes. We were the only ones there the majority of the time. Great pancakes. Great patio. Awful service.

On a lovely summer Thursday evening after a long flight to Milwaukee, we enjoyed a sidewalk cafe dinner of small plates. We had a Caesar salad, a Mediterranean salad, pulpo grilled octopus and Brussel sprouts. Our server was friendly, happy, knowledgeable of the menu and area and she had a great sense of timing. She treated our Pellegrino sparkling water as if it was the finest wine! The third ward neighborhood is vibrant and fun. The sidewalk cafe was just right. Summer in the Midwest can be lovely and tonight it was! read more

We didn't have a reservation just sat at the bar. We had a group of 4 we were just kinda of hopping around for cocktails for my friend's birthday. Peter our bartender was nothing short of amazing! Made this experience wonderful for all of us. Drinks were made to perfection and was honestly the best bartender we've had in the downtown area so far. ( and we've been around town for years ) lol. Amazing energy to have as a bartender! Thank you PETER!! read more

We came as group to try out this place and we really were not disappointed. We started with a couple of appetizers (Lamb Kafta and Meatballs) and that put us in a really good mood. We then moved to entrees: Campanelle, Spice Rubbed Half Chicken, Lamb Shoulder Tagine, and Hanger Steak. Overall the 4 entrees were fantastic but the weakest was definitely the chicken; not because it was bad but it was standard. The pasta was delicious, creamy, and full of mushrooms. The Tagine was nutty and full of bold flavors that i never experienced before and we truly enjoyed it. The steak was great but they needed to take it back to get it to the right temperature and that of course messed with the juiciness but it was still great. We ended the meal with 2 desserts: Tiramisu and Toffee. I'd definitely be getting the toffee again and again but probably not a huge fan of the Tiramisu. Our server was attentive and friendly. They do get busy but they try to keep the attention. Overall, we will be back for sure! read more

The place and atmosphere was amazing. Service was great. The food though I had the hanger stake for dinner and for 41 dollars not worth it. I don't mind paying but the food better be tasty. The steak was burnt. We also had the pulpo and it was also burnt. You can taste it no matter what sauce you put on each bite. read more

Excellent food. Excellent service from Lindsay. We are the types that really like to "talk food" and Lindsay was totally there for it. She knew the answers to all our good questions, took my allergy seriously and was on the ball with the second round of drink orders-- that's not always the case. The food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the Branzino. Such a delicate & clean meal. Prepared beautifully. Everything we ate, we loved. The manager (with the slick jacket & glasses) was super kind & knowledgeable-- we chatted with him for a bit. It was my birthday and they brought our dessert out with a candle. The perfect end to the meal. Couldn't recommend this place enough for either a date night, a group or even a family dinner. You can either treat it like a high-end evening and go big or order a couple wood-fired pizzas and some wine and keep it casual. Super glad we found it. read more

Very cute place. Good food! The cheese and charcuterie is a must have! The mixed greens salad is okay. Good portion size but the dressing is underwhelming, needs more flavor. For main I got the amatriciana flatbread which was okay. A tad spicy. The side of brussel sprouts was delicious! I had a glass of Cabernet which was ok, not the best. Second drink was sangria which I had to give to my friends to finish. I hate downtown parking but valet is only $10. I would go back solely for the charcuterie board and brussel sprouts. read more

Went here on a Thursday night with girlfriends, and had such a great experience! Started with cocktails up on the rooftop bar (The Outsider) as we were early for our reservation, which I would recommend to check out! Atmosphere at Tre Rivali is so warm and welcoming! Would be great for couples, friends, family or a big group too. Started with a G&T cocktail, which was delicious! The juniper berries gave it a fun flavor too. We tried the chicken liver mousse, which was really good with their grilled bread and the blackberry compote on the side. Super rich though, definitely plan to split with at least one other person! The star of the night was the cheese and charcuterie board!! 5 cheeses and 5 meats, the 3 of us could barely finish it! Accoutrements were amazing, and it's worth every penny. We did order entrees, which we could barely fi ish, but leftovers were good too! The pizza with grapes, Brie and pork belly was outstanding, the rosemary charred slightly in the oven which really made it perfect. Others at the table got the octopus which was cooked to perfection, and ended up being very light, so a nice option for an appetizer course to share too. Only downside was the service was a little slow- we asked for the check after waiting with empty plates for 15 min, took 5 min to get to go boxes, and then it took another 10 min to get the bill processed and taken care of. Would highly recommend, and I will be back!! read more

We stopped by for brunch at tre Rivali and I was a bit disappointed. I think I was expecting more. To start, the ambiance and the service were really fantastic! The food was just average though...I ordered an omelette and it was a bit lacking in flavor. The omelette was cheese, chicken sausage, and carmelized onion...and woah did they go heavy on the onion. Like 70% onion. It just wasn't my favorite. My friend ordered the hoppel poppel which she enjoyed, so perhaps I need to try something different. I am hoping to try their dinner menu soon as it looks amazing read more

The place is beautiful but unfortunately one of the worst meals I ever had. We started with the meatballs and octopus. The meatballs itself were ok but the sauce around it was cold, is like they didn't put it in a pan together for a few minutes for the dish to come together before plating. The octopus and honestly everything else lacked flavor. We had the chicken and lord this was the worst chicken of my life it had zero seasoning. We also had the pasta arrabiata which was okay, the time to sauce was fine I think it could use a little cream and some Parmesan but who am I. We literally tasted it the chicken and couldn't even continue eating it. We honestly didn't even complain or anything because what for at that point. But I do not think I'll ever be going back sorry. Wish I had taken photos of the food but with how mediocre everything was I didn't even waste my time. read more

Terrible service. After our order was taken, we didn't see our server for another 45 minutes and had to flag down another server to go find ours. When he did come back, it was only to tell us our food wasn't ready yet-- an hour after we ordered. Other tables came and went during the same time. We ended up asking to just get our order boxed up to go -- which also didn't happen and we left the restaurant 1.5 hours later without having eaten. With all the other options available, save yourself the trouble and pick somewhere else to go. read more

I traveled to Milwaukee for work and planned to go to the restaurant across the street, but came here instead. This place didn't pop up on any Yelp collections or "must visit" restaurant lists, but I think it was a delightful place and should get more attention. Here's my humble review - Food: I ordered the charcoaled beets, cacio e pepe, and raspberry gelato. The charcoal beets were so incredible and the dish was very well balanced! Refreshing and beautiful, 10/10 would eat again. The cacio e pepe was ok, nothing to drive home about but it was filling. Nothing too special. The gelato was delicious and a nice end to the meal. Over all the menu doesn't have a ton of vegetarian options (it looks like previous menus uploaded to Yelp had a larger variety). Ambiance: really beautiful place with ample outdoor seating. Service: Great, kind, and helpful staff. There was a bit of a wait but I it's likely just due to being short staffed. The servers were juggling a lot and I appreciated there service! In summary, I need to go back and get the charcoal beet dish again read more

my boyfriend and i came here with a res on saturday night at 7. we were seated quickly, i thought the decorations and interior of the restaurant were cute and really set the ambiance. i didn't like how closely seated we were to those next to us; i could fully listen to every word of the conversation of the couple next to us. otherwise, great service! i didn't find myself particularly drawn to a lot of things on the drink menu but i love that their food takes an an italian-mediterranean approach. the papardelle bolognese was my fav, spicy and unlike a lot of others i've had before. the side of brussels sprouts was necessary to balance out all the carbs but it had this sweet maple drizzle which made it soo good. they had a baklava cheesecake for dessert too which was so tempting but we stuck with the sticky toffee pudding with maple ice cream and that was just as delicious! the lamb kafta was tasty as well for an appetizer, i thought the inside was a bit too soft and mushy for my taste but this was my boyfriend's favorite. the salad pizza sounded intriguing but i was nervous about the lettuce on top so we stuck with the amatriciana, which is what our server recommended. overall great experience and i would come back to try the other dishes on their menu! read more

We stayed at the Kimpton and were wanting to find a good breakfast spot. Check out was a few hours away so we thought we would just check out this restaurant right outside of the hotel lobby. From the minute we walked through the doors, our experience was top notch. Friendly staff, beautiful ambiance/decor, comfortable seating and fresh and delicious food! We had the steak and eggs and egg platter (over-easy with bacon and sour dough). The friendly waiter asked if we wanted to share a pancake...we loved that recommendation and it was one of the lightest, fluffiest pancakes we've ever had. We are already talking about heading back to the Kimpton and Tre Rivalo! Great experience all around! read more

In town for college graduation on May 19, 2024. This place was wonderful, from the delicious drinks (Wisconsin Old Fashion) to the entrees. Desserts were fabulous. We tasted each others entrees and they were all outstanding. But what was most awesome was the service. Our wait person was so helpful and informative and always there without being hovering. In fact, I haven't seen such great customer service anywhere as we did with this Journeyman Hotel and the restaurant within it. This wasn't our first pick in where to stay in Milwaukee but it will be from now on. Also they have a great rooftop bar that we need to visit again. It was packed! What a lovely weekend it was for all of us. Thank you!! read more

Great location. Nice outdoor seating to people watch. Had delicious pasta. I'd recommend and will return.

We almost didn't come here because we were feeling too lazy to walk, but I'm so glad we did! We ordered a 1/2 charcuterie, 1/2 cheese board to start. This was the most amazing board I've ever had- to both my eyes and my stomach. There were 4 types of cheeses, 5 types of charcuterie, and a variety of berries, honey, jam, mustard and pickles in the center. So delicious! For entree I ordered a carbonara pasta. Super yummy and I highly recommend trying. It's served with crispy pork belly and shaved egg yolk. The sauce is super creamy and the homemade pasta was cooked to perfection. My fiancé got the carrot gnocchi. I tried a bite and the gnocchi was very fluffy! A different texture than regular potato gnocchi. It was served with rabbit sausage (which I didn't try) but he said it was pretty good. A good choice if you're feeling a little more adventurous! For drinks we ordered an espresso martini and a blushing giulio. Both were delicious and had the perfect amount of alcohol to our tasting. The espresso martini is exactly what is sounds like, so for you coffee lovers out there, this would be an excellent choice. For my ladies (and men too!) who love a sweet cocktail, go for the blushing giulio. Our server recommended it when I asked for something sweet and it did not disappoint! read more
