About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
SALA, is described as a hidden Milwaukee gem, and is your place to enjoy our innovative culinary delights. Rooted in the Sicilian traditions our Chefs grew up with, we are here to share them with you, adding a little love to each dish. We invite you to our house for dinner tonight.

SALA is committed to providing outstanding, fresh food through an independently owned, family oriented, local business. Our menu features a diverse selection of pasta dishes, choices for the carnivore and seafood lover. Our daily Specials feature exquisitely prepared dishes that feature seasonal favorites.
With a focus on fresh, local produce, we feature many items from our large summer garden near Holy Hill and Chef Anthony harvests basil, oregano, rosemary and thyme from our greenhouse here on Hampshire Street. We use many locally sourced ingredients from local vendors in our dishes to keep the menu as fresh as possible. Anthony and sister Teresa opened this neighborhood restaurant in 2001.

    Sala always delivers, one of our favorite places. Never had anything but a wonderful meal here. Servers come and go, so some are excellent and some are average. The owner is always gracious. The atmosphere keeps us coming back as well -- it really is like a big dining room, warm, beautifully decorated and chic without being overly fancy or trendy. Highly recommend you try it!

    We celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary at Sala, it is one of our favorite restaurants. We like it because we feel like we are in someone's home where extra attention is given to the food that they serve. We had the Shrimp Da Mare, two Chicken Parmesan and the special Pasta Shrimp special. All were really enjoyed. We had a great wine with our dinner, it was a Foxglove Cab. We finished off with a tiramisu and a cheesecake. We all commented on the way home, how good a time we had at Sala.

    We were greeted welcomingly. The ambience was divine, warm and cozy. Our food was perfect. We ordered the salmon and chicken marsala. We were so happy to have leftovers the next day. Our server was attentive and pleasant. We will be back soon!
