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.

Impeccable. The staff anticipates your every need without being intrusive. From menu recommendations, their knowledge and passion for Italian cuisine shine through. It’s clear that hospitality is taken as seriously as the food itself. 10/10 would recommend and return with friends.

Service was great, food was well prepared. Chef was just a little too free with the salt. Otherwise it would be 5 stars.
