Make a reservation through their website sooner than later because there were hardly any openings for the date I was searching for!

Beautiful interior, super friendly/attentive staff and most of all THE BEST food I’ve had in a really REALLY long time! You can tell there’s so much thought and love that goes into each dish they prepare. I ordered the fried calamari, bruschetta, eggplant and the Fusilloni Al Pistachio with the creamy pistachio pesto. First of all you NEED to try this pasta. I’ve never tried it before, but decided to go off the waiters recommendation, and I’m SO glad I did!! I literally crave this pasta! Yes it’s THAT GOOD! Lol The calamari is cooked to perfection and the bruschetta was so fresh and had a beautiful creamy goat cheese that just melts in your mouth. I also bought a bottle of the ‘SAFINA’ olive oil made in Sicily from their very own olive trees in their home town and it’s been a dream to cook with. I can definitely say I will be a regular customer here.

When I first found out Safina’s was open, I was so pleased to have “Giovanni’s” food available again! From start to finish, everything was excellent. Kayla was our bartender for a cocktail before dinner, & Jacqueline our server. They’re both great at their jobs. There is so much attention to detail. We ordered eggplant parmigiana as an appetizer @ the bar & it was done to perfection.

Why go to Italy when Italy is only 15 min away from me! The place is very cute and cozy, felt like home. Food, was out of this world. We got bruschetta, insalate di mare, fusilloni al pistachio, chicken parmigiana just to name a few. If it was acceptable for adult to lick a plate in public, this would’ve been the place. Everything was sooooooo good. The flavor was on point! Can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the items on the menu!

I went here for my birthday dinner and it was absolutely delicious. Atmosphere was small, there were only a dozen tables, so the sound level in the restaurant is very low. Pace of service was great, and we felt genuinely taken care of by our server Lex and all the staff there. Absolutely recommend and we will be back! Frutta de mare was to die for, bruschetta was delicious and the Alfredo was homemade.

What an extraordinary experience this was Friday evening. After a slight delay waiting at the host desk, we were seated promptly by Bentley who would also be our server tonight.

Hands down best Italian food in Downtown Milwaukee. Since Giovanni’s closed years back I’ve been lost, Safinas hit every taste bud in my mouth and brought back memories of a home cooked meal by my Nana. I’ll definitely be back to try everything on that menu

So many people have been talking about Safina’s! And I mean really really good talk! Having been to Italy and little Italy on the north end of Boston we are always on the hunt for really tasty Italian food. We are pretty harsh critics. The whole fam was in agreement that this was a fantastic experience. I am literally craving it again today!

Everything we ordered was amazing! Loved the calamari, beef carpaccio, rosa salad and the Sucilian stuffed tenderloin was just as I remembered it from the 90’s. Melt in your mouth fantastic! Thanks Safina family for another great restaurant. Cant wait to go again.
