Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet because it's our go-to spot for pizza! If you love…read morethin crust pizza, you'll love this place too. They're always generous with the toppings, and if you order a larger pizza you get free garlic bread or you can upgrade to Mama's garlic bread for just a small extra charge, which is definitely worth it. The salads are also generously sized. I honestly haven't explored much beyond the pizza, but the menu has many Italian favorites. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with comfortable seating and Italian music playing in the background. The service is consistently great every time we visit. The servers are always friendly, attentive, and efficient. Pro tip: Sign up for their rewards program, the points add up quickly and it's easy to earn free apps and other perks!

The service was great and we had our orders in pretty fast. The soups hit the table first. The chicken dumpling made me feel like a kid again. Great dumpling to soup ratio. We all ordered the chicken parmesan. These were massive chicken breasts, cooked really well. Way more spaghetti than I could eat. Great service, good food!

First time here. Came with another couple. It was a Thursday night, and we had 6:30 reservations…read more The place is a small, friendly looking standalone building on the corner. When you arrive, there is a bar with a seating area. There is also another seating area with a separate bar, which is where we sat. What I noticed first is that there are TVs set up throughout the restaurant playing Moonstruck, the 1987 movie with Cher and Nicolas Cage. It runs continuously, and I think without sound. I didn't have a direct line of sight, but I did notice it a few times throughout the evening. It's a quirky thing, and I like it. The inside is dimly lit, but bright enough to read menus and make out all the essentials. The lighting on the bars is a rich red, and it really sets off those areas. The walls are adorned with photos of iconic Italian female movie stars like Sophia Loren. I liked the classic vibe. The place was very loud. We were seated right away and settled in with waters, drinks, and menus. Our server did a nice job walking us through the menu details. It's mostly specialty pizzas, with a few appetizers, salads, and a couple of entrees. For drinks, there were a couple of Santino Sangrias, which were unique in that they included gin, a nice touch. There was also a Paper Plane Martini, which was very good too. I mentioned before that it was loud, and it was especially loud with a large group behind us. It got much better when they cleared out. I noticed that they have sound absorbing materials on some of the walls, which probably helps, just not enough. For dinner, we started off with a couple of Caesar salads. They were a good portion and easily shared by two. The dressing was fresh and the right amount. It was a great start to the meal. I would have liked to try the calamari, but nobody else was interested, maybe next time. There were three pizzas at the table, Margherita, Paisan, and a make your own with cheese, sausage, mushroom, and onion. I decided to be different and tried the Gigante Meatball Plate. The pizzas are Neapolitan, with bubbly, charred edges. All of them had excellent presentation and flavor. Neapolitans are not known for their sturdy centers, so you have to hold on tight to keep everything from sliding off. As expected, the meatball was very large. It's served with penne pasta, which was okay, though I would have preferred spaghetti. The sauce and cheese had good flavor. A solid entree, though not amazing. We were celebrating a birthday, so we saved room for a few shared desserts. We tried the flourless cake, tiramisu, and the chocolate hazelnut gelato. They were all good choices, satisfying, but again, not amazing. Lots to like about this place. Nice atmosphere, great service (thanks Tommy), and an excellent selection of pizzas. Would come back again, and this time order one of the specialty pizzas (Da Vinci).

I saw their Milly Cheesesteak on Instagram and had to come try it. This was my first time here and…read moreI am now wondering why. The staff and Chef Terrell Turner were so welcoming. The space is nice and while it took me a second to figure out what I was doing, I got the hang of it. This sandwich was so amazing. The flavors were bursting with that goat cheese bread and the cheesy steak. It was definitely messy but thankfully I had fries to go with my sandwich. I let the filling for the sandwich that fell out go right on those fries and BOOM! a second meal of smothered fries. Chef suggested some finely sliced pepperoncini and wow.. that really brought a different dimension to the sandwich. I will be coming back to get this again before it leaves the menu. The Garlic Butter wings were also so amazing. The flavors really melded well together with the smoked wings and the garlic butter. I could eat a dozen of these easily. I need to get back and try their pizza now. I will be keeping an eye on where their food truck lands this summer as well!

We returned to Milwaukee for a visit and went back to Sorella. The kitchen has improved…read moreimmeasurably. I almost felt like I was back in Italy. The dishes served at Sorella reminded me of the food I devoured on the Jersey Shore in towns like Point Pleasant Beach, Brielle, and Toms River. My Chicken Parm was fantastic, with a crispy breading and lots of cheese. Like on the shore, it was too much to finish. My wife's pasta was cooked al dente, with just the right amount of sauce. Most Italian restaurants in Milwaukee serve pasta swimming in sauce, burying the pasta's flavor. Sorella got it right. The service was friendly. We sat at the bar eating late and had fun. Sorella has become one of Milwaukee's best Italian restaurants.

I complimented her hard work & she informed me this was her first server job! The pizza is perfectly thin with a savory sauce-not sweet at all. Toppings were plentiful & served tavern style. The 2 of us polished off about half-while we could have ordered smaller pie, the leftovers were just as tasty! If you're looking for a relaxing space to enjoy a pizza, this is your spot!

We tried Pizza Ortolana during a visit to Supermoon Beer Company this past Saturday. Although pizza…read morefood trucks have become somewhat common in Milwaukee, Pizza Ortolana stands out for both its great tasting pizza and its unique style. Pizza Ortolana serves its single-serving pizzas out of a converted vintage trainer that now includes a wood-burning oven. Ortolana's uses their own Napoletana-style pizza dough which is softer and chewier than traditional thin crust. I had a Margherita pizza and the sauce was delicious, with just the perfect level of tangy. They plan to offer a rotating menu focused mainly on vegetarian and vegan options, but also offer the occasional pizza with meat. The Margherita pizza I tried cost $12, while my companion's vegan Marinara pizza was only $11. Ordering and payment is handled entirely through the CashDrop app, providing a smooth and touch-free experience. Although just two months old, the good news is that Pizza Ortolana has arranged to be serving their delicious pizza at Supermoon on a regular basis. Otherwise, the easiest way to locate them is via their Instagram account: @pizzaortolanamke

Every…read moretime I call, I am put immediately on hold, so today, I tried the online ordering and the site wasn't accepting online orders. So I call, on hold, the person answering the phone says delivery will take around 2 hours. Several times, I have said "Yes, I will wait for this delicious pizza!" That's only when they say it will take an hour. Never fails, it takes MUCH longer. Sometimes I have wondered if they have forgotten about me. I call them to make sure they are still coming. Oh yeah. They are coming. When they finally get to my house, I am so happy. But then I am disappointed. The pizza is always cold. Then I have to wrestle with whether I am going to tip the driver. As far as I know, the other guys suck and he's doing a great job. But who really knows what's going on over there. Why don't I just pick it up? Because I don't want to leave my house, that's why. I just call the Bay View Toppers now. It's super fast, super hot, very delicious.
