    Oh My Gosh!! Amazing food!! Their Chef is to be highly commended. Had a lamb appetizer, a beet salad, and ricotta dumplings. For dessert a chocolate mousse. Everything was TOO DIE FOR!

    Went to celebrate Valentine’s Day and our 5 year anniversary. From the start all the staff were very warm and friendly. As we were seated we received menus as well as a signed card from the restaurant staff 💕 You can’t go wrong with any of the cocktails and if you’re not sure, ask your server for a recommendation! We went with the mussels as an appetizer with mini potatoes and toasted bread. I could drink a pint glass full of the broth! We asked for another plate of bread and just kept dipping it because it was so good! Entrees were perfect and the portions were huge. Finally, the chocolate bombe dessert was one of the best we’ve had while dining out in Milwaukee. Overall: 10/10 would recommend ✨

    Tre RivaliResponded on February 17, 2023Thanks for celebrating with us! Look forward to the next date night

    Tre Rivali was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary! Great service, great food and drink! The owners even came to explain what spanish truffles are (a mushroom) and even brought out some to let us see them (and the fragrance was amazing)! It was a wonderful experience. Even the background music was amazing. My only con was that it wasn't very private where we sat and it was a little loud because there was a large party seated near us, however, next time I will remember to ask for a more quiet seat. I look forward to dining here again.

    Tre RivaliResponded on February 17, 2023We are honored to have you celebrate with us! Thanks for the kind words.

    Our waitress was short and rude to us. Our food sat in front of us for 5-10 minutes while she was chatting up another worker. We had no silverware. When she was done talking she gave every table silverware, but us. When my colleague got up to request silverware she was short and snappy with her. She then came to give us silverware and asked "How does the food look?" Additionally, one of us at the table didn't have our food ... a salad... We had to ask someone else to check on it because our waitress neglected to see the empty space and zipped away before we could mention it. She also took a long time to check our drinks and never came back to follow up on whether we needed anything with our meal. In fairness, she was nice to everyone else, but us, which made me wonder if it was because we were all Black or if she just sucks at her job. However, I will add the other staff was helpful and kind. We were here for a celebratory business dinner and this woman definitely put a damper on our night. It was overwhelmingly awkward and I will never eat here again because of their treatment. I also never leave reviews. Please let that add to my review as a reflection of how much of a bad time we had.

    Tre RivaliResponded on February 19, 2023Oh Nakeysha, this makes me so sad to read. Not just that you didn't have a great experience at dinner but that we spoiled your celebration. Although it is rare, sometimes we do just drop the ball, but there is no excuse. And I feel responsible in that I stopped by your table and did not notice you were upset. I only ask that you give us chance to win you back. We will take great care of you.

    My second time dining here. First much better Mixed experience this time My food was soso. Osco bucco pretty dry undercooked w little seasoning. Same said of mussels and broth. Needed flavor and cooking. My companions salad was excellent altho they forgot the olives and brought them out separately later. Her branzino was very good but sauce served with it was questionable Service was good but slow. Inconsistent food as I heard from several diners near us also.

    Tre RivaliResponded on February 17, 2023So sorry to hear about your experience Cooker. The kitchen usually turns the volume up on flavor, but sounds like we missed the mark with you. I'd love the opportunity to remind you why you liked us so much in the first place. Please let me know when return, we will take great care of you.

    Great food, wait staff was attentive. Time to get drinks took longer than expected but overall wonderful experience. Also they had a zero proof "mocktail" list on their drink menu which was such a great feature to have! (They had just added this so not sure if it is a forever thing or a dry January thing). Food was delicious and the menu had something for everyone

    Tre RivaliResponded on February 3, 2023Thanks so much Samantha. Our Zero Proof cocktails are here to stay. Whether someone is avoiding alcohol or just wants to go light for the evening, we love having options. And they are really tasty too.

    Great brunch at Tre Rivali We both had a Mediterranean omelet and it was very flavorful. It came with an enormous side of fingerling potatoes. The service was great and it was a very pleasant atmosphere. The restaurant is in a cute boutique hotel. I have eaten there several times now, previously for dinner. The food and service are always great, and they have fantastic craft cocktails!

    Tre RivaliResponded on February 3, 2023Thank you Lisa. I am delighted to hear you've had such a good time when you've been in. We really appreciate the support and business. Like you, I think that Mediterranean omelet is so delicious. Look forward to the next time. Thanks!

    Tre RivaliResponded on January 17, 2023Thanks for coming back to see us! Did you have our ricotta dumpling dish or branzino? Both are deliciously buttery - I'm a big fan of both. The rest of the menu is mostly olive oil driven. But if you'd like us to hold the butter, just let us know! Look forward to seeing you back DJDJ

    The only thing that prevented me from giving a five-star review was the music. The food was delicious, presented well, very fresh, and generous portions. The service was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was pleasant. However, the music was abominable. Someone seriously needs to change the music from 80s dance club tunes to something more conducive to eating. The food was so good that we will definitely return again and again. It would be nice, though, to have less jarring music in the future.

    Tre RivaliResponded on January 17, 2023Ries, Do You Really Want to Hurt Me, do you really want to make me cryyy? I know 80's music isn't for everyone, but ....We Can Dance if We Want To, we can leave your friends behind... and go somewhere else. You May Ask Yourself, Should I Stay or Should I Go? But we won't tell you to Beat It. So Turn Around Bright Eyes, and Don't Stop Believing, because our playlists are not always a Blister in The Sun, Ya Gotta Have Faith, it's not The End of the World As We Know It. Thanks the kind words :)

    Food was outstanding. My companion and I shared appetizer, salad, and main course. No complaints. We were assured sharing was more than OK. However, serving staff neglected to provide spoons that would allow sharing, and provided silverware consisted only of fork and knife. Small matter, but it was an inconvenience, and servers should be aware and sensitive to the need for tableware needed for sharing menu items. Otherwise, quality of food was extraordinary.

    Our first experience at Tre Rivali was fantastic, however, this time I was disappointed with the slow service (almost 30 min until we received our initial drink order), as well as the food quality. The Risotto Dumplings had little to no flavor and the Olive Oil Cake came to the table dry and almost frozen.

    Most of the food was delightful and would come back to have it again. Server seemed inexperienced and the food runner just dropped the food at the table and split quick without saying anything. We actually thought they forgot some dishes until the server showed up with the rest of our food about 20 mins later.
