It’s been over four years since guests last tasted the Sicilian dishes from longtime Milwaukee restaurant Giovanni’s. But all of that changes with Safina: a new casual Italian concept that comes to the historic building at 785 N. Jefferson St.Focusing on comforting dishes with roots in Sicily and the southern regions of Italy, Safina's goal is to keep the menu familiar and accessible. The restaurant also features a full bar and second-level seating, complete with wood and marble finishes that highlight the rustic, modern Italian ambiance.

    Consistent, quality dining experience. Love the menu. Love the atmosphere. Busy enough to be interesting but quiet enough to carry on a conversation.

    Jack Pandl’s is a classic and I’m so happy it’s still around! The atmosphere is quite lovely and the place is super charming. The wait staff was very attentive, was well-versed in the menu and could make recommendations, and very pleasant. Food was good and portions were large enough that three out of four diners had leftovers. We treated ourselves to dessert, including the strawberry schaum torte, chocolate mousse pie, and apple strudel. The chocolate mousse was the best and I highly recommend. The others were good, but the mousse stood out. I thought the prices were reasonable for what we ordered and look forward to going back soon.

    This has become my second favorite restaurant in the Third Ward. The service is outstanding at the bar and while eating and the noise level make it easy to talk with the people you are with. People of all ages eating there, so very fun. The menu is exactly what you expect and the ribeye is as good as it gets. Medium rare was the exact temperature our server suggested.
