Tonight's visit was maybe my 4th or 5th (with every time leaving me wondering "why don't I come…read morehere more,") and it is tonight that I've decided that Egg & Flour is quintessential Milwaukee. This may be the extra helping of wine (I sat at the bar, and the gentleman politely asked "would you like some more wine?" and politely topped me off, because - quintessential Milwaukee), but in short: we have incredibly delicious pasta at reasonable prices in a fast-casual type setting. There's a world-class chef at the helm, but with any sort of air of being pretentious crowded out by video games, kitschy homey decor, and Midwest friendliness (and I'm not just talking about from the generous wine distributor, but his colleague also was very kind in making sure I had a good experience and welcoming me back soon). Tastes good and feels good. What's not to love?

Not what I expected but Solid choice!…read more I have always seen this place in bay view and wanted to give it a try especially since I found out the chef was previously on food network. This place is a no frills pasta with a more takeout feel. I think the food is solid past place.

My understanding is that it has a long-standing reputation here in Milwaukee, and I can see why. Service was quick and friendly, and while waiting for our bruschetta, I enjoyed the Italian music and general atmosphere in the dining room. That appetizer approved to be a winner: fresh and prepared with care. We ordered two pizzas to share, my favorite was a classic with red sauce, basil, and fresh tomato. Santino's zas are thin crust and loaded with toppings! We didn't have dessert, but I will the next time I go. I'll also be returning to play on Santino's outdoor bocce courts!

I thought it looked charming, a hold-over from an era not that far in the past, but generally gone. I looked forward to dining there, but it took a recent invitation from new friends to get me through the door. The only reservation we could get was for 4:30. Hmmmmm...OK, I figured we'd be the sole patrons at that time of day, but I was wrong. And that tells you one thing you need to know: Tenuta's is popular, and rightly so. Despite being generally more adventurous in my choices, I ordered the pesto. I judge every Italian place by its bruschetta (on the menu but not ordered) and its pesto, and Tenuta's passed my personal test with flying colors. The most pleasing things about the dish were the very generous amounts of tasty sauce on the pasta, chicken, and zucchini. The least pleasing was the pale orange of the very underripe cherry tomatoes included. Companions had the nightly special (gnocci with bacon and a gorgonzola sauce) and the Calabrese, a tantalizingly spicy dish. Everything was perfect. Desserts ordered were the tiramisu (a large portion) and butterscotch boudino, a dreamy cup of butterscotch pudding, homemade butterscotch sauce, whipped cream, and a bit of sea salt. Service was quick, professional, and friendly. The restaurant is small, but cozy and welcoming.

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.

We ordered a sausage pizza and a Margherita with artichokes and extra cheese. The pizzas were delivered while they were still technically warm. The crust on both was vaguely burnt, but good, traditional hand-style. The char added to the flavor profile. BF enjoyed the sausage and said it had actual fennel seed, a good sign. We both thought the sauce was good and not overly sweet - seemed not to be generic from a big can. My Marg was very good, although the extra cheese was not overly evident. We liked it very much overall and we want to try it again on site. They do not have my vote for best pizza in Milwaukee, however. Jury is out on that one...

Their website shows everything they have, and they have a Facebook page that shows their daily lunch specials. If you want to try this place you need to make sure to plan your visit when they're open, because they're only open Monday-Friday from 9am-4pm. I actually went on my lunch to make sure I got what I needed! I will consider this place in the future for their prepared items and even for some of their daily lunch options (to go, of course, there really isn't seating inside). I also will consider their platter items, they're very reasonably priced. My service was excellent. I called a day before to place my order and they had it ready for my when I told them I'd be there.

I was excited to be in Milwaukee today, given the many restaurants that have earned recognition…read morefrom the James Beard Awards. Most of those spots only open for dinner, so I was thrilled to find that Bavette La Boucherie now serves lunch. My friend, a local, told me the restaurant originally began as a butcher shop. While that's no longer the case, the space still pays tribute to its roots -- shelves lined with kitchen knick-knacks, butcher-block counters, and a display of local provisions that hint at its past. Chef-owner Karen Bell leads the way here, and you can feel her touch throughout -- from the creative menu to the casual-elegant vibe. The décor blends exposed brick and warm wood with soft light and a friendly hum from the open kitchen. Our server, Matthew R., had only been with Bavette a couple of weeks, but his background in restaurant management showed. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and offered great suggestions. Before our sandwiches arrived, we shared a cup of pork and tomatillo pozole topped with cabbage slaw and a dollop of sour cream. It was piping hot, bright, and deeply flavorful -- the kind of starter that makes you stop talking for a minute just to enjoy the next spoonful. Having read rave reviews of the Korean steak au jus, I nearly ordered it, but Matthew suggested the roast-beef with cheddar since I'm not a big lunch eater. Excellent call. The sandwich was divine -- tender, flavorful beef layered with melted cheddar on a crisp, perfectly toasted roll. The beef-fat fries had great depth of flavor, though I'd love them even more if they were twice-cooked for that extra crunch. Being more of a gin or vodka drinker, I couldn't resist the Gin Old Fashioned on the cocktail list. It was delicious -- smooth, aromatic, and balanced enough that I happily ordered a second. Great food, warm service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Bavette La Boucherie is a gem I can't wait to revisit.
