Yummy pizza! The crust is super thin, thinner than NY style pizza - that being said, I would…read moreheavily recommend dining in instead of taking out. If you take out, I'd imagine the crust gets soggy quickly. I split this pizza with my brother and it was more than enough for us, we ended up having a little bit of leftover. The service was friendly! Our server was attentive and warm. Interior has an old charm vibe - apparently they still use the same decorations from when it first opened. In the end there was a bit of a billing hiccup and it took about 3 calls over the span of 3 weeks to get it fixed. That was a little bit of a nuisance since I had to keep calling and asking them to fix it, and they ultimately did. Free street parking in the area. From my understanding, do not park in the gravel lot near it - it is not for Zaffiro's

What a fabulous meal and experience atTaurp Cocina! 3 of us…read morewent last Sunday, Aug 23rd, to celebrate a birthday. Actually 2 of the 3 of us had a birthday in the last 4 weeks. 1 of us had been to Tauro Cocina before. The food was excellent! We shared a house salad which was very good. The 3 entries ordered were: Linguine al Poblano, (house-made linguine tossed in our specialty poblano pesto with grilled chicken) Cilantro Risotto (cilantro cream risotto, served with spicy grilled shrimp, topped with shaved parmesan) And Grilled Salmon (served with your choice of risotto & sauteed seasonal. Each one was unique, so flavorful & freshly prepared. Excellent! The service was top notch. I had called earlier to see if they did anything for birthdays. The reply was yes. When arriving the host asked if we were celebrating any special event, confirming my call. Through the entire meal service was attentive without being obtrusive. When our plates were cleaned (with leftovers for each of us) the server brought out plates for both birthday friends. The plates had 3 churros, a small dish of warm chocolate sauce, were decorated with Happy Birthday & a candle. All with finesse. An overall great meal and great experience. Definitely worth visiting & I will be returning.

Our first visit to Tauro Cocona (and my first visit to the building since it housed Tracadero) but…read morewill not be our last. Great ambience. The menu offers enough options without being too big; we were intrigued by the italian/mexican fusion. Everything we ordered was delicious. The calamari was a great starter with a spicy red sauce. The pastas were fantastic. Finally the birthday churros the waiter delivered changed my stance on churros. They were fresh out of the fryer, hot and crispy. Gone in no time. The only complaint i can offer is that our server was not as attentive as you'd want. It wasn't bad service; just not as prompt as you'd expect (i.e. asked how our food was as we were halfway through the dish, we finished our cocktails and were never asked if we wanted another, empty plates sat on the table a bit longer than they should). None of which will keep us from coming back. Will chalk it up to a busy Saturday first seating.

I've been here a few times and it's always great. The last time we got the eggplant chips and…read morepiccante pasta. I absolutely love the fact that you can order a half potion of any pasta dish! The service was great-the staff was super friendly and accommodating. The inside was very nice and has an elegant vibe. The eggplant chips tasted great, super thin and well seasoned. I wanted to taste and feel a little more eggplant, but they were chips and followed through with the assignment! The piccante pasta is one of my favorites, and not just because chicken is included vs. an add on. The shape of the pasta is super fun and holds the sauce perfectly. The sauce is phenomenal, I normally ask for all the salt, Parmesan, red pepper, etc. up front because I'm so used to things being under-seasoned but not with this dish! It had the perfect amount of salt and spice in addition to the pasta having the ideal al dente cook to it. I highly recommend and cannot wait to go back for more!

I always hesitate paying a bunch for pasta, but this fettuccine was the perfect balance that didn't make me feel too bloated or sickly after from the amount of cheese. I don't think I'd do the breaded chicken again with this, but I already knew it would hit on some of their other dishes. Overall very nice, and I'd love to try their pasta flight next time I'm in town

Being at Up-Down brought back so many memories and brought out the kid in me again. I loved playing Pong, PinBall, Skee-Ball, and PAC-Man! The space at Up-Down is very cool. There was so much to see and something on every wall. I loved the posters, quotes, lights, and the nostalgic shows playing on the televisions. The two bar areas were nice and they offer quite the selection. I didn't get a chance to have any pizza but it looked like a good cheesy thin crust. I'll have to try it on my next visit!

This is a must try if you're in Milwaukee!…read more Watching the pizzas being made right in front of you is an experience in itself. The open kitchen lets you see the craftsmanship that goes into every order, and the team is friendly, welcoming, and happy to interact with guests. Their passion for what they do really stands out. I definitely ordered more than I could finish, but it was worth it! I recommend enjoying the pizza at the restaurant since it's best fresh from the oven. Since this is an authentic Italian restaurant, they don't serve ranch with their pizza, which I completely understand. I personally love a good ranch with my pizza, but that's just my preference. The Caprese salad was fresh and flavorful, and the pasta ball appetizer was delicious. Between the quality of the food, the welcoming atmosphere, and getting to watch everything come together, this was one of my favorite dining experiences in Milwaukee. I will definitely be back.

I was also excited to try this place because we have had Calderone club (same ownership) and we love it. This place exceeded expectations with a specialty of neopolitan pizza from a brick oven it truly is great! I would also recommend their cocktails which are just as good as the food. We also enjoyed their special pasta and the eggplant fries. Everyone was silent during dinner as they were busy enjoying. We also enjoyed our server who engaged with us entered great conversations and made tremendous recommendations. We loved the Friday night atmosphere as well make sure to grab a reservation.
